Strategic Incoherence and Legal Illegitimacy: The Case Against Targeting Civilian Infrastructure After Military NeutralizationThe hypothetical scenario in which a nation’s missile launch systems, navy, and air force have been completely obliterated within a three-week period represents a state of total military neutralization. In such a context, the subsequent or simultaneous destruction of civilian infrastructure—including universities, bridges, power plants, hospitals, and water desalination plants—fails to meet the criteria of military necessity and constitutes a profound strategic and ethical incoherence. This analysis examines the legal, strategic, and humanitarian reasons why such actions are widely regarded as illegitimate and counterproductive.The Legal Framework of Distinction and Military NecessityInternational Humanitarian Law (IHL), primarily codified in the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, is built upon the foundational principle of distinction. This principle requires parties to a conflict to distinguish at all times between civilian objects and military objectives. Attacks may only be directed against military objectives, which are defined as objects that, by their nature, location, purpose, or use, make an effective contribution to military action and whose destruction offers a definite military advantage.

@jhemingstam @michaeldweiss @grok Well there’s around 340 million people in the US so it’s less than a dollar per person. Don’t they teach math in your country?

@michaeldweiss @grok, assuming this rescue op cost the US $300M, how much is that per US citizen? Would you wager that the average American think their contribution to save the downed officer was well spent money?

Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2

@plamen_neykov @RealMihaiTudor @JimFergusonUK Texas had a very unusual major winter ice storm that was the cause of the blackouts. Wind and solar would have done nothing to help. You have no idea what winter is on your Islamic island

🚨 THIS IS HOW SUPPLY CHAINS COLLAPSE Australia right now: Truckers stranded. Fuel stations EMPTY. No diesel… anywhere. “I’ve driven 500km… not a drop left.” And now? Lines of trucks… just waiting. No fuel = no deliveries No deliveries = empty shelves This doesn’t stay in Australia. It spreads. Watch closely — because once this starts, it moves fast.

Not sure people are grasping this. Israel and the US were too chicken to send warships through the Strait of Hormuz so they begged Europe, expecting our warships to be bombed instead of theirs. They wanted our sailors to die on their behalf in the war they fucking started.

🚨 BREAKING: ALL NINE members of an Antifa cell in TX have just been found GUILTY of TERRORISM charges brought by the DOJ, per @MrAndyNgo This is HUGE, as it's the first terrorism trial against Antifa members in US history! A precedent has been SET 🔥 The terrorists AMBUSHED ICE agents at their detention center in Alvarado, TX, shooting one of them in the neck, back in July 2025. Pure TERRORISM. And the FBI, DOJ, and a federal jury of 12 all agreed. "First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas," @FBIDirectorKash said after their arrests Jurors found the defendants guilty of providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy to use/carry explosives, and using/carrying explosives. Many of them will now rot in prison. MUCH deserved. We need MORE of this! Well done, @AGPamBondi 👏🏻

With the mass martyrdom of innocent girls from Minab in a school at the hands of American-Israeli criminals,the theory of ‘peace through strength’ has been stained with blood. Mr. Trump! Is this the anthem you composed for freedom in Iran? God exposes deceivers by their own hands

I am 100% against Trump launching a war of regime change without UN Security Council support, congressional support, or allied support. I am also 100% in favor of democratic change in Iran. Now that "Operation Epic Fury" has been launched, I hope it leads to democratic change in Iran. I fear it will not.

Unpopular opinion for a Conservative... I have a Ram 1500 Rebel with autostop. The engine has a mild hybrid component that picks up at the autostop, making it completely seamless with no lag. I kind of like it.

He lit our vaccine system on fire and is “pivoting away” to Mike Tyson and face tattoos to try to mitigate the political damage he has done. It’s too late. Over 900 measles cases here in South Carolina. Including kids with ENCEPHALITIS. He is a dangerous fool. As is every single person who voted to confirm him.
Sheryl Gay Stolberg@SherylNYT

RFK Jr. is pivoting away from vaccines and toward healthy eating in advance of the mid-terms, per a person familiar with his strategy. "Eat Real Food" is a winning message. Vaccine skepticism is not. Mike Tyson is on board. nytimes.com/2026/02/11/us/…

Brooke Rollins was on Fox News talking about how the school lunch system needs to fundamentally change to go back to serving whole healthy foods. What an excellent idea. It was excellent when Michelle Obama had it and republicans ripped it apart while denying children vouchers.
