I am convinced that Israel has realized that it can’t survive a drawn out conflict, and will endlessly provoke literally all of it’s neighbors until things have escalated to the point that the US feels the need to properly enter the fray.
Edited: Bad wording on my part in the first one. I’m just tired - not awful
Escalation is when you patiently allow the enemy to continually ratchet up the level of violence.
The more patient you are the more escalation it is!
I can never tell what you people are even trying to say at this point. Can we just lay things out instead of trying to turn it into an epic one-liner or sarcastic quip? What are you even trying to say?
When are we ever going to be in a more serious situation than this? Can we just talk normally instead of being like “Iran is chudpilled tonight!!!” and filtering everything through ten layers of internet irony that most people moved on from after 2017?
I do well on all the autism tests when lying to get a lower score, so you’re obliged to answer or it’s a dick move.
Hezbollah are being accused of escalating the conflict even though they were not the aggressors.
Who is “you people?” You’re responding to a person from the same instance.
You people know who you are.
What @Pentacat@hexbear.net said. Israel has escalated the conflict at every step.
Iran is not very axisofresistancepilled lately, making everyone wait on their new resisting western imperialist aggression arc. Certifiably not retaliationmaxxing.
That’s a fair point
I had meant purely that I didn’t recall a Hezbollah retaliation as wide scale as this before now. Clearly they’re being intentionally provoked, and are not in any sense the aggressors here.
What do you think is a better way to say it? I will edit
Edit: I just made it super academic and it fixed it as far as I can see.
I’d say Hezbollah ‘retaliates’ or ‘strikes back’ or even just neutral ‘responds’, rather than escalates.
I think I got it
