Re: Iran

Are you really that dense? Really?

He is dense enough to fabricate the opinions of other posters. That has been proven time and time again.

Could change tomorrow of course. Or by the time I hit "post quick reply"

Re: Iran

Do you think Jon’s criticism of Netanyahu is because he’s Jewish or because he’s a bit of a (humongous) dickhead?

Another example of the humongous dickhead showing his normal level of empathy and concern for others (not). And his self interest is driving state policy to ensure the part-fascist coalition holds together and that his corruption trials are kicked into the long grass.

Meantime dozens of civilians are murdered at the handful of aid distribution points every day and the world doesn’t care any more (our leaders have happily moved on to Iran) or has become numbed/bored.

Re: Iran

I do wish people would post more about the behaviour of leaders elsewhere in the middle east too. Iran is a repulsive regime who's citizens enjoy vastly inferior rights for example.

Just a suggestion. Netanyahu clearly deserves all the criticism he gets, but others do too.

He's been bombing hospitals too, but that wasn't really the point being made.

The World is a complex place but Netanyahu stands out for his evilness.. It's a lot better to analyse individually rather than collectively.

Re: Iran

Loving the fall out over this between Trump and some of his cohorts - e.g. Tulsi Gabbard, even MTG.

Meanwhile back at home - typical Tory response:

Only the Sludgebot could respond to a post that says "X deserves all the criticism he gets" and then turn that into "you've defended X".

Try again.

Re: Iran

Only two individuals know Jon's real motives for saying and doing what he does, however on this and many other matters he would appear to be so on Israel's case that his comment re WW3 indicates he is so focused on his opposition to all things Israeli that he makes throw away comments like - 'who cares about WW3'.

He is free to make such comments although you and he would disagree with me re the ultimate consequences of such a mindset.

That doesn’t answer the question. Try again.

What a reflection of the times we live in that so called civilised countries are being led by crooks, grifters and chancers who behave like they’re characters in a soap opera so that we get the will he, won’t he “cliffhanger” of will Trump authorise an attack on Iran? I’m already heartily sick and tired of about 90 per cent of news bulletins starting with something about what the moron in the White House is doing in his never ending attempts to make him the story.

As for Netanyahu’s Israel, as opposed to Israel, they are bombing a country for the “crime” of being on the brink of having nuclear weapons since 1992, at least, according to the man himself. Yet, contrary to all sorts of treaties and agreements it seems, Netanyahu’s Israel has nuclear weapons of their own and nobody says a word despite them definitely being the most trigger happy and aggressive “civilized”country in the world.

Yes, I know about the Holocaust and cannot imagine what it must have been like for a Jew who lived through it, but the amount of latitude the current day rogue state of Israel gets because of it is inexcusable. Okay, Iran is many of the things it is routinely accused of, but, if Hamas are held by Netanyahu’s Israel to be the aggressors behind the fall out from what happened on 7/10/23, then they have to accept that they are the aggressors when it comes to this situation which has taken the world to the brink in recent days.

Re: Iran

Scare event necessary
"Q"

Only option available to me the past couple of days has been BBC news, totally unhinged channel desperate for Trump to bomb Iran the decision has already been made they say according to their sources and Trump comes out last night saying he will decide in two weeks 😂😂😂, if Trump does infact bomb Iran, the he will have likely made a decision from intelligence initially from Bibi, I don't think he will and will be smoothed over but if he does, he then joins the war monger brigade and confirms without any doubt to those who live life without TDS that he is owned by the Israel lobby. His base loyalists are turning on each other and it's entertaining to follow, makes CCMB look like a kindergarten club. Will the ME crises result with the deep state end game where so far, the Ukraine Russia conflict has failed ? A war is desperately wanted by those in dark glasses and crisp suits.

Re: Iran

It looks like the ultimatum is about to expire.

Extension on the extension, if he does bomb em, it will probably be a Friday night or Saturday morning so as not to panic the markets and give them time to settle before they re-open.

That’s considerate!
