USrael’s War On Iran
Comments
Jordan playing it’s role as the air defense of israel:
From M.E Eye:
Jordan’s state news agency reported that it intercepted a number of missiles and drones that entered its airspace after being fired by Iran at Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel’s public broadcaster reported that Israel began intercepting drones over Syria, while the country’s Channel 12 reported that its air force was intercepting UAVs over Saudi Arabia.
Here are some of the latest updates:
• The Israeli military has said it has begun intercepting Iranian drones outside of its borders, more than an hour after they were launched by the Islamic Republic.
• Hamas has condemned the attacks, and has urged the international community to take “a unified stance to deter” Israel and “put an end to its crimes”. Hamas expressed “full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran” and offered its “deepest condolences” to the Iranian leadership and people for the deaths of senior commanders and nuclear scientists
• The Republican Guard-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported that six nuclear scientists were killed in Israel’s attack on Iran
• Israel’s military says more than 100 sites were targeted in Iran and that over 200 fighter jets took part in the attack. In a social media post, the Israeli army said that they believed “three senior leaders of the Iranian military and security establishment” had been killed
• The Times of Israel reported on Friday that Israel’s strikes on Iran were enabled by “breakthrough intelligence” obtained by Israel in the past year
Awesome air defense, Jordan! Pity in only works in one direction …

War! What is it good for?
Put Your Heads Between Your Legs And Kiss Your Arses Goodbye!
Our generations kids and grandkids will be conscripted and sent to become screaming minced dust as always in some corners far from their homes. While their children if they have any, siblings, parents and grandparents all starve to death at home.
We will do it eyes wide open because we will now be equally attacked. That will give us righteous anger where we don’t deserve it. Egging our canon fodder on! Like we have been trained to do in the recent decade.
Trained smugness. Trained saviour complex
Hatred of the Other through trained xenophobia, against the rising multipolar and global south – Russia, China and the base racism.
Trained obedience – the purpose of Covid conditioning.
On top of the conditioning by the boogie man at the turn of the century The War on Terror!
Many of our deluded families and friends will be cheering as they send their bow to West Asia (Palesburg) and East Asia (Formosa).
They will be encouraged by revenge as our collective western cities, all the worlds cities, soon start burning.
Thousands tens of thousands killed by the bombs and missiles. Whether it is the inevitable retaliation-fire or the guaranteed false flags.
Why, oh why? Because like the proverbial goldfish we don’t understand our lives beyond our lifetimes.

One can only hope this is the Divine Hand of Darwin at play and that it will work out for the best for Iran – weeding out the stupid and lethargic and bringing in the more vigorous warriors with a proactive killer instinct and an aversion to being bombed in their sleep.
The IRGC is pretty close to becoming a gerontocracy anyway (as is Iran’s leadership for that matter).

Thank you for confirming this. I have been saying exactly that for 5 years now. It is part of the bigger picture of which we see yet another chapter unfolding this morning.

Is everyone forgetting that Israel has nukes? For only one reason — to nuke Iran, PREFERABLY BEFORE they get nukes.
So much wishful thinking here by the anti-Israeli brigade, ***of which I’m one***. Why does anybody here think Iran is gunna win this??? Even up to the point of nukes, Israel has heaps of stuff (land/air/sea) all around, pointing at Iran. Both will surely suffer. But imo, sadly, Iran will come off second best.
So, was this the plan >>>
1, Israel initiates conventional.
2, Iran retaliates conventional.
3, Israel says “Right, Fuck You Iran. Here’s what we’ve been holding for such an occasion”.

How must the Iranian people be feeling right now?
Do they believe their leaders can defend them?
Are they willing to put their lives on the line behind their leader if push comes to shove?
If the West offers them the bait of an easy way out if they just overthrow their leaders, will they take it?
Do they see doom ahead, a future like Libya, Iraq, Syria … or a light at the end of the tunnel?
These are the questions that will decide victory in the end.

Why the outrage about Trump?
Why the outrage about Israel?
Why the disgust at Jordan?
If you have been paying any attention, none of this is unexpected.
Next is simple. Iran hits Israel hard or they don’t. Hezbollah makes a reappearance or they don’t. American air bases get trashed or they don’t.
It all seems quite simple to me. Israel will get away with this as Ukraine got away with attacking Russia’s bombers or they won’t.

Look, Israel actually got stood down with its British and French allies during the Suez Crisis. America’s role in stopping them then is likely why they had to work so hard at totally subverting Congress in the decades to come. President Trump is portrayed alternatively as a hyper Zionist or Netanyahu’s secret enemy. He is neither. He is a Western politician who takes the easy road on some issues while going ham on others.
Simplicius promises that Iran is carefully weighing its options before retaliating. Hey, if they wait long enough there might be some bricks left to throw at their enemies.

Good time girls. Perhaps Iran wont be able to do much damage to israel. Perhaps it will. Israel had total air dominance in Lebanon and bombed the people and would have kept slaughtering them without the truce.
Although it seems Israel was able to launch some missiles into Iran, it cannot overfly the country and bomb the cities.
I forgot the name of the Israeli doctrine which was to mass slaughter the people instead of going after the fighters. No reports of any of Iran’s missile stocks going up yet. Still a lot to launch.

From Gaza to Yemen to Lebanon and now Iran, the colonial state of Israel is responsible for the blood of so many children.
During this whole genocide of Gaza, I came across a quote from Hitler’s book Mein Kamp. I have never read it or had desire to so I do not know if this is true or not.
They want a homeland so they can have a headquarters to plan out their nefarious plans.
Thinking about what the colonial state of Israel is and how it blackmails world leaders and targets people everywhere, I think Hitler was right about the reason for their need for a homeland.

You act as if Iran will not end up in a conflict if it just steps carefully.
A conflict with America is inevitable, once Iran has been weakened to the correct point.
The correct behaviour is to prepare for this eventuality – something which seems lacking at this point because that “eventuality” may be right around the corner.
In such a situation the best strategy is to strike first at something very critical and meaningful to the empire.
Something that will force the empire to recalculate its entire strategy and posture in the region.
That “something” is Tel Aviv.
Remove that and all the Empire’s plans have to be redrawn for the next 50 years.

What is a false cause fallacy?
The false cause fallacy is a general term for the error of attributing causality without adequate supporting evidence.
False cause fallacies are also known by the names questionable cause, faulty causality, and non causa pro causa (a Latin phrase that means “non-cause for cause”).
As a type of informal logical fallacy, false cause fallacies are said to render an argument unsound and represent content-level errors rather than structural errors.
Ground zero for unfounded conspiracy peddling. As opposed to evidence based conspiracies.

China needs to step up its game and help its partners more be it Russia/Iran, otherwise they will face these countries alone in the next years.

A bold notion, but with Jordan and KSA providing air defense for Israel alongside the entire collective West I doubt the very minor Iranian retaliation is going to be removing anything. If Iran had an agreement- even a bilateral one- to trade for uranium with Russia (as America does), the situation would be much better for them. But some fool apparently convinced Iran it would be an unpardonable breach of sovereignty.

Many may hate me for this.
Who’s to blame – it certainly ain’t the ancient Jewish Semites.
It is instead those who used their tales to create ‘Christianity’ as a better model than the wolf raised children; for the next scaled up stage of imperial conquest.
The religion for their slaves and gladiators as it largely remains for most dependents deluded Anglo Europeans marching to war. Singing Onward Christian Soldier.
Whilst the real Caesars owners always held the strings and hid themselves behind that mask. In the Holy See and Bishoprics across Europe and the New Worlds. With a multitude of versions of the Christianity created to suit the different peoples and their naturally enimities against their neighbours.
Ultimately Grand Masters chose to hide not in that turn-the-cheek, reward-in-heaven, ressurection Christianity, but the same Gods, Chosen Victims! Whilst practicing control through their own Money Makers religion. The secret within secret laughing always at the gullible and fooled religious.
Their bloody sheepskin – wolves as always.
They want to erase their evil history and rewrite it as continued victimhood.
It’s the only consistent lie that will be allowed to stand in their brave new world.
Because from the Holy Roman Empire onwards – through every Christian variation across the slave peoples of Anglo European history – the one constant has been that only ONE God exists and that God has given the Earth to them alone.
The moronic Zionist Christian’s and their dumbest eschatological childlike beliefs are the ones that have ensured the destruction of themselves and their world; the death loving skyfairy slave religion crap. Most of them in deluded, shipped and hothoused in he wide spaces of the US where the majority of eschatology loving Zionists have been nurtured over a few centuries. Isolated from the real majority of humanity.
The self deluded forever owners and their dynasties invented these religions as masks for themselves and mental chains for their slaves have forged the modern western world of the 5+1 eyes. Supremacy. Exploitation. Genocide of whole Peoples and now the ancient historical structures and actual human civilisation. The real human civilsations they must erase so their dynasties can attempt full dominance again in the future.
They obviously do not understand and live their lives as only that proverbial goldfish humanity. They are raised understanding that. They must be captured and controlled and if they insist on fighting to the death. Let them.

Why would Iran launch only 100 drones 🤔 100 isn’t enough to overwhelm the multiple layers of air defense systems.
Maybe they launched them to check what air defenses are active, and who will intervene during the real attack ? 👀

Due to nature of the Israeli attack against civilians in Iran, I’m 100% sure Iran will target Tel-aviv in response.
They should leave the capital and head for Al-Quds if they want to survive.

I believe Norweigian was pointing out an event that marked a continuing escalation ladder from Israel that was never properly countered by Iran. Learned helplessness is a stratagem of war. The escape for a cornered animal is to attack, or run, or do anything different. Laying down is slowly dying.

164 – Over the years on the Internet I have encountered some incredibly naive statements about Turkey, often every time Erdoğan says something. His domestic constituency likes that kind of thing but it means nothing.
In Europe and the USA and suchlike, criticism of Israel encounters the “anti-Semitism” charge. It does not in Turkey where The Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion is treated like a normal book. Someone like Erdoğan may even believe it is substantially true. However his reaction may well be that “they are powerful and I must not stand in their way”.

It’s quite reasonable when a substantial number of higher officers are dead. Iran wasn’t prepared and will likely be behind the ball for at least another day. Then again, their retaliation for Soleimani’s death was very weak, and he was far more important to greater Iranian strategy.

Their allies were the resistance axis. This is why it was important for Iran to fight along side them instead of sitting by the sidelines and playing diplomacy. Iran told the Iraqi militias to stand down after some Americans were killed at one of their airbases.
They are doing the same nonsense now by talking to traitorous countries like Saudi Arabia.

If you believe Russia’s has an obligation then it’s clear you believe in fairy tales.
Russia believes in no such obligation.

Certainly hope that b is right.
Netanyahu’s back is against the wall.
A strong motivation for the false flag of October 7th
was Netanyahu’s criminal trial.
October 7th delayed justice.
Now there is much news of Netanyahu’s coalition crumbling.

This is early AM for me.
I made the mistake of checking headlines just before going to bed.
Lindsey Graham said something gleeful like, “Game On!”.
Couldn’t get that scum bag out of my head while trying to fall asleep.
So I have gotten out of bed to check status.
I would have expected an immediate Iranian response, but as yet there is no word.
Iran has said in the past few months that if Israel attacks Iran then US assets are fair game.
Iran might do it anyways, but the threat gives cover for an Israeli false-flag against a US asset.
Either way, the US is being drawn into “WW The Big One”.
Netanyahu needs another war!
Why hasn’t Iran taken out the Israeli ‘leadership’?
Israel targets other countries’ leadership.
Will Yemen and Hezbollah coordinate their attacks with Iran?

You have no idea how many waves Israel planned. And how many problems did Israel have striking Iran last night? The following are three claims that have floated to the top this morning: They built a drone base inside Iran. They launched over 330 missiles from air and sea into Iran. Also a short video claiming to show IDF commandos operating in Iran as part of the plan to disable Iranian air defenses.

Trump on truth…
“I g ave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to “just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!”

Spot on. Same playbook that Assads Syria did with Saudi Arabia. Guess what? Few months later, he was toppled and that Al-Nusra rat was invited and congratulated by Bin Salman. Bin Salman was also the person that introduced Al-Nusra rat to Trump and asked for lifting sanctions on Syria.
Saudi Arabia is and will not be (even) a partner to Iran. All of that condemnation garbage is for show.

Hah. As usual, President Trump is quite diplomatic considering the circumstances. If Iran has little retaliatory power, I don’t think it would be too late to cut a deal where Russia provides enriched uranium for Iran’s civilian use… which would leave Netanyahu well out on a limb.
But it’s standard Trumpian equivocation. While he very well might end up cheering the Israeli attack, right now he isn’t. Smart diplomats would do something with that.

When Israel attacked Iran’s Embassy in Damascus, attacked Lebanon and murdered Nasrallah and Hezbollah, then Iran had every right to impact meaningful damage to Israel’s armed forces.
It did not. There was just some show-off of PR missile strikes. Spectacular, sure. Considering circumstances, super weak.
Iran lacks coherence and determination, its centre of power seems fractured. For that reason, perhaps it lacks real allies also.

Israel (i.e. the collective West, including US, NATO and various vassal states) has called Iran’s bluff. Iran’s apparent complacency, lack of forethought and ineffective response does not augur well. If Iran cannot seriously damage strategic Israeli resources, I fear it will be remembered as another Iraq or Syria. It has no reason to be like Syria, it has not been compromised by internal war and economic ruin, so it has no excuse for failure at this level. If it behaves like a Brontosaur it will achieve extinction. It needs to think like Ho Chi Minh and fight like a guerilla force.
