Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised the West is twisting the war in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran as some kind of success.

What's been lacking is the protests in Tel Aviv not reported so much other than a few brief mentions. People say Nethanyanu is the Minister of Crime. Not just corruption but wanting to change the Judicial system for his own benefit. The genocidal maniac will do anything to maintain his power and not face the vote or justice.

Talking about a regime change in Iran whilst running from the democratic process in his own country.

Thousands protest in Israel over ‘attack on democracy’ by Netanyahu

Protesters accuse PM of continuing Gaza war for political reasons and ignoring plight of hostages still held by Hamas

www.theguardian.com

There is also duplicity in the Iranian regime. They say nuclear weapons are un-islamic yet they seem to have encouraged Hamas to attack civilians killing innocent people and taking them hostage. Bleeding turban heads can justify anything they like to them selves in their deluded minds.

What would be marvellous is regime change in both countries; Israel and Iran imho.

You just couldn't make this shit up, honestly. How Israel and the US can get away with these illegal acts of aggression and justice is just absolutely unbelievable. They have now lost the high ground imo. So have the West aka EU countries.

Papers and national channels quiete as a mouse. Whilst the genocide in Gaza continues along with the demolition of Palestinian homes by settlers now openly attacking and burning down homes. It's like being back in the middle ages. Western civiilisation has lost its tongue.

On the other side, Europe openly encouraging ongoing continuation of war in Ukraine, despite a shortage of men to fight. Ukraine trying to recruit foreign fighters.

Ukraine continues to lose territory.

Dogs of war in the US and the West rub their hands with glee at the additional hard working tax payers money that will go to fill their pockets whilst social services and infrastructure are further degraded.

The capitalists - top 1 % will continue getting richer. Have people lost their senses?

Just absolute madness.

There was also news that the attack on Iran coincided with the great silk road railway line running from China to Iran bypasses US sanctions. In future, the US and Western blockade of Iran will be useless as Iran and China trade will increase considerably.

US and the West are becoming good at taking a bad situation and making it considerably worse.

Iran also now preparing ground offensives when the next encounter takes place. Iran has said that they will also engage US troops in the ME. This situation is not over and there is already talk of the ceasefire not holding. Trump would like it to hold but I fear there are other actors wanting to continue with the war.

Saudi Arabia is also looking at selling oil in other currencies as well as the dollar. I suspect as trade further moves East, the dollar will weaken.

Trump's tariffs are polarising East and West divide and this will only further deteriate Western markets. It seems response is to spend more on weapons and less on social infrastructure.

It seems the West favours war over trade.

Empires these days are built over economic trade, research and technology. Not military weapons. Over confidence where those with big muscles and small brains, usually win the first fight but in the long run will lose the battle.

I am increasingly worried about the next 10-20 years as we are not leaving a good world order to our children. We are braking the very rules we setup after WWII. I think we should all be concerned by what our leaders are doing! 🙁
