Middle East Conflict | Netanyahu orders strikes on Gaza (p1161)

[Norbert D]

Well done Trump you fucking moron, you lit the fuse. Starmer had better make sure we stay out of this shitshow, otherwise he will be joining Blair in The Hague.

Qatar not happy with Iran now, this could all escalate very quickly.

Worrying times, my brother's wife is Persian and all her family are in Iran. There will no doubt be a response from the US and it will be ordinary people that will suffer.

Well obviously the US by doing what they did have declared war on Iran and therefore Iran's response is war.

So if the outcome is war then the US bombing 3 specific sites in Iran is an act of war and not terrorism. Or is Iran fighting a war on terrorism.

And there was only one person who predicted the World Trade Centre being targeted. This is very tin foil, but of the many thousands of buildings, what are the odds eh?

Not true.

• The video with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is from a 2006 CNN interview, years after 9/11.

• During the interview, Netanyahu mentions his 1995 book, which refers to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and predicts a second attack. But this does not prove he knew about 9/11.

Netanyahu is a self serving **** who certainly appears to be manipulating the moron Trump to do his bidding but suggestions Israel may have been behind 9/11 are just ridiculous.

I am more concerned about Iranians becoming radicalized and terror attacks happening. I dont feel this will escalate seriously unless China or Russia start to wave their dicks.

Who SHOULD have a nuke? Americans that shag their flag, please allegiance to Israel before their God OR Israel who are actually bat shit crazy & will go to any length, including terrorism, to get what they want? If you listen to military leaders across the world, they are pretty much all insane, some are just more emotive in their choice of language.

The answer to your first question is nobody, because people are cunts. We are basically territorial, upright apes who cannot ultimately appreciate the beauty of the world that is around us.

All the points you make about American flag shaggers are valid but somewhat of a non-sequitur.

After watching that clip, which is what I was commenting on, I was stating that people like those contained therein should not have decision making autonomy over a weapon that can destroy our planet in its current form. This is because they are not rational because they believe in a sky fairy, and that belief informs their decision making. This is egregiously dangerous.

Why don’t you watch the clip again and explain to me why you think they should have that decision making autonomy?

Because based on your response that seems to be what you appear to be advocating.

Going to kick off big time now,wouldn’t be surprised even more countries get dragged into this now how long till we have ww3

Won't get close to such a thing. Iran dont have the power to pose any credible threat and they won't be publicly backed by anybody that does.

This response was inevitable, it was basically baited out of them, they had no choice but to do it and everybody knew beforehand that it was coming and could be thwarted easily. It was all done for show. Not that it is needed with this madman but it now gives trump ammo to escalate further if he so chooses.

Cock waving for the home crowd.

You love a bit of cock waving.

Not with Netanyahu in power.
Not with Palastinians who don't admit Israel's right to exist or aren't prepared to negotiate with Israel.
Sadly It's the ultimate doom loop.

There are plenty of Palestinians who'd be prepared to negotiate with Israel. That's why Netanyahu supported Hamas who weren't (and previously supported the assassination of an Israeli PM who also wanted to negotiate).

The USA could still support Israel by supporting regime change in Israel.

Hopefully a symbolic act before bowing to pressure from most of the world to negotiate. The Millwall of the Arab world without the tattoos and hair loss.

I think that's the only post on this thread that has made me laugh.

Very strange for Iran to target Qatar, they have good relations. Even if it’s a direct attack on the US base, it’s still within Qatar sovereignty.

it’s most likely simply performative.

That’s all I can think, and probably arranged between the 2 nations.

You've got me there. When the Germans invaded the Sudetenland was that an act of war?

I think I'll go with Peter Ustinov's definition.

War is what the rich do to the weak and terrorism is what the weak do to the powerful.
