@Redactor0 You gotta admit this front of the war went swimmingly for Israel.

Yeah that totally did not go like everyone expected. Tbf to me it's pretty clear now that the 150,000 guided missiles bullshit was planted in the media by the Israelis. I think I deserve some credit for at least being skeptical.
Another thing I didn't predict was the Israelis not accomplishing anything on the ground. Presumably they're not trying very hard but it's a bit shocking to see there's fighting in Naqoura. In 2006 Hezbollah didn't even try to defend it.
Kinda seems like you're bringing up some things I was proven wrong about but not others for some reason.

What do you mean? there was literally an earthquake felt in Haifa from the amount of shit the ground troops detonated.
Presumably exaggerated. Still, Israel blew a lot of these up.

That doesn't make sense though, at least compared to the past. Like in Desert Storm the US sent like 10,000+ sorties trying to hunt down the Iraqi SCUD launchers firing at Israel. After the war they had to admit they weren't sure they got a single one. The real ones can move so fast they're gone before you can attack and it's easy to make decoys.
But I dunno, maybe they have new technology. Like way better IR cameras or something? I dunno. I was totally wrong about the whole part of the war and I'm still looking for answers.

I mean seriously that doesn't make sense because they can't even capture Khiam or Naqoura so obviously they can't hit their ATGM stockpiles on the border. On the ground they have gone nowhere. So we know they have no better tactical intelligence than 2006.
Extremely confusing because they were incredibly successful at killing off all the Hezbollah leaders. Maybe they had a backup plan where they went to cell structure and started actually doing guerilla warfare... that doesn't make sense. I do not claim to understand wtf is going on. It's like 50% of the stuff I predicted is happening but even a lot of that is totally against the way I predicted it would happen.
We were hyped up that there would be a massive Hezbollah saturation attack and a massive Israeli ground invasion and neither happened.
If I was right about one thing tho it's that nobody won. Hezbollah got the shit beaten out of them and hopefully will get destroyed. You and every r-slur here were telling me up to like 1 week ago that Hezbollah had no problem in domestic politics. Something I kept repeating over and over for years and years and had every stripe of r-slur here imagining that I hate Jews because... I say most people don't like Hezbollah.
I guess it was pearls before swine.
Anyway my people fought and died alongside yours. Oh wait. No. Those were Jews. Citizens of the real Jewish State. Frick you trying to steal our glory. The world was invented by Jews and they did it in America, half of it in Oregon, not your third-world shithole.
Do I hate Zionism? You bet I do. Because it's the idea that I can't live in the same community as my Jew neighbors. This might be acceptable to Taylor Lorenz or whoever is writing for the NYT right now, but it isn't for me. I'll fight and die for them just like they will for me.

Really? I was surprised we went in at all.
Never said that

Please explain.
The stated goal was to destroy all the Hezbollah rocket launchers threatening northern Israel. Remember what the war was supposed to be about? I'm apparently the only fricking person on Earth who does.

That's not true, the stated goal was to make it safe for the displaced to return to the north. Israel could have chosen to make a deal with hezbolla after killing Nasrallah, without sending in ground troops, and I thought they would.

Actually.... that might make sense.
The ability of the Israelis to kill off the Hezbollah leadership turns everything upside down. We still don't know how they did it. Can they still do it? Can they do it in other countries?
I would have said before that Hezbollah isn't going to just give up that ground without a real invasion but there's the combination of the Israelis killing their leaders and the Christian support they relied on has evaporated.
I made a lot of assumptions thinking that the 2006 war and the whole past were models to use.
But the Israelis got some new really really good intelligence source that I didn't account for. I wonder where it came from?
