One of the techniques employed by the transnational groups against standing countries is the fostering of the notion of "measured response". This means that a country's military should not overwhelm its rival in any situation but rather only deploy enough resources to make the fight "fair".
I don't really care about your politics as it comes to Isreal or the US or the Middle East or Saudi Arabia or Taiwan or Tibet or anything else.
My point here is that governments that give in to media pressure or NGO pressure concerning "measured response" or "soft power" end up killing their own military personnel. And I think this is wrong.

ReplyDeleteI think overall the concept of measured response is a good one and aligns with Biblical principles of justice and the Old Testament concept of "An Eye for an Eye".
ReplyDeleteThat being said in the particular example of Israel I believe it was a measured response and people are up in arms unfairly and are applying a double standard. If this had happened to China they likely would have sunk the boats out right after have given a warning.
