My granddaughter is one next month. Her dad was just starting school what seems like a few months ago.
Trump has just told 10 million civilians to evacuate Tehran. The roads out of Tehran are already choked and loads of people can’t get out. This is all presumably ahead of a massive air strikes by Israel on the city. Expecting to see this Iranian regime go for broke now and pummel Tel Aviv in return madness.
Iran and it's various militias have been firing rockets constantly, just relatively few of them get through and actually hit Israel. Israel has also claimed control of Iranian airspace. Militarily, Israel are impressive.
That’s because they are backed by US weaponry and $$$$$ Both the US and Israel want regime change in Iran, the US are using Israel as their proxy to try and achieve that. This is all part of Netanyahu’s expansionist plans for Israel to dominate the Middle East. It’s got **** all to do with nuclear weapons.
It’s like the forbidden fruit to compare Netanyahu’s Israel with Nazi Germany 1. Despot leader hell bent on eliminating anybody who stands in his way - check 2. Demonising an ethnic group and trying to ethnically cleanse them - check 3. Invading other peoples land and trying to claim it as your own - check 4. Openly trying to topple another country’s leadership - check 5. Being backed by ultra nationalist fascists who see it as their God given right to take what they want - check 6. Harbouring expansionist aims to try and shape the region to your own political and strategic agenda - check 7. Showing zero regard for the civilian population and deliberately targeting children, medical workers etc - check 8. Attacking any county with impunity if the expansionist aims are secured. - check
Quite impressive that this entire list applies to the British Empire up until it collapsed into a few Carribbean islands and some sheep in the Falklands.
Let me know when it's ok to ask the question of proportionality some have spent a year and a half crying about. Iran's response to Israel's precision strikes aimed at military and economic infrastructure has been to lob thousands of missiles at civilian areas. And this, I presume, is totally ok because the civilians happen to mainly be Israeli?
No, it’s not okay. It’s not okay that two rogue states, both led by maniacs in thrall to fundamentalists, with no regard for human life, are willing to set fire to the Middle East to promote their selfish ambitions. A curse on both their houses.
