A spot on sentence: The Taliban’s victory after 20 years of war with America, along with other conflicts such as the triumph of the Houthis in Yemen and the more recent Hamas offensive against Israel, are part of a broader trend: revolutionary developments in tactics and inexpensive weaponry have allowed previously weak fighters to become near-peer adversaries when facing technologically superior, but weaker willed, armies. From Eric Striker at unz.com:
On October 7th, a group of “savages” from Gaza launched a brigade sized, combined arms offensive into Israel spearheaded by elite light infantry backed with drones, amphibious landings, cyberattacks, and a massive 3 to 5,000 strong rocket barrage launched in a time span of 20 minutes that obliterated the “Invincible Army’s” local command structures, overwhelmed its Iron Dome defense system, and dealt enormous casualties to Israeli soldiers and settler militias in their own bases.
This was not a “terrorist attack” featuring lone wolves committing suicide bombings on public buses or shooting random civilians with zipguns. What we saw on Saturday was a planned incursion by a professional military that used the element of strategic surprise to grab the Zionist beast by its belt buckle and repeatedly stabbed it in its heart. The people of Gaza have watched the brutality with which Israeli settlements have advanced in the largely demilitarized West Bank, where the IDF was busy killing unarmed natives as the Hamas offensive unfolded, and decided that they had to use whatever means necessary to force a conversation about their right to exist.
13 days later, the world is on the brink of a global conflict, largely thanks to the master-slave relationship world Jewry has with the nations of the G7 — the principle offenders being the United States, Britain, France and Germany — who are now providing diplomatic and military support for widely disseminated (by the Israeli government itself!) and indefensible atrocities that would’ve been viscerally offensive to every army in history save perhaps Ghenghis Khan’s Mongols.
