The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Ever since the Six-Day War, Israel has diddled and vacillated and tried to please the elites in the West (primarily America) while simultaneously trying to protect its citizens from the existential threat of Islam.

Land for peace...political autonomy...hundreds of thousands of jobs for the West Bank and Gaza Arabs within Israel itself...carefully titrated responses to the never-ending terrorist attacks against its citizens.

Nothing worked. What did Israel get? Hezbollah to the North, Hamas to the South, with the even more kleptocratic but equally homicidal Palestinian Authority to the East. Thousands of Israelis have died, and the threat of both home-made and Iranian supplied missiles has never been greater. And all of this culminated in the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. October 7th should have been the catalyst for a radical departure from the status quo, but because of pressure from the Iran-loving American administration and Israel's fear of Western media disapprobation, The military response has been drawn out and muted. Yes, tunnels have been destroyed, rockets have been destroyed, thousands of Hamas terrorists have been killed...but the war has been going on for more than 11 months! Israel's goals have been muddied by the intense pressure from both the West and its own fifth column of ardent leftists.

But the magnificent operation of last week has handed Israel a tremendous opportunity to snatch back the initiative, and return to the Israel of old...lightning strikes on its enemies, daring and unconventional operations, and finally taking the fight to its real enemies.

Retired colonel Kobi Marom urges Israel to target Nasrallah in IDF ground maneuver

During the interview, Marom stated, "This week has been the hardest in the organization's history, following severe damage to its command structure. Therefore, the question is: where is Israel headed? Do Israel's initiative, attack, and significant damage lead Iran and Hezbollah to reach an arrangement? I say no."

Marom then explained that unless the IDF destroys Hezbollah’s power centers in Beirut and Baalbek, “Hezbollah will not sit down for negotiations, what Israel is trying to do is escalate attacks, and doing more of the same is a mistake. There is a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity here; it’s time for brave decisions.”


Exactly. Israel does not have the luxury of time. A war of attrition favors the terrorists, who are content to conduct low-level attacks from all sides until the Israeli body politic is exhausted and ready for the existentially awful "Two State Solution."

Take the gloves off. Let the military planners do their work without political considerations that ALWAYS temper their plans.

And then conduct fast unrestricted war against Hezbollah and the remnants of Hamas. Make them shiver with fear, unsure when the next Israeli operation will come, but knowing that it will be fierce and from an unexpected direction.

That is how Israel can win its war.

JUST IN: Donald Trump points at the tractors behind him, tells John Deere that if they move their business to Mexico he is going to put a 200% tariff on them.

🔥🔥🔥

The comments came while Trump was speaking to farmers in Pennsylvania.

"I will tell you that I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors, I know a lot about John Deere."

"I love the company, but as you know, they announced a few days ago that they're gonna move a lot of their manufacturing business to Mexico."

"I'm just notifying John Deere right now. If you do that, we're putting a 200% tariff on everything that you wanna sell into the United States so that if I win, John Deere is gonna be paying 200%."

52 Great summary, CBD. The most frustrating part for those of us who support Israel and watch their efforts is that the war could have been over by February if they would have kept up the operational tempo with which they went into Gaza City and the Shifa Hospital area. But having done that, they vastly slowed down their operations and sent many of the reserves home at the time. Inexplicable to me.

Also, it was a huge strategic blunder not to take the Philadelphia Corridor in the opening weeks of the war. Netanyahu issued some statement about a month claiming there was a reason they had to wait (because of the criticism on this point) but it wasn’t true. I have supported Bibi as much as anyone in this, and he’s better than any other Israeli politician today - but he still tells plenty of bald faced, ass covering lies, and this was one of them.

65 “Free Trade” they told us, would make the US prosperous.

After saddling both large and small business with an unending supply of regulations and permitting processes designed to exclude competition, tens of thousands of factories shuttered their doors permanently, and hundreds of thousands of jobs gone. Those are gone permanently too, if the guys like Obie have anything to say about it. “Those jobs aren’t coming back”.

Outsource the corporations. Insource cheap de facto slave labor. This is what “Free Trade” has wrought.

A negative balance of trade. Since 1974. Stagnant wages, since 1974. Trillion dollar government borrowing and spending. No budget since 2009!

Think it's worse than that, after witnessing the protest/PR war waged in Western countries since the day after the Oct 7 attack.

69 40,000+ dead on one side. 339 on the other bothers me. I don't hate Israel, but this feels very wrong to me.

"War is hell" seems flippant and dismissive. It's probably what the Hamas terrorists were thinking when they attacked Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.

stop with the WWII comparisons. Nazi Germany posed an existential threat to most of Europe. Hamas are terrorist assholes, but don't pose an existential threat to Israel. The war has been going on for over half a century. Let's find a way to end this.

This whole area surrounding Israel poses an existential threat: they are sworn to the destruction of Israel and the Jews.

the Israeli government's actions have now made that more likely. Keep in mind many in Israel's government would like to see the Palestinians gone and for whom "from the river to the sea" means an Israeli state dominating that area.

Regardless of your perspective, this continuing conflict has damaged Israel's reputation on the international stage. The Israeli protesters in the streets agree.

A year later I'd think most of the international outrage would have subsided. Sure, Iran and the US would be pissed off to no end... but they are pissed off to no end now. However I wonder if Hezbollah would be so brazen knowing they'd be smoked glass if they got all uppity.

the Israeli government's actions have now made that more likely. Keep in mind many in Israel's government would like to see the Palestinians gone and for whom "from the river to the sea" means an Israeli state dominating that area.

Regardless of your perspective, this continuing conflict has damaged Israel's reputation on the international stage. The Israeli protesters in the streets agree.

79 Hezballah certainly controls several large neighborhoods in Beirut, but their stronghold and most of their military installations are south of the Litani River, which is approx the southern 40 km of Lebanon.

Lebanon is hard for us to get a handle on because it isn’t a real country anymore; it’s more like a collection of several mini-states, of which Hezballah is by far the most powerful. (Which is why the others can’t move against them). But there’s no need or purpose for Israel to attack Druze or Maronite areas, or neighborhoods. They aren’t part of this war.

The fiery barrage of insults included “dumb fat b*tch” directed at Julianna, and “out of touch fag*ots” began when the young staffers presented Carville with some social media videos they’ve been working on to appeal to White male voters. Carville was not impressed by any of them, saying they lacked substance.

Despite the horrors inflicted on their grandparents and great grandparents by the European Nazis, the Israeli Ashkenazis themselves have succumbed to a blood lust and now are killing Palestinians indiscriminately.

The Israeli state is illegitimate, and must be dismantled and replaced by a Palestinian state. The Ashkenazi Jews will have to return to their European homelands, just as the other European colonists left South Africa, Kenya, etc.

This is absolutely not true. The federal government has ~2.8 million civilian employees. These can be dropped from B-52s. If the average Education employee were to fall on your head it would likely kill you. Also, several of them are authorized to carry weapons. Also, using them as weapons would reduce future federal pension costs.

139 133 This is why I agree with Harris' focus on first and foremost stopping the violence that both sides are engaged in. Harris is calling for (and, as V.P., working toward) a hostage release and ceasefire agreement as an immediate top priority, with an equally fair and secure 2-state solution as a longer term goal.

146 The fiery barrage of insults included “dumb fat b*tch” directed at Julianna, and “out of touch fag*ots” began when the young staffers presented Carville with some social media videos they’ve been working on to appeal to White male voters. Carville was not impressed by any of them, saying they lacked substance.
When a visibly shaken gay male staffer told Carville he needed to apologize for using the F word, Carville told him to take his camo hat and shove it up his ass before leaving the call.

I'm going to defend Jason Calacanis (said a-hole) on this one. Yes, what he said was flat-out wrong. His blind spots, as it is, are J6 (which he thinks was an insurrection) and abortion. Because of this, he's not on the Trump Train just yet, like Sacks and Chamath are. He is a garden-variety liberal, but he's also a successful businessman, albeit not quite at the level of the other All In hosts. He knows that Trump's policies are superior to Kamala. He knows that Biden has been absolutely terrible for the tech industry. He knows that the gov't COVID response was an absolute disaster for the country, and he's close to saying that it was an op.

There is mandatory severance pay for any and all terms, despite for cause supposedly being exempt. Courts always find against the company.

215 Don’t count on the UN for anything. People forget the entire mission objective for UNIFIL has been essentially to prevent the militarization of the Blue Line with Israel in Southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has, at will, not only used that line as their battlefield for launching attacks at Israel, but has stockpiled the zone with weapons and sophisticated Iranian missiles aimed at Israeli territory. The current command of UNIFIL is headed by a Spanish Army LTG whose big accomplishment is being a staff officer for EUROFOR training. The rest of that command is filled with other useless clown car bureaucrats who have done zero to ensure their mission is accomplished.

Big difference in Lebanon is that the facilities are above ground. It is much easier to do pin point bombing without destroying surrounding civilian infrastructure.

My take is that it will be easier to destroy Hezbollah than underground and better supplied and embedded Hamas.

What needs to happen is for the government to get out of the equation altogether. You can strike, they can fire you... that's the gamble you make. When the government started guaranteeing union jobs no matter what, it ensured that unions would overstep the mark.

The nature of gov't is that it sets the tone for business - that can't be helped. Good property rights policy + good bankruptcy policy = great environment for risk-taking and high-trust contracts, for instance. Trump himself has said that even though tariffs can be inflationary, it's not as binary as that. In an environment that other world governments impose tariffs and restrict free-market activity, US Tariffs can be a great negotiating tool to even the odds. Applied strategically, it doesn't have to be fascistic.

263 236 What needs to happen is for the government to get out of the equation altogether. You can strike, they can fire you... that's the gamble you make. When the government started guaranteeing union jobs no matter what, it ensured that unions would overstep the mark.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Y’all. Come on. You can strike when your contract expires, or I can lock your tails out. We can bargain in good faith. We can do lots of interim things. If we get to impasse, which is a legal unicorn, but happens, I can replace you.* Meanwhile, I can have temp contingent workers in for as long as I need while you sort it out on the picket line. As I have told some big union leaders, I have all the time in the world. I am still getting paid.

Which is why one USW international president made a YouTube video wishing to send me to the moon. True story. My word as a Biden. Actually, it is true.

*the one time this happened, the union decerted. The employees figured out quickly how much a union does not help them.

Everyone needs to admit that Islam is not compatible with a democratic form of government.

285 Total War as advocated by Sherman.

Utterly destroy the enemy's will to make war. That was the purpose of Sherman's devastating March to the Sea, after the civil war outcome was already decided.

Rome learned its lesson after letting Carthage off the hook in their first two wars. After the third time, the Romans guaranteed there would not be a fourth war. Enter the eventual Pax Romana.

Would the Japanese ever have surrendered without Hiroshima and Nagasaki ??

An enemy is only defeated when the enemy declares himself defeated.

Israel needs to ignore all outside pressure and close the deal on Hamas, the PLO, and Hezbollah if they ever want a secure and lasting peace. They've tried everything else and Oct 7th was the result.

But the point is that if they make a crappy product, eventually Americans will stop buying it. I'm not saying I wouldn't prefer that Americans make those things, I'm saying unions are disconnected from the market. The American auto industry is a case in point. The "imports" all build in the south, with a weak union history, and they're doing much better than the traditional "big three", who still use union labor.

The situation with steel mostly has to do with Chinese supply(which is flooding the global market due to the collapse of their real estate market). Chinese steel production has heavy government involvement.

US also makes plenty of cars, just under foreign brands.

In general factories are inordinately expensive in the US(relative to Europe or other forms of real estate in the US) due to regulation.

Depends on the type of regulation. Regulation is lower in some European states in general.
