General Discussion

thing that concerns me. Just like in Iran, when a country is at war, its population tends to come together, and frequently become increasingly conservative. In this sense, I mean more likely to support their government's actions. There are mixed reports on how the Jewsish population in Israel views the current violence -- some reports suggest that Netanyahu is losing support, and others that suggest it is increasing.

Another thing is that the fella running against Netanyahu is about as horrible a human being. Add, of course, that when I speak of Netanyahu, I am fully aware that he is surrounded by a number of people who are just as bad. So if the MoU holds for the US and Iran, but doesn't hold for Israel in Lebanon, if Iran stays involved, will the president come to their rescue? Because in a conflict between Iran and Israel, it would seem Israel loses without Uncle Sam playing body guard. And there are indications that the president is no longer fond of Netanyahu.

Would Netanyahu resport to nukes? If much of Israel is being devastated, the chances increase. Now, something I was going to post about ten days ago -- after researching it a bit more -- were several reports on podcasts featuring ex-military and intelligence officers had to do with Iran's ability not to make a nuke, but to access one. That Marco was informed of this, hence the president's insisting that Iran not buy one. Now, others can disagree with me without risk of hurting my feelings. but I suspect that this is the same as Turkey.

Turkey is concerned about Israel's on-going theft of lands they mistakenly believe belong to them. As I've noted previously, when Netanyahu planned to send a group of Kurds to invade Iran, Turkey was opposed to having armed Kurds on their border. The VP was aware of this, which is why he leaked the Israeli plan to Turkey, who then got the president to stop the plan. This, of course, was the exact reason why U.S. intelligence recently reported on increased Israeli spying on U.S. politicians -- specifically Vance.

Turkey recntly sought to buy a nuke from a third country. It is a country where the military are militias overlap to a large extent. Without mentioning Pakistan by name, they assured Turkey that if push comes to shove, they will provide them with one. Keep in mind that a large militia from this unnamed country (Pakistan) was prepared to enter Iran and fight on their side. So from what I have learned, it is likely that if Netanyahu resorts to nukes, Israel will be hit by one.

This is insane. The war has significantly weakened the US and Israel, and made it a close contest as to which of the two now leads in the most hated country on earth. At the same time, it has strengthened Iran and convinced Arab countries that America cannot protect them. This obviously isn't a good thing. President Obama and John Kerry had made a great deal with Iran, which was working and definitely should have been continued. At least in my opinion, that was a heck of a lot better than our losing the war in 2026.
