    “They have backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.”

    Netanyahu’s not in the best position to accuse others of genocidal rhetoric backed up with powerful weaponry.

    Trump started all this shit when he ruined the last nuclear deal in his first term.

    He sure is great at fucking everything up, and sowing chaos.

    The Zionist regime is a rogue state. It threatens the security of mankind.

    Here are the global knock-on effects of Trumpism. The world has been afraid of this for years. And mind you, it’s not because the USA is losing its grip, its role of world police. It’s because of fucked-up diplomacy dominated by egomania, backing the wrong allies in the wrong way. And being so dumb that you’re easily exploitable.

    I’m sorry for once again seeing every conflict through USian eyes - Americans do that well enough by themselves - but in this case it’s just true. Fuck Trump, Fuck Netanyahu. Let’s hope this nightmare ends soon.


    From the article:

    A U.S. official told CNN that the United States had no involvement or assistance in the Israeli strikes

    Um, sure. No involvement at all during the last 8 decades.

    And Netanyahu:

    “This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s very survival. 80 years ago the Jewish people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear holocaust, perpetrated by the Iranian regime.”

    ‌ Of course they stick to that one however nonsensical it has become, considering Israel is the Nazi regime now, inflicting its own holocaust on others.

        I think I don’t like war. Period.

        I can realistically understand the reasons given for it, but that’s never going to make me like it.

            I mean yeah, democratic decline, dwindling ressources and climate change are putting the world on a path to a lot more conflict. This is going to be the new normal going forward if we don’t manage to stop the underlying problems. Doesn’t mean there will be a massive world war, but it definitely means there will be more significant wars.

    That’s 3 countries and Palestine, which is also a country in my book.

    “Defense”

    Crazy that within just a couple weeks Ukraine and now Israel have successfully smuggled drones into a country. Terrifying new vector of war.

        What will the USA and Israel do? Bomb them to death and? Invade? Without an army in the ground you can’t really win. Which of their lackeys can they send, the turks? The saudis? Good luck with that.

          Take out the Iranian regime that’s holding their country hostage and Iranians will do the rest themselves.
