Yawn.
No critics on Israel preparing to bomb a sovereign nation and cause a nuclear catastrophe? 😳. The Libs of WNU must be protesting against oil and blocking traffic today
9:25 seems to be ignorant of the geopolitical reality that Israel has to deal with, or perish. There's no in between. When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's kinda hard to worry about who's gonna be butt hurt if you act preemptively in order to assure your survival. The official policy of Iran and company is (and has been, for years) simple: destroy Israel by any means possible. There is no doubt that is its goal. Not a pro-Israel fanatic, this is simply the reality of the situation.
You've nailed it!! Frankly I expected Israel to have eliminated this problem in 2008. I explained to loved ones we didn't need to worry about this. Israel has our backs no matter how stupid our government is. They've got this abs will handle it!! Faster please Israel!!
Honestly speaking Israel has strong military power, I remember when they almost took half of Africa and advancing to Saudi Arabia in the past, so Iran is a country of crazy people, you should know who have already lost the war, including cybernetic and magnetic, should stop wanting a warhead because what they are going to take is a nuclear and rapid attack by Israel
Yeah, because Ukraine was such a massive threat to Russia to the point that Russia's very existence depended on it invading Ukraine.
Sure.
They had neither the refuelling tankers , buster bunkers or stealth aircraft to do the job in 2008 . As far as l.know refuelling tankers is still an issue , as are aircraft to carry the biggest bunker busters. This by necessity will need to be a joint U.S / Israeli op .
Faz in onto something. However, what is now taking place in Israel is putting that leadership at odds with the Biden administration at present.
B Poster, you said "Israel has our backs"
You have it backwards. The USA has the back of Israel, period. Israel does not have our backs. How could they? Israel is a regional power and does not project force beyond the boundaries of the middle east.
Frankly the relationship between USA and Israel is rather one-sided. The USA gives money and materials Israel takes and gives regional intelligence at best. That encapsulates the relationship between the USA and Israel.
However the USA support of Israel gains it favor in the eyes of God.
When I was stationed there years ago I never trusted the Israeli Army. They told me "The survival of the state of the Jewish State is our only mission. We will stop at nothing to protect Israel first."
If we stopped supporting them they'd immediately see Putin and even XI. Why do you think they court Russia and dis Ukraine!
1005 is correct
The Israelis have a Sinn Fein mentality. "ourselves alone"
They do not care what happens to others.
As for God protects those who support the Jews. I find that odd. That whole philosophy is warped.
Was not the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ the New covenant ? The death of the old covenant happened when the veil in the temple was ripped in half.
We owe those people nothing.
Can't wait for another failed state and ISIS 2.0....
As I patiently explained to friends and family in January 2008, we don't need to worry about a nuclear armed Iran. Israel will take of it and the best thing we/America can do is GET OUT OF ISRAEL'S WAY!!
There's nothing of value we can offer and given the fact that numerous pro-Iranian operatives hold key positions in the US government we are a net liability to such an operation. As such the Israelis obvuously aren't going to consult the Americans before they eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons facilities. After all doing so means letting the Iranians know it's coming and how it's happening!!
US (un)intelligence will be caught completely unaware. I'm actually locking forward to deer in the headlights look on the faces of members of the US leadership class as they try and explain what happen. Essentially Israeli forces will eliminate the problem and be back home before we/America even know what hapoened!!!
Allowing us to "participate" is actually quite clever on the part of the Israelis. This helps insure Iran gets fed false information about the upcoming operation. Deception is key in warfare!! Om this case our leadership class are excellent useful idiots!!
Go Israel!! I'm helping yourselves you're helping us!!
Of course they are going to take out Irans capabilities to produce nukes. I believe that we have no idea what's going to brake loose in the ME and the "US" will of course help just as much. I'm just worried about the fallout.
If we thought the migration wave was bad before..
Yes Hans, and it cuts more than just that.
If the straight of Hormuz is shut down, what then?
Ten dollars a gallon for gas?
50 %reduction in the availability of heating oil?
For the USA , uncle Joe has just about drained our strategic reserves.
So this will not be just a diplomatic/military sh🥳t show, but a major economic one.
The geopolitical reality is that Nato is a nuclear threat to Russia and Ukraine was cozing up to Nato a bit too much. I understand Israel’s position and what they are doing. What I don’t understand is how you and so many others can’t see the similarities between the two situations
Not Ukraine, but the US and England using Ukraine to do their bidding.
Very true
Israel can't do it without the u.s , they've said as much .
Well said
