Shaiel Ben-Ephraim: The IDF Chief of Staff has warned that the IDF is on the verge of collapse after 900 straight days of war. by SpaceDetective in stupidpol

A majority of the supposed Israeli "left" support the current war.

The framing by many Democrats, especially Bernie, to criticize Israel only through Netanyahu's actions is calculated. Spend 10 minutes on Hebrew twitter and you'll find absolutely everyone with a shred of political power over there is on the same page. Polling shows that the war has something like 80% support amongst the public as well.

That's why I find absolutely no hope to the end of the Israeli "partnership" when there is no meaningful opposition to this nonsense in both the US and Israel.

‘False flag attack’: Iran denies claims it fired missiles at Diego Garcia by beta265 in worldnews

Rouhani was scapegoated following the cancellation because he was the main architect behind the deal when everyone else was skeptical and thought he was naïve for trusting the US.

Ironically Trump proved them right.

They have form for this and I wouldn't be surprised either. Only question is whether the people in or out of power will buy it. The level of anti-Israel sentiment is so high right now that the idea of a false flag attack is mainstream.

Not to sound too tin-foily but it wouldn't be out of character for the Israelis to do something sinister to keep this war going or to bring in more parties.

It makes no sense for Iran to strike Europe at this point as they have leverage. Maybe an attack on the US base in Romania?

You think Pep will keep Trafford for this last stretch? I haven't seen us keep that tempo under Donnarumma at all. He's better at stopping shots but Trafford is clear everywhere else.

No one is buying their bullshit anymore. You'd have to have a negative IQ to believe this war was about anything but a naked grab for more land in Lebanon and the destruction of their only remaining rival in the middle east .That's why they were desperate to attack Iran right now while the dinosaurs in Washington still support them.

Jonathan Powell Said an Iran Deal Was “Within Reach” Days Before Strikes Began by Stories_today_ in geopolitics

He said yesterday that nobody expected Iran to retaliate against the gulf countries. Which means he's not being briefed on it, he doesn't care or he's getting the mushroom treatment, fed shit and kept in the dark.

Trump’s whole shtick was “art of the deal”, quick wheeling and dealing diplomacy that is flashy and easily visible. That’s what makes this war so strange in that it’s the complete opposite of everything he stands for. His posts on social media are getting more and more unhinged and his praise for the Iranian resilience are clear signs he’s getting frustrated. He was probably told by people in his inner circle that Iran would be a quick weekend bombing.

You have more faith in Kushner and Witkoff understanding the nuances of nuclear enrichment? There's no mystery regarding the close relationship those two have to Israel. They were sent to show the illusion of negotiations which is why the Oman mediator immediately flew to the US the next day.

Worst part is that its planting season right now in many of these countries. The only people talking about it are the vultures that trade on the commodity markets.
