"My bet is Israel will go over the heads of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and destroy Irans nuclear capability with these small nuclear weapons.. This must happen sooner than later."

I haven't been keeping full tabs on each sides provocations but I know Hezbollah blew the crap out of Northern Israel the other day, and Netanyahu has passed some law to attack Lebanon, so it's coming.

Netanyahu probably doesn't care about Bidens re-election anymore than Biden cares about Netanyahu staying in power, but Biden is a Zionist.
I think Netanyahu has little choice except to start a war with Hezbollah and hope the US will intervene to save it.

I don't think Israel can take out Iran and Hezbollahs weapons, they're deep underground. Israel might end up biting off more than it can chew, maybe it's banking on exactly that.

I'm not sure Iran wants to get involved.
They're in BRICS and have a military alliance with Russia, peace with the Saudis, selling oil to China, things are going ok for them they won't want a war as much as Netanyahu needs one to save his skin.

"With the exception of Israel. There is now no choice for Israel. It must do Bidens dirty work, making Biden look squeaky clean and free of responsibility for the reckless Iranian JCPOA and appeasement policies which are disastrous to Israel in particular"
Well we can agree to disagree there.
I wish there was a way both sides could just work things out and live in peace but I just don't think it's possible, and think there will be more conflict and that Israel is just as responsible for the situation it finds itself in than anyone else,
I question whether it has a right to exist the way it acts, but I don't wish for it's total destruction or the loss of any innocents lives.
I don't like the endless bloodshed, and I wish the Palestinians had a chance to live with dignity, not be oppressed by a fanatical apartheid state full of lunatic religious settlers that would deliberately break any agreed peace anyway.

Not to mention what will happen if Iran shuts down the Straight of Hormuz, Houthis have already cut a huge amount of Red Sea traffic.
Then you have the Egyptians who are increasingly dissatisfied with Al Sisi's inaction, same for the Jordanians and the Turks who are also on edge and Erdogan has already try to placate.

In some ways it could actually assist a balance of power and peace in the region if Iran had nuclear weapons, but then the Saudi's would want them too, they probably already have a deal with Pakistan to get them if Iran gets them.

I wish the Palestinians had a chance to live with dignity, not be oppressed by a fanatical apartheid state full of lunatic religious settlers that would deliberately break any agreed peace anyway.
Armchair Critic,
Would you have info on Israeli punitive action when there were no Palestinian attacks ?

Recently I've been reading about the differences between Political Realism vs Idealism. Also the different sorts of Idealism from Kant to Hegel to Marx / Classical Fascism. Idealism comes in different flavours such as Naive or Absolute Idealism (Marxism, Classical Fascism). Apparently the Realist school of thought was developed as a Prussian idea.

Common themes among fascist movements include: authoritarianism, nationalism (including racial nationalism and religious nationalism), hierarchy and elitism, and militarism.

I'm sure that militarism doesn't always mean authoritarian- how can you be authoritarian if your people have guns.

Written by someone employed in an authoritarian fossil fuel corrupt racket monarchy of a nation (desiring nuclear too), conducts an inexpert attack on EVs, then claiming the social Darwinist 'realism' suggesting common sense; simply a rhetorical device of Atlas Koch Network used in geopolitics to support Russia vs Ukraine?

Question, why do Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, 'Moscow Mike' Flynn et al like Saudi so much, the same nation that had Khashoggi murdered in Turkey by employees of MBS? Nice.... respect for a gross bypass of ethics, morals and empathy....
