Israel misjudged iran bigtime
trump desperate for a way OUT |

By:
Meloni isn't unreasonable in asking US/Israel to return the Straits to the way they were and yes Trump is obligated to do just that.

I don't think Iran are stronger, I think they are damaged, but
still capable of doing some damage. They've played their poor hand as well as they could, and called out a few of Trump and nettys bluffs. Long term they can't win, but they don't need long term strategy when under the cosh. Short termism is about all they can hope for, until the bombs stop. |

If it wasn't for the evils of SM algorithms we wouldn't be in this mess. Trump is in power because of Social Media algorithms feeding people repetitively with the same junk information. Many people get brainwashed and end up voting for an imbecile like Trump. There's a minority of people on here falling for the BS. It's not far off what the people of Iran and Russia, for example, have faced for decades. A steady stream of distorted and fake news, but from totalitarian regimes, instead of algorithms
It's also why we've got an ever increasing polarization in politics. Two separate people with wildly different views being fed two wildly different sets of fake news sent to their feed by these algorithms, perpetuating their distorted views. All the while, in the background inequality gets worse. Think that's also a reason for it, and a by product of it, so it's self perpetuating. |

Countries can have rules on sanctions but capitalist enterprises just get their best lawyers on the case and figure out work-arounds through other countries or shell companies
It was also actual governments of EU countries (especially Germany) figuring out work-arounds as well as nations which basically support Russia. Plus the fact that Russians are just going to better than Western people at enduring whatever hardships arise. |

This war is dumb, but people didn't need algorithms to say no thanks to Kamala. |

and at end of day, USA got all the oil it needs and more,in fact a few dollars more on a barrel won't do them any harm.
Nice for America, but over here we have Ed Milliband and windmills |

tobermory, today i read that they have a mountain deep within which are lots of munitions, they have lots of different sites to launch the bombs from off the mountain and they are not deterred if a launch site is detected and destroyed as they have so many others to use. i think the depth mentioned for the bombs being stored was 500 metres so there is no chance of destroying them by american bombs.
i think they have plenty of marine drones as well. all the talk of them losing 90% of their arsenal or whatever seems fanciful. i think what this war has taught us is that iran has plenty of leverage over the strait and that they are prepared to put up with lots of bombing themselves. |

seems that the oil market doesn't believe a word he says anymore. And only Iran matters as far as gulf oil is concerned.

It really comes to something when you are more inclined to believe Iran than the US President. This endless pandering to a narcissistic pratt has created a deluded monster |

Israel's plan to cause as much damage as possible in Iran and also create a smokescreen for a Lebanon land-grab?
Very sly. |

it is well documented that some of the israeli government want a greater israel, i hope i am wrong but i dont see the people of southern lebanon going home in the foreseeable future.
we all recognise that iran is a theocracy but there are religious fruitcakes in israel and in the american hierarchy. hegseth's words at a prayer meeting were the words of a fruit loop. in his interview with tucker carlson the american ambassador, mike huckabee, invoked the bible to justify israel expanding its land. and now the houthis are joining in. the war is going very badly but rather than back down trump seems more likely to send in ground troops which will probably make it even worse. imo, this is the dumbest war of the century. |

Trump will be getting the bibles out again...

Hesgeth seems as loopy as Trump. Vance and Rubio's sychophantic relationship with Trump seems more considered and about personal gain.

I don't believe it is a 'war' anymore.
The phoney war began with Dresident Pump's 5 day, now 10 day ultimatum to Iran to accept conditions. Eff all can be done to release the economic stranglehold held by Eyeran with the blockade of the 'strait'... ...other than for his christian zionist masters to instruct the pressing of a nuclear bomb to end it in Japan like fashion. He's fecked. Eyeran could decimate the US proxy's sanitation and energy plants in the blink of an eye. A global economy crash would send us all into a spin. Dresident Pump needs to turn around, shake hands and call it a draw with Eyeran possibly agreeing to the oversight of its uranium enrichment programme purely engineered for energy production. |

it's ok, if the iranians don't negotiate by the end of the 10 days fifa will award trump the war 3-0 and give him a trophy.

Considering the world has let one tiny country, acting completely without reservation, to make the whole world poorer, I’d say more fool you and me. Yes, we have been legendarily dumb to pander to Israel. The country isn’t even of the West imo.

So far "winning" means..
Risk of future Iranian nuclear weapons increased Regime change not achieved and no signs of it Risk of future terrorist activity increased Thousands of people killed already including a few hundred children Likely prospect of a global recession. Recessions are estimated to increase child mortality rates in developing nations by 6.9% and overall mortality rates by 4.6% in developing nations Fears of a global famine from lack of fertiliser, blowing above estimates out of the water Hate to know what losing means then |
