Israel and Iran

Yup, people will ask, "Another Middle Eastern war?" Saw one fellow saying if we just let them know we have an eye directly on them, they might just feel they are being targeted and might stop. Who knows. Try that first, then take it to the next step. Something needs to be done, though. This is outrageous -

Yup Oceana has always been at war with Eurasia https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/19/middleeast/netanyahu-hamas-war-mission-reelected-intl/index.html From the United Nations to NGOs and even influencers, critics of the way Israel is waging war against Hamas in Gaza are not in short supply; even US President Joe Biden has decried its “indiscriminate bombing.” But if there’s one area where Israel is arguably beyond reproach, it’s in the consistency of its stated war aims: • Destroy Hamas so it can’t fulfil its goal of repeating the October 7 massacre. • Bring back the remaining hostages held by Hamas. There are other aims, such as reestablishing deterrence to Israel’s foes, and reassuring Israelis the state can still protect them. But those were the main ones – until last week. In recent days, a third objective has unashamedly wormed its way into the open: getting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reelected. It began in earnest about a week ago, when US calls were growing for the Palestinian Authority (PA), which administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, to take control of post-war Gaza. Netanyahu’s response: Not on my watch. In comments to lawmakers, the prime minister claimed the Oslo Accords – a series of pacts between Israel and the Palestinians which laid the groundwork for discussions on a possible future Palestinian state, and which he previously said he would honor — had caused as many deaths as Hamas’ October 7 massacre, “though over a longer period”. Later that day, Netanyahu – whose reputation as “Mr. Security” lies in tatters, and whose popularity has plunged – was at it again. “Gaza will be neither Hamastan nor Fatahstan,” he said, referring to Fatah, the largest Palestinian faction, which was instrumental in the signing of the Oslo Accords, and continues to control the PA, which administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. -
Oh, I know that, but I was pushing back against the idea he will easily win. Biden may not be popular, but the public will be given a choice--we hope--and Trump has A LOT of baggage. Trump can win. If there is a terror attack like Israel saw I'm sure Trump would see a bump in support

The Ukrainian president tonight held an unexpected press conference to discuss the state of the war and strategies for the new year. Zelensky kicked off his address by stating: "This is a difficult year that is coming to an end." However, he told Ukrainians never to lose "our resilience", adding: "We are fighting for a future to be chosen by ourselves not the Russian Federation." In order to do this, the embattled leader said the Ukrainian army has asked for an extra 450,000-500,000 men to be drafted. "This is a sensitive issue," he said, but stated that he "needed more arguments to support this idea." When asked if there was any possibility of "defeat", Zelensky confidently responded: "No." He said: "We are not ready to give up, to let go, from day one to the last day this will be the same... and together we can bring this victory closer." https://www.the-sun.com/news/9898844/zelensky-ukraine-mobilise-5000000-beat-putin/ This is more true of Netanyahoo. The massacre in Gaza ends, and he is out
