Does anyone here have a guess as to why Israel is trying to solo the entire
Arab worldMiddle East in the middle of an ongoing colonial uprising?I can think of two possibilities:
- They’re copying Nixon’s “Madman Theory”, where by being violent and unpredictable they can extract greater concessions from their opponents. This is your “De-Escalation through Escalation” they were talking about a while ago.
- Israel now views this as an existential conflict and is trying to disable their opponents while they still have enough munitions to do so.
I hope they lose
Iran isnt in the arab world
The fuck, how did I just learn this today

Yeah I’m already not looking forward to all the times I’m going to have to correct people referring to Iranians as “Arabs”

Sorry to be daft, but what’s this Russia supplying Iran with air weapons thing?
deleted by creator
Very cool and interesting. Thanks for the effort post.
including along the Finnish-Russian border
FFS
Modern Russian air defense systems, in particular the S-400s, will neutralize NATO/Israeli air superiority against Iran.
Is there something special about the technology, or is it just that Iran has poor air defense and generic tech would fix that?

S-400 is possibly the best AA system in the world that is in serial manufacturing (there’s also S-500 which is even better, but afaik still in testing). For comparison, in 2019 Iran shot down most modern US stealth drone worth 200 million with old Soviet missile from 60’s and using domestically produced radar and guidance system.

Israel doesn’t solo anything. They are a hand of the US wearing a blue and white flag
They may see with the US risking getting into a war with Russia and wanting a war with China that their own time to pull the US into a conflict to settle the region’s problems in their favor using the might of the US is quickly drawing to a close and will likely not exist in a few years so why let a crisis go to waste when they can try and get the US to take out Iran and Hezbollah for them which would allow greater “isreal” to become a reality. It’s an expansionist mindset too. Also fascists gonna fascist.
The only way towards de-escalation is coming to the negotiating table with Hamas. Negotiating with Hamas sets a bad precedent and, in the long term, compromise’s the entity’s ability to keep Palestine down. Their economy is already severely compromised as it is, so I think that going out with some kind of last hurrah and trying to accomplish all their goals at once is probably more appealing than having to back down, recover, and attempt to do it all again a decade from now.
because the US wants this – gotta get WW3 nice and hot without having the blame
US is out here using WW3 to unify it’s own citizens who are currently heading towards civil war behind jingoistic wartime patriotism, while also being a huge boon to the US economy through wartime production.
WW2 was great for the US, why wouldn’t WW3?
that seems pretty on the mark. i recall my high school teacher talking about WW2 as if it were one of the greatest things to ever happen in history
The realpolitik ghoul reason would be that they’re trying to start a big enough war that the only way the US can secure its interests in the region is to get directly involved, saving Israel from the consequences of its other aggressions.
But I don’t think it’s actually realpolitik ghouls in charge, I think they’ve just got nazis at the helm, and nazis think that all problems can be solved by attacking the weak, and all people are weaker than them.
Here we go. Now did they have an ounce of sense and just pound the desert and a few unimportant places and claim otherwise in their propaganda so Iran has an out not to retaliate in kind? Or more likely did these deranged zionists hit important things and Iran has to hit back even harder and kill US troop scum manning their air defenses as well? At which point the US can either leave with its tail between its legs like Reagan did Lebanon in the 80s or escalate in some way including potentially war.
I hope the people of Iran remain safe regardless of outcome. I hope the colonizers of the zionist occupation continue to feel and be very unsafe as they should be until they stop their genocide and dismantle their apartheid regime.
I just want these fucking people to be able to live their lives. These genocidal freaks need their capacity for violence wrested from them because they are making hell on Earth by hurting vulnerable people - especially children.

is it apartheid south africa? sorry i’m dumb.
Rhodesia maybe
Were they actual military targets or just apartment buildings and hospitals again?
you forget that those hospitals are hamasbollah
apparently they struck “across the city of Tehran” according to US state tv news
timed with Game 1 of World Series?
Not how I was expecting to get reminded the world series started

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
So like, this is the end of Israel yeah? I just don’t see how the Israeli state can continue
They’re really pushing it. Motivation wise I’m genuinely hoping it’s dome Hitler style being bad at war but cynically, the mire fronts you open the more likely to get America directly involved.

So good bye Gulf state/American oil refineries and hello potential oil crisis 2.0? or would this be an exaggeration?
It seems like it’s a bit early to tell. Iran doesn’t want to escalate, if these attacks are limited they might not up the ante, like last time.
presstv is playing this attack down, saying limited damage and their air defence did their jobs.
the american government has gone through great pains and effort to ensure that opec no longer has the leverage it did back in the 1970’s.
It would have been less humiliating for the zionist regime to have just apologized and did nothing.
