War in Israel

Bad idea. You need to ditch Seagal. A great example of an insider threat to your security plan.

I've done the cost/benefit analysis. The math says he comes.

I'll bite just for a thought experiment. If you were in charge, what would you require to keep a CSG safe during a canal or straights transit? Would you make any compromises?

I dig it. But why would Chuck Norris need to bring a carrier with him?

For those uninitiated on all things Skeeterman, there are a few threads here, and here. Very entertaining.

Only the second link works, the first says I don't have permission, so I am guessing that is the moderator thread. However my understanding was there were two working links...?

I forgot about the Jeane-Claude X factor, but the center of gravity (or COG for you planning nerds) is still Chuck. His MLCOA and MDCOA is explained in this gif.

The release of this episode could not have been more timely. The conversation on proportionality starts around 18:00, however, the entire episode is worth a listen especially if you are not well acquainted with the LOAC, like myself.

EP 98: Matthew Waxman on Israel, Hamas, and the Law of Armed Conflict

Mirage, I would like to apologize for making personal attacks. That was out of line.

That was quite interesting, thanks for posting it.

Interesting poll.
Takeaways:

• Growing number of Americans think Israel has gone too far, including 42% of independents and 56% of Dems (up 21% month over month)
• 49% of independents say we should not be funding Ukraine or Israeli wars (33% that we should fund both).
• 56% of independents say we should worry more about US issues and play less of a leadership role.
• Republicans on all 3 issues align more closely with independents than do Dems.
• Independents have a 33% approval rating of Biden

It'll be interesting to see if Biden shifts his messaging from complete support of Israel, asking for more money/equipment to give to them, etc. Likewise, it'll be interesting to see if Israeli tactics/messaging changes, potentially as a result of pressure from the US.

"Methodology: The survey of 1,429 adults was conducted Nov. 6-9 by the Marist Poll by phone, both cell phones and landlines using live interviewers, by text or online in both English and Spanish. The margin of error is + or - 3.4 percentage points".

I'm curious how they arrived at a 3.4% margin of error by sampling 1,429/330,000,000 Americans ?
