They chose to raise an army and surprise they lost.

Significantly worse than this. They raised an army and stole $11b or more dollars of potential military funding. They invested $0 in defensive technologies for their citizens like bomb shelters. They started a war against one of the best equipped and trained militaries in the world and then didn't defend themselves at all.

Yes, this poll, even if the pollster doesn't want it to show this, largely shows that Palestinians want war and violence.

People forget that California is massive. It has more R voters than most red states. It just has more D voters in the aggregate.

You can't tell the side you're negotiating with to give you what you want and offer nothing

Several deals have offered pullouts back to the '67 borders contingent upon return of the hostages. We (the US) strong-armed Israel into offering these deals. They've been categorically rejected.

Hamas has demanded the right to keep hostages indefinitely a.k.a. slavery. If one side is demanding the right to own slaves, maybe they're the bad side.

Florida used to be a legitimate swing state just a couple elections ago. If Georgia can have a Blue election Florida most certainly can.

Is this the same HQ that had a Hamas HQ in it?

I wish this wasn't just evaluating the chance of insider threats, but the chance of compromise in general too.

My dude, but essentially that’s whats already happening.

Yes but it's happening with Natural Gas as the baseline power generation method. Which is much better than oil or coal for carbon emissions, but it's not green.

I'm sure that now that she's the front runner (and presumptive nominee) we'll get some better polling coming out soon.

How long do you think they (the Houthis) can keep it up?

Fossil fuels have to be eliminated by 2050. Why wage war for something we won't even need in 25 years.

I don't think that fossil fuel usage will be eliminated in 25 years given the opposition to mass nuclear deployment. I think this would ideally be a carrot that dictates green energy buildouts in exchange for subsidized oil.
