    Nah, this is prison politics. Israel is a raft in a sea of hungry sharks. They are going to feel like they need to strike back, harder than ever, to keep Iran on their heels and show the rest of the sharks not to **** around (and find out).

    Is this the "Israel is surrounded by barbarians" argument?

    It's not a credible one anymore.

    Because we as a society study fascism and the concept of dehumanization and what it leads to. It's the whole woke thing.

    It's 100% credible.

    Unless you are one of the barbarians.

    You are ground zero for the dehumanizing.of large groups of people on this message board. Your words have no value on his matter.

    The US policy is and has been a multipolar middle east since Bush.

    It's easy to call for a ceasefire when it's not their neighborhood, home, and family being scouted for destruction and death.

    David Friedman:

    "
    Biden tells Bibi to “pocket the win” from last night’s Iranian attack and not respond.

    Last night —-

    — 300 cruise and ballistic missiles and UAV’s shot at Israel from Iran

    — most of the country forced into shelters in the middle of the night

    — Ben Gurion airport closed to all flights

    — psychological trauma across the nation

    — cost of missile interception at least $1.5 billion

    Only Joe Biden could call this a “win.” We can and should thank God that it wasn’t worse, but Biden’s advice will destroy Israel’s power of deterrence — essential for its safety and security."

    Iranian media is approaching CNN/MSNBC levels of disinformation.

    Iran's media has been state controlled for decades. They've played charades feigning freedom of the press, but have broad powers which they use all the time. Iran has the highest number of journalists jailed in the Middle East.

    All that said, the amount of propaganda, and disinformation in the US media these days is an abomination. Doubling, tripling, quadrupling down, and so on regardiing the big lie...really sad state of affairs.

    This is a must-listen and the comments a must-read.

    The Biden Regime is beyond corrupt.
