Here's a bit of World War I trivia for you, did you know German Zeppelins would lower an Observation car, using a cable during bombing runs over England? With the Zeppelin safely hidden above the clouds, a "spy gondola or spy basket" would be lowered, sometimes several hundred meters (up to 3,300 feet), to a point below the cloud cover. The observer would aid with navigation and scout for targets to bomb, calling up to the Zeppelin using a field phone. They would then hoist the observation car back up and into the Zeppelin. What a ride!!

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 What was the reason Iran agreed to the ceasefire, and did Israel 'win'? I will explain it to you straight.

In the opening strike, due to a combination of widespread internal sabotage and extensive Israeli airstrikes, most of Iran's long/medium range air defenses were wiped out.

Since day 2 or 3 of the war, the Israelis have operated with almost complete freedom over Iran's skies. First in the West, then gradually expanding to the center. We saw even UAVs operating quite freely at some point, a tell tale sign that something is truly wrong. This matter of air superiority is key to understanding the missile situation.

While Iran still has tens of thousands of ballistic missiles and hundreds of launchers, that's not the issue at all. The issue is, due to total Israeli air superiority, no large-scale missile attack could be staged without receiving an immediate preemptive strike from the enemy. The moment Iran takes the launchers out of the underground base, Israel detects this, and strikes with impunity.

This forced Iran to carry out missile operations with smaller hit-and-run tactics, using older long range missiles from bases in the Center and the East, and unfortunately Iran's capability to respond in large volumes gradually declined.

In these circumstances, realistically, a war cannot be maintained. Since the first few days, real deterrence was already gone, despite some periodic strikes on 'less than relevant' targets (with the notable exception of Weizmann institute and Unit 8200 Logistics HQ). Launching 10-20 missiles daily would be a waste if it is not an instrument to a wider military objective.

Militarily speaking, Israel is the clear winner, and there is no sugarcoating this. However, politically, Israel lost. The Israelis did not achieve most of their main objectives. The Islamic Republic still stands, Iran's nuclear program still has a future, and martyred commanders have been replaced.

Israel's main achievement in this war is the near complete dismantlement of Iranian AD sites, and as a result, the successful suppression of large-scale missile fire from Iran. This forces Iran into a corner, as it was no longer able to keep up with the escalation.

The problem now is the following: Israel will use this ceasefire to re-arm itself. It will prepare for another war, more aggression, and to gradually achieve the goal they really wanted in the first place; regime change in Iran. It is also likely that they will try to implement the 'Lebanon model' in Iran — and strike targets inside Iran during the ceasefire, with relative impunity and no response.

How will Iran deal with this issue? Iran also has to rebuild its capabilities. Once again, missiles and launchers are not the issue. Iran will repair the collapsed tunnel entrances of missile bases in the West, and almost all missile bases (with the exception of Tabriz) will become operational again. But then what? The air defense network is gone, the same situation will instantly repeat itself.

Iran somehow has to find a way to guarantee that this ceasefire is not one-sided, that it rebuilds its capabilities, and that it finds a solution that guarantees its own survival and prevents any new Israeli aggression. In my opinion, the only way this can be done is rushing towards a nuclear bomb, nothing more and nothing less.

Matthew 7:2 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Brothers there are a great many things which seek to trap and destroy a man's soul. But there is one which is most dangerous and that is pride. Pride will blind a man's spiritual eyes and lead him to his eternal destruction all the while saying "I am being righteous, or I am being just" we are called to cry aloud all the day and all the night woe lord have mercy on me a sinner. When we look to our Lord Jesus the source of perfection and the new Adam we see that when he talks with the traitors of his nation (publicans) he does not revile them, when he speaks with the prostitutes he does not revile them, when he speaks with the thieves on the cross not even them does he revile. Why then brothers do we hate our fellow man all the day long? With what will we see Christ if we live our whole life blinded by sin? With what will Christ see us if we refuse to see him in everyone? God bless

TRUMP: THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE F**K THEY'RE DOING

*TRUMP: BOTH ISRAEL AND IRAN VIOLATED THE CEASEFIRE

*TRUMP: ISRAEL HAS TO CALM DOWN, I HAVE TO GET ISRAEL TO CALM DOWN

*TRUMP: I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN STOP IT

*ISRAEL TO ONLY ATTACK ONE TARGET AT THE REQUEST OF TRUMP

Oh, I almost forgot, what happened to this 'unconditional surrender'?

Might be the first funny BB article in 5 years
