    Can I just clarify something, the whole Iran is about to get nukes seems to be a recurring threat since the US installed Shah was ousted.

    Plus why would Iran use a nuke on Israel if it also kills those Iran wants to protect from Israeli genocide?

    There is a huge amount of millennial thinking on both sides, egged on by the influential evangelical lobby in the USA. Far to many people on all side want to see the end times.

    Palestinians definitely see their salvation as that final battle on that armegedion hill. I heard it directly from a Palestinian refugee educated to PHd level. Don't underestimate the power of religious fanatism to kill us all.

    Lot of Iranian hardware down today.

    In the front to the south of Ukraine:

    The IDF have told civilians up to 30km from the border to evacuate , basically all the areas where Hezbollah are in the south.About 10km north of Litani river.

    Lots of Russian rockets and missiles captured in caves in South Lebanon.

    Why does a neo fascist regime (that can’t spend a day without threatening everyone in Europe with WW3 and nukes) bombing the **** out of another country make you happy?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,512 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    is that why the majority of the worlds population are risking their lives to get into “the west” as refugees and economic migrants in their millions

    Did you read that on Facebook?

    Trump really crossed the Rubicon in supporting the Zionists with moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.

    If you were Palestinian it was confirmation that the US was greenlighting your destruction. So who's the fanatic?

    Russia has advised all of its citizens to leave Israel. Apparently Russians make up 10/15% of the population. Interesting times ahead.

    The IDF looking for a buffer zone for their buffer zone?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,928 ✭✭✭thatsdaft


    I don’t use Facebook, it’s a cesspit of stupidity

    My point stands:


    I don’t see any hordes of refugees and migrants trying to get into Russia, China or Iran

    How come? Is it because these are not particularly great places to live where even the people from these countries goto extreme lengths to escape



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,512 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    My point stands:

    Your point is mental.

    The majority of the worlds population is not risking their lives trying to get into the West.

    Own the stupidity of it and move on.

    Thanks for confirming my point, millions more would happily immigrate to the decadent west (but not Russia/China/Iran) but don’t have the means or risk appetite to do so, millions more per year do make the move



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,512 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Thanks for confirming my point

    Your point was a figment of your imagination as is the idea that I have confirmed it.

    Zero point engaging with that level of Mitty, have a good one.

    Considering most of the settlers in illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine are of Russian origin

    Them f**king off back to Russia sounds like a win win win for everyone

    Sky news

    The Lebanese army has fired back at Israeli forces for the first time since the conflict began a year ago, a Lebanese security source has told Reuters. 

    The army itself said it fired at the "source" of an Israeli strike on a Lebanese military post in the south that killed one of its soldiers.

    The news comes just hours after the army reported another Lebanese soldier was killed and one injured after being targeted by an Israeli strike while on a rescue mission with the Red Cross.

    Makes sense …Russia is in dire need for more cannon fodder



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,851 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    A total of 1,974 people, including 127 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon in the last year, the Lebanese health minister has said. 

    Some 9,384 have been injured, Firass Abiad added.

    one analysis I saw but it seems reasonable Iran essentially showed their teeth but was contained and not designed to cause max/indiscriminate damage, Israel probably understated the damage to show strength and motivate their people.

    The US wont want 200$ oil before an election so will be sending a calming message, so its kind of up to Israel but it seems they wouldnt have a good enough excuse to go all out

    Probably going to clear out infrastructure , fighter etc but I doubt they will aim to put a buffer up that far.

    Far better relationship then, very different dynamic today. It’s also a major concern that Pakistan is on the brink of financial default, while dealing with insurgents. Collapsing nuclear armed nations are extremely dangerous for everyone.

    In the long run

    Countries using threats of using nuclear weapons to expand their already largest empire in world is a bigger threat as it sets a precedent where everyone and their dog now wants these weapons, and the only country to have willingly de nuclearised forever used as an example why this is a bad idea

    Imagine if Israel start threatening all their neighbours with nuclear weapon use unless they handover 25% of their countries and demand regime change and more, the posters here be up in arms, but that’s exactly what Russia been doing for three years now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭Wolf359f


    I would hope so. If the UN failed to enforce the resolution and Hezbollah were using the zone to launch attacks on Israel, it's very hard to blame Israel wanted to clear it out.

    Israel attacking medical centres - typical response from the terrorist state

    If so, you should be able to cite the specific provision of international law (either Geneva Convention or the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons would likely be your best bet) which states such.

    I have already explained the error of the statement to you directly in post #374 back on page 8, in case you missed it. People always seem to forget the subsections of treaties or legislation.

    On other matters, some incredible footage of the ballistic missile attack was posted by a stargazer in Jordan. FB link, but I can't find a good one online. Has shades of the old 'Missile Command' Atari game. The 1980s future is now…

    You can see the two levels of defense. For the first couple of minutes (Don't worry, it's compressed time) you can only see the Arrow intercepts. When the camera is zoomed out in the end, you can see the David's Sling intercepts right above the horizon which got past the Arrow system.

    Various reports out of Lebanon, members of the Red Cross saying they and other humanitarian workers have been specifically targeted by the Israeli forces, reports of White Phosphorous being dropped in civilian areas, a medical facility being bombed, Israel exchanging fire with and killing members of the Lebanese national army too, putting paid to the utterly braindead claims that they're only fighting Hezbollah and not invading Lebanon, the land they believe belongs to them based on extremist religious zealotry and they've invaded multiple times in the past long before Hezbollah existed. There are also reports that Nasrallah had settled on a ceasefire which is why Israel took him out to keep their desire for escalation going.

    It’s not the threat, it’s the vacuum of a government collapse and subsequent disappearance of military assets.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,251 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    And they were protected all the time by their friends …. the IDF.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,512 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    None of that is really new. Aid workers, Paramedics, Doctors, Nurses and journalists are fair targets for the Israeli regime.

    So the next time the likes of US or anyone else supporting the regime try and pontificate to other dictatorships targeting the same they haven't a leg to stand on.

    The problem in Lebanon is the worlds media has descended on Beirut, it's only a matter of time before the IDF kill a well known western journalist and only then will the mood music change en masse.

    Once again you are talking about a hypothetical (ignoring there’s already example of last time Russia collapsing being a net positive for humanity) on one hand

    While I’m talking about actual current events and affairs where the whole world is getting some fairly terrifying lessons from Russian actions, even if one ignores their rhetoric

    Lessons that push us all closer to WW3

    The collapse wasn’t the net positive it should have been, the Russian oligarchs come from the collapse and subsequent asset grab. Many military and police officers went into organised crime. The whole situation could have been handled far better with better outcomes.

    Any military and geopolitical planner will be looking at what happens after the potential collapse and trying to figure out if it’s actually worth it.
