doesnt look like Israel will be colonizing Lebanon any time soon, the IDF is the best in the world at massacring people from the comfort of a console room but when it comes to boots-on-the-ground combat theyre pretty terrible

There was no intention to colonize Lebanon; our focus is on clearing the 3 km strip along the border.

When we fight with large-scale tactics, there are accusations of genocide, and when we go house to house, we’re criticized we’re not good enough
But the 1.4 million displaced Lebanese and the 3,500 Hezbollah fighters who’ve been killed see it differently.

Meanwhile in Chicago religion of peace strikes again:

Smotrich is a reckless thug who only holds his position due to the political deadlock between the left and right wings. Once the war is over, he’ll be back sitting in the opposition seats.

In just one year, the U.S. has spent at least $22.76 billion on military aid to Israel and related U.S. operations in the region.
Furthermore, there are other broad categories of spending that are not included, such as increased U.S. security assistance to Egypt, Saudi Arabia or any other countries, and costs to the commercial airline industry and to U.S. consumers

weapons deliveries since October 7 include 57,000 artillery shells;
36,000 rounds of cannon ammunition; 20,000 M4A1 rifles; 13,981 anti-tank missiles; and 8,700 Mk 82,500 pound bombs. On August 13, 2024, the Biden administration announced $20.3 billion in additional arms agreements with Israel to be carried out in future years

Israel receives favorable financing arrangements related to U.S. military aid. For example, U.S. aid is provided on a “cash flow” basis, which means that Israel is able to finance multi-year purchases from the U.S. based on future commitments, before the funds have been officially appropriated by Congress. This method has been employed in the purchase of U.S. combat aircraft, allowing Israel to defer payments that would normally occur as items are delivered into future years, according to an agreed upon payment schedule. No other nation has such an arrangement for the use of U.S. military aid. Israel also receives its military aid from the U.S. as a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year, which allows it to earn interest on U.S. assistance.

A Reuters piece published on June 29, 2024 underscores the importance of U.S. supplied munitions to the Israeli war effort. The article noted that as of that date, experts had determined that the contents of U.S. shipments from October 2023 and June 2024
“appear consistent with what Israel would need to replenish supplies used in its eight month intense military campaign in Gaza

4,127,000 kilograms JP-8 jet fuel
57,000 155mm artillery shells
36,000 rounds of 30mm cannon ammunition
20,000 M4A1 rifles
13,981 anti-tank missiles
8,700 (Mk82) 500-pound bombs
3,500 night vision devices
3,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions
14,100 (Mk84) 2,000 pound unguided bombs
3,000 laser-guided Hellfire missiles
1,800 (M141) bunker buster bombs
2,600 250-pound small diameter bombs
200 Switch Blade (Series 600) drones
More than 100 Skydio X series drones
75 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV)

Tl:dr: If it wasnt for uncle sam, israel wouldnt be able to keep their war efforts afloat. Israel hasnt even defeated hamas yet and they're picking a fight with iran, lebanon, syria,iraq and yemen.

That Israel is starting wars on multiple fronts, that it alone cannot sustain without the backing of Uncle Sam. Basically, the United States has let Israel run wild and now the West is beyond the point of no return. This whole shitshow was easily avoidable, but no one dares to stop Israel.

The only way out of Israel's current predicament (IMO) is with direct US involvement. Do you agree with this analysis?
