Bibi and Vlad could end his career, so he does what they say.

The fact that this is a stupid war doesn't change the other fact that Hezbollah exists and that the Lebanese government can't control them.

Also, when there's *actually* a full scale invasion as opposed to the usual targeted operations then maybe there's something to talk about.

The middle Eastern tribes have despised each other for thousands of years. The land will become fractured and ungovernable for decades . The only good thing to come of this may be a push away from fossil fuels.

Bebe gets what he wants, Putin gets what he wants, Trump gets what he wants, innocent citizens and gallant soldiers die, and the Billionaires rake in $ like leaves falling from trees!

What's not to love?

But the zealous Israeli settlers can just go into Lebanon and claim the land, once Israel clears out the people who used to live there, right?

But after invading Lebanon, Israel always pulls back to its borders again. It's not really a land grab. In my view, it's more like Orwell's vision - "The war is not meant to be won - the war is meant to be continuous."
Keeping Israel at war keeps Bibi's position stable & prolongs his career.

Lindsey Graham is actually responsible for this. He was running around the world and got Netanyahu and Muhammed bin Salman to back attacking the Ayatollah, and of course the idiots in the White House fell for the dumbest idea. And then made a dumb idea worse with their cruelty and incompetence.

Donald, his donors and the people who support him did everything they could to make sure their trafficking ring could continue to kidnap, assault and murder people legally, under the cover of the government and its laws. Anyone who supports him or funds him is complicit. The Trump Files.

According to what Im reading, Putin is giving intel to Iran about US. Why isn't this a bigger deal. Didn't Trump bend the knee to his best buddy? But no one is talking about this?

Trump called out the NFL when players kneeled during the National Anthem, protesting police brutality toward blacks, but Trump can wear a baseball cap during the arrival of fallen soldiers? Trump was hawking his $55 merch

Just reminding everyone that if you don’t like Iran’s Islamic authoritarianism, it exists because the US overthrew a secular socialist Iran in 1953 because BP was losing oil profits.

How many countries have to be involved before it becomes World War lll?

Let's get real:
Sounds about right that Fuck Face raped and tortured children, separated them from their parents at the border, caged them in his concentration camps, starved them to death by eliminating USAID, and now bombing them to death in Iran. He should be charged and arrested for war crimes.

We bombed the hell out of the Vietnamese for many years. They never surrendered. What happens next when you bomb people and they still won’t surrender?

The Pentagon says it's investigating the strike on the girls' school in Iran that killed over 100 ages 7-12. Somehow the war criminals investigating war crimes doesn't fill me with confidence.

Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock

If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

Why was Trump wearing a baseball cap when receiving the fallen soldiers?
Disrespectful moron.
RIP to the soldiers. This Canadian respects them even if Trump does not.
I can't believe it...he really thinks soldier are loser eh?

And Witkoff likely believed it when Russia promised that they wouldn’t do it

Right now, Iran is firing off hundreds of CHEAP missiles and drones (that can be quickly manufactured) every single day, and most are being shot down by VERY EXPENSIVE interceptor missiles. These interceptor missiles are difficult to produce, and in short supply.⬇️
