    In a year the Donbas will still be Russian, and Southern Lebanon will still be Lebanese.

    Could I get a reality check for this? Does it mean anything? What exactly is a Nour missile?

    5m ago / 9:52 AM MDT

    Hezbollah fires ‘Nour missile’ into northern Israel

    Hezbollah said in a statement that it fired a “Nour missile” at Israel, which sources familiar with the Lebanese militant group told Reuters is a ballistic missile. The missile hit the village of Kafr Giladi in northern Israel, the statement said, adding that it had fired it in response to “Israeli violations of cities, villages, and civilians.” It was the first time they have used the missile, the statement said.

      President Joe Biden called for a cease-fire “right now” when asked whether he was comfortable with Israeli plans to invade Lebanon. “I’m more aware than you might know and I’m comfortable with them stopping,” he told reporters at the White House.

      While giving them billions in more bombs and arms to fuel their war. Just die-motherfucker already.

          Are antiship missiles substantially different to cruise missiles? I think most are a type of cruise missile with the ability to make targeting adjustments on the way in

            Not a military expert but most antiship missiles I’ve heard of tend to fly low and fast to strike the side of the ship and make it sink; as opposed to ballistic missiles which are fired in tall unguided arcs that impact the target from a steep angle which can make them penetrate bunkers and destroy buildings more effectively.

              Yeah, “cruise” in cruise missile refers to flying like a plane, which modern ones tend to fly low to evade RADAR. Typically cruise missiles are much much slower than ballistic missiles, but everyone is throwing money at hypersonic descent cruise missiles (basically, the last dozen miles the missile accelerates and jinks to make it hard for defenders to shoot down). Anti-ship missiles I think are just cruise missiles that can track a target (traditionally, buildings and ammo dumps don’t move to evade fire)

              (also, idk why I wound up being the missile nerd in the war nerd thread. I think people have lost interest in it since the first year of the Ukraine war as Ukraine has run out of missiles to shoot with or shoot down with)

                  At some stage, but either they burned through them, they never arrived, or didn’t do very much. Whatever else is going on, people aren’t talking about big missiles as regularly

    There are reports of large numbers of troops and tanks moving to the border, so it seems like they are really going to do it.

    On paper, Hezbollah still has everything they need to defeat such an invasion. Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality, or they have more cards up their sleeve.

    Also, from what I’ve heard, it sounds like Israel will invade through Syria in an attempt to bypass defenses in Lebanon. But both Hezbollah and Syria have probably been preparing for that for a while now.

      They are fully detached from reality. They have effectively opened up three fronts in the past month.

      Let’s just assume full scale occupation is successful on all fronts, they’ve just welcomed a half dozen legitimate insurgencies that they have no chance of overcomingn in the long run. Zero. They are fucked.

    After Iran’s massive fuckup I’m no longer confident on predicting how this will go.

    Fully prepared to read about how Israel just rolled in with zero opposition because Anthony Blinken promised each member of the resistance $3.50 if they just didn’t do anything.

    I want to see so many NATO officials and Zionists swinging from lampposts that you can use them as wind farms

    There is no end to this, they will not rest until everything is dead and not a single Zionist will change their mind because doing that already means admitting things you can never be forgiven for

      I want to see them all crucified and eyes taped open so they’re forced to watch decolonization happen right before them.

      Oh and also build a bonfire near where they’re crucified and only light it during the spring or summer.

      America really needs (deserves, really) a nuke dropped on it.

      Put these assholes in check.

      You want to be so flippant about human life? Hopefully someone comes along and gives America that same fucking treatment.

      Fuck America and fuck Israel.

      smuglord Oho you really fall for the russian propaganda of it being a “special military operation”? You hapless fool, I am not so easily deceived.

          It’s exactly what it says on the tin. It’s evil. They know it’s evil, but they throw up their hands and say, “it is what it is” and engage in evil. The evil has become so banal that it is a matter of course to practice it.

      It will be a limited ground incursion, in the sense that Israel will completely blanket the area with bombs before doing anything on the ground. And they can do it forever, since the US will just give them more bombs.

    Israel is such a dangerous aggressor. Nuclear armed, bombing their neighbors, constantly waging war against an entire region, committing genocides. Please Iran, set off the biggest bomb you have in tel aviv.
