Scoop: Israel proposes 2-month fighting pause in Gaza for release of all hostages

58. It's weird.

I thought we learned the lesson about asymmetrical warfare after the Spanish were kicked out of the Philippines. And then we didn’t. But surely after the Vietnam war and two world wars, we must have learned that asymmetrical warfare cannot be won.

Nope, because a few decades later we invaded Afghanistan murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians as a response to 9/11 -sure that asymmetrical warfare can be won that time! And if that didn’t work, maybe Iraq would, right? Did the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians in Iraq justify the shit show authoritarian government that is essentially in charge there now to replace the old authoritarian government?

Okay that didn’t work…

I know! Let’s support our friend Israel in launching a massive attack on one of the most concentrated populations in the entire world as a response to a terrorist attack. I’m sure this will be the one that’s won. Surely what could go wrong? 🤔
