Trump says he bombed Iran

[Oldcarpy2]

I hope most haven't, but is the UK a proxy of Iran?

No.  Obviously.

You, however, are a proxy of Israel.

[quintessentone]

Who hasn't been?

What is meant by proxy by members here? To me, fighting a proxy war is what USA is doing right now with Iran, actual military strikes...actually fighting another nation's war for them. While sending arms to assist a country to fight what is determined to be an illegal invasion, I would not consider fighting a proxy war for another nation. It's a fine line, I'll grant everyone that, but for me it has to do with international law and respecting other nation's sovereignty rights.

Hezbollah is fighting Lebanon's fight against genocidal invaders. Laugh all you want if it does you any good.

Even Qatar's not doing the genocide narrative so much anymore...

Its not really so much Lebanon's fight as the Hezbollah influence in their parliament's fight. Beruit officially opposes both Hezbollah's unsanctioned military efforts AND the massive assault from Israel in the South..

The are stuck between a sharia rock to throw at the devil and a hard (place) line of Israel's want to do away with all their militant proxy enemies once and for all..

This mirrors 1967 in motivation, only its reduced itself to limited regional militants and terror groups within a dwindling number of sovereign nations.  
 
The Genocide narrative isnt taking in gulf media anymore. Hezbollah arent the freedom fighters they once were.

They've gone (especially The UAE) hawkish on war, and currently support the total dismantling of Iran's regional influence and their entrenched proxies as well.

Even though THEY WOULD NEVER OUTRIGHT SAY IT, there is growing tolerance in Oil Arab Land of Israel imposing its regional authority on everything Iran.

The US government hasn't been hijacked by religious zealots, fanatical ideologues and extremists

This isn't a Holy War

We're not being ruled by cults

Nothing to see here

No.  Obviously.

Yes.  Accepted.

So?

I think they have a right to exist.

In Israel.

In peace.

Greenland and Denmark are well covered now, but Venezuela and Cuba, well USA piracy seems to be working, so I would expect no need for any military intervention there, not that any benefit will trickle down to the people should the electricity and fuel begin to flow again. Or is this one of those, you had very little, now you have nothing, now you will have very little again and deem yourselves better off (?)

Genocide is a narrative?

Does that mean every genocide is a narrative?

It's Gaza all over again in Lebanon, there (Gaza) too the people turned away from supporting Hamas once the genocidal carpet bombing began and never stopped. Careful what you wish for you may get it, comes to mind.

Rock and a hard place, yet Lebanese government is letting it ride.

Here again, you have conflicting messaging:

"Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a close ally of Hezbollah, has refused to hold direct talks with Israel unless the fighting ceases and Israeli forces withdraw, warning that any continued occupation would be met with ongoing "resistance." Berri stated that Lebanon cannot tolerate the loss of any territory and claimed to guarantee Hezbollah’s commitment to a full and immediate ceasefire if implemented comprehensively across all Lebanese territories. 
Despite these diplomatic postures, the Lebanese government, led by President Joseph Aoun, has placed responsibility for the crisis on Hezbollah, emphasizing the state's obligation to maintain a monopoly over weapons and aiming to disarm the group.  The parliament recently extended its term by two years to manage the ongoing conflict, which has intensified since March 2026 following Iranian and Israeli hostilities, resulting in significant displacement and casualties within Lebanon."

Israel needs to withdraw it's illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, is the message.
