your talking wars of the past, its no longer acceptable to slaughter hundreds of thousands or millions in a war. And your comparing WW2 weapons and tech to todays tech, if you scaled what the germans did into modern technology they would be basically preemptively striking with nuclear warheads.
And its not global support that keeps israel alive, they purchase lots and lots of military supplies globally no country would want to lose them as a customer.
The arab countries point out the obvious fact yea they wont start a fucking war with israel because they would get their asses beat, but plenty of governments in the middle east support terrorist actions against israel or at the very least DONT condemn the actions which equates to support in my opinion.
you're talking out of both sides of your mouth bro.
On one side - they're killing 100:1. On the other side, they're dying all over the place.
But back to the obvious.
Are you blind? You just said Israel is surrounded by hostile countries. 350,000,000 hostile people - with plenty of guns, money, and oil. How the hell long do you think it would take them to completely overrrun Israel? Israel has about 3,000,000 combat-fit people. Most of them reserve soldiers. I'm talking - the Red Army mustered up millions - and overwhelmed an undersupplyed Nazi army. Israel's weakness is they can't carry out a protracted conflict. If the Arabs were to round up a massive army, attack - how long do you think Israel would hold? Even with massive casualties - 350,000,000 population - that's frickin huge. History doesn't' repeat itself? Hitler sure laughed his ass off at Napoleon's faux-pas of attacking Moscow. LOL - yeah, right - the all-ass-kicking Nazi army would lose to a bunch of Russian peasants with half-ass equipment. Yeah, right the 4th most powerful army in the world could POSSIBLY lose to a bunch of Bedouins with half-assed equipment. Shit happens.
And the allies of the potential enemy - Iran, Pakistan - they have weapons. (And Iran - they like to fight.)
If Israel broke its support - who comes to Israel's aid?
A United States with a smashed economy and overtaxed forces who have already been worn out and can't even control IRAQ?
Or European states whose antisemitism has been resparked by the brutality and inhumanity that Israel has been displaying?
Self destructive. They're tiptoeing on a fine-line. If they break the middle eastern iron-fisted monarch control of the populace, all hell might break loose. Acting they way they're doing right now - is dangerous. I'm saying we here, the US - should tell them whoa - hold up there buddy ... I think you killed enough people. Settle down before you break the camel's back.
We're not doing Israel any favors by being blind to what they're doing. If their support structure breaks - they're fucked.
your talking wars of the past, its no longer acceptable to slaughter hundreds of thousands or millions in a war.
It sure is, we just haven't encountered a big war yet.
Damn straight. These pussy nerf wars as of late - they're nothing. Plenty of historians have been saying this - that peoples complaints of "casualties" - are unwarranted and idiotic.
There were barely any casualties in these recent "wars".
If you want to think of what a modern war would have as for casualties - picture the US and Russia going all-out.
That's what to expect if there is a next time.
