Is this another demonstration of America's imperial military might? Visual shock and awe? A political flex for Joe Biden?
War involving Islamic theology is no game. Russia has responded by commencing, over the waters of the Black Sea, around-the-clock rotations of MiG-31 interceptors armed with Kinzhal hypersonic anti-ship missiles, whose operational range extends to 2000 km.
Colonel Douglas MacGregor points out that warfare today is nothing like showing off military might prior to WWI or even in the Iraq War:
"The weapons have changed. The arsenal of rockets and missiles in the region is enormous. People are quoting numbers in the realm of a hundred and thirty thousand rockets and missiles from Hezbollah alone. We don’t even need to mention others in the region. That kind of arsenal is enough in and of itself to destroy much of Israel.
"Then you have a problem with Hamas and Hezbollah and the rest of the region, and that is the rest of the region is as sick of Israel as much of the world and Europe is sick of us. And what I mean by that is that we are on the threshold of total war.
"That's what no one seems to understand. If the Israelis march into Gaza—which I think would be a very unrewarding exercise for them but, nevertheless, they seem determined to do it—they will not only lose soldiers, they will fail to root out the thousands of Hamas fighters that are there. They'll get some, but they won't get them all. They will not improve their position at all with the people of Hamas or the people living on the so -called West Bank. And the rest of the region is prepared to go to war. Stop and think about it. It’s not just Iran. In fact, Iran has militias that can attack us and anyone who works with us in Iraq and Syria. That’s one part of the problem. The Iranians are not going to try to lob theater ballistic missiles at Israel because the Israelis have said they would use a nuclear weapon, but Turkey is different. And the Turks have an unhappy record with the Israelis.
"Just a few years ago, Turkey tried to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Israelis boarded their ship, killed some of their citizens, and turned back the aid. This kind of thing did not cultivate support and friendliness in Turkey. And remember, Mr. Erdogan is the de facto leading military power in the Sunni Muslim world.
"Finally, you have the Pakistanis who are very close to the Turks and have made it abundantly clear that the Turks will receive nuclear warheads and other capabilities from them if they need them in order to deter the Israelis from using a nuclear weapon."
"And finally, the Turks have the largest air forces and armies in the region. The Turks can put two million men in the field in the space of a little over a month. And the Turks are ferocious fighters.
"Now, all of this spells doom for the Israelis if they launch this attack on Gaza. What I just described is an unwinnable fight. Even the air power from the United States that we could commit is not going to be enough."

According to newly released state-level filings and national survey estimates, homeschool enrollment has now surged past its highest level on record, marking a dramatic acceleration of a trend that began during COVID and never slowed down. What once looked like a temporary shift has now become a generational realignment.
Reasons parents give? Government schooling is anti-academic, anti-Christian and anti-parent.
Nationally, estimates now place homeschool participation at roughly 5.7 to 6 million students.
With Covid shots, what we have is — picture a middle-aged woman in Orange County, California, who gets a Covid shot and then she gets myocarditis. So now she has to do regular appointments with the cardiologist. She’s in and out of the hospital, she’s sick all the time. So over the course of the next five to ten years of her life, her health care costs are going to be in the range of about $2 million. And that all goes to Pharma, doctors, and the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
If that same woman was enslaved in a gold mine in South America, you could only get about $20,000 worth of labor out of her — the most if you worked her to the bone. And then she would, you know, eventually, perish. The old model of colonialism, right? But in five to 10 years in the U.S. you can squeeze $2 million out of this one person through iatrogenic [caused by medical examination or treatment] injury, through a Covid shot that causes myocarditis that sends her in and out of the hospital for 10 ...
It's a public school. His boy is 11. Here's what he saw:
"To begin, the boys are treated almost as though they are defective girls. The feminine modes of interaction and socialization are treated as though they are the only legitimate modes of interaction and serve as the taken-for-granted way to properly interact and navigate the world. Almost all the authority figures at my sons school are women with almost no exceptions.
My son often comes home from school and expresses utter frustration at the fact that his preferred way of communicating, as well as the things that are aligned with his temperament are treated as though they were somehow inferior. As he is 11 (and being assessed for autism) he lacks the correct technical language to describe this, so it generally shows up as him getting in trouble for being insufficiently "gentle" and "kind" in response to various passive aggressive power plays and instances of bullying carried out by his more socially developed (often) female peers....
