Misunderstanding this fact is the greatest error of the Israelis and whiny leftists everywhere.

Had this war been fought to win decades ago, it would have been won.

A few decades ago the Israelis still had Voltron on their side. Let me explain, Voltron is a metaphor for the IDF’s aura of invincibility. The scale of invincibility is measured in mechanical robotic lions. As I am the pioneering researcher of the study of metaphorical invincibility, I get to define the scale, the scale is thus, just fucking go with it.

The method of this engagement (at night, via helicopter, bungled) and the last war in Lebanon have begun a slow erosion of the IDF’s aura of invincibility. They can ill afford any loss of this, their greatest asset, that they spent half a century building up. As I explained yesterday, they haven’t lost these actions, but winning has never been enough. The IDF has always had to make their enemies confront the futility of even trying to engage them directly. That sense of futility is at stake. I’m not sure they can still form Voltron, that’s a problem.

P.S. I still like my electromagnetic tugboat idea for blockade running interdiction. Just need to fit it with a few teeth that can slice through metal at the water-line. Controlling the narrative is one of the most important parts in any conflict strategy.
