Defence is the best form of defence. There’s a self-serving lie that “Attack is the best form of defence”. Switching resources from defence to attack reduces your defences. Attack may be the best way to win. It has its place. But it isn’t Defence. 1/15

@VividProwess Egypt is obligated to defend itself, its borders, or to at least try.

@eogfelton @JulienHoez Surprised? No.

@JOConnor_AK @Chrisvance123 Purest submission. Weak beyond expectations.

@DavidDuhme @TallbarFIN Supine. Worse than allied.

@eogfelton @JulienHoez Is that what you think happened? Do you think people actually expected the US to do differently? They specifically sought deployments of US troops to areas where in an invasion US troops would die, which is the only way to motivate the US citizenry. Not pieces of paper.

@WascUrito Yes. Many Palestinians are Israel's people too. It needs to behave justly with respect to all of its people. The problem is a behavioural one. Not an existence one.

@DublinTed @EamonnRyan747 @CormacMcQu31819 Coastguard ships are not pie in the sky. Do you oppose the existence of police too? Nukes are big fireworks. There are not much of a concern for me.

@JOConnor_AK @Chrisvance123 Being submissive is not the only alternative to implacable hatred.

@Sam_Schulman @Babygravy9 @Shabbosgoy 1. They actually do have the right to settle in these places and become nationals. 2. What happened after WWII to Germans was a despicable crime. 3. Palestinians were involved in a civil war, not a war of invasion. You do not get to deport/exile your own people.

@eogfelton @JulienHoez It isn't going far. The US always and only involves itself if it feels like it. Treaties do not enter into its thinking. De Gaulle was 100% on the mark.

@DublinTed @EamonnRyan747 @CormacMcQu31819 Yes. Defence, Total Defence, requires defence of the people, their health, living conditions, livelihood. As well as infrastructure, and the traditional military things. No defence plan will work if it isn't of this type.

RT @eeldenden: He called it. Sadly some "leaders" overdosed on atlanticism

@Kalibre2022 @JulienHoez On the day that the US went submissive under a weak President, this looks stupid.

RT @JulienHoez: To put it bluntly: Charles de Gaulle was right

@DublinTed @EamonnRyan747 @CormacMcQu31819 Not 400km out. 400km in length between the three cables. 100km+100km+200km
