[@masoodvoon8999]

The failure in many wars such as Afghanistan is that countries can pay terrorists or mercenaries to do their dirty work for them without really falling under the UN's purview of relegating conflict between two nations (interstate vs. intrastate). Their is no official way to bring such "criminals" to justice w/out violating another nation's borders, etc. Iraq was a less clear case for many reasons. Before the war started US servicemembers - pilots - were being shot at by Iraq while enforcing a UN no fly zone that was put up to protect the Shiite and Kurd population centers from being gassed and shot at from the air (part of continuing non-comliance by Hussein to follow the peace treaty after the first Gulf War). The sanctions that were in place for oil companies were lucrative targets that the Germans and French wanted, and so those nations were pressuring the UN to end the embargo. It could have been those reasons or more that weighed into decision making much more than weapons of mass destruction.

[@CptCudlScoops]

@@arksin11 Im not pro Russia, but saying that Russia is rolling out T-54 tanks as a bad thing is kind of laughable. They are rolling out everything that they have, as anyone would, because any tank/armored vehicle/etc... is better than none. If you had a solely infantry element in an area, thats a threat but not a huge threat. As soon as you add an armored vehicle, tank of any era, that it is a huge force multiplier if used correctly. What I'm trying to say is that if used correctly, the T-54 is a massive force multiplier and will be a big threat for the enemy. Same goes for the "improvised" vehicles on both sides, they should not be underestimated.

Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding). Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose. In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God. Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok. God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊😊
