The former head of the Mossad is comparing the actions of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank to Nazis in the Holocaust.

If someone said that in the West they'd be accused of antisemitism under the IHRA definition.

Let's spend coffee time playing a little wargame in which the US decides to take on Iran and commit to a full war against it

Look at this map. Where could the US stage an invasion of Iran?

To Iran's east, you'll find Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. A big triple no.
To Iran's south: the Persian Gulf which it completely dominates. No good.
To Iran's west: Iraq and Turkiye. The first a definite no, the second, a no so probable it must be considered a certain. Turkiye will not go to war with Iran for the US and Israel - a war not only sure to decimate it, but a war Turkich people will be fanatically against.
To Iran's north is the Caspian Sea. No use.

Azerbaijan and Armenia present an opening, but how will hundreds of thousands of NATO soldiers get there (let alone undetected)? If they go by sea, they will need to traverse the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and virtually physically go through Istanbul. Not only politically complicated, but a long long journey that gives Iran tons of time to prepare.

Remember the months and months the US took to amass forces for the Iraq invasion? It took 6 months or so - with no interruptions.

The problem is, with Iran, there's no way they're going to simply build up forces near the designated target's borders.

Iran has an arsenal of hundreds of thousands of guided and precise ballistic missiles, satellites in space and eyes almost everywhere. If a war is declared or started, every American asset within 0-3000 kilometers of Iran's borders will be bombarded so viciously no missile defense system will be able to stop it.

And all those dozens and dozens of American bases scattered throughout the vast area surrounding Iran? How will the US defend them under an attack on a scale of 1000 October 7th's combined?

Additionally, Iran has the most sophisticated anti-ship missiles in the world (Russia's Yakhont), of which it probably has thousands by now. This means no surface ship is going to be able to come close enough to Iran to make it an effective striking weapon (is this going to be the first time we get to see an aircraft carrier drowning? I believe potentially yes).

The US will have to rely on air superiority, but this is going to prove a very difficult, almost impossible task. US planes will have to fly a long way to get to Iran (and back), and it has invested massively in air defense systems, including some of the most sophisticated in Russia's arsenal. The US will lose many planes which will take years to replenish, and Iran will be able to target with ballistic missiles and drones all the bases from which they take off in Europe or the Middle East.

Another tool the US will use is cruise missiles fired from submarines: but this, too, does not win wars, and can be costly against a rival that prepared for this.

A full-scale invasion of Iran will require potentially millions of soldiers and will take years. The West is simply incapable of an effort of this kind: where will they find millions of young men willing to die at sea in order to occupy a country thousands of miles away? Today? Give me a break.

All this time the Iranians will be defending their home and their independence. The West will be trying to colonize and destroy them. They will have Gaza on their minds.

I didn't mention Israel because it is virtually irrelevant in this war. Hizbullah alone is enough to paralyze it and keep its military busy for months.

Bonus point: think about what happens to energy prices in an actual war with Iran. 500$ for an oil barrel? 1000$? 2000$? All is possible.

Guess what country will remain the biggest international producer and exporter of oil and gas, and rip all those extra many, many trillions. You guessed tight. Russia. If the Persian Gulf is up in flames, Russia will become a global economic superpower (at a time when the US is dwindled militarily and economically and cannot even fake a military threat against it).
-
Another bonus point: you think Iran cannot, or will not attack on American soil? Think again. From cyber attacks to large-scale, professional, military-level sabotage and guerrilla warfare, in a war with Iran life in the US will definitely not be business as usual, and not only because inflation will be something 200%, and thousands of dead soldiers will return home in coffins every month for a long time.
-
The US cannot win a war against Iran. And I believe all parties involved know it. The only thing that remains unknown is how insane and self-destructive the US has become under Netanyahu's and AIPAC's, how shall we call it, influence

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.

Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.

I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.

Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known.

Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group.

There's a reason nobody has ever done this.

It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.

[David Miller @Tracking_Power]

This is pretty clear evidence that this is a false flag.

Looks like the Zionists have now launched at least three attacks on the UK - a drone attack at Akrotiri in Cyprus, the ballistic missile attack on Diego Garcia - and now four (about to be) decommissioned ambulances in Golders Green.

What is the purpose of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ if they can't stop these attacks or even admit they are happening?

To be clear, if those in charge of security, intelligence, policing and prosecutions are not willing to deal with these threats, they will open themselves up to charges of treachery, in due course.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Just days ago, Iran negotiated and granted the US everything it could possibly want regarding its nuclear program. The US responded by killing its leader and bombing civilian infrastructure, killing many innocent people.

How can anyone negotiate with that?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Keir Starmer in 2020, when Trump assassinated Iran's Qasem Soleimani.

The biggest conman in British democratic history.

[China pulse 🇨🇳 @Eng_china5]

Iran did not close the Strait of Hormuz; the United States did.

They knew it would destabilize West Asia, so they secured Venezuelan oil in advance.

The peace talks were just a distraction. Attacking Iran was the plan from the start.

[David Miller @Tracking_Power]

‘Tel Aviv’ is a giant human shield.

With a huge military base: The ‘Fortress of Zion’ directly underneath.

Every accusation is a confession.

Israel is still burning people alive in Gaza.

And the world has the audacity to call this a “ceasefire.”

Have a backbone. Fuck the nations league. Have a friendly against Palestine on the same date. They're not a legitimate state, they're not in Europe and they're actively committing genocide.

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

The confected hysteria over 'globalise the intifada' when of course the only thing that had been actually globalised was genocide, and the only people to actually end hundreds of thousands of lives were Zionist Jews

[Ian Carroll @IanCarrollShow]

There's no jewish conspiracy guys.

Just the jewish head of the jewish state that ran the jewish pedophile blackmail ring meeting with all the jewish handlers of America's government.

Nothing to see here...
