| Iranian Axis Grinds Down US' Will | ||

Firstly, to set the stage we turn to Israel, which appears to be concealing an operation that has gone off the rails, and is not yielding any of the expected results—and in fact has done little more than turn the world against them, creating a shockwave of anti-Israeli fervor that will steer sentiment for generations. As we now know, Israel has withdrawn many of its brigades from the north, citing ‘rest and rotation’ when in reality it appears to be ‘reconstitution’, as the brigades took major attritional losses. Now in the wake of that, the latest bombshell reports state that resistance fighters have re-infiltrated the entire north, leaving the map looking like that of below: I myself was skeptical—could Israel really have abandoned the entire north after “claiming” to have captured it? But here’s the double bombshell: even ISW admitted it:
All we can do is infer from a variety of objective observations, such as the distinct lack of any mass eliminations or captures of resistance fighters, which is very telling. Now, at the worst possible time, Iran has decided to turn the screws on Israel, creating extremely unfavorable conditions by locking down the maritime chokepoints, as well as putting unprecedented pressure on Israel’s top ally of the US, militarily, all across the region. Even as of this writing, a new US-flagged ship, the Maersk Detroit, was said to be attacked by the Houthis in the Red Sea, though US CENTCOM claims the three missiles were all repulsed. The US Navy has been relegated to a glorified escort, but since the al-Mandab strait has effectively become a warzone, it has nonetheless crippled commerce. | ||

| #3 Also, we have no idea how many jihadi bodies are accumulated in the tunnels Israel has already destroyed of the 350 miles of the things the Gazans spent the better part of two decades digging, versus the 200 or so dead Israeli soldiers. |

| #2 Those perfidious juices! The easiest way to find the tunnels they missedin the north on the first pass is to catch bad guys popping out of them… Israel is not set up for long wars. Most of their soldiers are reservists — there’s no one to do the work while they’re off fighting. Since this was always going to be a long fight once it started, it makes sense to rotate units through, as they did during the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Or so it seems to me. As for the Houthis, we know what to do about pirates. The world is discovering the cost of the Biden administration refusing to do the work, but they all wanted Joe Biden as president instead of The Donald, so now they get to pay the price for getting exactly what they demanded. |
