Dang! Ya beat me to it!

The history books curated by AI will show Greater Israel wasn’t built in a day!

C’mon Man!

Sort of agree. Thirty years ago I would have. Back then there was a genuine want in Israel for peace. The holcaust survivors and recent arrivals from Ethipia Russia, Moldavia etc they really wanted peace. They believed i it. They really believed in land for peace. Thyere a possibility things have evolved. Those people are in some cases gone. Their children born in Israel, educated in Israel, brought up with constant war and terror attacks don't believe in this no more. land for peace has been proven in some cases to be a waste of time. Terror attacks, wars continue. The belief that land brings peace no longer holds much water with the youth these days. Why give the lands back when peace doesn't work, in addition when you can pretty easily take those lands back? From an Israeli youth position land for peace has proven a stupid idea. Time to take it bacl.

It's not their land - period. They are invading sovereign nations and as you say it never brings peace, and IMO that is never the intention or prime motivation to invade in the first place.

In totally unrelated news as we lead up to the midterms in the U.S., which of course this “non-war” has absolutely zero bearing, the DNC released an autopsy on 2024.

It was found zero mention of Gaza, Arabs, Palestine, or Israel as contributing factors.

Makes sense. Seeing as Biden gave carte Blanche at the time, and Trump ran on “No new wars”, it’s not so hard a blind man can’t see. Sorry Kamala, no references to your shining ability either….

Now the turn tables and Trump is in the hot-seat despite the short-lived kicking to the curb of non-MAGA republicans via his patronage and endorsement.

Also totally unrelated is the way America “obsesses” about who endorses which candidate. So interestingly AIPAC has gone out of their way to make donations untraceable through third-party proxies online. Certainly has nothing to do with the “toxic” view Americans hold of the current non-war by non-aggressors…

Makes sense. Our greatest ally going out of their way to conceal their hold on our politicians and thus our way of life.

Oh and let’s not forget “224” which will combine our militaries. Totally not suspect or suspicious at all right after Bibi says he cares not for American taxpayer funding of his citizens and military. It’s straightforward really. Pretty standard for sure. Not treasonous at all.

But hey. Least we ain’t at war and our bases are intact in the ME as is our standing.

Iran is calling the bluff and stating they’re about to go offensive if Lebanon continues to be attacked by Israel.

So should be like fish in a barrel for Trump to wrangle the IDF to simma down.

I also got some ocean-front in AZ cheap for you….

Does that mean I will be seeing plenty of ocean-front mirages in 50 degree heat? lol

Is Iran properly equipped by this time with Russian arms?

"Iran and Russia have deepened their military cooperation through a secret €500 million arms deal signed in December 2025, under which Russia agreed to supply 500 Verba man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) and 2,500 9M336 infrared-guided missiles over three years to rebuild Iran’s air defenses damaged during the June 2025 war with Israel. 
Beyond this specific deal, Russia has supplied Iran with significant military hardware, including:

• Su-35 Fighter Jets: A contract for 48 advanced combat aircraft to be delivered between 2026 and 2028.
  
• Mi-28 Attack Helicopters: Up to six units delivered by January 2026, despite active Russian use in Ukraine.
  
• Yak-130 Trainer Jets: At least one squadron delivered starting in 2024 for pilot training.
  
• Tactical Equipment: Spartak armored vehicles and Orsis T-5000M sniper rifles, which have been observed in Iranian military exercises and used for internal security. 
  

This military aid is part of a reciprocal arrangement where Iran supplies Russia with Shahed-136 drones and Fateh-360 ballistic missiles for use in the war in Ukraine, while Russia provides Iran with advanced conventional weapons.  Analysts note that while these supplies enhance Iran’s capabilities, the Verba MANPADS are limited to low-altitude targets and may not significantly deter high-altitude U.S. or Israeli strikes."

Well, i think it's a safe bet to suggest the Iranians are not up for surrender.

No matter what Trump wishes to call it.

Ah. In that case I have a palatial beach-front on acreage.

But yeah, Putin knows the U.S. has pulled all aerial defensive measures from Ukraine, for uh, somebody more important or something. In a different theater of non-war and stuff.

So game on! Dang. I heard Ukraine almost won the thing too. A shame really. This whole “let’s test out our toys on other peoples’ families before the big matinee across the Pacific!”

Gotta dial
in Lavender and tweak the antijamming capabilities a bit more. Then Showtime!

Oh and let’s not forget the suspected Chinese missiles that downed an American aircraft.

But yeah. Not a soft-opening to WWIII. Like not at all.

Keep in mind that Hegseth pointed out that America’s stance on Taiwan hasn’t changed.

So “Strategic Ambiguity” a go-go.

As a side-note when I first heard this decades ago, I couldn’t believe such a thing existed.

Yet here we are (cue loud kitsch game-show music) playing chicken with China still in 2026.

Heck no Techno! Trump has no hand to play for his yuge legacy. 
Iran holds the Strait and can I get a confirmation that the Red Sea is about to be closed too?

Now if we could just get those 1M displaced Lebanese to quit attacking Tel Aviv & Jerusalem!

Oh. Wait a sec… UNESCO sites and Beirut. My bad yo.

Can my cash down payment also be viewed as a mirage?

Taiwanese youth are connecting more and more with China/Chinese culture and as one Chinese leader said, we can wait for 100 years for them to come back to us.

Why do I think USA and Iran will end up back to square one where prior Presidents knew would be the only place to land? This is not about nukes, it's about Israel first, IMO. Once that genocidal Zionist maniac gets enough of whatever he thinks he wants or needs for his wet dreams to become reality, then he may stop, but I'm not holding my breath because his expansionist goals include a few other countries, yet to be invaded.

[andy06shake]

Not that Trump is wrong, but he's also projecting all over the place, if indeed the call went the way it's claimed...
