I’ve often observed that government officials no longer seem able to grasp the concept of wars or winning them. But here’s a State Department official being quoted by CNN to whom the whole thing is an entirely alien concept.
The US believes Israel has significantly weakened Hezbollah in strikes over the last week but is still working feverishly behind the scenes to try to convince it not to escalate further and launch a ground incursion into Lebanon over concerns the intensified fighting could spark a broader conflict engulfing the wider Middle East, officials told CNN.
“I can’t recall, at least in recent memory, a period in which an escalation or intensification led to a fundamental de-escalation and led to profound stabilization of the situation,” the State Department official told reporters Monday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
No one at the State Department can also recall the last time we won a war.
Winning a war deescalates a conflict. We don’t do that anymore and so we have endless generational wars instead.
Rather than understanding wars, officials talk in terms of ‘escalation’ or ‘deescalation’ which is the same lunatic philosophy that led to Oct 7 on the theory that some state of low-level conflict could forever be sustained as long as both sides were being monitored and persuaded to deescalate the conflict as if the thing at issue here were a simmering rivalry between 5th graders and not a zero-sum conflict with Islamic terrorists.
Rather than deescalating a war so that the terrorists can attack again, Israel is trying to win a war.
Some of our officials might want to consider cracking open a history book to learn more about the concept.
Could this bureaucratic mode of thinking be a previously unrecognized form of insanity?
It’s definitely a form of insanity, I see it over and over reading the history of wars and how politicians and government officials mangled things and sometimes ruined their countries.
Theres a book called “Oslo Syndrome” sort of a national and international Stockholm syndrome. So, yes it is a mental illness. Also stupidity.
This story is right on. Why would the rest of the world’s governments permit terrorism, from anyone ,,towards anyone else
Something un natural is afoot! The us isn’t helping.
The goal is not to win. The goal is to keep the conflict, and the money, flowing.
This is a manifestation of the bureaucratic system. Escalation has been the go to explanation for a generation. It answers all situations and requires no independent thought which is beyond the abilities of the “intellectuals” at State. Deviating from the current holy theories also inhibits promotions. The Domino Theory ran things for decades and the old employees that used it are finally retiring. It will be amusing to see the new theory rolled out.
Daniel, might you need some “deconfliction” therapy? I’ve always loved that bit of bureauspeak.
Palestinians slaughter Jews, celebrate their slaughter, and promise more attacks until all 7 million Jews in Israel are dead.
The United States and the rest of the Politically Correct World says Israel should react with “restraint.”
The Jews defend themselves.
The United States and the rest of the Politically Correct World says the Jews are “escalating” the situation.
Only Jews are accused of “escalation” when they refuse to die.
As I have said genocide is what they call Jews fighting back after a deadly attack in an existential war for existence. Justified is what they consider a call to kill all the Jews (as in genocide) but if Jews are the target, the context is that it is fine to kill Jews.
This is dependent on the old school idea that Jews cannot or will not fight back. OK but
make sure your beepers, phones, and all your devices are not feeling warmer and warmer and warmer.
So much of what passes for human knowledge is just phrases plucked from a collection of standard narratives.
Like: “I can’t make it.” answered by “They will be so disappointed.”
That’s just a standard narrative “They will be so disappointed.” In reality, who knows what their real reaction and feeling will be?
Some standard phrases plucked from the article:
“significantly weakened”
“working feverishly behind the scenes”
“not to escalate further”
“launch a ground incursion”
“spark a broader conflict”
Well you get the idea. The whole MSM spiel is just a mishmash of meaningless standard narrative phrases.
Have to use your intellectual powers of discrimination at every point to avoid being taken in by these meaningless standard narrative phrases cluttering up your head.
The outrage is how the world of nations at the UN is saber rattling against Israel and Jewish people globally. The global antisemitism has been seething in non-Jews and self loathing Jews, well forever it would seem.
One cannot call themself a Christian and be a vehement antisemite.
Because of the diaspora, Jews have lost our identity and become self loathing Jews and vote for the wrong people.
What would be the UN’s position and rhetoric if the tiny nation of Taiwan had to defend itself from China?
Israel was formed after the demonic nazzi holocaust – NEVER AGAIN means just that. Israel is a friendly neighbor nation willing to help all nations. Live in peace and cooperation. That’s not good enough for religious zealots like the radical myzzlymz, Israel has no choice now to destroy jihad against it once and for all. Fuck the UN and antisemitism.
Israel is YHVH’s nation followed by USA. All YHVH asks is we turn to HIM in worship, praise and love and HE will give us our needs. This ain’t philosophy but reality. Science if you think along those terms.
YHVH will destroy those who seek to destroy Israel and HIS people!
How anyone can believe they are Christian but hate the Jews will be met when Yeshua Messiah says: “Get away from ME, I have never known you.”
To not focus and aid Israel on victory since October 7, 2023 is allowing this bloody death jihad into your own nation, homes, and lives.
So this globalist stooge puppet faux state department people suck and put us all in peril!!!
In Yeshua’s Mighty and Precious Name!
Not that many are self loathing, dear. Less and less these days. Please stop that caricature.
It is outdated and a form of anti semitism.
You have mo idea what is in my heart, apparently.
Stand back.
Nowhere did I see Spongemogg refer to you, he was relating facts, All the “jews” in the Democratic Party are self hating. I think Pamela Geller made up a word to describe them: jewicidals. Shiff and Schumer are the leaders, now there is creep Josh Shapiro and second in command of WEF Yuval Hariri who is no different to any Nazi high command. They are the erev rav and don’t speak for any decent normal person. עם ישראל חי
Someone needs to remind this Pinhead about something called the American Revolution over 200 Years ago
“I can’t recall, at least in recent memory, a period in which an escalation or intensification led to a fundamental de-escalation and led to profound stabilization of the situation,”
World War II comes to mind.
The evil must be defeated and destroyed for stability to return.
To quote Russel Band, “Useless unwinnable forever wars!”
Wars are unwinnable or “forever” only if one does not have the capacity or the will to win.
