So it was nice knowing everybody. . . .
It is 10:15am on the west coast and NBC and ABC are covering the escalation of violence between Israel and its enemies. In a titanic wave of irony, both networks are referring to Iran's "retaliatory" missile attack, even as they cheerlead for Israel and the Pentagon's defense against it.
If Iran is "retaliating," that means that Israel started the ruckus. That blows up the propaganda about Israel just defending itself from "terrorists."
If one takes all this at face value, we will all be dead or envying those already dead from nuclear war within a few days.
I do not have a scintilla of evidence to support my skepticism about this CRISIS, but I suspect that we are watching another version of the Ukraine-Russia war that sure nuff kills a lot of people, as the fighting drags on toward its third year with nonstop bullshit perpetually claiming that Ukraine is "winning."
The imperative is war. But if somebody actually wins a war, the gravy train stops.
I also suspect that some other mysterious agenda is at work to establish a new world order.

"Retaliation"
Good catch, F/F
How much longer do you think they will be using that narrative before they are "corrected"?
Same with the videos coming out of Tel Aviv clearly showing impacts while the news presenter is alleging all missiles are being shot down.
Those clips will be memory holed.
Truth , first casualty of war.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
The good thing about all of this
is that now everybody is getting a chance to see how my nightmares have generally started for the last 60-odd years. Just looking up at the sky and seeing white-hot reentry vehicles in the process of MIRVing... Briefly.
If the Iranians are smart, they'll hold back the *really* good toys until the third or fourth salvo, when all the defenses have been saturated and the Iron Dome/Patriot batteries have spent all the missiles from their ready stockpiles. Unless, of course, the insane Israelis decide that this would be a really good time for aboveground-testing their arsenal of nuclear devices. I wonder what they would nuke first?
The dog is being wagged.
Hold your loved ones close. I left work to go home for lunch, just so that I could kiss my wife one more time.

Well rumors are….
that if Israel uses nukes then Pakistan will hit Israel with theirs and who knows what Russia will do since it has treaties with Iran. Could open up a whole kettle of fish.
Pretty sure that Russia gave Iran permission to hit Israel because it’s the only way to get Israel to stop its violence in the Middle East. They know that America is fully on board with the Lebanon invasion.
Kinda funny that Russia is being the adult when Biden said that he was.
I think everyone should take a deep breath and let’s call the wars off. Nuff killing has been done this century. It leads nowhere.

We'll know shorty,
won't we?
Perhaps it will just be another brushfire tempest-in-a-teapot. I'm sure that the ever-so-rational Israelis will tamp down their enthusiasm and penchant for excessive retaliatory measures.
The has the feel of a sea change to me. We and our allies have done the fucking around part, for decades. I suspect that the "finding out" is just beginning.

Perhaps that this was only a coincidence?
But one can not be sure!
Last night people were saying that Putin rushed back to the
Kremlin and that something was up. Maybe once he knew that Israel was going to invade Lebanon he decided to give Iran’s military a call? I dunno, but I was surprised that Iran was attacking Israel today. They have been planning it for 2 months.

Iran Does Not Have Nuclear Weapons
Something to keep in mind.
But Iran does have Hypersonic missiles.
I took notes the last time Iran retaliated against Israel. I found the following comment from Dmitry Orlov very useful. Knowing the details of the incident really smooths out the apprehension.

Populations don’t like wars. They have to be lied into it.
That means we can be “truthed” into peace. — Julian Assange
Fascinating report….
From the beginning Israel could have lived in peace with the Palestinians, but instead it’s been on a path of ethnic cleansing and getting America to remove every country’s leaders that they thought could threaten them. That’s all the war of terror was, not going after some terrorists that were actually ours and Israel’s creations and cannon fodder.
Great point:
Not only that….
But America doesn’t have the skilled people or factories to ramp up its supplies of creating more weapons or materials to build them. Defense companies have been making more expensive, harder to use and less effective weapons because they make the stock holders more money. Plus instead of putting the money back into the company they have been buying back their stock. You’d think that the oligarchs would have been smarter than they have been.

Don't agree with Orlov's last point
I think this is simplistic thinking. There is nothing straightforward about states like Israel and North Korea possessing nuclear weapons. It's easiest to use them as examples because of their extreme respective experiences at least in their respective currently indoctrinated perceptions of those "experiences." I have learned enough that to assume that nuclear weapons policies and plans aren't or can't be irrational or suicidal is simply wishful thinking.

Lots of people were predicting the globalists starting wars
.
after the Rona scam ran its course and here we are with major wars in 2 theaters plus the one being planned for China in a few years.
Meanwhile the globalists are getting stinking rich from weapons sales while the little people are being cannon fodder as usual.
Plus people in Israel are losing their businesses again because of no one being around to work and the tourism industry has fallen apart.

Lol…shitlibs love to recreate reality
.
Quick…who’s president and who has been arming Israel no matter what it has done? How many Democrats have said that they are supportive of Israel?
Also too one shitlib is still peddling the Russian bounty story where they were paying the taliban to kill Americans.

@snoopydawg It's bipartisan bickering
I remember around 1990 there were stories about Paul Weyrich and his ilk recruiting pro West politicians in Eastern Europe as part of the great rollback. But after Clinton came into office the footsoldiers in Eastern Europe were Dems, and the US took over the dismantling of Yugoslavia (a pet project for Hitler during WWII) as well as making friends of the former fascists in Eastern Europe (or their offspring). The Clintons really were Republicans after all. That's the short of it for why the Ukrainian tar baby is stuck on the Dems.
If Iran uses some hypersonic missiles,
things will get messy fast. They can travel up to fifteen times an ordinary missile. Iran's got 'em, Russia's got even better ones. If the US gets involved against Iran, expect one of those babies taking out one of those carriers floating offshore in the Persian Gulf. I suppose there's one of them with Netanyahu's name on it too.
Things just get grimmer. Who would have thought that the insane Trump would be a plausible option.
By the way, I am seeing that people on the right are accusing Harris of doing something, some sly game with her race. Anyone know what the hell that's about?

Candace Owen is the current lead journalist on the story. Then YouTude gave a warning regarding one of her videos and the story has stronger legs. Of course, being a staunch the potential misrepresentation has dissolved in to a communist plot by yesterday. (My thought communist wording is used to create a knee-jerk reaction to part of our population. Watched a video this summer where General Petraeus called the Neocons communists. - sorry no link)
