Israel is Coming Apart at the Seams, It Seems

Well, Netanyahu speaks English. He doesn't speak Farsi. And more Iranians speak English then Hebrew. So.... LOL.

As to the rest, Iran certainly doesn't seem like they want a broader war. Right now it looks like Netanyahu can wrap this up in a month or two more and call it a resounding victory.

Just another reminder, that maybe you shouldn't start wars you can't finish. Not that the idiots in the Middle East will ever stop thinking that Allah will eventually grant them victory, all the evidence to the contrary.

Take this pro-Hezbollah and Hamas Lebanese 'journalist' who celebrated the 10/7 massacre of innocent Israelis.

She was live on Russia Today propagandizing for her cause when she was told that Nasrallah had been killed. Her reaction is... something.

Of course, she was back within the day saying how she was going to destroy Visegrad (Ukrainian media) and that October 7th was the most glorious day in the history of Levantines...

Whatever version my partner showed me this morning had Farsi subtitles.

You might have seen the English subtitled version because you speak English and follow English language media and influencers.

It may be about to get missiley between Iran and Israel.

Yeah, that's not good. I doubt it'll be as calibrated as the last one and there probably will be some bombing of Iran in response, with the US becoming directly involved.

Expect a lot of this...

You’re getting close to going Full Amaris.

Is this mild skirmish resolved yet? I'm going to a music festival in that area this weekend and need to plan what to bring.

Well, it just got missiley.

Escalation on Iran's part that Israel should have expected and absolutely should not be allowed to play the victim over.

Both sides at this point are in the fuck around and find out stage and the only folk I'm concerned about are the civilians suffering because their leaders are cunts.

EDIT: I'm sure someone is about to draw a Ukraine/Russia comparison. If Ukraine was launching airstrikes against nations supporting Russia, you might have a point. Even with their ground counterattack, they have taken great pains to avoid civilian casualties.

Iron Dome has gone a bit rusty, it seems.

Nevatim Airbase is gone. Multiple strikes hitting Tel Aviv and elsewhere.

Hezbollah spent months firing hundreds of missiles at Israel. Israel was completely justified in retaliating against Hezbollah. Are you suggesting that Israel should just tolerate getting missiles fired at it forever because Iran will get upset if it tries to defend itself?

Regardless of any issues with Israel, there is no way in hell I would ever offer even tacit support to Iran.

They should've paid us for continuing support and not just the beta version.

No, I'm suggesting any attempt to use this to further play the victim should not work.

If they wanted to retaliate, fine. They knew Iran would hit back.

At this point, it's tit-for-tat. I'd say let the fuckers get on with it except there are innocents dying on both sides.

And Netanayhu doesn't have political support from all his people, in case you were thinking of playing the "well, Iran should choose better leaders" card.

Yeah... if one person is attacking you and you defend yourself, you're still the victim. And if your attacker has buddies that also start attacking you if you decide to fight hack against your attacker, you're still the victim.

And if I go round his friends' houses and start whacking their wives and kids?

John Wick dies at the end of the trilogy, you know?

If they wanna go the pyrrhic route, fine.

We don't have to cheer them on.

If we're actually a friend, perhaps we should be stopping them splashing the gasoline about?

I've said it before and I will say it again: At this point I'm so tired of everyone wanting to kill each other over racist/religious ideologies that I'm happy to just see them get it over with.
The solutions (without violence) are so simple if everyone would just let go of their petty bullshit.

Just save time and say you don't want Israel to fight back.

IMHO Israel has been incredibly patient with Iran for a long time, possibly too patient. It's no secret that Hamas and Hezbollah are Iran's proxies. The Iranian government deserves to be punished for the actions of both. Maybe they'll finally cut the shit if they know they won't be able to avoid retaliation for it?

Maybe?

If they just retaliate back?

I'm not saying don't do it, but if I stand up to a bully and he hits me back, I don't get to bitch about the bruises.

The lack of self-awareness is staggering.

Maybe everyone should cut the shit.

I'd be happy if WE just cut the purse strings.

If you truly believed that you wouldn't gloat whenever Israel gets attacked.

Don’t get too excited too soon.

Still more to come but thankfully it looks like your boys didn’t manage to kill any Jews or do any serious damage.

I'd be happy if the US stopped all foreign aid, adopted a strict "America First" policy, and retreated into isolationism. What could go wrong?

I sincerely hope your kids never get bullied, for their sake.

I'm quite happy that no civilians were hurt. Hey, see how that's possible?

But I'm sure the mild sense of schadenfreude I would feel if a few genocidal IDF had gotten what they deserved will soon be tempered by the massive killing spree they're probably about to go on in revenge.

I suppose this is what the policy of "deescalation through escalation" gets Blinken, or Harris, or whatever spook is running the show in lieu of a lucid POTUS.
It's also the first time an incumbent handed his own preferred successor an October surprise.

So, ultimately very bad for everyone except Trump and Netanyahu.

I'm not really sure how this is good for Trump.

What do you think is about to happen to oil prices? To name just one thing.

Unlikely, since I don't have any and will likely die alone.

But if they were being bullied and I chose to take on the bully for them, or encouraged them to do so, I certainly would not kill the bully's mom or siblings. Or random folk who lived nearby.

That would make me a horrific cunt.

Even if the bully was a horrific cunt who did stuff like that.
