The Middle East Thread

The US most definitely does not want a war.

ISR definately wants to involve the US in a war against Iran, if it can (but i don’t think it can accomplish this myself). The US most definately do not want a war with Iran.
I understand we have different very views here and I understand you may just discard what I say about the US not wanting war with Iran, but I say it anyway. Have a nice evening :slight_smile:

Typical leftist thinking.

Not too sure about that.

The US might not want to go to war directly but they probably do look to stoke conflicts to supply their weapons.

As far as Israel-Palestine and the greater issue goes , the US definitely doesn’t want a war there.

Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions. Thats the beauty of free thinking! Okay okay…maybe us the US don’t want a war with Iran but a lot of the politicians who have stocks with the Military Industrial Complex wouldn’t mind one :joy:

Sometimes I am (actually very often, if I am honest) struggle to take certain parties in the ME seriously.

Iran is a bunch of poons. Just shit or get off the pot.

We shall see. I still think they will do something. It’s very damaging for them to promise revenge and ballistic missile strikes and then do nothing (for their own deterrance). But I hardly mind myself if they do nothing and claim it is part of getting a Cease Fire Deal:

But the Middle East is a region where actors often use exaggerated words, one must note (though I for one do not doubt for a second that Israel is eager to retaliate disproportionally, because everything about the Gaza campaign so far has been disproportionate).

Maybe Iran is playing opossum! :joy:

I don’t know. But if they want to attack with surprise, that wouldn’t be the worst thing to do probably.

But I don’t know about this. A lot of the Shia sources I have read are adamant that there will be a fiery retaliation against israel. I think Iran will face some blow back from their supporters if they do nothing tbh. Time will tell. I am not going to try to predict this nonsense.

But Iran has now started military exercises, so if they want to attack, then I suppose tonight would be ideal.

Why would an Israeli channel broadcast this???

Because they will not suffer any punishment, and they know it.

Maybe because some people in Israel have enough integrity to not agree with what the government does?

Tiring to see such carnage with little military purpose. Cruelty is the point (Collective Punishment to Break the Will of the Enemy and impose a deep psycological trauma where Oct 7 goes into the national memory as a Nakba Day so no one will ever think of repeating it and so on- it’s been clear since forever that this is why they want this kind of high collateral) . I don’t fucking care if Hamas use these Schools and IDP stations as safe havens, it’s not ok with so much civilian collateral to kill 5-10 Hamas militants.

If it wasn’t clear by the what I wrote, it’s obviously strong images that some probably should not watch.

Frank Gardner , Chief Security Correspondent with the BBC , was being interviewed in the days after the assassinations of Haniyeh and Shukr. He quite calmly made the point that since Israel had just demonstrated its ability to kill Hamas and Hezbollah leaders with precision strikes then why did 40,000 people (thus far) have to die.

Their ‘human shield’ alibi is laughable. The fact is that they want to kill as many Palestinians as they can before they are , eventually , forced into a ceasefire. The ‘most moral’ army in the world is little more than a conscienceless and indisciplined rabble exacting summary justice on an epic scale.
