1 Back in 2021, Israel called one of its operations in Gaza the world's first "AI war," in which a significant portion of airstrikes were targeted using algorithmic systems.

The CARVER matrix was developed by the United States Army Special Forces during the Vietnam War. CARVER is an acronym that stands for Criticality, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect and Recognizability and is a system to identify and rank specific targets so that attack resources can be efficiently used. CARVER was developed in World War II by the OSS for the French field agents as a simple, uniformly and somewhat quantifiable means of selecting targets for possible interdiction.

2 From a WIKI history of Carpet Bombing

During the Gaza war that began in October 2023, the scale of Israeli airstrikes drew increasing international scrutiny.

By October 2024, Israel said it bombed 40,000 locations in the Gaza Strip (which is 360 km2). By one estimate, the bomb tonnage dropped on Gaza is more than 70,000 tonnes, which academic Robert Pape noted surpassed the combined bomb tonnage dropped on Dresden, Hamburg, and London in World War II. He also stated that "Gaza will also go down as a place name denoting one of history's heaviest conventional bombing campaigns." Satellite imagery showed at least 69% of all buildings were damaged or destroyed, which surpasses the scale of destruction in Cologne and Dresden and approaches that of Hamburg during World War II.

5 It's important to understand that these people are behind the current political configuration in the US, including the circles of Trump and J.D. Vance, and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

You could have fooled me. I thought the military/industrial complex hated Trump especially since he's doing everything in his power to stop the wars in Ukraine and Gaza thereby posing a threat to their profits. I must confess, I didn't read very far after that statement.
