Mowing the grass in #Gaza

Instead, #Israel is acting in accordance with a “mowing the grass” #strategy. After a period of #military restraint, Israel is acting to severely punish #Hamas for its aggressive behavior, and degrading its military capabilities – aiming at achieving a period of quiet.
...
Those who forlornly ask “when is this going to end?” and use the cliché term “cycle of #violence” have psychological difficulties digesting the facts that there is no solution in sight and that the violent struggle against Hamas is not going to end anytime soon (not as long as the enemy’s basic ideological motivations remain intact). But still, important periods of quiet are attainable via military action, and this is what explains Israel’s current #offensive.

Israel: Winning the battle but losing the war? | AJ #shorts
What is #Hamas' #strategy and is #suicide a strategy at all?
For those who know little about the #MiddleEastConflict, Hamas' strategy seems very irrational. Sure, they have caused a lot of deaths on both sides, spread #fear and #terror, but they cannot win and now bear the #consequence of the #destruction of the #Gaza Strip.
What we have to keep in mind is that the #peace process (if it would be successful) would make Hamas obsolete. #Israel has recently moved diplomatically closer to Saudi Arabia. This does not please #Iran, which in no way wants its #enemy #SaudiArabia to be strengthened by peace with Israel. Iran, in the other hand, is Hamas's suspected main weapons supplier. Therefore, the American aircraft carrier at the coast of Israel makes sense. This is a sign to Iran, because the aircraft carrier is useless for the pacification of Gaza.
The question remains why the Israeli ground forces have not yet stepped forward and why the aircraft carrier is useless? Gaza has multiple levels of tunnels underground, and these tunnels contain command centers, weapons, and supplies. A battle in these tunnel systems would be very costly for the Israeli army. With airplanes and bombs you can bomb the Gaza Strip (which only hits the civilians) but not the tunnel system.
Which brings us back to the Hamas strategy:
1) Preventing the #peace process.
2) Spreading terror and fear in Israel.
3) Provoking the Israeli army to cause a lot of collateral damage in order to discredit it in the world press.
4) Activating sympathizers worldwide for the supposed Palestine cause.
5) Helping states like Iran and #Russia destabilize Western democracies.

The Great War: Western Front – A new and very realistic WW1 strategy game
This is hardly the first game to use history as its frame. But it’s clear that the team at developer Petroglyph Games took its setting seriously. “We wanted to create that authentic World War One experience,” says Chris Becker, The Great War’s lead designer, noting that Petroglyph worked with London’s Imperial War Museum to make their product as “plausible” as possible. This partnership can be glimpsed in the game’s canvas – and its smallest specifics. On a strategic level, players are encouraged to appreciate the attritional nature of trench warfare, each attack incrementally denting their army’s resources and national morale. Zoom in, and they’ll notice the buzzing of biplanes, and how every shell blasts soil up into the air.
The Great War: Western Front is the definitive (their claim) World War 1 strategy game from Petroglyph, the makers of Command & Conquer
Remastered & Star Wars: Empire at War. Play a deciding role in history with this real-time tactical experience as you take charge in the pivotal Western Front from 1914 to 1919.
Pick your faction and lead your forces to victory, by directing your armies in gritty real-time battles and by guiding high-level decisions in turn-based strategic gameplay. Dig detailed trenches, research new technologies such as poison gas and tanks, and make decisions that will have a profound and lasting effect on your success. Think like a Commander to either relive history – or redefine it.
As Theatre Commander, experience enthralling turn-based grand-strategy as you direct the deployment of forces, perform research and carefully consider how you disseminate your resources across the Western Front in a war won by inches. Alongside this, take up the mantle of Field Commander in dynamic real-time battles as you direct units to defeat your opponent, build trenches and perform direct assaults by sending your infantry over the top. Pick your battles and fight them your way to shape the course of history.
The video at https://youtu.be/DoZ3aKKpDvQ gives a pretty good overview of what to expect. What is clear, though, is you can play at the strategic level with some really great animations you can zoom into, but you can also play tactically by laying out trenches, defences, etc.
Although the reviews on Steam Games are mostly positive, there are some issues, especially with the AI. Some lengthy reviews give some detail on some shortcomings, so it is always worth reading through the reviews before buying. A couple of game reviews have also started appearing on YouTube, for example, this popular one at https://youtu.be/z0or9cqxp10.

Western #civilization is under attack using #migration as a #weapon. This is not the first time in #history such a #strategy has been deployed.
The likely culprit is #China / #CCP, working with #Western traitors who are likely to be mostly #IndoEuropean, #Afroasiatic & #Chinese.
The #West is unassailable by #military force, so alternative forms of #warfare have been formulated & deployed.
In my opinion #Russia isn't a primary actor, but is keen to take advantage of the situation & capitalise on Western #weakness.
Domestic #traitors are very likely among the wealthiest people, who benefit most from China, are most insulated from #migrants & feel they are above the #law. #Government employees and #politicians are highly #suspect; many are likely #puppets.

“This project fulfills the commitment made in our Army #Climate #Strategy to increase resilience while delivering clean #energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Jacobson. “When we collaborate with local utilities and #industry to promote energy resilience while powering the local grid, it is a winning solution across the board.”
The following is not irony but pure cynicism. I am glad that the U. S. will be able to wage #war in a more environmentally friendly way. An important tribute to the #future for #survival of #mankind and our #civilization on this planet.
