„The Israeli prime minister had set in motion plans to attack Iran long before President Trump began efforts to resolve nuclear concerns through negotiations, officials say.“

"The U.S. military has repeatedly helped defend Israel from Iranian attacks. The Pentagon did not respond to questions about what American assets were used or how many interceptor missiles were employed to defend Israel.

Semler pointed out that even ignoring the tremendous ancillary costs associated with stationing a carrier group in the Middle East, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, and Patriot missile batteries; operating the equipment; wear and tear; extra deployments; and bonus pay for troops — among many other costs — the price tag of just the interceptor missiles is immense. Each THAAD interceptor, for example, costs around $21 million.

“Imagine it, that’s like blasting a bundle of 10 Bugatti Veyrons into the sky to shoot down just one missile coming from Iran,” said Semler referring to the $2 million supercar, one of the most expensive automobiles on the planet. “Is it really worth it? Under Trump, just as under Biden, there is apparently no cost too high for the United States.”

An analysis by Brown University’s Costs of War Project tallied up around $18 billion in military aid to Israel in the year following the start of Israel’s war on Gaza on October 7, 2023. This represented far more than any other year since the U.S began providing military aid to Israel in 1959."

Had Iran wanted to use nuclear weapons against Israel, all they had to do was load a missile with radioactive material. It would have been a devastating 'dirty bomb'.
But the US empire joined its genocidal client anyway.
There will undoubtedly be consequences.

Albanese has once again traded his back bone for good ol' fashion Yellow Jello.. DT want's his boots licked clean by 5pm sharp by the way, there's a good boy...

If he keeps up with this constant DT appeasement he could find a Vote of No Confidence calling an early election..

Interview: "Another Iraq?" U.S. Has No Real Plan If It joins Israel’s War on Iran

"The U.S. is reportedly considering dropping bunker buster bombs on underground Iranian nuclear facilities."

“It’s reminiscent of the beginning of the Iraq War, when they said it’s going to be a cakewalk."

„The German leader said Iran's nuclear program must be destroyed.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has strongly backed Israel’s war on Iran & said on Tuesday that Israel was “doing dirty work” for the West by launching the assault.
“This is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us. We are also victims of this regime. This mullah regime has brought death & destruction to the world,” Merz said.“

A lot of countries seem to argue that an increase in military spending is the way to avoid a new world war (you know, the one ending all wars... this time since it will end us).

But maybe, just maybe, a bigger threat to world peace is the international community not capable of holding countries accountable for breaking international laws.

One of the many articles arguing that Israël its attack on Iran is illegal:

It's been a warmongering day here in the UK. Media was all over winding people up that it's inevitable that the country's going to war. The highlight for me was when a caller to the radio said the UK should make a pre-emptive first strike against Russia. No one sane in any country wants a war. Maybe if the "leaders" of countries do, they should fight it out in a cage rather than send millions to their death.
