The Guardian: “The [Israeli] move here now isn’t some large-scale ground manoeuvre but truly one to remove a threat to the communities near the border, and this is absolutely part of the defensive operation. To perceive this as a wide-scale ground manoeuvre in Lebanon or an operation of conquest or [forming] a security zone – I think it isn’t.”https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/01/the-domestic-political-objectives-behind-israels-incursion-into-lebanon

CNN: extent of incursion unclear. "An Israeli security official told reporters on condition of anonymity Tuesday morning that the operation does not amount to an invasion or incursion, describing it instead as “localized raids” that are “very limited in scope and in the area of operation.” The official said there were so far “no clashes” on the ground between the IDF and Hezbollah, but refused to comment on whether Israeli tanks have entered Lebanon and would not elaborate on how deep into Lebanese territory Israeli troops have advanced, saying they were focused on the border areas. “The amount of forces and the type of forces are more appropriate to something of a limited raid, and not, for example, things we’ve seen in Gaza with very, very large forces,” the official added. Hezbollah rejected the claim that Israeli forces had entered southern Lebanon, describing them as “lies,” according to a statement by spokesman Mohamed Afif on Tuesday." https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/01/middleeast/israel-ground-incursion-lebanon-explainer-intl-hnk/index.html

Way too early for all the Yeses to declare victory on this, the Israelis and some media are calling it a limited incursion with specific goals. Some media are using the word "invasion" but are not sufficiently backing it up. And Lebanese army and UN are saying they don't see invasion. Establish control, invasion are not met IMO

Ground operation in Lebanon would not be a “solution to the problem," former Israeli prime minister says From CNN’s Zahid Mahmood Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he does not think that an Israeli ground operation into Lebanon would be a “solution to the problem.” Olmert was prime minister when Israel invaded Lebanon in 2006. He said what is needed in the north of Israel is a joint coordination with the United States, the United Nations and the Lebanese government to move a “weakened” Hezbollah away from the Litani River in southern Lebanon. “This will not resolve all the issue(s), but it will open up for an opportunity to build up the necessary political powers and the military powers within Lebanon, which may change the balance there,” Olmert said The former prime minister also said Israel should stop its war in Gaza. He told CNN he thinks his country has “reached the objectives that we set out that we could achieve” there. “There is nothing more that is worth the cost of fighting in the south, particularly the danger to the lives of the hostages, which are still alive and which we may have brought them back in part of an agreement to ceasefire in the south,” he added.

The key condition for the market to resolve to "Yes" is that Israel must launch a military offensive with the intent to establish control over part of Lebanon. If the stated goal of the operation is a limited incursion, even if ground forces are deployed, and there is no mention of controlling or holding territory, it would not meet the criteria for the market to resolve to "Yes."

People are getting really specific with ‘establish control’. The purpose of that phrasing is to disqualify short raids into Lebanese territory. No one can describe the incoming incursion as a raid with the amount of equipment poised to move into Lebanon. Doubly, the purpose of the incursion is clearly meant to disrupt hezbollah infrastructure and operations in the south of the country, that will require a military presence that can only be described as ‘establishing control’.

I'm sticking w/my NO and even added a little. By far the riskiest play in my portfolio however: (1) Language of the Q calls for an invasion meant to establish control vs clearing out a threat (2) Diplomatic solution could still come at any time (3) Netanyahu probably doesn't want to deal with the diplomatic and military headaches of an invasion. Incursions, cross border raids etc etc are very different but they don't count for this market!

Seymour Hirsch: "I had a talk with another well-informed Israeli veteran, who was seriously wounded in an earlier war, who explained that the Israeli decision to trigger the explosives was not the planned act of war that it seemed to be. He said the embedded materials were triggered only because Mossad learned that its action had been inadvertently discovered by a few Hamas officials who had brought their pagers in for routine repairs. It was that discovery that led Netanyahu or one of his aides to authorize the attack. "

Wall Street Journal: “Hezbollah are damned if they do and damned if they don’t,” said Aram Nerguizian, a nonresident senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies with expertise in military dynamics in the Middle East. “The risk for the group is that the longer this goes on—and the longer the Israelis are able to avoid getting into a ground campaign that only benefits Hezbollah—the more rapidly the group’s credibility, monopoly on national security politics, and de facto political hegemony are degraded,” Nerguizian said.

Wapo: Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, said Tuesday that Israel is “not eager” to start a ground invasion and would prefer a diplomatic solution, something the Biden administration, its European allies and Middle Eastern leaders are pushing for. “As we speak there are important forces trying to come up with ideas, and we are open-minded for that,” Danon told reporters. While the IDF has repositioned some troops to the north in recent days, it’s unclear if they are preparing to cross the border.

Timing for Israel is far better than most people give credit for. They stopped asking US permission for things quite a while ago, and now prefer to act first and ask forgiveness later. or rather, assume the US wont do shit pre election at least. Key figures in govt like Ben Gvir will be bulling for taking more arab land, thats his whole thing, i hate the fucking cunt, but it is what it is. The stated goals of returning residents to North Israel require a buffer zone, shooting rockets into lebanon indefinitely to deter hezb isnt a real option either, gotta make a DMZ basically if they want that. And if harris wins the election, that might become a whole lot more complicated, better to take it now and mch harder for harris to make you leave then. And Hezb is at an all time low in strenght and coordination right now, this is the time to land a decisive blow that will cripple them for years. With Hamas + Hezb crippled, Irans only option will be direct conflict, which they dont want to get into.

It feels like you’re trying too hard to sound intellectual, but instead, it comes off as overly complicated without adding much substance. The use of overly formal language a doesn’t really enhance the message—if anything, it muddles it. It’s like you’re using big words to cover up for a lack of clarity or real insight. Sometimes, when people try to overcompensate with fancy language, it can actually have the opposite effect, making them sound less intelligent because the message gets lost in all the fluff.

I beg to differ. A sound mind and the TDS that accompanies it, are not indicative of talking down. Though sanity and TDS may at times correlate, that correlation does not imply causation, nor does it extend to the variable of talking down. Thus this analysis should be viewed as explicatory , and not ad hoc. Do note however that the munificence I've displayed by trying to warn you is by nature discrete; I will keep your money when the witching hour is upon us.

HAHAH polymarket has to be the greatest money redistributing scheme from MAGA to sane people. The frantic link spamming won’t help you, if you’re too iliterate to read the rules. It’s right there in the “Additional Context”. It has to be confirmed by credible sources that THE WHISTLEBLOWER HAS TO HAVE RELATION TO ABC. Magas not being able to read surprises no one though.

This may be news to the people claiming Trump won the debate, but call-in or self-selected internet polls have no statistical validity. They are not randomly selected. But keep telling yourself that if the Proud Boys think he won, the American people do as well.

The majority of people online say Trump won; it's just the leftist echo chamber and whales in betting markets manipulating the narrative. Trump objectively had better "gotcha" moments, while she was flip-flopping and appeared nervous. Hundreds of polls on X, Instagram, and even CSPAN show that Trump won overwhelmingly. There's a reason her team is desperately pushing for a second debate—they know she's losing. Don’t let the media shape the narrative; she didn’t perform well at all. There's also a reason why CNN gave Trump a win against Biden but not Kamala, because back in June, the media was in on the coup to remove Biden.

Andrew Tate's situation in August 2024 fits the definition of a **detention** rather than an arrest. While he was detained by Romanian authorities for questioning related to new allegations of human trafficking, the court placed him under house arrest rather than formally arresting him. A detention typically involves being held temporarily for investigation or questioning, whereas an arrest usually involves formal charges and being taken into custody. In this case, Tate was detained and subsequently placed under house arrest pending further investigation. - Chat GPT

New Market should start on how many extensions “Initially, the police can detain a suspect for 24 hours, and this can be extended for up to 30 days by a judge if there is sufficient evidence to justify the continuation of detention. Regarding the number of times authorities can extend detention, the Romanian Penal Procedure Code generally allows for multiple extensions, but there are limits. Specifically, the total duration of preventive detention cannot exceed 180 days.”

The question is not about the vagaries of the Romanian court system, it's about whether he was arrested. Being put in jail overnight with new potential charges being announced at the same time would meet most people's definition of arrest. Even if the Romanian court system has a different word for it.

This is not a pump by me, there is no pump in the world that can save me man. The reason I switched to no is because, among other things, I read this: DIICOT asked the Bucharest court to arrest the Tate brothers for 30 days, but the judge decided to place Andrew Tate under house arrest and Tristan under judiciary control for that period, their representative Mateea Petrescu said.

@cuccyboy Must have been watching an old debate. The Democratic Party is calling for Biden to step aside. This is not because of a “bad debate performance”. This is because people are legitimately concerned for this man’s well being. Democratic nominees have had bad debates in the past, CNN never called for them to step aside. Secondly, if you can compare this to the SOTU address and think it’s even remotely the same then you are seriously delusional. At the end of the day, Polymarket should not put up such subjective markets like this but what’s done is done and there is no question that President Biden was senile during this debate. Let’s not waste time arguing here and get UMA to decide this already.

very coherent analysis. There's a reason the rules were written the way they were.

"showing poor mental ability because of old age, especially being unable to think clearly and make decisions:" According to this definition he is senile. According to the rules of this market "persistent incoherence, confusion, inability to follow the debate format, or prolonged periods of non-responsiveness." I don't think those standards are met. There was incoherence, but not persistent as he was coherent for at least half of the debate (still a terrible performance), he wasn't really confused, just slow or very slow, he followed the debate format, and he wasn't really unresponsive for prolonged periods of time. So it's a close call but it weighs more towards "No" according to the specific rules laid out, in my opionion (I have no stake).
