President Biden said Thursday that the US and Israel were discussing the possibility of striking Iran’s oil facilities in retaliation for the Iranian missile barrage that targeted Israel on Tuesday, which was a response to multiple Israeli escalations.
When asked by a reporter if he would support Israeli strikes on Iranian oil sites, Biden said, “We’re discussing that. I think that would be a little… anyway.” The comments sent oil prices spiking.
Striking Iran’s oil facilities is supported by the ultra-hawkish Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). “These oil refineries need to be hit and hit hard because that is the source of cash for the regime to perpetrate their terror,” Graham said in a statement on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Biden said he wouldn’t support Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, but the US is vowing to ensure Tehran faces “severe consequences.” Israeli officials have told Axios that they plan to hit Iran hard and believe their attack could lead to a major regional war.
Options being considered besides striking oil facilities are targeting Iran’s air defenses or carrying out a targeted assassination inside Iran. Israeli officials have said that if Iran responds to their next attack, then any option is on the table, including strikes on nuclear facilities.
Israel is coordinating its plans to attack Iran with the US because it wants the US to come to its defense in the event of another significant Iranian attack. If Israel wants to carry out a significant strike inside Iran, it may also need support from the US military.
Iran fired about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel in response to the Israeli assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and the Israeli killing of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Abbas Nilforoushan, an IRGC commander who was killed alongside Nasrallah.
FJB, FLG.
I'm glad you included him. Yes. That's the Lindsey Graham war. One day, Stephen Spielberg will make a movie about it like the Charlie Wilson's War.By the way, that movie is categorized as Comedy/War. Only sick FU@Ks like us would have War movies with millions killed made into Comedies.
I don’t know. A couple of good ones like Dr Strangelove, or how I learned to love the bomb or Mel Brooks and the producers.
Sometimes comedians break through more than straight news as well, mocking horrible things like George Carlin, and not in the same greatness category (and I don’t always agree) but Jimmy Dore has done a fairly decent job.
Editing to add: Lindsey Graham is such a clownish character it wouldn’t require much comedic embellishment.
Agreed. You’re my brother. Jimmy Dore is on my daily must watch list.
I used to subscribe to Jimmy Dore until he started spewing all that anti-environmental garbage a year or two ago. The environment being the most important issue, I no longer support him. I still watch occasionally because he's still really good on anti-establishment and anti-war issues, but he and Kurt should be ashamed of themselves for their anti-environmental crap.
Lee Camp, while he doesn't present anywhere near as well, has superior politics to Dore's, because he's pro-environment, while still being anti-establishment and anti-war.
I am an environmentalist myself. I saw Jimmy’s Podcast the day he changed his mind. He was trying to prove what you’re saying and pulled up the graphs. I could see the disappointment in his eyes when he realized that the Clim8 Cri$i$ relating to CO2 being a pollutant was a hoax. As of that day, I respected him even more. He had the courage to review the data himself and changed his position although he knew he would lose viewers. CO2 is plant food. It’s not a pollutant. And by the way, do you remember when they said the Arctic will be ice free, it was cold, dry, and wet because it was hot?
Reality of losing the election on the altar of big Z may be dawning on even the dimmest of the Dems like our sadly reduced president and his never-that-sharp vp.
So, you think $10 a gallon oil may affect Arizona, Carolina, Michigan …??
Biden doesn't even know what day it is. This is being all pushed through and carried out by A Blinken and Amos Hochstein
Kill 'em all Israel. Rack and stack those worthless Christian and Muslim bodies, for you are the CHOSEN.
ASG's been updated to include more comprehensive thoughts on Ukraine. Some good parts on Zionism and 9/11 as well, if you haven't read in a few weeks. Control + F "July 4" is easiest to skip ahead:

This sort of talk is precisely why Zionism is good, and necessary.

IRGC DEPUTY COMMANDER: If makes a mistake, it will endanger its existence. Iran is a large and spacious country with many economic centers, while Israel has 3 power stations and several refineries, and we can strike them all at once.
Iran is being foolish. It has yet to realize it is dealing with a psychopathic snake. Sensibility would be to take out the snake now, and be rid of the problem.
That might apply if there was one, and only one, snake. That's like saying taking out Biden would rid the world of the US problem.
Correct! That's why the only effective solution is for humans to evolve mentally and spiritually so that there are no more wars. Unfortunately, this is both a long-term solution, and seemingly very unlikely, but we have to try.
We shouldn't forget that in a bigger war, Russia and even nuclear Pakistan would side with Iran. If Israel uses nukes, it would be legitimate to nuke Israel out of existence.
iran is pathetic
Racism ain’t becoming to you
not racism – facts
What facts ?
One pertinent fact might be “Iran is not a race.”
Ouch ! True but gimme a break on that one. It might be tensions to list the dozens of ethnic groups that live in the multi-ethnic country of Iran 🤣
Stay safe – suspect you prepped long ago for bad weather and flooding
iran is a pathetic nation
Iran just do happens to be the safest place in the world for Jewish people these days.
Are you an anti-Semite ?
i’m jewish
and Iran?
Safe for Jews?
Please entertain me some more
Better than being GENOCIDAL OF women & Children….!!!!
I reminded to what tribe belong those two. My comment was deleted. Probably, it was considered "antisemitic".
And who profits from spiked oil prices? The same oil companies that brought you the 2003 Iraq war. And who profits from another Middle East war? The same MIC that brought you the last dozen wars. And who profits from chaos throughout the world? The same US neocons and oligarchs that brought you the last dozen wars and the domestic divide we have today.
And what can you do about it? Nothing. Because you still believe in the validity of the state. And you have zero control of that state. Because you're weak and scared.
Suckers. Morons. And probably, soon to be dead in a nuclear war.
Have a nice day.
This would be seen by China as an attack on China's oil security.
It would be, that would be one of the major motives in the DC neocon bloc.
Officially China does not buy oil from Iran. They do of course at a discount. China will have no problem in finding other suppliers. Just may cost a little more.
Russia is a very dependable business partner, ask the Europeans, they know. The USA is an unreliable business partner or ally, ask the Germans, they do know.
Yes, as I've said in my Substack articles, the neocons have to take out Iran first because otherwise Iran will supply oil to China in the upcoming US-China war while not shipping oil to the US. Probably taking out Iran's oil is an "acceptable" alternative, despite what it would do to the world economy. Neocons don't care about the economy – only hegemony.
A war between the U.S. and China would devastate both economies. And that's assuming that it doesn't end in nuclear war, which of course would be the worst result possible.
Agreed. China better wake up its sleepy Giant Panda A$$ quick. It's not cute anymore.
Does Biden know, does Congress know, that a vote is needed to declare WARS? Biden, his Administration, Congress, need to stop LYING to the American People. Tell Americans YOU WORK FOR ISRAEL!
Congress declaring war, as required in the U.S. Constitution, has not been the case since the Korean War in the early 1950s. The horses have left the corral on that score, and they aren’t ever coming back.
if israel stops for anything can they leave so i can have more rus news?
not that I don't know about it but y'know… this is more fun
Morons. We need a new category for environmental crimes against humanity! Seriously, whats the carbon footprint on blowing up oil wells?! Biden is no better than Netanyahu…so where does that put kamala….same same it seems. New election platform from the Democrats, armageddon, it's better tgan fascism!
Kamala is not her own woman. She is just a placeholder for the real bosses of the left wing of the war party. She'll rubber stamp whatever she's instructed to rubber stamp.
Neither "candidate" is worth taking the time taken to get off the couch.
There is no real common sense left to be seen, she is a nothing, a blanc sheet, that is why they picked her for VP in the first place.
The real bosses own both parties, left and right, makes no difference to them.
Yes, and she's already done some horrible things because of that. Look at her record in California: keeping prisoners locked up who the court ordered released because she said that releasing them would interfere with the state's prison slavery program, jailing parents of truant kids, etc. Attacking poor people like this is as right wing as it gets. She'll do whatever the ruling class asks her to do, and they love her for that.
The U.S. has no left wing party. The Democrats & Republicans both represent the rich & powerful, which by definition are right wing. If by "left wing" you mean woke BS and other nonsense, that's not left wing, it's just woke BS. There is virtually no left wing in this country.
She is the woman who came in fourth in the California Primary in 2020. Fourth. In her home state. What does that tell you?
Coming in fourth in an election you withdrew from several months before isn’t too shabby.
Love you, Sam. You probably meant that in your post. But I would like to spell it out. Biden/Demo Rats don't give a rat's A$$ about carbon foot prints. If all the wars that he and the Demo Rats started do not support my sentence above, then nothing will. That mental lock they have on our kids is used for distraction, control, and taxation.
the NS 2 sabotage supports every word you posted.
Yep, I know it, but I am constantly being jolted by the sheer insanity of it all, it causes my mouth to run ad my fingers to type…bt alas , it’s about as effective as
don Quixote fighting windmills.
YES! That is exactly how I feel. You are not alone.
Neither does "drill, baby, drill" Trump. He has said he would deep six the EPA and the NOAA. OSHA is also on his chopping block.
A real protector of the citizenry.
The carbon footprint will be similar or worse than the Nordstream sabotage, which itself was the largest single intentional release of GHG in human history.
The POLLUTION aspect, however, and environmental damage could be an Exxon Valdez multiplied by (ironically) Kuwait's burning oil fields in '91.
Permafrost melt in Russia is a concern. Massive amount of methane gas is being released into the atmosphere.
The DemoPublicans do the bidding of the donor class, which cannot be touched. President Kennedy presented too much os a problem for them, and this includes Israel.
Why Israel? Just prior to the assassination, President Kennedy and Ben-Gurion exchanged terse letters over Israel seeking to develop the bomb. President Kennedy felt the need to discourage it, reasoning that Israel with the bomb would be much more aggressive in the ME.
Basically, both political parties in the U.S. have choke collars around their figurative necks, the other end of the leash controlled by Israel.
Why? I wish someone would let me know. Makes zero sense.
A very bad idea!
He only has 1 month to get WW3 started before the elections.
So long as it happens before 2030; I think that was the critical deadline put in place by those seeking strife and discord…
Just buckle up, it’s going to be a rough ride.
I suppose Trump, Vance and Kennedy will ride to the rescue. Or, will they find a bunker, like the rest of us?
Looks like it already started.
They need a big event before the elections.
And they are reaching down to the bottom of the barrel for a big event, more war crimes. Which they need like another hole in the head.
Since they tried to murder President, IN PUBLIC like they did Kennedy, I would not be surprised if they try again. They’ve already set Iran up to be the patsy, it’ll be a twofer, Trump gone and we must go to war against Iran to punish them.
Who is "they"? Who tried to kill Gabby Gifford?
“Who is ‘they?'”
The snakes in T/V/K’s head.
I don’t know what to think about it. The execution of it was anything but professional, so was the second attempt even for amateurs it was 2 botched up attempts. Add that nothing the officials say can be believed, no telling what happens until we see concrete evidence. Anything is possible. I don’t trust Trump either.
I’m in California and I will still vote for Kennedy.
He could be a good influence in a Trump administration, he has realistic political policy thinking, which is missing by both actual candidates. For me, if possible next to Jill he is a great write in option.
I’m always more than willing to consider the possibility that organized actors — including actors within the regime — are involved in assassinations or assassination attempts.
In fact, while I don’t consider the claim formally proven, it is my opinion that JFK was assassinated by organized elements of the national security apparatus.
So far, I’ve seen no evidence of that with the attempts on Trump, but if any came to light I wouldn’t be surprised.
You don't think Trump contributed to things? There are reasons to believe that Mr. Trump contributed to 7Oct, by his actions:
1) moving Embassy to Jerusalem
2) declaring Jerusalem to be the capitol of Israel
3) stated that it was OK for Israel to annex the Golan Heights, and the West Bank
3) giving an OK for the Abraham Accords, negotiated by Jared Kushner, with NO PALESTINIAN REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT.
The Palestinians looked at the reality that the U.S. and the West had sold them down the river, with no future, no hope, just continued apartheid, occupation. Oct7 was inevitable. It was also anticipated by the Zionist administration of Israel. Things were conveniently done to perhaps allow it to happen, as a trigger for bigger and wilder things. One thing that the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, noted was that the rave that is the center of the discussion of 7Oct, was approved on 5Oct, the site being adjacent to the road leading to the Israeli military base (which was attacked). That path, in fact the entire enterprise was known by Israel one year in advance.
WW3? We will see.
Back in 1982, Israel’s war on Lebanon was so brutal that even Ronald Reagan – who once threatened to pave Vietnam and paint it over with parking stripes – was stunned. He told Prime Minister Menachem Begin, who came to prominence as an Irgun terrorist, “Menachem, this is a holocaust.”
And yet a lowly grifter called Joe Biden, then a Senator bought and paid for by the Zionist lobby, called Begin on the phone to reassure him that “if all the civilians get killed”, that’s no big deal.

Another Russian "red line" has been crossed.
Putin is weak. He could soon fall off a window by accident.
https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/world-news/suspected-israeli-airstrike-hits-near-russian-airbase-accused-of-housing-weapons-in-syria-report/
In that scenario hopefully Putin's successor would retaliate harshly against the aggressors.
You assuming that one of Putin's successor is not the one that pushed Putin out the window.
Haha
And "you" assuming the one who pushed him out the window isn't because he's more of a hardliner than Putin.
Exactly! If Putin were to be removed from office by whatever means, his successor would be far more hawkish and hard line. Those are the only people who have a chance of succeeding him, despite U.S. imperialist wet dreams about a pro-U.S. Russian taking over.

We still don't know who killed Kennedy and his brother and why? What about MLK and Malcom X and more.
Don't open the Pandora's box.
Russians don't do that, they do vote and Putin had a high voter turn-out some 75% winning more than 80% of the votes. Imagine that.
But we can't get rid of the demented old man in the White House.
The U.S. is not a democracy, simple as that. The Princeton study proved that around 10 years ago, and it’s been true for decades if not centuries. The Russian and Chinese people are much better represented by their governments than are Americans.
People who support dictators always say the same thing.
You are no different.
Putin successor will not and cannot be worse unless he chooses to turn Russia into another North Korea.
People of Russia will not let that happen, especially its oligarchs.
People of Russia will not let that happen, especially its oligarchs.
Then why aren't the people or the oligarchs stopping Putin from doing what he is doing now? If they have the power to stop his successor, if he's worse than Putin, then they should be able to stop him. Another example of Putin being portrayed as some crazed iron fisted leader hellbent on taking over Europe to being someone who is a lesser of someone who could be controlled by the people and oligarchs.
Even Supreme Leader Kim of the DPRC (which is nuclear-armed, mind you) has ALSO shown restraint by not launching against the ROK or Japan. Tho he has not been so blatantly provoked as has the Russian Federation and as soon the DPRC is sure to be.
If President Putin has hand-picked hjs successor, expect the next RF President to be in Putin's style. Cautious and calculating. If the RF Presidency falls to "the strongest to emerge" then expect less caution and more reactionary violence and escalation.
Use of nukes by the leaderswill result in the use of US nukes,destroying all the regeims comforts.
The Americans are insane enough to use nukes first and provoke Russia to respond accordingly taking America down with them.
Who says Putin is a dictator? President Putin was reelected by a huge majority of voters with a big voter turn-out of more than 70%. After years in office, they still like him, imagine that.
There is no way so many people will get off their a** come Nov. 5 in good old USA.
I will be one of them who stays home. Why bother?
Look what happens to dissidents in Russia. Please stay home.
Does Julian Assange mean anything to you and JFK and RFK, and MLK, James Hoffa, Malcom X and more?
Putin is a great statesman, he will have his place in history in the line of great men and women.
The Russian people know best, he is still a man of the people.
Ukraine’s Centre for Strategic Communications claimed – without evidence – that the strike “decimated” the Russian air base, lauding that “Russia’s red lines exist only in fairy tales.”
Ukraine's new tactic. Keep making fun of Russia's red lines even if they aren't actually Russia's red lines.
The Ukrainian Center For Military Excellence might have been literally truthful, in that the strike DID destroy only 10% (a decimation by definition) of the airbase.
One shouldn't mistake patience and restraint for weakness.
Likud should sue for peace asap. The deal they get today is going to be much better than tomorrows
They DO possess the world's best lawyers for that lawsuit, so, yeah, go for it, Likud !
Hamas should free all hostages,to regain a bit decency,and spare their own people.
The poor Israelis, they would never hurt anyone, it breaks my heart. /s
Israel should free all 7,000 Palestinian "detainees", in prisons, without charges or legal counsel. That was the purpose of the taking of hostages by Hamas. To negotiate an exchange of all.
Of course, 7Oct was the excuse for the slaughtering of Palestinians. The open letter from the volunteers who treated wounded Palestinians is truth of what Israel has been doing.

Spare their own people from ?
It’s obvious that a pro-Zionist faction of the deep state in the US government is working in tandem with Mossad to set Iran up as the fall guy one way or another. Whether they get the Democrats to attack Iran, or they take out Trump and blame it on Iran in order to whip up a military campaign of performative vengeance.
Today Oct. 05. In the UN the Israeli Ambassador is crying a river over the brutal treatment of the poor suffering Israelis who are being bombed and treated brutally by the ruthless Iranians.
The Iranians are so evil and are doing terrible harm to the poor Israeli victims who never mistreated anyone.
The MSM laps it up. Plasters that story on front pages. Manufacture consent for Israel to attack, perhaps using one or more of its tactical nukes against Iran. Iran and Hezbollah better hook up. Quickly.
Biden? Discuss? In what universe?
The one with two rubber cells.
Iran targeted military sites; U.S. / Israel target civilian infrastructure.
Israel is a good student of what we have done in wartime. Dresden firebombing. Japan fire bombing, plus two nukes. Carpet bombing Vietnam. Twenty years of war in the ME, because of the lies of a U.S. President.
Israel has not unleashed a nuke. Yet.
"Biden Says US and Israel Are Discussing Strikes on Iranian Oil Facilities." LOL. I told you they're going to do exactly what Lindsey Graham said.
I am sure that if that happens and the price of a barrel of oil goes into the stratosphere, Erdogan will give Israel a break in the price of oil. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. Erdogan is a blowhard. Talks a big game, but does nothing. the citizens of Turkey are ashamed of him. He could make things hard for Israel by turning off the flow of oil to Israel. Full stop.
It is obvious, since Biden/Harris/Congress is slaughtering our Constitution, that they are all being BLACKMAILED by Terrorist Netanyahu. Every time one of these traitors holds a press conference, the first question is "What does Netanyahu hold over your head"? We know Congress had a slush fund to pay off sexual complaints against them, but their crimes are far greater than putting their hands on a young girl's knee. Do we have child molesters in Congress/White House? Do we have Rep/Dem committing deviant acts in the rest rooms? How about money/favors exchanged for drugs? What about affairs, rape, murder, selling State Secrets, ETC.? At this point we have NO choice but to think Congress/White House have been 90% Compromised and thus Netanyahu, the Black Mailer has them all by the BALLS. Sanitize the House, sanitize the Senate, sanitized the White House, vote OUT the Rep/Dem Zionist! Even thinking of striking Iranian oil facilities, is suicide for Humanity and the Planet. Israel is our Greatest Enemy!
And the USA they are the greatest enemy of the blue planet.
He/she, regardless who wins will continue the policy of the mad men because they are just as MAD.
Civilization itself is war against the Earth, but you're correct that the U.S. is the worst of this because of its massive military and massive overconsumption.
Hubris. Out of two world wars with not a scar on the lands of the U.S. of A., we declared world wide Monroe doctrine, that the world is our cake.
Remember when Trump said if President he would have the power to suspend the Constitution.
If Netanyahu and Biden bomb Iran’s oil fields, the international price of oil will explode and inflation would jump.
The Fed would then be obliged to raise interest rates, not to lower them as planned.
This could influence the results of the November election, besides creating havoc in the Middle east and possibly launch a world war.
This is sheer lunacy on the part of sick minds.
That is why they will wait until after the election. Regardless who wins, he or she will continue with the agreed on policy.
I believe that. The train will keep rolling, rolling no matter who is in the White House.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Liz Cheney lost her Congressional Seat by the largest margin in the history of Congress for a sitting Representative. The people of Wyoming are really smart! She is a low IQ War Hawk that, as a member of the J6 Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs, ILLEGALLY DESTROYED & DELETED all documents, information, and evidence. Her father, Dick, was a leader of our ridiculous journey into the Middle East, where Trillions of Dollars were spent, millions of people were killed – and for what? NOTHING! Well, today, these two fools, because the Republican Party no longer wants them, endorsed the most Liberal Senator in the U.S. Senate, further Left than even Pocahontas or Crazy Bernie Sanders – Lyin’ Kamala Harris. What a pathetic couple that is, both suffering gravely from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Good Luck to them both!!!
Oct 04, 2024, 12:29 AM
I hope you weren't using that as something you think makes Trump look good in comparison. And he had 4 years to undo what Dick did but choose to gift Israel and try to destroy Iran (one in the same).
Plus, more drone attacks than the Obama administration. For good measure, he ditched the INF Treaty with Russia. Also Open Skies. And, oh yes, he ditched the JCPOA with Iran. He still thinks Gitmo is great.
Israel? He moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, called Jerusalem the capitol of Israel. Then he said Israel could annex the Golan Heights, West Bank. The wonderful Abraham Accords, negotiated by son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had no Palestinians representatives present.
Meanwhile, pogroms against Palestinians were continuing, raids continuing, Palestinian children shot, young men abducted from their homes and kept as detainees, without charges.
Trump was/is a wrecking ball.
We know that you had a job, Ms. Cheney, but your father's heart problem's complicating.
What "heart problem". He received a transplant.
I heard his body rejected having a heart put into it.
Kamala Harris is a right wing pawn. She doesn't have a left-leaning cell in her body. Mainly, she's an empty vessel that the rulers want to use because she'll do whatever she's told. The rich are ALL right wing, if you understand what that term means.
George Soros is a right-winger?
Yes, of course. What you probably mean by "left wing" is someone who supports woke BS. That's not left wing, it's just woke BS. The U.S. has no left wing to speak of, just a few people with podcasts like Jimmy Dore and Lee Camp.
Dore was on Judging Freedom. He told Judge Nap that because of his stance on everything no one will invite him to shows, like late night shows, etc.
What is left or right winger anyway?
Soros will protect his money first, he may support Gay Rights, but when it counts he is more a neoliberal conservative, similar to the the German FDP aka Free Democratic Party.
Norman Finkelstein, when asked about his assessment of Kamala Harris, said the same about her. She is an empty vessel, nothing there. He reminded the interviewer that Harris came in 4th in the California Primary. Fourth.
Harris performed terribly in the 2020 presidential campaign.
But it’s worth noting that she came in fourth in the California primary despite having dropped out of the race four months earlier, before any primaries were held.
Is a demented old man clear enough to discuss anything? He is committing war crimes in our name, did we vote for that and all the lies coming from his administration? Despicable.
The candidates for his job are as sick as he is. We are in need of real regime change, maybe Putin can give us a helping hand for a change.
Subdivide the United States of America into 5-6 smaller countries (follow the Divisions of certain major league sports if you like)(not the NFL; how the s**t is DALLAS in the NFC EAST with NY, Washington, and Philly ???) and then you don't have a huge monster. Just smaller EU-style confederations without the combined might & centralised leadership to go off misadventuring.
How about college football? Rutgers and Washington in the same conference. A natural rivalry if there ever was one. /s
I've been advocating for that, but much more division. Each bioregion should be its own country. Maybe some of the smaller states could be countries, but the big ones should also be broken up.
Is those two carrier strike groups, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Abraham Lincoln, bomb Iran oil and nuclear sites, they become legal targets.
100%.
Tho at their sinkings, expect the Americans to cry "it's 10/11" and lament the unexpected loss of the "Twin Carriers", not noticing that a nearby US Navy Cruiser also sank even though nothing hit it…
Yep. Taking 5,000 sailors to their graves. A couple of missiles hitting the flight deck would render them junk. Iran proved anything can be hit, even with advance notice of the incoming.
“A couple of missiles hitting the flight deck would render them junk.”
The USS Yorktown would like a word.

Biden lives in Israeli made reality and is suffering from selective memory.
"Biden says Israel shouldn’t strike Iranian nuclear sites, but US officials recognize it has a right to respond to attack"???
https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/02/politics/biden-israel-iran-response/index.html
When Bibi says Iran has nuclear sites, Biden nods his head in agreement. When Bibi says Iran has nuclear weapons, Biden nods his head in agreement. When posed with this: https://www.antiwar.com/blog/2024/10/03/open-letter-from-american-healthcare-workers-who-volunteered-in-gaza/#gsc.tab=0 Biden will not look. Harris, who is married to Doug Emhoff, most definitely will not look. At the moment, Israel is like a virus that has caused an epidemic of zombies in Congress.
Now it's pretty clear who actually blew up Nord Stream pipeline! The USA is like teachers at a school that let the playground bully pummel fellow students and steal their lunch money! The "leaders" of this world had better approach Israel/USA in a more "stern" manner before we all go up in flames, courtesy of the "holy" Israelis!
"Now it's pretty clear who actually blew up Nord Stream pipeline!"
Is…is it not still the world's most impossibly skilled trio of Ukrainian SCUBA divers & their rented Polish yacht ?
'Cause THAT was a yarn not even a well-meaning Saddam-era Iraqi press secretary could say with a straight face.
If by “impossibly skilled” you mean “as skilled as millions of other scuba divers.”
But not the skill to pull off the caper.
Exactly. Its simply the 'King of the Hill' kids game and the gangs are in it for themselves and nothing more..
Rule of Law is not the faux International 'Rules-Based Order' that use like a hammer on those who dare to dissent
Biden has gone 'round the bend' as the Australians like to say. His "advisors" are already there, baying at the moon.
Insufficient evidence. If Israel suggested it, they are discussing it. That doesn't mean that Biden is endorsing it. The spike in the price of oil will bring him to his senses, even if he might endorse it otherwise.
Don't count on any sanity from these psychopaths. The fact that Biden pushed the U.S. proxy war against Russia in Ukraine so hard shows you that they'll even take the serious risk of nuclear war to get what they want. They're all Dr. Strangeloves in real life. Putin an Xi seem to be the most sane among them, but I wouldn't count on them either.
How can normal, sane people deal with all the Israeli and American insanity?
The totally insane Netanyahu/Biden team and their insane partners in government are bombing, and assassinating diplomats and leaders and scientists and every man, woman and child in every state near Israel.
"How can normal, sane people deal with all the Israeli and American insanity?"
It's up to regular people (screw normal!) to evolve enough mentally and spiritually so that they don't obsess on the things that empires provide, then be willing to make the sacrifice needed to throw the bums out. While the rich & powerful are obviously more responsible for all this, all mentally competent adults have at least SOME responsibility too.
Biden, Harris, the whole 535 members of congress are junk. Pure junk. What do we do with junk? We take it to the landfill.
His senses, does he have any? They only have demented people in charge running around. Biden is out, he has nothing to lose.
He does not worry. We will prop up the economy of Israel by subsidizing payments for oil delivered from Turkey.
Dont even get going on Guantanamo, or Panama or Haiti!!! Haiti, does anyone here ever do a bit of studying on the horror we brought there? Course not…Its today that matters and the past is fading fast and the future, well,its not there is it kiddies???
But some of us are old enough to remember mentioning it is opening the Pandora's box, it is filled to the rim.
Yes 9t it is, it is our[ legacy] and we should clean it up
Whenever we send our troops there to "assist", Haiti is worse off.
Biden supports everything the Israelis do. Two insanely evil men joined at the hips, Netanyahu and Biden.
They're all evil: Biden, Harris, Trump, Bibi, etc. The only people who should be in power are those who don't want to be. The rest of them are egomaniacs who obsess on money/materialism and/or power.
No, let us not think about things in such a way. Most people are basically good, just occasionally misguided.
Watched CNN take on potential strikes on Iran nuclea sites. Only concerned that bombs cannot reach them! Not the fallout in the atmosgfe
The article alleges that Iran has nuclear weapons, at least that is what Netanyahu says. CNN is going along manufacturing consent for Israel to use a tactical nuke against Iran. CNN will not publish and discuss this letter: https://www.antiwar.com/blog/2024/10/03/open-letter-from-american-healthcare-workers-who-volunteered-in-gaza/#gsc.tab=0 (note that the healthcare workers put the number of Palestinians at 118,000, also note Dr. Perlmutter, M.D., Jewish, said it was the first time that he held a baby's brain in his hands)
Today’s word of the day: De-escalation.
We need to restore peace to the region…
Mush brained Joe Biden has the key to ending both wars. The key can be applied to lock up the storehouse of weapons that fuel each.
One year ago this Monday is the anniversary of Israel's Gaza genocide purge. How will Israel and the US celebrate?
Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrates his birthday tomorrow.

Nuclear weapons? Iran has none. Nuclear bases? Iran has none. Forced to attack? Iran is defending against Israel's aggression.
Israel, with Netanyahu leading this, is the mother of lying countries.

Any offensive action by the U.S. against Iran would be unconstitutional without a Congressional Declaration of War.

I am sure Biden will discuss this: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/6/palestinian-journalist-19-killed-in-israeli-raid-after-receiving-threats
They’re more nervous than normal and they should be. It wasn’t widely reported, but a couple of weeks ago Iran made an Arms exchange with Russia in which they received very capable Russian air defense systems. It would be horribly bad press if multi-million dollar fighter jets got shot down in Iranian airspace

"Apparently, a frantic Netanyahu has been trying to reach Putin on phone for the past few days but the call is yet to materialise. On the diplomatic track too, Russia has underscored the highest importance it attaches to the relations with Iran."
I want to extend my best wishes to President Putin for a happy birthday on Monday.
