⚡Hurricane Helene killed at least 17 people and caused massive flooding across the southeast United States on Friday, knocking out power for millions of customers.

Roads, homes and businesses were inundated after Helene made landfall near the Florida state capital Tallahassee overnight and surged north, though it weakened to a tropical storm.

The National Hurricane Center reported “historic and catastrophic flooding” and warned of flash floods in Georgia’s largest city Atlanta, as well as in South Carolina and North Carolina.

Up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain was forecast in the Appalachian mountains, with isolated spots even receiving 20 inches.

In Perry, a town near where Helene slammed into the coast as a powerful Category 4 hurricane, houses had lost power and the gas station was flattened.

No mind the bragado Satanyahoo.

Paramilitaries with not even a single tank. No single satellite or positioning system.

Just pickup trucks, AKs and rockets made out of water pipes.

I am waiting for the incursion.
Hamas bloodied their noses when they rolled in the Merkava.
Let's see what Hezbollah does.

It is officially now a war of attrition.

No wahala man

As for your previous comment, from netanyahu's UN speech, there's clearly someway to go

If we're to take him by his word, he'll keep on pushing the needle to the tipping point, but you should realise one thing, netanyahu banks on the US coming to their aid in an expanded war

In the case of a full war with Hezbullah, Iran will assist against israel. Note, they won't be directly involved though

israel can't sustain two fronts against Gaza and Lebanon on its own. I'm not talking airstrikes, i mean full invasions and the US has threatened, by deploying aircraft carriers as a deterrence, which has emboldened israel

As for Iran, they're trying to maintain a power balance in its competition with the sunni bloc. In a direct war with israel, they'll be weakened, which will be to the advantage of its rivals. Moreover, there's the US(west) factor they have to consider...but since Hezbullah is part of what gives Iran it's regional muscle, it will definitely assist incase of a war with israel

For all my criticisms of israel, the fact is they're one of the most technologically advanced armies on earth and one of the most powerful. They have very destructive weapons and mossad is an effective spy agency, but their ground combat capabilities aren't anything special

It isn't black and white, so when i make a point, you should know i do so within its context

Well said.


Israel won't be fighting a two front war why do you think it's attacking Hezbollah now? Because Israel considers Hamas defeated.


Israel isn't scared of a confrontation with Hezbollah backed by Iran . That may be because of the us backing. But I believe the US isn't going to put boots on ground to defend Israel.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Some 65 rockets were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel in the past hour, according to the IDF.

Shortly after 10 p.m., a barrage of 30 rockets was launched at Safed. The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses. Safed officials report at least two impacts in the city that caused damage.


Another 30 rockets were launches at around 10:20 p.m. at the Lower Galilee, some of which were also intercepted, (what happened to the rest!?)

Five more rockets were launched minutes later at the Western Galilee, some of which were intercepted and others impacted open areas, according to the military.

If Hamas can replace its leadership easily, Hezbollah can do it even faster.
In addition, there are lots of auxiliaries from the Axis of Resistance that can slot in temporarily.
From the IRGC to the Houthis and Iraqi militias.
Some 20,000 foreign fighters are trickling into Lebanon.

⚡DMITRY POLYANSKIY:

"Humankind is faced today with an existential crisis.

The reason for that is that Western countries under the leadership of the USA are so carried away by the proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, that they have lost the understanding that a global conflict between key players is likely to trigger a global catastrophe.

Western elites, who are likely to still be living in the Yalta-Potsdam system of international relations that emerged after World War II, have abandoned the principles of realpolitik based on national interests and indivisible security.


Realpolitik implies that strengthening the security of one state should not undermine the security of another.

Denial of that thesis manifests, in particular, in the unrestrained expansion of NATO; and finally this may create a real threat of the situation sliding into an uncontrolled escalation, which is well felt by our partners from the countries of the Global South.

Thanks to the 'efforts' of Washington and its satellites, the system of global 'checks and balances' and of fundamental agreements in the field of arms control has been almost completely destroyed.

The US is trying to level unfounded accusations against Russia in this regard, but, as we say, 'we take a note of every step."

is very easy to do there is already an established hierarchy in every military or paramilitary every one knows who is ahead of him in rank and who is behind him,even officers of the same rank have numbers giving them different seniorities,so for instance onces your commander is eliminated the next one automatically start acting as the new commander until a new commander is officially appointed

Yes that is if only one person that was eliminated. But Hezbollah's entire chain of command is dead.

israel has been attacking Hezbullah since the beginning, it has simply ramped it up

Hezbullah has said if the fighting in Gaza stops, it'll stop. It then goes that if israel has defeated Hamas, the fighting in Gaza will stop and Hezbullah will have no reason to continue as there'll be no need for ramping up the airstrikes. israel has intensified the bombings because Gaza is nowhere near being conquered and they know Hamas will not be defeated anytime soon, which'll mean the israelis of the north will remain displaced for the foreseeable future, with no set time for their return

The airstrikes and targeted assassinations are intended to pressure Hezbullah into backing down unconditionally, while threatening a ground invasion which they're clearly stalling on

netanyahu is in a bind, if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached, then the tit-for-tat with Hezbullah ends, but they remain in their positions a stone's throw away from northern israel. If Hezbullah ceases fire in keeping with a Gaza ceasefire, israel will have no valid reason for a ground invasion of Lebanon, the doing of which will be unpopular with all their allies

That's why they have to ramp up the pressure on Hezbullah with the battles of Gaza raging, otherwise Hezbullah will have a vantage position

Even if israel goes into Lebanon alone without US direct support, it'll be for a very limited time and they're very aware that won't be enough to achieve their aim of pushing Hezbullah back beyond the Litani river, so it'll be costly and futile

All evidence points to Hamas being alive and well in Gaza, yet you somehow see a different picture

Final point: israel being a world power and arguably the most powerful country in the region, disqualifies them being painted as victims as you're wont to do. They were victims during the holocaust because they were weak, today, they're far from weak, so this engrained victimhood won't fly

Firstly Israel has said even if the war in Gaza stops they will make sure they push Hezbollah behind the litany river. Because you can not just start attacking Israel beginning from OCT 8 for almost a year then expect Israel not to do anything about it and for the war to end on your terms. They attack in solidarity with Gaza they have sacrificed their generals for an already defeated Gaza.


When was the last time a rocket flew out of Gaza? Nasrallah is presumably dead and nothing from Hamas or have they abandoned Hezbollah or they have forgotten how to make missle with sugar and water pipes

Hamas has been defeated.

They are victims because they were attacked and forced to defend themselves.

As for invading Lebanon, time will tell

As for defeating Hamas, how have they done so? Have they degraded Hamas' fighting capabilities? If so, to what extent? Have they significantly killed off their fighters? If so, what's the estimated number? Have they completely secured any part of Gaza i.e. completely taken it over? Have they destroyed the tunnels? Have they recovered the captives? I could go on and on about this.

FYI, israel had very clear aims when going into Gaza. as of today, they've not announced the achievement of any of those goals

You seem to be using the launching of rockets as proof of Hamas' defeat. The reality is that since the beginning of the war, Hamas' and the other factions' volley of rockets significantly reduced and they shifted focus to guerrilla warfare, i.e. ground combat and maneuvers. What if i told you that just recently i saw a video of Hamas and Islamic Jihad firing rockets from Gaza into israel but it went underreported because the focus was on Hezbullah and Lebanon

Let me advice you, stop being desperate about Hamas' defeat, at least wait till israel officially says so and it's verified before you insist on it. I mentioned verified because the israelis have claimed many things before which turned out bogus, like their claim of being in control of Northern Gaza, only for it to be debunked to their utter humiliation

israle is an occupying power according to International Law and according to said International Law, the occupier is never the victim
