“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

So an interesting thing about the Israeli military, they empower all levels of the command chain to make decisions to complete the mission.

It leads to this interesting situations where top leader can claim complete ignorance and the mission was completed.

Look up the big brain little brain stuff.

Yeah that’s the same way the US military operates to varying degrees.

I'm interested to know what country you come from where this isn't standard? Do you find that that lack of flexibility is culturally just in the military there or present in your countries government and corporate cultures as well?

It's been well reported on that Russia doesn't work like that, with junior officers unable to use initiative and the whole system being very slow to respond to changing events. The reason it operates like this was shown when they did try having a more independent unit, which resulted in the Wagner Group mutinying.

Biden just waking up... He must be one of the only users who only reads reddit's worldnews and nothing else.

Glad the doddering old fool finally caught on. I'm sure we'll stop sending our money and arsenal to Netanyahu any day now.

Day 1234 of "We're working on a ceasefire" and mass grave #999 of "We're trying to minimize casualties"
