Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

[Ian]

Why is an announcement made beforehand instead of just doing it? It seems such a preannounced plan is likely to fail if revealed before the action is initiated. But, in this case, is it a warning to Trump to cease hostilities? And, now we see what Russia alluded to about "possible radiological catastrophe."

It would appear that this war can and will escalate beyond the pale. (Pale horse anyone?)

Yeah the situation is very serious, and I hope it’s just a warning for “Trump”.

Again the "attempt to stop" Trump after bombing a country and now days after doing the same. They describe themselves as the movie cops, always coming to the end!

Keep celebrating.

I would hope that more critical leadership in the world would observe and learn from what Putin is doing.

For a long time I think (besides otherworldly protections) there are some very concrete and pretty easy things he is doing:

First: He doesn’t have and/or uses any cellphones. And likely also close people like his bodyguards don’t use them at least at crucial times.

Second: He seems to use another pretty simple and low tech solution: unpredictability, meaning, that when exactly he goes where and how seems always fluid and not set fixed in stone beforehand, and probably Putin himself decides without telling anyone when exactly he goes where and how.

In such a high tech age such low tech measures can be pretty effective I think.

So I hope that at least some of Irans leadership are doing something like this.

I wonder if it’s to do with the fact that the Iranian command is a ‘mosaic’, decentralised structure rather than having a centralised command. And so maybe they’re using social media posts like this to communicate to each other what their individual teams plans are?

I'll warn them too. Watch out, I'm going to strike there soon! What are you planning to do? Or maybe I'll strike somewhere else, or maybe not, I'm undecided, we'll see!

Best thing I heard, Kim Jong Un:

We can send Iran rockets if they ask. Although only one would be sufficient . . .

The US regime is using its usual terror techniques: Bombing schools, hospitals, resident areas, for a maximum death count with terrorism as a bonus. It's the same strategy since the 50's or before. Even HogSeth talks openly of "death and destruction" as if channeling a demoness. The Iranians know they cannot defeat militarily the US and NATO alone (because they are alone, don't count China or Russia or whoever). The strategy apparently is that of attrition, where the goal is to survive (there is a saying that resistance wins by surviving) while the attacker exhaust itself and collapses. What people tend to overlook is the economic consequences outside of the region. Even EuroNazis consider maybe receiving some gas from Russia, though they attacked a Russian ship in the Mediterranean (with no consequence).
As for the torpedoe incident, while it smell nazi-like, during WWII even the nazis after torpedoing a ship, they didn't let the sailor to drown. We've been in the worst than nazis for some time now.

Well said. "Hogseth," I'm borrowing that!

A lot more has happened, but I don’t want to spam, even tho I’m spamming a little bit, but I just think these are important info. In short, looks like Iran and Hezbollah are bombing Israel heavily… Gulf countries are also still being hit

That's ok, so long as you're keeping an eye on what's already been posted in the thread, 'breaking news updates' are appreciated by those who aren't tracking developments on X, Telegram, etc.

Hegseth is gloating that it's the first torpedoing of a ship since WW2.

It's also Nazi-like to do a sneak attack on a vessel that is far from the 'war theater'.

As for the torpedoe incident, while it smell nazi-like, during WWII even the nazis after torpedoing a ship, they didn't let the sailor to drown. We've been in the worst than nazis for some time now.

Yeah, turns out even the Nazis weren't as dishonorable, and it was, in fact, the Allies who started this particular "spiral of dishonor":

Pete Hegseth said this was "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since WWII" (which is false, but that's beside the point), so I decided to look at what happened in WW2 and... this might surprise no-one: turns out the Nazis were more humane than the Americans.

Probably the most abject part here is that the warship had many survivors - 32 to be precise (https://apnews.com/article/sri-lanka-iran-middle-east-ship-sinking-69191dde43154c5176a8aeacc9128748) - and the U.S. made zero effort to rescue them, despite it being required by the laws of naval warfare and simply being the honorable thing to do.

It took little Sri-Lanka, with its very modest means - especially compared to the $1 trillion US defense budget - to do the honorable thing and launch a (successful) rescue operation.

Even the literal Nazis, during WW2, rescued the survivors of ships their U-boats sank. It was considered a matter of basic honor.

The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconia_incident).

The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn't get attacked during the rescue.

That's when a US B-24 "Liberator" bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed.

The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery...

This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the "Laconiarefehl" - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high.

In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea. Dönitz at least had an excuse.

The Anglo empire has accumulated a LOT of karmic debt. Eventually, something will have to give.
