GreenandGold, the unseasonal weather continues. Here we are deep in spring and we've got Level 9 storms.

I took my dog on a walk around the neighbourhood and the amount of storm damage! Good thing today is a public holiday cos the chaos if people were going to work and school is unimaginable.

And around the mountain, at Kalk Bay Harbour!

Just a few months ago, Netanyahu had terrible ratings, basically they wanted him out.

My theory is; the Israeli Intelligence deliberately allowed Hamas to gather and launch this "surprise" attack to allow Netanyahu to launch a military retaliation and boost his ratings, nothing unites Israel than external threats...

See, we all know how the Israeli Intelligence is one of the best in the world, there is no way such a large operation could have remained unknown to them, such information would have leaked weeks before the whole show started.

Think of "OPERATION NORTHWOODS" but with Hamas being allowed to launch "surprise" attacks inside of Istrael.

Israel's history has shown how fanatic their government can go for one Jew's life.

Same with the Americans too. They always rally round a war time President regardless of his party.

why would anyone take such extreme measures and kill his own people in order to boost his popularity9

This is Netanyahu, who just a few months ago was scheming to overhaul the Israeli Supreme Court and grant himself powers over it... this man has been putting himself over the interest(s) of the country.

Most likely at least to some compacity. Maybe not starting it but highly encouraging it to use the leverage.

Either way it’s none of our African business. Neither of these two factions could give an honest damn about our situation.

Using that logic any democratically elected president/prime minister of any country from south africa to nigeria to ind... to US (provided US manages to hold free and fair election in the 1st place) basically do nothing but scheme , don't they ?

Wait ! I need to check if my ideology matchs the ideology of the said president/prime minister of the said country

What the fuk, not conforming to my ideology !!!

[me in greta turdberg style] How dare you !!! ,
You scheming democratically elected president of another country, dare to do what you have been elected to do by people of that country !

The Iron Dome is not performing well. It's having a lot of misses

How can the iron dome perform when hundreds of rockets are been fired simultaneously. It's simply loving the iron will run out of interceptors ?

the iron Dome launchers are programmed to calculate the projectry of incomings rockets and there possible targets that's landing point, any rocket projected to land in let's say an urban area is intercepted, while those headed for nothing is let be.

The Iron Dome is the least of the problems, it's the hundreds of Hamas fighters who planned and executed such a large operation.... It's impossible for any functional intelligence organisation to miss that one, both the CIA and Mossad knew about it prior, they looked the other way to make this war possible.... Biden has to feed the US Military Industrial Complex before his term ends, and Netanyahu has to prop up his ratings.

The only f00ls here is Hamas for fell for the bait.

Happening now;

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar arrives Ilorin, Kwara State, to receive the remaining 2 Diamond-62 aircraft purchased for the NAF by the Federal Government. These brand new aircraft, when deployed into the battlefields, will no doubt add bite to NAF's counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency efforts. More details later.

Just as I said

What of the other theory on the other end that it was Iran who helped Hamas, knowing well that Israel would overreact and indiscriminately target Hamas in civilian populations and inturn cause Arab countries that Israel was trying to make peace with backtrack on that so that all Arab countries remain enemies with the Jewish state?
Haven't they also achieved their goals in that sense... It seems only Hamas and the civilian population are the ones who have lost.

Are you on that Facebook group, or did you get the pic elsewhere?

EDIT: I only ask cos some (no names, no pack drill) only lurk on the group, filch photos and yap prodigiously elsewhere.

Odunayaw, these are the baby steps that await you when you visit.
It's only water!

Yeah I'm on that group. I cannot join discussions there because it is mostly about SA + Facebook is quite dry these days. Were I not into fb ads, I'd have deleted the app by now

Baby steps? I'd rather stay in the walker! Who says I want to walk

the group can be exasperating at times, but I learn a lot there. I especially enjoy the input from veterans who've done it in both the SADF and SANDF, and put both the old and young bigots in their place. Seriously though, do you find discussions SA-centric?
Personally, I think initially the worthwhile ones start with SA equipment, but evolve broadly...?
As tactics, ops and strat. Lately I've been enjoying the contributions by the Kenyans, who bring their particular sensibility.

Yeah, I find that although posts are diverse there's more discussions when something related to SA is uploaded [as it should be].

And thank God for the veterans, there's always some forumite with weird ideas. I read a question asking if your country had something like the Iron Dome, I choked while laughing at some comments
