    Or people just don’t blindly agree with how their leaders keep dragging us into wars and how our tax money is going on bombs which kill kids and women

    Also think there is plenty in Iran and Israel who also don’t like their leaders.

    The majority of people want peace but wars make money which is why we will never see it

    It's really simple

    The good guys are the ones with the nukes

    The bad guys are the ones trying to make the nukes

    Nukes make you good


    But more importantly

    The US has a history of it. Trump was elected on a pledge that he wouldn’t drag the US into another endless war, but that’s exactly what he’s just done.

    What makes this particularly dangerous, is that he’s done it on the back of Netanyahu’s whims, a man wanted for war crimes and a man who thinks nothing of carpet bombing refugee camps.

    But perhaps even more dangerous than that, is that Trump has acted alone, without any congressional input, he’s just bypassed the entire democratic process and put himself firmly in the bracket of unhinged dictator territory.

    This sends a message to China, Russia and anybody else that if they decide, on their own pretexts to attack another country, then the richest and supposedly most rules based democracy in the world has just thrown all of that under a bus and it’s now a free for all

    China invading Taiwan, go for it.

    Russia annexing more of Ukraine or invading any of the Baltic states, go for it

    Pakistan or India deciding they want to take Kashmir for themselves and will nuke the other side if they resist, be my guest.

    N.Korea getting itchy trigger finger and wiping out Seoul, why not.

    Iran attacking US bases in the Middle East, it’s all fair game now.

    What will also probably happen is a surge in ‘grey’ warfare, China and Russia interfering with western infrastructure, technology, communication, energy pipelines, small scale attacks on the energy grid, interrupting radar and flight data etc. hacking into banking and business systems, security firewalls etc.

    We’ve just seen how secure our RAF bases are when a couple can just Waltz in and do whatever they want, and that’s an indication of how lax and used to peace we’ve become

    that’s no longer the case.

    Anybdoy who thinks the world is a safer place because the US has blown up a couple of nuclear power stations, is kidding themselves.

    The exact opposite is unfolding

    Everything is fair game now.

    For years the US and Israel have deemed an enemy of anybody who supports Iran and labelled them as a legitimate target.

    Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, all bombed on the premise that they are Iranian proxies.

    So the UK being the US closest ally could now be seen as a proxy for the aggression in the Middle East. We also supply weapons components and logistics to Israel. We’ve made ourselves a target

    A bomb planted under the Dartford Bridge ? Causing huge fatalities and massively disrupting the economy of London. Could it happen ? They are plenty of people who could do it.

    A passenger jet taken down by a rocket launcher as it leaves Gatwick and crashes in a fireball over Crawley ?

    Trump has just raised the terror alert tenfold in the UK on the back of these actions.

    I eagerly await an AI montage of Yemen’s soldiers being cheered by an enormous crowd before they do nothing but inadvertently injure two Palestinian children.

    The regimes of Saddam Hussein and Moamar Gadhaffi were equally brutal. How’d regime change work out there?

    I've not mentioned regime change. I've said the complete opposite to avoid distablising the area, America has also confirmed it don't want regime change, but it shouldn't go unmentioned what sort of regime we are dealing with here. Not sure why anyone would cry on behalf of such a brutal regime, would their wives and daughters like to live there, I don't think so. It seems we are happy to overlook stuff like this when shedding tears over something that was nothing more than an attack on nuclear capabilities. I didn't see people crying with the same intensity when Putin was targeting a nuclear facility in Ukraine where soldiers were hiding, where it was a far greater risk (across Europe) than anything the US done in the early hours..

    Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan. We turned those places into a hotbed of unstable Islamist extremist factions vying for power, the same unstable Islamist extremists that we helped to arm and train when we thought they could do our bidding in the Middle East.

    Take a look around the world over the history of our and the US interventions abroad. Whether it’s overthrowing African governments so that we can get our hands on their oil, Central and South America ‘commies’, the Middle East ‘dictators with weapons of mass destruction’. We have ****ed them all up and left those countries in massive debt, stripped out their assets and left a vacuum behind for endless power struggles and internal conflicts.

    We don’t learn anything from history, and here we are again using the smokescreen of nuclear weapons to destabilise another key part of the Middle East.
