Great. A compromised Bibi wants to be a hero to save his own political skin at home. The rest of the world be damned.

No more aid to Israel period. It is the ONLY way out of this.

It was fairly inevitable.

Will there be War now?

Real shooting war in the ME.

All so they can finish the job?

Like that would be a first?

Americans dying for Israel?

Not likely.

Does that apply to Ukraine too?

Israel is a NATO ally. Ukraine is not.

Israel is an extension of America.

It gets granted certain privileges.

It's not a member of NATO, but some sources say it's unofficially a member.

However. Israel is a member of MNNA, Major Non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization, along with 18 other nations.

Nope, not NATO. Indeed, the US designates Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand, and Tunisia. as "Major Non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allies." Again, and quite specifically, not NATO.

Ally, not member.

This is why NATO allies (us, UK, France) helped shoot down Iranian weapon systems.

At this point, this seems like an elaborate face-saving psy-op by Israel and the US.

No missiles.

Microdrones likely launched from within Iran by Israel-aligned spies.

The Iranian Foreign Minister had previously issued a statement about decisive retaliation at the UN which constitutes official declaratory policy on Iranian deterrence policy. Apparently, more rational decision makers in Israel took the statement seriously.

Comparing Israel to Ukraine is asinine.

It's hilarious how those who called anti-Iraq war folks Chamberlains are fine with letting Putin take Ukraine.

Meanwhile, they'll throw their support behind a belligerent nation that gives us the finger until they've bitten off more than they can chew, then runs and hides behind our skirt.

You know that game you played as a kid where you stack your hands with another person and you keep pulling one out to be on the top? Israel does that with bombs.

I have some decent pics of the nuclear facility at Esfahan. I took them on a flight from Doha to Dallas that went right by it.

I'd post them if I had any idea how to do that.

The missile strike destroyed the S-300 radar system while leaving other related equipment undamaged:

Images showed that the precision attack at the Eighth Shekari Air Base damaged or destroyed the "flap-lid" radar, which is used in S-300 air defense systems to track incoming targets. ...

Other areas of the air base and adjacent airport also appeared to be undamaged. The precision of the strike, deep within Iran and with several sensitive sites close by, suggested Israel chose the specific and narrow target, the air defense system.

Israel to Iran, you aren't safe.

Ukraine did not invade Russia but Zionist Orthodox Jews repeatedly invade Palestinian lsnd an pretend God gave them ownership . Ukraine is in a battle for survival and morons pretend fighting the war NATO should be. The least we can do is to provide the ammunition they need so they can continue fighting the modern era Hitler, Europe will rue their cowardly reluctance to welcome Ukraine as a full member of NATO.
