I don't think it's true at all and there's famous books showing what a disaster it was right from the beginning. There was also a lot of lies/cognitive dissonance coming out of the early soviet union. Lots of folks in the West were duped into thinking it was working. A great book on the subject is "The Anti-Communist Manifestos" by John Fleming. It details the writings of 4 contemporaries of the time. |

The real purpose is to minimize the debris in the roadways for the ground invasion. If they dropped the buildings haphazardly they would end up making it really difficult to bring in armor to support their infantry. Also by blowing out the buildings foundation they are collapsing any tunnel entrance in the building. |

I don’t see how any of this will stop without the cleansing of not just Gaza but the West Bank, Golan Heights, Hezbollah territory of Lebanon, and Syria then heavily militarized the Egypt border when doing it. Iran cannot project power into the area if their friends are occupied. Israel should invade and kill every suspect terrorist and every leader of every country and area. The pull back and say they will do it again if needed. |
