atelier morgan posted:the us already spent years trying to occupy yemen with the saudi military using american weapons, intelligence, advisors, shot callers and every other kind of support and all that did was leave columns of burning abrams tanks and strike eagle crash sites scattered across the country Do you think the US military cannot decide to get in a quagmire personally? And not to say that the US will "win" in taking out the Houthis/Yemen but lol let's not be stupid and pretend that the Saudi Arabian military is anything but total trash when compared to the US military. Like I want Palestine to be free, and I want the Houthis to drop the shipping blockade because of a ceasefire and/or free Palestine - so I'm not rooting for US success against Yemen here, just trying to be reasonable when assessing various militaries effectiveness.

wow sounds like Israel is losing the war and should surrender:- ======================== https://www.aljazeera.net/news/live...?update=6204919 Wall Street Journal: Hamas possesses enough ammunition to strike Israel for several months The American Wall Street Journal confirmed that American intelligence estimates showed that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) still possesses enough ammunition to strike Israel for several months. The newspaper quoted Israeli officials as saying that despite the air and ground campaign in Gaza, "the goal of destroying Hamas has not been achieved." Israeli Opposition Leader: We support any exchange deal even if it costs us a ceasefire Israeli Army Radio quoted opposition leader Yair Lapid as saying that the opposition supports any prisoner and detainee exchange deal with the Palestinian resistance, even if the return is a ceasefire agreement. grandmother of two Israeli prisoners: We lost the war in Gaza Makbit Maya, the grandmother of two Israeli prisoners, said, “Israel lost the war in Gaza, unfortunately, so I hope that the war will end and that the Israeli prisoners will be returned safely to their families.”

American GIs can still be made to get out and cover the tanks. but there’s no way it wouldn’t be the highest casualty event for the USM since Vietnam.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:this kind of reads like Eisenkot’s despairing pessimism has cleared up a log jam that was stopping Israelis from admitting they’ve lost. It's moreso that people are recognizing that military action has failed and will continue to fail to bring back the hostages, without which Israel can't even pretend to have won. Full stop. When protestors chant "there's no victory without the hostages," they're not exaggerating. If they die, the last remaining thread of the social contract will be torn to shreds. E: in general, you won't struggle too much to find Israelis saying we've lost the war though they mean it in a political sense: "we won't fully achieve our goals and the whole affair has been such a humiliating disaster that crippled Israel domestically and internationally, it can't really be called a victory". It's a whole other story to find Israelis who think we lost in a militairy sense: "the IDF is getting its rear end kicked in Gaza". Sancho Banana has issued a correction as of 09:00 on Jan 21, 2024 |

Hamas isnt budging from any of its demands in negotiations which means theyre very confident about where they are militarily ===== Ynet, according to an Israeli official: Israel is ready for a long truce and increased aid to the Gaza Strip, but Hamas insists on a ceasefire https://x.com/alarabytv/status/1748814237437157858?s=46
