Israel launches "preemptive strikes" against Iran

  1. Yesterday I posted about how Russia is so busted down/occupied in Ukraine that it has been unable to help either Syria or Iran which has had disastrous consequences for them.

    Works in the other direction too. Not much support for Russia in Ukraine these days from Syria (remember the first thing Putin did when war broke out was to hire Syrian mercenaries?) And now there are serious doubts about how much Iran can continue to supply Russia with drones, etc in Ukraine. Israel is scouring the cities and countryside in Iran taking out anything remotely looking like it is defense related.

    So sad.


    Will Israeli strikes impede Iran’s defense exports to Russia?

  2. Heavy traffic in Tehran of late. Mostly outbound.

    Not sure I would want to be in line at the pump to try to get gas.

    Then again, would not want an electric vehicle either in that environment. Everyone trying to charge their vehicle at once to head out to grandma's house in some shithole in the desert. Not many chargers there. eh? I would rather have a camel. More reliable.

    Trump denies reaching out to Iran, threatens to 'come down so hard' if Tehran strikes US assets

    Trump was asked on Tuesday about Gabbard's testimony in March in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, where she said Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.

    "I don't care what she said, I think they were very close to having one," Trump said.

  6. Watch for the small signs.

    Trump just said "We now have control over the skies in Iran."

    Excuse me but: "we"
     
  7. in re: above

    There is a report floating now- didnt catch it, but fox blew past it when I was not able to pay attention- that Israel is examining the possibility of using their delta commando unit to go in.

    Doesn't mean they will. Just sayin, the consideration is in the air. There are certainly plenty of doubts about whether the bunker buster can do the deed.

    It would certainly be more do-able if Americans provided air cover and the like.

    Not sayin we should, just sayin what would make it more feasible if they went that way. Congressional war act might ban it too if Congress got involved. Don't know. Not sure Trump would pay any attention to the war powers act which is unconstitutional.

  9. The goal is to expand Israel.

    Israel is taking over the oil and gas in parts of Syria. Exxon and Chevron are pumping oil out of Iraq.

    Gen. Wesley Clark called it
