BREAKING: 3 US Soldiers killed in Jordan. Middle East conflict heating up. Erratic Netanyahu threatening unthinkable.
We are dancing on the precipice of World War Three, and the people calling the shots are dangerously unfit to make decisions on behalf of the planet.
Three US soldiers were killed in Jordan by Syrian militants that CNN never lets us forget are "Iran-backed." The ball is in America's court, but if anyone pulls the trigger on nuclear strikes, limited or otherwise, it's going to be Benjamin Netanyahu and his gang of thugs. Netanyahu has been relentlessly pushing the idea that Iran is an existential threat to Israel, even before October 7th.
After telling the UN General Assembly — in September — that Iran must face a "credible nuclear threat" (later retracted), Netanyahu has done everything in his power to blame them for the October 7th attacks, even going so far as to suggest that in attacking Hamas, Israel is already at war with Iran: “Who says we aren’t attacking Iran? We are attacking Iran.”
This month, Netanyahu doubled down on his threat, saying that as prime minister of Israel he is obligated "to do everything to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons.”
Israel has between 80 and 400 nukes in its possession. Iran has 0. Yet Israel, with a population of 9 million, is threatening to use all their capabilities to stop Iran, with a population of 87 million, from obtaining them.
Not since the Cuban missile crisis has the doomsday clock ticked this close to midnight. If We the People can't stop the madmen calling the shots, we may be finished.
Benjamin Netanyahu, his Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and his coterie of hard-right cabinet members have been saying some pretty crazy things lately. And acting out in wild erratic ways. Their vengeance in Gaza knows no bounds.
Israel has between 80 and 400 nukes.
What if the war in Gaza bogs down in a stalemate? What if Iran's “Axis of Resistance”— the Houthis, Hezbollah and Islamic Resistance — keep blocking world trade and attacking US bases? What if Iran starts swaggering and Bibi suddenly feels cornered?
An unhinged Kim Jong Un, MAGA neocons calling for strikes on Iran, and now this: messianic fanatics like Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich with their trigger fingers all atwitch.
Not since the Cuban missile crisis has the doomsday clock ticked so close to midnight.
