US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Clearly, the Trump-Netanyahu relationship has fallen through the floor and is probably irreparable. Not entirely obvious that the Israeli opposition could do much to fix it…..they are as hawkish and right wing as Netanyahu.

Bennett is probably worse, on Lebanon anyway.

I have to laugh at the reference to 'their allies….including in Lebanon'. Israel, as reported earlier, not even mentioned by name. I suppose Netanyahu can say he's no longer an 'ally' and not bound by it.

The rest is tosh - the same Iranian commitment as in 2015, and everything else postponed for 60 days, with carrots for Iran in the form of sanctions lifted and $300 billion, though I suspect this will never happen as there'll be no final agreement. But they seem to get some frozen assets upfront plus sanction waivers on their oil.

Signing on Friday.....Israel will do everything it can to stop the deal. It wants to continue its reign of terror and death.

Have you shared your insider knowledge with US intelligence? It might be news to them given their recent assessment was that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon. Also Donnie told us iran's nuclear program was destroyed last June. You better inform him too that Iran will use the 60 days to fast track to nukes. Whoever is giving you this information will be pissed you shared it on boards

@engineerws,

I was talking about the powerful Pro Israeli pressure groups. - and I referenced special interest groups, (who might be Christians / other) etc.

I WROTE (verbatim): ⬇️

“My concerns are Congress won’t cut Netanyahu off. Their (politicians including Democrats!!) campaigns are funded by the Jews (i.e., just about everyone from AIPAC, special interest groups, wealthy individuals…). These Jews have worked to get leverage for years - they have influence. You would have heard 'the US is in service of a foreign power'. Congress will threaten to bring down the economy - the stock market - their investments - everyone will turn on Trump - exerting their influence - money.… Of course, old money will be able to weather the storm - gold and diamonds, property, arms, military might - people own armies. “ [...]

This is what engineerws wrote (unedited) to me: ⬇️

“Trump seems to be owned by Israel. Maybe something in the Epstein files or something else (his children?)

“Israel was in a quagmire, now they can reload and blame Trump and Trump can blame Netanyahu. Then after the mid terms they can resume killing school girls.

^^^ I didn’t contradict anything you wrote above. I simply fleshed out my own reply to each of your points.

I’ll never forget Jewish Voice for Peace peaceful protesters who staged a "sit-in" (civil disobedience) at the Statue of Liberty, in early November 2023. All 500 were wearing black tee-shirts - “Not in Our Name”. They unfurled banners asking for a ceasefire now in Gaza; “Never Again for Anyone”. After 25 minutes or so, they quietly boarded the ferry back to Manhattan. It went viral. The activists were distraught that over 4,000 Gaza children had been killed with US BOMBS, US FUNDING…

Ozymandius, it will be interesting to see what happens with US Congress advancing a proposal to deepen military integration between US and Israel - “United States-Israel Defence Technology Cooperation Initiative" (Section 224).

Al Jazeera’s international affairs journo Caolan Magee explains why this matters for the broader US national security strategy. Caolan breaks it down for us:

If Trump can stand up to those crazies back home he could come out of this looking quite well you know. He could unintentionally end up given credit for solving quite a lot of difficult problems.

I can see him heading off to Pyongyang shortly, that's another easy one given Chairman Kim's softening attitude to the South, they are still officially at war those two.

Could all turn to **** as well like.

A total betrayal of diplomacy that was. At least they have been rewarded with a 50% share in the new waterway business for their efforts. Should be a nice little earner that.

Trump in his meeting with Egypt's leader said something like " if i did not make a deal that strait would never have opened and the world would gone into a depression "

Then he says he may do something that will achieve exactly what he wants to avoid.
