Lieutenant Colonels command battalions and Colonels command brigades. A battalion has around 600 men while a brigade around 2000. If Israel has lost this many top commanders along with lots of Majors and Captains, then is it possible that it's not lost hundreds of Sergeants, Corporals, and Privates?

Yet, Israel keeps lying that it has lost just 100 men.

It is normal standard military reporting.
Even Nigerian government do it.
You have to report less casualties for many factors -
1. So that there won't be outcry and uproar from the civilians that you are deliberately killing their own children while the politicians kids are safely tucked away in a safe far away country.
2. In other not to look weak to the global community
3. Not to demoralize your soldiers. Declaring really figures will put fear in the heart of the next batch going to fight and demoralize them.
So figures re kept low.
If government report that 10 soldiers were killed by bokoharam ambush, you better times that figure by 4 to get a near accurate figure

The Gulf countries are too rich and too few in population to allow hot headedness or militarism dictate their foreign policy

Only 6m of Saudi 30m population are Saudis, the rest are immigrants

Only 300k of Qatar 3m population are Qatari, the rest are immigrants

Only 1m of UAE 10m population are Emirati, the rest are immigrants

Only 1.4m of Kuwait 4.5m population are Kuwaiti, the rest are immigrants

Only half of Bahrain 1.5m population are Bahraini, the rest are immigrants

50% of Oman are immigrants

Of the native populations of these countries, half are millionaires and the other half are very comfortable and all will run at the sound of gunshot. The Indians and other immigrants will be the first to run

So what business do these Gulf countries have in doing hothead like Iran that have the population and the HUNGER to fight. Their demographics are not war demographics simple.

Their Kings know what is best for them and are towing the correct route of diplomacy, trade and soft life because none of them are built for war. That's why they have security pacts with USA and will call USA the minute Kuwait for example is invaded by Saddam.

I agree with your submission.
Most rich and well fed countries always have weak military men to fight.
Reason why the adage - bad times create strong men, strong men create good time, good time create weak men and weak men create bad time comes into play.
And this particular fact is the reason why there won't be peace in the world.
It is also the main reason why men have been fighting wars from ages, invading other people to enslave them.
If you divide all the countries in the world into smaller fractions, it is just a moment before poverty ravaged areas will start invading the richer towns to steal, enslave and control them and their resources.
Let's use Nigeria as a case study.
Why were the fulanis constantly invading southern regions?
Simple - to collect their lands and resources. Then, there was virtually nothing in the arid an desert region, so they don't have anything to lose and all to gain by invading a land with much rivers and good land for agriculture and also use them as free slaves to farm, their women as spoilt of war.
Invading is so lucrative and enticing.
So also the Arab world. If not for US, Iran would have overrun all these weak countries and lord over their resources and wealth.
Any day the last US war ship leaves the region, is the day a new border would be drawn. It won't take Iran more than a week to topple them all.
They all know it reason why they don't care about what is going on in Gaza. There own future too is at stake

Don't take those video serious, bro. They are deepfakes used for propaganda. Videos like that are edited and produced enmasse and shared to telegram groups to whip up sentiments pro-Hamas and anti-Israel. .

⚡ China agrees with Putin that "NATO is creeping into Asia."

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

NATO's eastward march into the Asia-Pacific region contradicts the alliance's positioning as a regional defense military organization.

These actions will only lead to confrontation between camps in Asia and undermine regional peace and stability.

China-Russia relations are based on the principles of non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third parties. The relationship goes beyond the model of a military-political alliance from the "Cold War" era, differing fundamentally from NATO's "small circle" and bloc confrontation.

⚡More than half of Slovaks opposed aid to Ukraine.

60% of Slovak residents did not support military assistance to Kyiv. Only 34% of respondents expressed a positive attitude, which is 3% less than in the spring. This is evidenced by data from a Eurobarometer survey.

Earlier, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico denied Ukraine weapons. He also stated that the government will continue to ban the import of Ukrainian agricultural products into Slovak territory, so as not to go against its own farmers.

While there will be a new task force created next week, whether there will be any direct response against Houthi military targets remains to be seen.

—The israeli soldiers opened fire on the prisoners even though they raised a white flag and shouted, “Help,” in Hebrew. (😂)

—One of the prisoners was not shot and fled back to the building from which he came out, but israeli soldiers shot him again despite his surrender. (🤣😭😂)

—In the building from which the prisoners emerged after their killing, the army found distress writings in Hebrew on the roof
