The apartheid state of Israel is a terrorist regime, along with the USA. America’s economy has always been afloat with war, oil, and drugs. The majority of sheeple in America are brainwashed, mind-controlled, or just plain ignorant. The truth about the American government is as ugly as it gets. The American government does not, and never has, valued human life; it has prioritized power, money, and control. Unless you speak out, your silence is compliance. Thanks for speaking out against these murderous child killers!

Trump is just a Zionist stooge. We need look to dismantle the Zionist political infrastructure infesting the US, like the ADL and AIPAC

"Why the hell are our fighter jets defending a genocidal ethnostate like Israel?" Well, the question is that "our fighter jets."

It turns out they aren't "our" but "theirs" fighter jets. And when I say "theirs," I mean the plutocratic minority that rules the US and part of the globe. If anyone still believes the US is a democracy, I have a cathedral to sell you. Let the flags not blind us to who's really pulling the strings behind them.

Using the military against its own people is definitely not the act of any kind of democracy I can think of.

Protests appear to be exactly what they were hoping to provoke. The show/conman in chief likes a spectacle, thinks it appeals to his base, wants so badly to have a pretext to repeat what he did in PDX in his first term, to Chicago, LA, Seattle, etc. now.

Israel must be disarmed, which essentially means the USA and Europe must stop supplying the Zionist entity.

In order to do that, you need to dislodge the Zionist lobbies that have our political systems by the nose.

WTF does not everyone realise the clear and present danger of 🇮🇱 to ALL humanity?

Imminently.

If anyone wipes our species (even Zionists) off the planet, it will be 🇮🇱

The time to act was many decades ago.

We have been sleepwalking into it. The sh.te that's been pumped into our heads for years. Sadly it's taken the suffering and slaughter of the Palestinians, for the real expose of our governments and the establishment

Indeed. Israel has been part of a long-term project by Western countries particularly the US to destroy the Muslims for 75 years! Generations of politicians have fucked around and destabilized Muslim countries. Now the US uses its military might to enable genocide AND begin a long baited war with Iran. Wake up people. It’s the US government!

"talks between the US and Israel were underway for a nuclear deal"

I think you meant to write "talks between the US and Iran were underway" Cheers...

Forgive some paranoid rumblings, but...Trump likes to manipulate the stock market for his friends and other "insiders." This works out splendidly, since when he says certain "nice" things, the market soars, and when he says certain "bad" things, the market tanks.

It seems the dictator can also use Israel to achieve the same ends. The "insiders" are, of course, informed of the imminent market moves a few days in advance. This gives them time to sell shares and buy puts if the news will be "bad" or to cover shorts, buy calls, and go long if the news will be "good."

Israel attacked Iran. The price of oil spiked; the markets headed south. Is anyone surprised by the outcome? Is it too great a leap to imagine this was all planned ahead of time for the benefit of the privileged few?

An old adage instructs us to "follow the money." Unmitigated and relentless greed are always dangerous, and yet more so when accompanied by elephantiasis of the ego(s) and Zionist imperial ambitions. Naturally, the UK and US governments, along with the main-stream media (all save THE GUARDIAN), will say nothing critical of the latest outrages.

No, no, no Ricky. The US (and UK) are not being drawn in to rescue Bibi nor Israel. The US wants war with Iran (to cut off oil to China) but wants a proxy to do it to avoid blame and retaliation.

They seem to have fooled most of alternative media.

I think newspapers that quote someone's F words are exaggerating a bit, like in interviews or citing X posts. But I think Ricky doesn't use enough them. I feel my circulation beat that tiny bit faster with each one.

It's received wisdom, and yet I can't credit it: Milekowsky (as his father was known before changing it to "blend in in the Middle East") is waging war "in order to stay in office"; and here we are rooting for Iran. You couldn't make this up.

As for enlistment à la carte, Ricky, I suspect that asking "Can I specify particular conflicts that I am not prepared to lend my firepower to," will likely be viewed askance by the recruitment office; if you're ever called up, the choice of battlefields is generally not negotiable. I suggest requesting the procedure for conscientious objection, since it covers all such eventualities and is probably more in my line, and yours too, Ricky. Unless the conflict were, hypothetically, to be against Israel, when I imagine you'd probably be first in line. At last age has its benefits, but I do wonder sometimes what wars the young-uns have ahead of them.

Conscientious objection is not the easy way out. A great uncle of mine took that route in WWII, lost many of his friends, and in the end said it'd have been easier just to put the uniform on. But it wouldn't fit his conscience.

If they can, the Iranians will definitely build some nuclear weapons now. The sooner the better as far as I am concerned, because that would bring Mutually Assured Destruction to the Middle East.

I am fond of MAD. It saved my life, and most of you reading this would never have been born without it. MAD is peace through fear of annihilation. You can say it lives up to its name all you want, but it works.

Perhaps if Iran could drop a sufficiently large bomb on Tel Aviv, life might become better for quite a lot of (mostly forgotten) human beings.

What right has the US got to go to Iran and tell it what it can and can't do? And have the gall to call this visit 'peace talks'!? It's not up to the US whether Iran has nukes or not nor should it use sanctions to force them.

Let's all just remember, the US is the ONLY country to have EVER used a nuclear weapon in an act of war....

Sanctions on America is a must, the sooner the better. Also kicked out of the UN, too often it hasten the only one to veto, time to veto America. Especially now as it tries to draw the world into yet another war - do not buy their lies again, we all knew the WMD was a lie, but the fools running our government couldn't wait to join up, Australia's PM Howard was deploying the military before the announcement had been made. There were a lot of marches and sit inside against but he was so up Bush's arse he could not even have been surgically removed.

Loving it Ricky. Bravo for not allowing yourself to be dragged into future conscription. I fear for the not so intelligent young British men and women though.
