Yes Paul,

We can look at what happened at the Christmas festival in Germany, a man;
(A Saudi Arabian who was a devout supporter of Israel I may add)
We can say yes terrorism is bad, many people can be impacted by others with a terrorist mindset.

But what the hell do we do with an entire state that acts like that?

Do you want to know what 'terrorism' actually is?
- 'Violence against civilians for political purposes'

At least I'm smart enough to know what it actually is.

If anyone was too stupid to see that's what Israel was doing in Gaza, then I don't know how they can't see that's exactly what they were doing in Lebanon. Hezbollah, was forced to stop its attacks in defense of the Palestinians because it wasn't popular for Hezbollah, also a political party - to continue while Israel was deliberately bombing civilians, so the terrorism was rewarded.

Some people in this forum are quite vile and disgusting in their opinions.
(I'm sure they think the exact same thing about me)
That terrorist behavior is perfectly acceptable when it's done for the side they support, but will call anyone else out for any minor infraction.

And Israel has been acting this way for 80+ years, their modern state was founded on this behavior.
War and death everywhere, but no-ones allowed to criticise.

'idiots arguing with idiots'
Well your probably twice my age ttbn
There's still room for improvement for me.
What's your excuse, whatever happened to 'older and wiser'?

Victim of your own clueless blinkers-on bias.

Hi AC,

"But what the hell do we do with an entire state that acts like that?" That's a bloody good question. We considered Germany 1939-45, an extreme terrorist state led by a fanatical Nazi regime. Following a war that saw 60 million dead, we instigated regime change, rather badly I must add. The geo-political state of affairs as East and West vied for dominance in Europe and ultimately the World at the time didn't allow for a smooth transition to a totally free and peaceful German (European) society.

Yemen’s Houthis claim hypersonic missile attack against Israel

A progress report on hypersonics—doubtful US weapons for the Western Pacific

A progress report on hypersonics—doubtful US weapons for the Western PacificIt is expected to cost $50 million per round, but most of the life-cycle cost of such a large weapon goes into the platform that moves and protects it. Because the Conventional Prompt Strike weapon is too large for standard vertical launch system tubes, the US Navy is putting it on its three Zumwalt-class destroyers, replacing the two 155 mm guns (for which the Navy never procured ammunition). Each of these 15,900-tonne ships would carry just 12 missiles. Nine of the ten Block V Virginia-class attack submarines, priced at $4.3 billion each, will also be able to carry 12.

50 million per round?

1 trillion for U.S. submarines? Let's say 368 bln as claimed
In AUD shouldn't that be about 50 Virginian class submarines?

US warplane shot down in Red Sea 'friendly fire' incident

Yemeni Armed Forces: WE SHOT DOWN AN F-18 FIGHTER JET
http://x.com/warfareanalysis/status/1870840156040855888

•We thwarted an American-British attack on our country and targeted the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and several of its destroyers as the aggressive assault began last night.
•We carried out the counter-operation with 8 cruise missiles and 17 drones.
•During the operation, we shot down an F-18 fighter jet, forcing most of the hostile warplanes to leave Yemeni airspace for international waters over the Red Sea to defend the carrier under attack.
•The targeted aircraft carrier withdrew from its previous position toward the northern Red Sea after being subjected to multiple strikes by the missile force, naval forces, and unmanned aerial forces.

- Seriously if the U.S.cant even deal with the Houthis, then we are probably better off not getting into a war in the first place
- It will send us broke, and we will lose.

"so you went down to the library and got him a bunch of books on military strategy"

No Paul, I gave him the books from MY library ie I'd already read and was familiar with these books.

Do try to keep up. But with comprehension skills this bad, perhaps we have an understanding why Paul is so ill-informed.

Let's face facts.

These stupid submarines are going to spend more time outside of our territorial waters than they will within them.

Which means that by default they'll primarily be used for provoking other countries into a war, rather than spent inside our waters defending our country from a war.

We are not the worlds policeman.
Other nations conflicts and internal affairs are neither our business or our problem.

Trumpster, Happy New Year,

I'm glad you are so fascinated with killing people, militarism is nothing more than legalized murder. Your young bloke, seems he's chip off the old block as well.
