US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

I don't think people appreciate the fact that the Geneva convention and indeed major parts of International Humanitarian law are all but dead.

Just because the US and Israel ignore it? That's nice.

So the US is responsible for the oil crisis that is going to decimate the world's economies. And Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine is responsible for October 7th. Glad that's cleared up.

Oil going through the roof today. Unless there's big profit taking this afternoon, traders are pricing in some form of major attack/ground invasion over the weekend. Looks like Iran is preparing for it too: Ghalibaf says seven million are ready to fight.

Even if there's profittaking, look out for that insider spike in the 30 minutes before 9pm. If it happens, this is going to devastate the global economy and Trump knows it. Maybe this was all planned in advance of the theft of Venezuela's reserve.

Every previous oil crisis resulted in an severe Irish recession. This one will dwarf those. Europe did nothing to stop that madman.

Jesus, they went in Guns blazng to a music concert. The killed anything that moved basically.

I take your point on the occupation and agree on a lot of your post, but basically that action started a genocide that has shaped the greatest loss of life in decades in that part of the world. How anyone thought Israel were going to soak up what happened and accept it and just hand over prisoners is beyond comprehension. They were basically handed a free rein to start what they probably were wanting to do in decades. Hamas are/were murderous in the extreme and no actions Israel has done can or will change that. Israel are the same, the difference is that they can sustain it. Hamas can't or couldn't.

Europe is what's left of Nato when the rogue nation leaves, if you want call it the 'coalition of the willing'. They could've done more than be 'concerned'. Instead they appeased like another madman was appeased during the 30s. It's European economies that will be most affected by the actions of the US and Israel. That's the prices you pay to put fuel in your car, heat your home, feed your children, and whether or not your job is on the line in the coming recession.

Also, when you see just how violent and extreme the Israeli state is, the existence of a Hamas or a Hezbollah should hardly come as a surprise to anyone. That's not seeking to justify their existence or any time where they have killed innocent civilians, but their existence is very predictable - it's obvious that an incredibly violent state would be met with violence.

If you can find it in your heart to forgive and excuse 756 civilians casualties or 1 for that matter on a raid of murderous intent on a side you support, then it's easy enough to see how Israelis can excuse any number of deaths in retaliation.

I as much as wrote your last paragraph in my post. We don't disagree on much. But Hamas were and are as bad as the Israelis. If you think differently, we won't agree on that.

I do think there is always something of which of his sycophants had his ear last usually influencing what comes out of his mouth, but last night just seemed to be just Trump riffing without regard for any covert strategies.

Why talk about others taking over Hormuz if they want he oil, and then still talk about hanging around for a few weeks.

It does look like he while he wants to just walk away he probably has his fathers voice in his head calling him a fool.

October 7th was allowed happen. Unless the most advanced military and spy agency in world combined with the most guarded border didn’t notice a few hundred lads on hang gliders . I’ll have whatever whoever believes that is drinking.

It was only watching the bbc documentary on the music festival when it dawned on me. A response time of 3 hours from when IDF were notified first of the incursion in a country that small and a military so might is simply stretching credibility imo
