For the first time, we can make a side-by-side comparison between weapons that kill and those that destroy only military objects. I’ve theorized that the Arab League uses new munitions. However, now I can erase all doubt. By the end of this post, you’ll agree with me that the Arab League has pioneered a new…
Hidebound is another word that everyone should know
July 3, 2016
The reason that I’m a hermit is that most people are far too repulsive and belligerent for me to allow in my life. This is especially true in my main field of interest. Military buffs tend to be aggressively ignorant and hidebound. Because I don’t think like them, they’ve begun the fifth large-scale round of…
Amateurs are never as good as the professionals
June 4, 2016
For a long time, I didn’t watch videos from the Syrian civil war. Even though I know a lot about military issues, I hate to see suffering. The Syrian civil war seemed to be nothing but untrained fanatics slaughtering everyone they could. But one day I saw a video that seemed to show a new…
Times when it has indeed filled the sun
March 15, 2016
When I started publicly defending Israel in June of 2014, I became the object of the most depraved hate I’d ever encountered. I thought Jew-haters were the bottom of the barrel, but I was wrong. Times were not tough at all back then. In the past few weeks, I’ve been called a racist, a member…
Explosive force can be directed and used to defeat bombs
March 7, 2016
The videos coming out of Syria show new weapons. Through battle-damage assessment (BDA), I can determine what a munition is doing. Then I go looking for patents. First I found a patent for ordnance that combines fuel-air explosive (FAE) with a warhead that creates nonnuclear electromagnetic pulses (EMPs). Now I’ve located the patent for directing…
Russia is learning that some people don’t scare easily
February 26, 2016
When Russia decided to intervene on behalf of Bashar al-Assad, those who don’t know anything about military matters thought that they were seeing a level of competence that nobody else had shown in the conflict. They were wrong. My experience with Russians had prepared me for what inevitably happened. One of the best films ever…
No, it’s not speculation
September 1, 2014
Today an Israeli guy on Twitter said he doesn’t read my Pallywood posts because they’re just speculation presented as fact checking. Both points are incorrect. First of all, I’m not a fact checker. I’m a blogger and failed author. The notion of presenting myself as a fact checker cracks me up. Coverage of Israel is…
