They have good reason to issue such warnings.

Very good news

How disgusting.

Orphaned Tactics Oops we did it again

“The war with Iran is little more than the joint targeting process unleashed. The Frankenstein’s monster that is the operational level of war, unsatiated after eating strategy, is now feasting on policy”. @bafriedman.bsky.social

suicide just to appease your view that it should not exist. As Carney said, try engaging the world as it really is.

the RBO abandoned Israel to fend for itself years ago, and you are indignant that it decides to do so? I have no use for Netanyahu either but this goes well beyond him. If you condemn Israel for using force against the mullah regime you are carrying water for terrorist criminals. Israel won’t commit

all over the world as well as to destroy Israel, directly and by arming and using proxies. Had it deployed a nuclear weapon it would have fired it at Tel Aviv. This is as clear cut a case for self defence as there can be short of direct invasion, which it would have done if it could.,The UN and

Can anyone justify criticizing Israel for counterattacking Iran? The USA might be one thing. But Israel. The mullah regime declared war on Israel in 1979 and every day since then has declared it intended to destroy Israel and kill all Jews. It has kept up a persistent campaign to try to kill Jews

I swear that’s not (just) snobby snark. Most folks who think and talk about politics professionally quite literally cannot enter the headspace of the median voter. Trump being an idiot is sort of his superpower.

Geopolitics doesn’t necessarily work your way either, or shouldn’t. If “Europe,” still a sadly weak concept in hard power projection, decided for its own reasons that it was in its own interest to help the USA in one place even though the Yanks had shafted them elsewhere, they should act. If.

Sounds like a man who should be denied the capacity to do any harm to anyone, anywhere.

Commentary: US war on Iran shifts security considerations for Japan and South Korea The two US allies in East Asia face a choice: cooperate on defence or make peace with China, says political science professor Robert Kelly.

An important point:

Not even close. Use your real names and read a book.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

About time

poisoned tree because they should not be there in the first place. I would agree with that about Russia. But the Islamic Republic of Iran, so called, is not a legitimate state or govt. It is a criminal terrorist gang of murderous tyrants that needs to be terminated. Makes it more complicated.

Merely bombing an oil refinery is not automatically a war crime. It depends on very specific circumstances. But if your case is that the US attack on Iran is itself criminal in the same manner as the Russian attack on Ukraine, then you would be consistent to see everything they did as fruit of the

You don’t actually know what carpet bombing is, do you …

Ask an Iranian protesting in the streets if they think your question is in fact the “right” question.

Not necessarily. Bombing an oil storage facility is not automatically a war crime.

They should not be there at all.

Sending a warship called HMS Prince of Wales east of Suez into an active battlefield because of some vague deterrent mission always goes well

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Operational Excellence, Strategic Incompetence The president and his advisers are in the grip of “victory disease.”

Donald Trump is pointing to missions in Iran “as if the excellence with which they have been conducted somehow constitutes a strategy in itself,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

No comment on Russian involvement in killing Americans?

That’s not the case. Trump, Orban and Lukashenko are all threats to Europe.

Honestly the contempt I feel for Dubai 'ex-pats' isn't based on class so much as their willingness to embrace a life of luxury and excess in a society propped up by slavery, exploitation and human rights abuse as though they were living in a JG Ballard novel they refuse to understand
