    The IAEA released a statement that Iran wasn’t holding to their non-proliferation agreements. Acknowledging that Iran is in the process of making nukes depite what they claim.

    UKMTO was warning mariners of heightened tensions on June 11th

    About the same time the US was evacuating non essential people from Bahrain, Kuwait and similar places

    The people in the know were aware that Israel was getting a liiiiiitle more hands on with Iran’s nuclear program. Nobody seems willing to get involved to support or stop it.

    That would give any third party a good cop bad cop negotiation position. Have Iran make a deal with them or let Israel continue to have some quality 1v1 time

        Well again, we were told by our president earlier this week our ally Russia was handling Iran and that was why we should just step back and let them fuck up Ukraine.

        Meanwhile, our good friends in Russia and their state controlled media has been cheering on destabilization of the U.S. and the production of a civil war being created in L.A. by the POTUS

        Enjoy the military parade this weekend. I wonder who could have inspired that brilliant idea? 🤔

        Also, a friendly reminder once again, the original members of the Heritage Foundation spent a lot of time in Russia prior to and immediately following the collapse of the Soviet Union, helping to create Russia’s very first “free market.”

        They also established centers for freedom and democracy. Despite everything that would seem to indicate Putin despises democracy, Putin liked the idea so much, he created one of his own.

      Meanwhile, Trump has suddenly been playing that good guy cop role very hard over the last few days and acting like he was actually urging Netenyahu to stop the war in Gaza.

      He agreed to back away from the Russia Ukraine conflict and allow Putin to retaliate against Ukraine with as much force as they want in exchange for Russia allegedly keeping Iran in check.

      And in Israel, Netenyahu failed to pass a law that would keep his most conservative base from being drafted and subject to the same laws as the rest of Israel. This risked his position of power and led to a vote on Wednesday that would have dissolved his government. It didn’t pass, but the vote proved he has lost support due to the way he’s leading his country. 24 hours later and once he was reassured his power was safe, he does this and makes comments that he had Trump’s full support before Trump actually commented on anything.

      Also sounds like Netenyahu is very much planning to invade Iran, and parroting similar talking points made by Trump earlier this week.

        Yeah, the Iranian government is tyranny for sure, but calling an Israeli invasion “a liberation from tyranny” requires someone asking the Palestinians how their liberation is going…

        Trump and Elon don’t need to be smart enough for fucking “5D chess” when this basic ass distraction tactic works so damn well.

      Israel seems to have a history of “come up with plausible sounding excuse then go too far”. So my money is on this getting very bad very fast.
