International News War Room: Iran v USA

Stranger said:
For me the big worry is that Netanyahu is a loose cannon who ignores international law and international opinion. I can see him dropping a nuke on Iran if he wants to deflect even more from his criminality, and all the mayhem that would then ensue.

And while Israel is surrounded by countries that despise it, the hatred doesn't stem from nothing. In fact the UK carries a large amount of the blame for the method in which Israel was formed.

There are an awful lot more people to blame on what is happening before the UK
 
I'm fully aware of the history of WW2 and the holocaust and I never claimed that the creation of Israel was, in itself, wrong (plus, the creation of a state founded on a 'right to return' has led to huge problems is Israel, many of which are directly responsible to the land-grab and illegal settlements on the West Bank). The way it was achieved though was utterly appalling with Palestinians whose families had lived in the same place for generations evicted with no notice and their homes and land given to Jewish refugees. Two wrongs don't make a right, especially when the new settlers were massacring the Palestinians even back then to ensure they left for Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Your comparison with the UK is both crass and irrelevant.

I don't think Trump is likely to abandon Netanyahu as he would risk losing the support of the American Jewish lobby, which is both powerful and an incredibly useful source of funds for anyone expressing pro-Israel/anti-Palestinian views.

It gave us some mighty fine pop, that's how we dealt with things back then, none of this crying on social media...

Two Tribes is an outrageously good tune.

Wars used to have good soundtracks. Vietnam for example.

The theme to world war 3 is going to be some awful tiktok music.

The lunatics have taken over the aysulm
and I cannot see how these can be changed, if no one can change the objective of killing people on a wanton basis , there is very little chance of peace,no one seems to learn from history , the crusades did’nt achieve much
 
Reports that the US bombing has set Iran's nuclear program only a few months.
So if true, what do they do next ( Trump and Hegseths comments on the success of the mission exaggerated?)

Does seem the ceasefire is holding up as it stands. Some thinking time for all sides.

Iran is without question a worry. If they become a nuclear power they pose a huge danger for international security. A huge amount of global terrorism is linked to Iran. I wouldn't put it past Trump to wait for this to calm down but then launch strikes again at what he sees as an opportune moment.

I'm sure at some point China are going to find their moment to make a move on Taiwan. Everything seems to be coming to a head at the moment. Not a good time to have a weakling like Starmer in charge.
 
Trump now comparing the bombing of Iran to dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
 
Well this will please the Iranian protestors who were in London couple of weeks back calling for regime change. :)

Also interesting to compare the new precision of warfare versus the old style "Shock & Awe".
