Fanaticism Is Not A Good War Strategy

They worship Hitler, so you would think that the idiots like Khamenei, Ahmagonnameetallah, and the Chinless Wonder Assad would learn from the guy's mistakes.

Like, trying to fight a two-front war.

Sure, Israel is fighting a two-front war, but not against the allies, they're fighting against a bunch of Islamotards with the military acumen just one step up from your basic Mafia caporegime. Hell, I don't even know if that's accurate, it may be just one step up from a random street gang.

Syria and Iran, however, are trying to fight a two-front war against a Westernized state that is beginning to reach the level of ferocity previously shown in places like Midway, Rourke's Drift, Lepanto, and Salamis.

Everyone agrees that Hitler miscalculated by invading the Soviet Union, opening up a second front that drained men and material from the rest of the war machine.

So too it is with this war. Iran and Syria have made a grave blunder by opening up a second front in their war with Israel. Hizbutthole'a, by far stronger than Hamass, is going to be pummelled into pulp. When that's done, Hamass will be chewed up at leisure. Iran and Syria will then have to decide whether or not to blatantly involve themselves by committing their own forces.

Of course, this is a war, and the events are fluid. Making this post a pile of steaming bat guano.

But there's one thing I know for sure. Hizbutthole'a is firing Iranian and Syrian weapons.

We are reaping untold bonanzas of intelligence on Iranian and Syrian weapons systems. I'd bet my last beer we have satellites tasked, and subs deployed, and possibly even Special Forces recording every single Hezbollah volley.

Proving that fanaticism is not a good war strategy.
