US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

What a complete and utter irredeemable cnut cretin.

Israel couldn't afford it without the States. They may be able to afford close range munitions to trouble Lebanon, Syria, Egypt but nothing more than that. $30 billion from the US every year keeping them in the game. No Iron Dome, no David's Sling. Thats before you add in indirect aid from US companies positioning themselves there who otherwise wouldn't. How would Ireland fare if we threw that much money into arms. We wouldn't last very long.

The GCC position is completely illogical. They are defacto supporting a country whose idealogy is to annex part of theres in order to support a regime that promises to protect them but has proven themselves incapable of doing so.

Huckabee openly stated the Israel has aspirations to extend the greater Israel project from Turkey to Saudi Arabia and frankly they should be allowed. Thats the stated position of the US ambassador and the stated ambition of Israel.

Had the GCC, and Europe for that matter, had any sense they would expel the US, isolate Israel, support Palestine and come together as an economic union.

The fastest way to deplete the munitions stocks of the United States and Israel?Inflatable hospitals.

Iran is a legitimate target for Ukraine also, under the same UN charter.

In two weeks Australia might be in a bit of trouble.

Australia needs to have a serious look at itself. Unbelievable natural resources, endless solar, completely self sufficient in uranium yet they're still tied to the ME for energy.

On top of that they're jailing teenagers for 2 years for speaking out against Israel. They're America lite.

Another thing that came to me while I was just out for a walk is the respect people in Lebanon and Syria have for Irish people because of the peacekeeping work of our Defense Forces. On several occasions this was mentioned to me in both countries once the people found out I was Irish, I've read about this elsewhere too but can attest from first hand experience. And then to see these glib, smug posts gloating about dead Arabs is absolutely galling.

Like I've been saying, I've been there and the people are that nice.

The decision to attack Iran by the U.S./Israel will go down as one of the worst military decision of all time. Up there with Hitler invading Russia. Trump was still high from having captured Maduro from Venezuela that he had an exaggerated sense of America's ability and he completely underestimated Iran. Bibi went ahead because he realised Trump was the only President stupid enough to be his partner in this misadventure. I think Bibi deep down had to know it was a suicide mission. But it's been his life's work to fight Iran.

Essentially they wanted to strip Iran of the ability to defend itself and most likely break it up a-la Yugoslavia. Iran is massive. It is about 75% the size of Western Europe, mountainous, heavily armed and with a population of 93m people. Lindsey Graham let the cat out of the bag re a greater Israel. Lebanon is a basket case. Egypt is heavily dependent on American aid. Jordan likewise. Syria is destroyed. Iraq isn't in great shape either. Militarily Saudi Arabia posed no threat to Israel. Iran was the last bulwark against Zionist expansion.

Thanks for filling me in. I wasn't aware that Iran was looking for this. At the end of the day, as another poster said it's an illegal war so compensation is only right.

Wow, I saw a map online and there are loads of American bases all around the middle east.
