I am surprised not a single F-35 lost on the ground so far.
Why the F-35? Have they suffered any aircraft of any type on the ground so far?

Any aircraft really. If it was a F-35 it will be its first combat loss. For a small country fully in range of artillery, I am surprised no aircraft lost.Why the F-35? Have they suffered any aircraft of any type on the ground so far?
Someone predicted on twitter that Hamas’s Al aqsa flood operation which broke down the walls of Gaza will have the knock on effect of leading to the end of the US empire the same way the Berlin Wall led to the end of the Soviet Union. But unlike the end of the Soviet Union which was largely a peaceful dissolution it will be a violent end. The escalation ladder has worsen significantly since Oct 7th. The prospect of a great regional war is more likely happening now. We are in for a major ride.The scale of this conflict seems way beyond the 2006 war.
You guys are starting to sound like Gordan Chang and his end of China talk, just on the opposite side.Someone predicted on twitter that Hamas’s Al aqsa flood operation which broke down the walls of Gaza will have the knock on effect of leading to the end of the US empire the same way the Berlin Wall led to the end of the Soviet Union.

Indeed, if having half your cadres balls blown off isn't sufficient provocation to justify massive retaliation, I don't know what is!You guys are starting to sound like Gordan Chang and his end of China talk, just on the opposite side.
If Lebanon wanted to escalate further they would've done so at the onset of the pager attack. Instead Israel saw fit to bomb and kill a bunch of Hezbollah senior commanders, with the leader of the rocket force being the most recent victim. We literally saw Israel getting free reign in Gaza and now freely bombing Hezbollah. For a military force with supposedly thousands of launchers the fireworks we're seeing so far is really minimal.
What, almost 12 months after October 7th they've finally overwhelmed iron dome in one city, if that really impressed posters here I'm not sure what to say.
Israel has been killing Hezbollah, Hamas and other resistance groups leaders for DECADES, has that has stopped the strategic crisis they found themselves in? They have not achieved any of their goals in Gaza destroying Hamas militarily and politically. The Israeli military admits they cannot defeat Hamas. Hamas is replacing their losses quicker than Israel is killing them. After 11 months Hamas and the other Gaza resistance groups command and control is intact. They are still able to conduct complex ambushes turning Gaza into a festering ulcer for the IDF.You guys are starting to sound like Gordan Chang and his end of China talk, just on the opposite side.
