Several months ago I began theorizing about what was happening in the Middle East. Now, the people changing the region have decided to reveal the new reality: Israel and the Arab League are allies, and Arab strategic special operators are possibly the best soldiers in human history. I came to my conclusions in a gradual…
Knowledge is power: Watch Arab special forces in action
May 12, 2016
I always tell you: Trust only me. My specialized knowledge can easily be yours. Weapons and tactics always tell the truth. Words, videos, photos, and captions can lie. Knowledge of maneuver The video below was allegedly put out by the Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki (Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement), a member of the Fatah Halab (Aleppo…
Sparing lives is the smart way to win wars
May 10, 2016
Until tonight, I believed that winning wars requires killing. I’d tempered my viewpoint somewhat, based on what I’ve seen in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq, but now I’m ready to say without any doubt that sparing lives—not taking them—is the only way to make war obsolete. I used to agree with the sentiment below. Yes, that’s…
OPSEC is what keeps soldiers alive on the battlefield
May 7, 2016
On May 3, 2016, US Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Keating IV was fatally wounded in Tal Askuf, Iraq, during a firefight with the Islamic State. Keating was a SEAL assigned to a quick-reaction force (QRF) sent in to rescue eleven Americans who were advising the Kurdish Peshmerga. It appears that the OPSEC or…
Assad has learned too late that some people are serious
May 2, 2016
Beginning in January of 2016, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) began achieving impressive victories on the battlefield. Analysts attribute this to Russian air power. They’re wrong. In reality the Arab League worked out an arrangement with Bashar al-Assad that would avoid the horrors that have plagued Iraq since March of 2003. However, Assad has reverted…
Lies, lust for power, Jew-hate, tribalism, and failure
April 30, 2016
From the great Dave Frishberg, a commentary on lies. I first heard that song twenty-five years ago and never forgot it. We are marooned in a blizzard of lies, but I can debunk a lot them. Lies about hospitals Because of Jew-hate, “human rights” groups such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, B’Tselem, and Doctors…
Unable to see one’s place in the larger scheme of things
April 29, 2016
I had a suspicion. Sadly, it was confirmed. I can’t say that I’m surprised. The evidence has indicated that too many American politicians and military leaders are unable to see the big picture and how they fit into it. Egos get in the way. Unable to be honest When I began defending Israel in 2014,…
Sorrow for what they do and what must be done to them
April 27, 2016
The last thing I ever expected was to feel sorrow for terrorists. It doesn’t change my opinion that they have to be killed, but now I find it harder to expose myself to the deaths of the incompetent ones. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest that Hamas “Nukhbah” infiltrators are being killed in their…
Jante is a word that all westerners should know
April 24, 2016
The Law of Jante (pronounced “yan-TUH”) originally applied to only the Scandinavian countries, but it’s spread like cancer. Basically the Law of Jante states that individual achievement is illegitimate because it makes the group look bad. Well, the group can go to hell. The group doesn’t pay my taxes, pay my medical bills, pay for…
Consequences of refusing to face reality
April 23, 2016
It may not seem like it to you, but pretty much everyone who needs to be smashed is being smashed. For a variety of reasons, really bad people were allowed to forget that actions have consequences. Well, it’s now clear that those who thought they could do whatever they want are paying dearly. Believe me….
