Daily Signal "Traditionally, the way that political differences were settled—the aggressor versus the invaded—was by defeating the enemy through superior force. Not proportional force, not symmetrical, but asymmetrical and disproportionate force. Forcing them to either surrender or to forcibly destroy their means of opposition. And then humiliating them and subjecting them to political reform."
"What do I mean? They’re saying, “I don’t really care if Iran says they have a nuclear weapon or not. We’ll deal with that. But we are going to defeat Hamas, humiliate it, and force them either out of Gaza or to disband. And we’re gonna do that by superior force. And we do not really care what CNN shows you on your television screen.' ”
The Rank Foolishness of ‘Proportional Response’ - The American Spectator
"The principle of proportional response is like most ideas from the left. They are all good sound bites and make for snarky bumper stickers, but never work in practice. The ascendancy of proportional response under Obama made the world less safe and its practice under Biden has directly led to hundreds of thousands of deaths in Ukraine, Russia, and Israel. But never mind for the left, what matters is appearances, bad results are for others to clean up."
