Israeli soldiers and officers have confirmed to Haaretz, Israeli newspaper, that commanders ordered troops to shoot at crowds near aid centres to drive them away, even though it was clear they posed no threat. 550 have been killed near aid centres and 4000 injured. How does the Israeli government react? By calling it antisemitic and blood libel. How do Israeli supports react? By saying Haaretz is lying and IDF is the most moral army in the world. They live in an alternate reality separate to the whole world where facts don't mean anything and where they think the world is so stupid that they can just defend anything Israel does by saying blood libel or that is a Hamas talking point. And we wonder why they are not letting journalists in.

Donald Trump’s Russia diesel deal is a joke. The 300k & 500k tons promised translates to 2.2M & 3.7M barrels over two months. Since the US burns through 3.6M barrels of diesel a day, this entire multi-month deal provides less than two days of US consumption 🤣🤣

When do separate wars become one world war? Ukraine and Iran are increasingly connected, with the US and Russia involved in both. At what point do two separate conflicts become one global war?

If anyone was confused to why the iranians have been so confident the last 2 months, you are now finding out - bonds destroyed, highest ever diesal price, mortgage rates reaching 7%. All before mid term elections. All because of a war based on lies.

Why US Can't Stop Endless Wars

Scott Bessent: “The final stage begins today.”

The more you use the dollar system as a weapon, the more you make the case for countries to create an alternative. Looking forward to seeing the US attempt to apply dollar restrictions to china 🤣

While millions of Americans struggle with healthcare, housing and even putting food on the table, many are starting to ask why the US always seems to have money for foreign wars and Israel. And that question is coming from both the left and the right.

The US may have expected another quick war. Instead, it is facing an opponent that has spent years preparing for exactly this scenario, while warfare itself is changing faster than Western militaries can adapt. Cheap, mass-produced drones and missiles are changing everything.

Guys if the economic situation in iran becomes dire, they will just break the naval blockade by force. They are not going to wait for their economy to be destroyed. This whole D day economic strategy ain't going to generate iranian concessions.

Trump said “no more wars” and then launched one of the biggest Middle Eastern wars. So did Trump really decide to go to war, or is he operating within a much larger system that keeps driving US foreign policy toward war?
24
Crazy to think the strategy of the US is to put more economic pressure on Iran. Guys they have been under sanctions for 47 years and now you are threatening their civilisation. Dont you think they will endure? And if things get bad why wouldnt they escalate and break blockade?

Trump is using the same talking points of 3 months ago. Clearly he has not idea how to resolve this. So he's going to continue doing nothing while depleting the strategic petroleum reserve.
21
The US can produce around 600 Patriot missiles a year, while Iran can produce missiles and drones at a much faster rate. If that gap continues, how long before Iran can achieve missile and drone dominance?

The US has pulled its most critical refueling aircraft back to Israel. If Iran eventually decides to target those KC-135s, it could bring Israel directly back into the war. So why are these aircraft so important to the US campaign?

Has trump given up on manipulating oil market? No axios leak of an immenent deal between Iran and US. Has the boy cried wolf too many times?

What military options does Trump actually have left in Iran without risking a wider economic crisis? The US is already stretched on missiles, aircraft and ships, but what would another escalation actually achieve?

So this hormuz agreement that bessent and trump promised will be finalised by Tuesday, are we going to get it? How many times have they said a deal is imminent without show 🤣

Unlikely because Saudi started this war by attacking yemen. Yemen was retaliating. The defence pact will come into force if someone attacks Saudi unprovoked not to support saudi's offensive actions. That's why pakistan hasn't been involved in the latest fire between Saudi & yemen
So if Yemen fires a drone at Saudi Arabia, will Turkey and Pakistan bomb Yemen? Because that’s what the defense treaty signed today does.

Fars is reporting that the US & Israel will be barred from using hormuz as part of Iranian law 🤣. And hostile nations that attacked Iran will need to provide compensation before passing through. I dont see how donny is going to accept this. But does he have a choice?

It's true that the US has good amounts of ammunition but the ones allocated to middle east are nearly depleted. So if US wants to escalate they would have to take Europe and Pacific allocations and will have 0 defence against china or Russia. Incompetence to the highest degree.
