I've not made an argument. I've provided the proper context that supports the original point.

You have shifted goalposts in every post. The context was the conflict in aggregate. Continue arguing with yourself. It's not compelling.

"I've not made an argument" is a fascinating claim immediately after quoting someone who used aggregate scale to call October 7th a "blip"- and agreeing with them.

Providing context in support of a conclusion is making an argument. That's what arguments are.

The goalposts that moved: "blip" (single event framing) -> "scale of the conflict" (aggregate framing) -> "I wasn't arguing anything." Three posts, three different claims, now apparently none of them count.

Noted.
