I'm seriously questioning your logic and equally your common sense/naivety.

That wasn't aimed at you, it would still  have gone over your head even if it was.

Righht, war has no proportionality and even the most basic GCSE level of history education should have taught you that as a minimum.

 

But, but, but Geneva convention.

Yeah, the enemy generally doesn't give a toss about your rules of engagement or ethics unless you want everyone to live by a Knights code or practice with a bow on a Sunday?.

Why should we (UK) have a ground army when we could just use our nukes?

Seriously, that's your argument!.

 

Fine, it's a deterrent and will never ever be used as that's the point of the biggest stick.

 

My dogs bigger than yours and look at the leash, because we can't ever put the nuclear genie back in the bottle.

So you agree that proportionality does have its place in warfare?

Thanks for that. Have a good day.

No you soft in the head hippy.

 

Nuclear has nothing to do with proportionality, it's a big stick that stops any others from ever using theirs, effectively making them big paperweights.

 

So, they use the same tried and tested air/land & sea warfare and forever shall.

 

You're enemy does not care about you, rules, culture or hurty feeling as dead is dead.

Or to really dumb it down.

 

You've bought a factory fresh ms500i but the factory only weld on a 100" bar making it unusable.

 

Dave the competition down the road also bought the exact same saw.

 

Both of you know they work and can test everything except cutting a tree.

 

Does that mean you don't tell everyone you've got the biggest dick but can't use it or does it just become a wall ornament ?.

 

So you both resort to using the 200 & 261 like everyone else.

Do you think the Israelis ongoing response to the Hamas attack is appropriate?

I have no skin in that particular game, but simplistically one is an elected government the other is a proscribed terrorist group.

 

Swap countries of Hamas for the Afghan Taliban, does your viewpoint change ?.

 

War is not a videogame, the first rule being there is no rules.

You seem to be equating Hamas with ordinary Palestinians.
