[Edit today we know that more than 100 are dead, including children, oh and it took police an hour to do sth, great!]

In case you don't know yet, hundreds of people were in a famous concert hall with their children when terrorists entered the building, killed security, went on a fucking stage and started to shoot at people. They threw grenades, set fire to the building. And it basically happened in Moscow.

At least 60 people died, more than 140 people are injured. One child died for now and lots of kids are still in the hospital with severe damage. We still don't know the exact numbers.

And it turns out that our government and some other kinda knew about some planning attacks. Which is absolutely great and cool and awesome.

Armed people are walking on city streets and nobody cares, they would certainly care if they saw a rainbow sign on someone, cause it's an absolutely valid reason to send special forces on them. But armed people? What harm might they cause

Goodnight indeed. My family and friends are safe, but we don't feel safe anymore.

A U.S. Marine looks to the heavens as he holds an American flag while mourning the loss of his friends after the terrorist bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon on October 23, 1983.

Investigators later traced the bombings to a Hezbollah terrorist who planned the attack with material assistance from Iran.

Terrorist Attack on Russia Has USA Fingerprints All Over It.

Al-Qaeda was created by Western intelligence to fight the Russians, and has been used as a catalyst for illegal wars and tyrannical laws ever since. 🤔

Palestinian Authority security forces killed a commander of the Islamic Jihad terror group’s Jenin Brigade early Saturday morning, sparking clashes in the West Bank city, Palestinian media reported.

Gunshots and explosions could be heard in the city and PA forces  set up checkpoints around the city, that has been a hotebed for terror groups in recent years.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander was named in the reports as Yazid Jaysa, who is said to have been wanted by both the PA and Israel. There was no immediate confirmation from Islamic Jihad.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander was named in the reports as Yazid Jaysa, who is said to have been wanted by both the PA and Israel. There was no immediate confirmation from Islamic Jihad.

The operation was part of a larger PA crack down against terror groups in Jenin, which the PA says is to restore security and stability to the area and comes as Ramallah appears to be trying to signal that it could play a significant role in managing a post-war Gaza Strip.

Brigadier General Anwar Rajab of the PA’s security forces confirmed the reports, and told the official Palestinian news agency Wafa that his forces “thwarted a disaster in Jenin camp, by containing a booby-trapped vehicle prepared by outlaws.”

Rajab said that the vehicle “was supposed to be detonated among citizens and security personnel, as part of a cowardly criminal act that reflects an ISIS approach alien to our Palestinian values ​​and morals and contradicts the course of our national struggle.”

Rajab added that a previous car bomb had detonated in recent days injuring a number of civilians and members of the security services.

You walk past a car parked on the side,

unremarkable, but with death tucked inside.

A flash, a roar, then the world tears apart,

steel and fire ripping through the heart.

Shards of glass slice the cries in the air,

smoke rolls thick, hiding faces of despair.

You feel the heat on your skin like a brand,

the weight of destruction forced into your hand.

Who plants a device where children will play?

Who decides who will live and who dies today?

You stare at the crater where joy used to dwell,

and wonder if this place is heaven or hell.

Произошедшее в Крокус Сити Холле трудно недооценить. Пострадали и погибли невинные люди. Это действительно ужасное и болезненное событие, которое касается каждого. Это вызывает ужас и боль. Я нахожусь далеко от места теракта, но это нисколько не уменьшает моих душевных переживаний. Хочется выразить соболезнования пострадавшим, их семьям и семьям погибших, а так же каждому, кто каким-то образом от этого пострадал. А так же призвать людей быть бдительными и осторожными. Помните, что это может произойти где угодно и с каждым из нас.

So sad to hear the news about the Southport terrorist attack (even though the media persists on not calling it a terrorist attack).

It's even worse, knowing that one of the girls that died was portuguese. My heart goes to Alice's family and friends, as well to the relatives of all the victims and the people in critical condition at the hospital, fighting for their lives.

Of course the media persists in hiding the identity of the murderer, but everyone already knows who he is. The more they try to hide and protect those individuals, the more the people look for the answers by their own means.

People who don't conform to European culture, don't belong in Europe.

It's not Europe's fault, as some like to portrait. And it's not racism or xenophobia. It's facts.

May God have mercy on their souls. May they rest in His embrace.

Why would a battle fought 54 years ago provide key insight on what Hamas' strategy is today?

Asymmetric Warfare. It's a term that most people don't really understand. Before I did this, I was a United States Army Green Beret and I did a couple of combat tours in Iraq. And needless to say, asymmetric warfare was kind of our thing.

So, in practical terms, it is a type of war between belligerents whose relative military power, strategy or tactics differ significantly. And as a result of this, the weaker opponent will use unconventional tactics in order to maximize one's strengths against a stronger opponent's weaknesses or vulnerabilities.

For instance, an Insurgent force does not have the freedom of movement or firepower necessary to attack a forward operating base or a heavily armed column. So instead, they focus on softer logistical targets. They may choose to use a remotely activated roadside bomb instead of engaging in direct fire.

In many situations, the weaker adversary has fewer personnel and resources. And so, a significant part of their strategy is to preserve those limited resources and use the munitions that they have to the greatest possible advantage.

But here's the thing. To pull this off long term, you generally need a consistent means of supply combined with enough territory to hit, run and then hide. And Hamas doesn't have these things, at least not in sufficient supply to win against the IDF.

So, what's their strategy? What can Hamas leverage that will allow them to conduct offensive operations against a much stronger opponent and then avoid getting destroyed by the IDF's vastly superior military capability?

And the answer to that question as horrific, as it is, is civilian casualties, but probably not the ones you're thinking.

To understand this, let's discuss that example 54 years ago. The Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War virtually wiped out the Viet Kong. It was by every objective measure, a complete tactical failure. But strategically, it was invaluable. Because while achieving none of its military objectives, the Tet Offensive shattered Americans' perspective on the situation on the ground.

Opponents of the war were able to effectively use the offensive as a demonstration of the futility of American involvement. Hollywood, Academia and many in the mainstream media went to work convincing the American people that the war couldn't be won. Or perhaps just shouldn't even be fought. And in a representative government, when the electorate decides that a war is lost, it is, regardless of the situation on the ground.

Now, understand something. I'm not making an argument for the pros or cons of fighting the Vietnam War. I'm merely illustrating a point about modern Asymmetric Warfare. The lesson of the Tet Offensive is when fighting the West, you don't defeat their military. You win their electorate. And the way to do that is through the institutions which shape culture in the West, namely Hollywood, the Media and Academia.

If Hamas had decided to engage in a conventional military attack directed at only legitimate military targets, the IDF would have effectively destroyed their war fighting capability within days, and Hamas knows it. So, they engaged in asymmetric strategy.

Once we understand this, their actions on October 7th, as horrific as they are, begin to make more sense. Hamas didn't just target civilians because they were easy targets or because they despise Jews, although both of those things are true. The attack and the subsequent taking of hostages was actually designed to elicit a major response from the IDF.

But why? Well, maybe it's because to achieve their strategic objectives, Hamas needs civilian casualties. And more specifically they need Palestinian civilian casualties. And this is why.

The two entities in this conflict that lose the most from a greater peace agreement in the Middle East are Iran and the terrorist organizations they support. Upsetting this process requires much more than the random launching of rockets into Israel or strikes against legitimate military targets. The IDF is more than capable of handling such incursions, and the Israeli people have become all too accustomed to weathering such attacks without demanding an overwhelming military response. something more significant was required.

And October 7th created the kind of conditions that demanded a significant and sustained response. They needed something so obscene that Israel would have no choice but to hit back hard.

And this is where the second component of Hamas' strategy plays out. How to get Palestinian casualties. Any government actually worried about civilian casualties dedicates resources to evacuating their own civilians from hostile areas and attempts to separate the civilian population from legitimate military targets. So what conclusion should we come to when a governing body decides to do the exact opposite?

In this asymmetric environment, Hamas is not only incentivized to kill Israeli civilians, they're incentivized to maximize their own civilian casualties in the short run in order to elicit Western intervention on their behalf. As easy as it might be to explain Hamas's strategy away as nothing but mindless bloodlust, it is actually more sinister than that.

Hamas is responding to the incentive structures certain elements within the West have created. Hamas understand that the real Battlefield is not in Gaza but in the streets, University halls and newsrooms of the West. And so that is their target. And while a ceasefire seems like a humanitarian response to the tragic death of civilians, leaving Hamas intact as an operational and governing body will ultimately just reinforce that the perverse incentive structure remains the same.

And that while the West may claim to "not negotiate with terrorists," they always seem to force Israel to as soon as it becomes politically inconvenient for them.

So here's the hard reality. If you actually want to achieve anything resembling a lasting peace in this part of the world, you're never going to achieve it by creating conditions where terrorists are incentivized to hurt both the civilians of their enemies, and their own in order to achieve their political objectives.

==

This, of course, was completely obvious from the moment of the al-Ahli Hospital hoax, where Western outlets worked overtime to spread Hamas propaganda without regard for truth, all the way through to the present-day "protests" which are anything but organic or grass-roots.
