This is perhaps the reason why yesterday Netanyahu changed the narrative from simply a secular anti-Terrorism War to a War primarily based on two factors by quoting the Book of Isaiah:
Nothing moves the imagination of human beings more than Faith, whether Abrahamic or not.
More profoundly than any ideology
More comprehensive than any secular socio-political group
Religion and Faith, although non-Abrahamic ones and without necessarily well-structured elements, are more capable of influencing the human mind more strongly than anything in this world
Obviously this would further irritate sectors of the third position, anti-immigration traditionalists and Christian Nationalists (like me) who view with suspicion and absurdity what Israel does to not only Christians in the Holy Land, but in Lebanon (where they stabbed them in the back to the only Christian force capable of keeping Lebanon standing as an independent and sovereign nation), Iraq (Netanyahu and the Israeli Government openly lobbied in favor of the invasion of Iraq, which caused the removal of millions of Assyrian Christians from its native lands) and Syria.
It's a fact and nothing more than that:
But obviously, the Zionist Groups would not do such a thing, mainly for fear that the Christians would eventually want to take Eretz Zion for themselves (as is their right for us) and mainly due to the fact that the Israeli Government itself has, as previously noted, a limit in its soft power and capacity for action outside the region
Therefore, the only chance that Israel currently has, if the Europeans and Americans, do not come to its aid in an eventual all-out war between them and the Muslims, would be to resort to groups that are regionally enemies of its enemies, in the same style of Quid Pro Quo:
Obviously, the idea that such groups would necessarily cooperate with Israel in the event of an all-out war is based on nothing less than speculative pondering and wishful thinking.
But it is still a possibility, especially considering that some of these, each according to their agendas and objectives, already do it.
Not to mention obviously the impact that a War for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa has on the Muslim imagination.
The Hadiths about the Flourishing State of Jerusalem, the Black Flags coming from Khorasan and Al-Malhama Al-Kubra are still present in the imagination of the average religious Muslim in the Middle East and Central/West Asia
Disregarding these points is ignoring a main point present in the socio-political-religious vision of billions of people, of which some millions would certainly be willing to sacrifice everything to fight in the name of such a cause and such a vision, whether you agree with it or not.
One could imagine what would happen if the Invasion of Gaza happens on the scale predicted by some here (including me) - that the invasion will be brutal, bloody and cost the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people - and the surrounding Waqfs of the Middle East declare Jihad against Israel and the West as reaction.
Certainly some groups of Muslims would certainly think, just as religious Jews believe that the Messianic Era has arrived, that:
Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.
