Why did they never get their own nation in punjab with which they could terrorise their neighbours as revenge for something that happened a few millenia ago. yeah, not fair.

steviewevie Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM Anyway...I reckon Trump and Netanyahu have done a deal and there will be more progress towards a ceasefire once Trump gets in but Israel won't have to worry about a Palestinian state or getting out of West Bank etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netanyahu could bum Starmer and Biden’s wives and they’d be all ’Israel does have that right’ Its bizarre the outsized power that this little genocidal country has. Its made a complete mockery of any supposed international ’rules based order’. Why would any country not just do whatever they wanted from this point. Why should China not flatten Taiwan and turn it into a big casino? China has already got Macau as that big casino 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewevie Posted Friday at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:21 PM you can drop bombs on schools and hospitals full of civilians...but if you fire at UN peacekeepers then we have an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this is the drop that makes everyone realise truly the west is no better than China or Russia. Its about power and nothing else. International law/human rights is a load of bollocks - just another layer of coercion, as evidently it only applies to the enemies of the USA. The final death knoll for america as world policeman. It is the greatest PR victory that russia and china could ever hope for. Edited 13 hours ago by mattiloy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US have sent some new anti missile things to Israel, thinking is that is part of deal to persuade Israel not to retaliate against Iran by targeting nuclear sites or oil fields.

doogie Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago What exactly have these UN peacekeepers been doing for the past 12 months while Hezbollah were firing hundreds of rockets a day at Israeli towns? Waste of space the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewevie Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago or maybe more likely they don't want a fight with Hezbollah but just want to try and contain things...obviously not really working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of space the lot of them. Are you an idiot? You want peacekeepers to walk around the lebanese hills trying to find mobile rocket launchers that pop up intermittently and fire into israel? And in any case mainly at military targets and deserted border towns. If i wanted to keep the peace in the middle East, i’d probably start by attacking the country doing the genocide.

steviewevie Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago UN does some good stuff, but in many ways they are also toothless and useless. The whole security council thing just doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewevie Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago While the world is focused on Lebanon/Iran there's some horrific stuff going on in Gaza. Maybe that's part of the plan. Needs an intervention, constant calls for a ceasefire don't work. Nothing gong to happen with this stupid election though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
