RE: A VERY dark theory about Israel...Are useful idiots helping in the final solution?
No because concentration allows cost effective Defence. There is no way the US can afford to give its population the same level of 5 layer missile defense that Israel has.
I come from Australia and served in the Army there. Large countries are much harder and more expensive to defend.

I don't think you're intentionally moving away from the point of the conversation - but you are.
Concentrated populations are easier eradicate than ones spread out thinly across all areas of the globe.
'Defense costs 'and defense capabilities are based on a war - that was never in my dark theory as a scenario.
It was about concentrating populations to make them easier eradicate.
If you wish to argue that this is not the case, then I can refer to you a dozen military and civilian situations , where this happened
( Dresden bombing -200,000k? deaths).
IF they dropped the same tonnage of bombs they used in Dresden - in the outback - I can guarantee you that there would not be the same causality rate!
Concentrated populations = more deaths.
If you’re not talking about war re concentration then what other method of killing populations are you taking about?
If you are (and your Dresden example is obviously war) then modern guided weapons make it just as easy to kill everyone in 100 isolated villages as the same people concentrated in a city.
But modern defensive systems can defend the city cost effectively but not the 100 isolated villages.
Equally a large country’s infrastructure is much more expensive and harder to protect. This is why the Israeli electricity grid is protected against EMP attack but US is not!
Civilian casualties in concentrated areas are higher than in spread out ares..
I never mentioned the military once....
...if you disagree with that theory fine.
..but I find it difficult to imagine that you can give me any example to the contrary of that theory - where sparse population zones will receive more casualties than densely populated zones..
See what I mean?
...this post has nothing to do with military deployment.
Casualties from what? I’m not understanding how there are any casualties without war.
In Australia at least motor vehicle casualties are much higher in rural areas that the cities.

Suicide rates too. Much higher in isolated areas.

....why are you diverting away from the point of my post?
I’m not diverting at all. You say the “how” doesn’t matter, but it does!
You make a fundamental incorrect assumption that concentration increases casualties.
It might seem reasonable on first blush, but on detailed examination of possible “hows” it proves the opposite.
The dangers of concentration is the lynchpin of your argument. If it’s wrong, everything else falls apart.

no in the slightest - biological warfare work better- where there are people.
Nuclear explosion kill more people -where there are people
Regular bombing kill more people -where there are people.
Are you missing something?
Health outcomes and fatalities are also much worse in low density rural area.

Biological warfare. (for example?)
You are delineating 'war' into something.
Something that was never brought up - except to say that the how is irrelevant.
As I said originally in my post - the how doesn't matter..
I was talking about a theory ( using logic and historical facts) to build a theory...
I don't think you are trying to move away from the point of the post - but if you are, why?
Lets keep it on topic, eh?
(you need to study some history then, matey!)
No war in communist Russia after the civil war - but how many million casualties there (40 million).
You don't need a 'war' to have casualties.
