However there are lessons for our Ministry of Defence here. Cyber warfare is now here and will increase in proficiency. Fuck, I have a lot of long words today! Traditional regiments of foot soldiers are looking ever more obsolete. Yes the Ukraine war has shown that there is a place for troops on the ground with tanks, etc. but a well financed force of drones and cyber war could replace themm quickly.
Another however! Israel has bombed the shit out of Gaza but does not have a hope of ‘winning’ without genocide. Eventually they will take and neutralise the tunnels, but the hearts and minds of the inhabitants are already lost. The resistance of the people will continue – not funded by just Iran but secretly from other sources. The IDF will continue to slaughter civilians and children and the western governments are complicit. I am in the dark when it comes to understanding the Jewish influence over our 2 main political parties. They destroyed Corbyn and seem to have Starmer in their pocket? The Tories are, as ever, dictated to by the facists in Tufton St. Thuggery against the people is welcomed by them and their publicity machine. e.g. Nick Ferrari this morning justifying Israeli slaughter of children because they are killing Hexbollah terrorists.
When will the Governments of the west salve the guilt over the holocaust? There is no doubt that Churchill and others were aware of the death camps, but chose to ignore them – they could claim tactical reasons but they chose not to bomb them or their railways?
Peace in the Eastern Mediterranean will not occur until Israel is abandoned as a country. Nationalism, whether by territory, ideology or religeon will never bring peace anywhere. Nationalism and patriotism are an anaethema to civilised society. Brexit was based upon ‘taking back control’ or in other words nationalist fervour. Those who promoted it are now saying they will leave Britain if they have to pay their fair share of taxes. So not patriots then! The thugs in the Farage riots were basically frightened into action against migrants by the rich, who were protecting their assets.
I am meeting a New Yorker tomorrow to get a better handle on the American election. But their unswerving dedication to Israel is also puzzling and worrying? I did laugh at the MAGA guys who questioned a Navaho congressman on his status as an immigrant! They walk amongst us.
