It was reported yesterday that missiles and artillery strikes were coming out of Syria and Lebanon targeting Israel. Pretty much a de-facto declaration of war if so and not retracted/explained by Syria. So far, Syria hasn’t said anything about it - not even denying it was them.

War is the continuation of diplomacy by other means.

Imagine Russia hit a Polish airport. The same bunch would be ready to invoke article 5. Watch how everyone twists their own logic depending on who does what to whom. I say Trump needs to be house speaker and the Senate needs to remove the administration entirely. Not sure the world can wait a year for Trump.

That’s a heavy conclusion to jump to.

Have you heard of satellites?…

Hmmm.......

So, Mossad is in fact on the job.

When W was prresident, we were told that Iran would have an atom bomb is a year and a half or two years.

They still don’t have it.

We can guess that the reason is the result of applied intelligence much of which is derived from Israeli sources

I don’t think it’s over until an embassy is sieged.

Next year the terrorist cells will be activated here in the US. IMO

Or it could be sooner.

From "Bananas":



"The weather on this Sunday afternoon is perfect; and if you've just joined us, we've seen a series of colorful riots that started with the traditional bombing of the American embassy - a ritual as old as the city itself."

War has already been declared. Israel is just sending out invitations to all who want to be part of it.

Winning comment!!!

"That’s an act of war."

Israel have been at war with Syria since 1948.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Syria is either tipping off Israel, or tacitly supporting the strikes, as Syria is in a bind with Hamas and Iran, as they were need to help them fight off the Neocon-created civil war there, and now Syria is stuck with their transport flights to arm-up the radicals.

I base this on the Syrian government being highly secular - to the point where even their large Christian population feels safe (to the extent possible in a Muslim-ruled country), so they have to know that Hamas and Iran would just love to someday install a government in Syria more aligned with ‘the cause’.

Bomb Mexico? Now you’re talking! I’m the least interventionist I’ve ever been in my life, but I’m 100% for f’ing up Mex cartels, as long as the border is sealed and no refugees allowed.

It’s more relevant to the US than this incoming cluster-f.

Interesting. Things are not as black and white as it may sometimes appear.

Biden’s poll numbers in the tank
Ukraine proxy way not going so well
Economy in the tank / unions on strike
Interest rates high
10 million plus illegal aliens in the country
Criminals rule the streets
(add your own here)

A nice world war is just what the administration needs to make all this seem irreverent.

Syria and Israel have been in a state of war since 1982.
