Ah, yes. The famously incompetent IDF. Unlike those US SOF who have definitely never screwed up in any way.
Do you have any real evidence that US forces are operating in Israel besides your hatred of Israel?

No government can afford giving large enough baby bounties to move the needle. Kids are really, really expensive.
They’re against anything that the Democrats want. If the Democrats decided to fix the pothole out front, Republicans would rally in favor of potholes’ right to damage your car.
Because Jack Dorsey is obsessed with the same “free speech absolutism” that Elon Musk is, and he’s butter that people don’t want to be shown Nazi propaganda, hate speech, and all that other shit on his platforms.
Dorsey is an idiot, just like Musk. Don’t let their money fool you.
Gerrymandering, structural advantages, etc. the same as it’s always been.
Because unfortunately the pro-Israel, pro- cop Democratic candidates are much closer to the average voter than the nutbag religious extremists are.
No, it went to open signups a few months ago. I’ve been on it since February.
The US government also did time travel so that Obama could kill Kennedy.
If Elon Musk had had the misfortune to be poor, he would have been institutionalized by now. But since he’s rich, the media just fawns over all his whacko bullshit.
Even if the system isn’t corrupt, it’s run by humans who make mistakes. It’s only a matter of time before one of those mistakes gets an innocent person executed. The only way to execute zero innocent people is to execute zero people.
Because Trump would be so much better on the issue, right?
Maybe, though, it’s enough to get the coroner to take another look at his death.
He’s a high profile corporate whistleblower who allegedly committed suicide. Any coroner who isn’t already triple checking everything is way too corrupt or lazy to bother with another look.
The year is 2065. E. Jean Carroll is the richest human alive. She rules a business empire that stretches across the globe and even to Mars. This empire does not charge for services, sell products or even take investor funding.
Its only source of revenue is suing the immortal cyborg that is Donald Trump, who even after 40 years of taking Ls is still pathologically unable to keep his fucking mouth shut.
Only the Senate gets to block appointments like that, and Democrats control the Senate.
Somehow I think I’ll find the strength to carry on without your brilliant wisdom to guide the way.
You want to give up, throw your vote away voting for some third party crank and somehow I’m the defeatist? I want some of whatever you’re smoking because it sounds really strong.
If voting Democrat isn’t going to change anything, voting third party is definitely not going to change anything. Might as well make the higher percentage play, which is voting Democrat.
Artillery isn’t only indirect fires the category of direct fire artillery exists. Tanks only get eaten alive in urban environments when they’re poorly supported. The US has used tanks in urban areas from Hue to Baghdad without problems.
Tanks’ primary role is infantry support and for that job they have a big gun. You know what’s useful when there’s a bunch of guys holed up in a city building, firing at you? A really big gun you can point directly at them and give them hell.
The US has won against guerrillas before. They won in the Philippines and had mostly won in Iraq before the Iraqi government pissed off their Sunni minority and ISIS spilled over from Syria. The US also crushed the Viet Cong during the Tet Offensive and most of the war after that was fought by regular North Vietnamese Army units not VC guerrillas.
Most insurgencies fail Max Boot wrote a book called Invisible Armies where he analyzed insurgencies throughout the 20th century and determined that only about a quarter of them succeeded and more than half failed outright. Not only that, many of the successful ones took place in the context of colonization and the Cold Warz where they had weak imperial opponents, super power backers, or both.
So that’s a no on the evidence? And criticism is one thing, but immediately jumping to “the US must have done this, because the IDF doesn’t have commando teams that do hostage rescue, or something” is another. I’m really not sure where you get the idea that Israel needs the US to do special forces shit like ten feet from the Israeli border.
