A really interesting post but, there is a lot to unpick here - your friends close to the Lebanese border for instance.. how long have they been there??

I have had a few beers and feel a reply tomorrow is best.

Moved there about 18 months before it all kicked off mate, wanted his daughter to start school in first grade rather than start here then move later, his wife's wanted them to move for years though and was offered a really great job. Ironically what was happening here spurred them into finally making that move as well, case of frying pan into the fire...

Can talk about it more later, enjoy your night
 
I specifically avoid most pro Russ sites about the obvious, as find zero enjoyment over seeing death and destruction of anyone and by proxy most weirdly are pro Palestine also. The worst ones are actually those run by westerners btw, it's a very strange phenomenon which I can't quite get my head around. The same goes for pro Ukr sites sites and channels - all seem to be enjoying it just a little too much (another reason I stay away from the subject on here as there is an element of that clearly here also - thankfully very very small)

Israel I'm torn on as I have friends there with their families - one very close to the Lebanese border, very good people, and I'm fully aware that anyone in Hamas or Hez would gladly kill them all purely for being Jews, similarly Israel seems to feel the exact same about any Palestinian regardless of age, sex or connection to any group.

Israel have zero interest in stopping, I'm stone dead certain on that, I can speculate why this tine they won't stop and it's not really anything to do with Oct 7th in truth but it's kinda getting into the realm of speculation but here goes.

Iran eventually will develop nuclear technology, at which point Israel cannot act against them again. Iran is better owning close to the other superpowers and technologically increasing at an alarming rate via a Vis Israel - both become future existential threats. The proxies of Iran will over time just become stronger as Iran does.
Israel has the full support of a still interventionist USA, but given the domestic issues in the States - can that be guaranteed in perpetuity - no it can't.

So Israel I think has taken what it believes to be it's last "guaranteed" window to "solve" the Palestinian problem once and for all.

I fear what we've seen thus far is still just the tip of the iceberg.

Btw on a tangent, the Israel-Pal-USA-Ukr-Rus situation - I can envisage a world in which trump offers Rus what it wants in exchange for them sekking Iran down the river.
Well the dynamics in regards to the Russia/Ukraine situation will change i think if Trump gets back into the White House. Trump certainly will be more sympathetic to Russia and Putin i think.

For all the talk about Russia, North Korea, China, Israel etc, Iran could and probably is emerging as the number one threat to global security imo.

If Ukraine are seen to win and Putin falls, his house of autocrats will be destabilised. If Putin wins he and his fellow dictators will be emboldened. Russia are the driving force trying to overthrow democracy and the rule of law. Iran is a side show. The outcomes in Ukraine could reshape the global balance and the future of democratic governance for generations.
 
Bit of a random thought here but what was the name of the guy from Texas who used to post on here quite a lot a few years back, probably 2016ish ? Was seemingly sound but then turned out to be a massive trump fan and it all went downhill and he ended up leaving here, going to Twitter and getting into arguments with loads of Everton fans on there due to his MAGA boner.

TexasBill ? TexasBlue ? or something

There's one individual in particular who seems to always middle finger everyone he or she disagrees with. It's the sort of behaviour that's more befitting of savages in the jungle.

Is this how you respond to everyone who disagrees with you in real life about something? These passive aggressive finger salutes are very vague, if you have a problem then why not state what the problem is in words?

There's a really big juggernaut coming straight at you, crying about opposition views on the internet when those same held opinions are criticising the mass murder of innocent women and children kettled into areas of concentrated mass to guarantee kill-for-buck.

A very poorly held view point of yours. I'd keep a lower profile for a bit. But common sense aint common.
 
It's a badge of honor when someone with maga brain worms blocks me!

Funny to see the host of brain addled loons who've turned up on this thread over the past week/
I guess we're seeing the long term side effects of ivermectin.
And such a global reach, shame not one of them lives in the States!
