You don’t know politics. I do. When I have worked with Democrats in conservative areas I have always encouraged them to steal every issue. Whoever runs against Trump should be brutal as frick and go to war at drop of a hat to force him to super extremes.

So, they used ultralight gliders to take off. Powered by the equivalent of a Briggs and Stratton. They seemed to be flying at under 500 feet. Reputable images for what I saw (cellphone vid of some arsehole flying over at maybe 200 feet) are not currently locatable.

With lightweight gliders like that, you sort of slide into wherever you want to go. Rifle strapped to the glider, ready to rock, especially because everyone is confused as to why there is someone there in a glider.

Ok, there's one video showing how they take off with a glorified lawnmower. Then another video showing just the parachute and the man dropping out of the sky. No briggs and stratton.

I saw the homemade ultralights, but the paratroopers were clearly dropped from a plane. So did Hamas acquire access to some aircraft or those the wrong pictures

So Israel has ceased supplying electricity, gas, and food to Gaza? I don’t see how Gaza functions more than a few days, even if it isn’t leveled. It’s effectively an island as it is, and they will be starved out.

That said, the whole place will be rubble within a week. This land should be annexed into Israel proper, once it’s cleared out and secure. frick these terrorists.

Also, Hamas will be destroyed scorched earth style, not just because of their heinous acts, but as a warning to hezbollah. frick around and find out (like Hamas)

Explain it to me, and all of us, smart guy. The video shows people dropping in on parachutes.

Then, in a separate video, it shows people driving the equivalent of an airboat with a parachute attached and getting off the ground.

In the video of the paratroopers dropping, where are the flying machines?

That was one of the problems when Hamas took over. The residents were used to not paying bills that were previously covered by the PLO (probably with our tax dollars, or those of the EU). Hamas took over and didn't want to pay bills. Since residents didn't pay, Hamas had no money to pay for what residents were consuming. The PLO told the Israelis to cut off any services that weren't current. Hence, "The Jews don't give us water."

The IDF overall should have. But, we're talking about under 100 shooters (at current count). We had one shooter in Vegas that killed a bunch of people, but nobody noticed. I'm not excusing intel failures at all, but IL needs to be on point every time around Yom Kippur.

It was over 1,000 shooters, or at least terrorists in general, who attacked. At least that's the number being thrown out there.

America is a waning power. We no longer carry the gravitas or the intimidation of past decades. And in terms of wealth, we run about the tenth strongest currency in the world. Also, there's real concern the dollar may lose its status as the world's reserve currency.

The world no longer follows us or looks to us for leadership.

This is proven false as reports came out that Iran just used the money given towards this. It will never be removed under normal circumstances as long as the United States still buys the worlds shite.

@Shayan86 does a really good job of vetting alot of fake and misattributed videos and pictures out there. He's been doing it for a while now. At least one of the videos of parachuters/troopers that MrLSU posted earlier was from Egypt. Several of the videos of them that have gotten the most views are from Egypt. One is of the 82nd and 101st Airborne doing training jumps, and another video of a supposed rocket attack was from a damn video game.

Xwitter thread

The guy is a good overall follow for sorting out the bullshite.
