    Yep, he knows Trump has influence that could help him and some ways of hurting him.

    'But Bidens' dementia...' <doh>
    Best guess is that he was 'talking' about EV Car Charger manufacturing plants, but frankly should it matter? He is certifiable and clearly has no control whatsoever of his Administration.

    I understand the general dislike of Israel here, even if I don't agree with it. And don't get me wrong, I respect your opinions. However I think it is also possible to say that it is not a good thing for Iran to get nuclear weapons. I think that would spur a nuclear escalation in the region that would not be good for the world. For example I can see Saudi wanting nukes if Iran has. I suspect that even if they don't say it, Saudi is rather pleased with Israel's action. So clearly it's generally a bad thing for a country to attack another. But an unstable regime with nuclear weapons is also a bad thing. I don't think that North Korea having nukes is good for example. And maybe if direct action was taken against North Korea earlier, even if unpalatable at the time, a longer term problem might be avoided. It's a difficult situation, but if Israel was going to attack Iran, I think this was about the best time (for them), and I'm kind of surprised that there were not defence analysts coming out and saying it. Maybe there were predictions, I mean I have seen lots of "this will happen one day" predictions, but I haven't seen any that thought it would happen now.

    Not true - its a visceral hatred of the current Israeli Government, the extremist elements of its population and its actions against the Palestinian people.
    As far as Iran is concerned, I would prefer all countries NOT to have nuclear weapons and certainly have no desire for Iran to possess them. (They don't currently). However, I see no case whatsoever to justify Israel possessing them, yet the international community appears to be happy to accept this contradiction. The Wests willingness to allow Israel - which can hardly be currently regarded as a particularly stable regime itself - to attack both its neighbours and domestic 'controlled' areas with impunity is a major destabilising factor in the region.
    But as you say, I respect your opinion.

    Have to say the "Irarel, OORAH!" sentiments coming from the average American so-called liberals underlines why the Overton window may as well have been in the first class lounge of the Titanic
