China started talking stronger smack about Taiwan as well.
This is getting out of control.

Most of it has been defensive but there is a lot about it by merely googling it.

The pressure is on now for Israel and it looks like they may cave.

“China started talking stronger smack about Taiwan as well.

This Taiwan talk was Xi performing at the latest CCP party confab, that just elected him to a third term. That some are calling, actually President for life. Let’s hope this is so. That the ChiComs will simmer down. The world has enough headaches.

It says,

“Netherlands and Germany will be sending Ukraine an anti-tank weapons system manufactured by a subsidiary of Israel's state-owned Rafae “

so its getting sent by Germany and the Netherlands.
And what “pressure” are you talking about?
Ukraine has no power to pressure anybody.
Most countries of the world, certainly almost all countries in Asia have refused to impose any sanctions on Russia.
They are not stupid.

They are being pressured by the US now. So far, they have not faltered, but....you know how things like this work.

We will see.

I think the thing people are missing here, due to their zealous hatred of our nosey support of Ukraine, is the fact that Iran is an existential threat to Israel.

The Ayatollahs have VOWED to nuke the Jews once they get their bombs working.

Now the Iranians are going full bore with the Russians, and that has got to be a big concern for Israel.

Their thinking is not OUR thinking.

Conservatives recognize this war as mostly not our business and we certainly don’t want to spend billions on Ukraine when we haven’t even closed our border here. There are a million things to talk about to bring peace, rather than war, to the table. Biden has pushed war without end.

But if there’s any escalation in play here, the blame is in Tehran.
