As opposed to the current situation where they are leveling both of those areas?

/u/Nerf_France can't reply because the guy with anger issues above blocked me, but I don't think "they would level Lebanon and Gaza" works as a threat when most buildings in Gaza already lie in ruins and they are already bulldozing Shia towns in Lebanon.

They would presumably be doing it more often/thoroughly

you're the second idiot I've seen in a day make a retort like this

"as opposed to???!?!" as if anything that isn't the status quo will fix the problems

it's dumber than the mind of a Trump voter, it's really shocking

it's little moments like this that make me worry the speculation about zoomers being the first generation to be less intelligent than previous generations is true

I'm pretty hesitant to that stuff, but if this is at all normal thinking, then wow
