Confirmed Israel attacked Iran

💠Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced that the Israeli government has carried out a preemptive strike against Iran “to eliminate threats against the State of Israel.”

Katz declared a special state of emergency across the country and warned that missile and drone attacks against Israel and its civilian population are expected soon.

Instructions from the Home Front Command must be followed, and people should remain in protected locations.

    Worth thinking about:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/iran-crisis-tests-trump-standing-with-young-men-who-helped-power-2024-win-2026-03-04/

    Here in New Zealand, many smug “right-wing” commentators are supporting the war while ignoring that young white men voted for Trump largely because he was anti-war and promised no new regime change wars. So this isn’t about Helen Clark or the New Zealand Green Party. I don’t really care how unpopular the Green Party is with people on the fake “Zionist right”. Many people on the right disagree with Trump’s brutal bombardment of Iran and that should be the focus.

    Young men are being tricked into hating Islam and supporting the mass-destruction of Tehran. Even Alex Jones is calling Islam a cancer which isn’t what he was like 18 years ago. Someone needs to point out that Zionist jews have infiltrated the United States Government. They have either bought Trump or blackmailed him. Trump voters should be furious that a tiny foreign country, Israel, has so much control over America’s foreign policy. Not just that, but also the fact that Zionist talking points are being promoted in “america first” circles and right-wing media.

    How does “wars for Israel” fit into “America first”? Why should Israel’s security determine U.S. policy? Dual citizens should be banned and these right-wing idiots sipping wine while children die really need to think about the entire situation, rather than just score points against “the woke left who are defending the moolars”. That was never the issue.

      I used to think of Israel as just another American proxy to support American hegemony in the region. However, I’ve never seen a proxy be able to drag the U.S. into a war that is as risky as this one.

      Sure, a win against Iran might collapse the Axis of Resistance which would enable Israel to colonize the Arab world with great success. But a loss… a loss could be the nail in the coffin for the American Empire. If the U.S. is forced out of West Asia it simply won’t be able to meet its ridiculously high energy needs.

      It’s speculation, but I have to imagine Trump’s people are panicking behind the scenes to some degree. American administrators are always evil, but they haven’t been this stupid for quite a long time if ever.
