    The IAEA released a statement that Iran wasn’t holding to their non-proliferation agreements. Acknowledging that Iran is in the process of making nukes depite what they claim.

    UKMTO was warning mariners of heightened tensions on June 11th

    About the same time the US was evacuating non essential people from Bahrain, Kuwait and similar places

    The people in the know were aware that Israel was getting a liiiiiitle more hands on with Iran’s nuclear program. Nobody seems willing to get involved to support or stop it.

    That would give any third party a good cop bad cop negotiation position. Have Iran make a deal with them or let Israel continue to have some quality 1v1 time

      Israel seems to have a history of “come up with plausible sounding excuse then go too far”. So my money is on this getting very bad very fast.

      Meanwhile, Trump has suddenly been playing that good guy cop role very hard over the last few days and pretending like he was actually urging Netenyahu to stop the war in Gaza.

      Trump also agreed to back away from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and allow Putin to retaliate against Ukraine with as much force as they felt necessary in exchange for Russia allegedly keeping Iran in check.

      As all this was happening, Trump had a very public Twitter war with Elon Musk, and while everyone was paying attention to that, most people missed that Netenyahu admitted he had been arming the bans of criminals in Gaza with ties to Isis, who have been accused of raiding aid supplies for citizens who are being starved and murdered while trying to reach the official aid checkpoints allowed by Israel.

      Also on the same day, the Trump administration sanctioned judges in the ICC who had created an arrest warrant for Netenyahu over war crimes.

      Our long term allies in Europe are standing with those ICC judges against the Trump administration, but again, most people in the U.S. are unaware of this bc they were being distracted by the show put on for them by two grown men with way too much money and power.

      Meanwhile in the Israeli government, Netenyahu failed to pass a law that would keep his most conservative base from being drafted and subject to the same laws the rest of Israel is subject to. This risked his position of power and led to a vote on Wednesday that would have dissolved his government. It didn’t pass, but the vote proved he has lost support due to the way he’s leading his country. 24 hours later, once he was reassured his power was safe, he does this and makes comments that he actually had Trump’s full support before Trump released any comments or acknowledgements about what he did.

      Also sounds like Netenyahu is very much planning to invade Iran, and parroting similar talking points made by Trump earlier this week regarding a different war.

      Netanyahu thanks Trump for support; tells Iranians ‘your liberation from tyranny is closer than ever’

        Yeah, the Iranian government is tyranny for sure, but calling an Israeli invasion “a liberation from tyranny” requires someone asking the Palestinians how their liberation is going…

        Trump and Elon don’t need to be smart enough for fucking “5D chess” when this basic ass distraction tactic works so damn well.

      Stopping Iran from developing nukes doesn’t seem like a cause many people would be willing to get in the way of.

        Well again, we were told by our president earlier this week our ally Russia was handling Iran and that was why we should just step back and let them fuck up Ukraine.

        Meanwhile, our good friends in the Russian government and the state controlled media, have been cheering on destabilization of the U.S. and the production of Civil War! being put on in L.A. by the POTUS

        Enjoy the military parade this weekend. I wonder who could have inspired that brilliant idea? 🤔

        Moscow Victory Day Parade

        Also, a friendly reminder once again, the original members of the Heritage Foundation spent a lot of time in Russia prior to and immediately following the collapse of the Soviet Union, helping to create Russia’s very first “free market.”

        “You capture the Soviet Union --I’m going to capture the states.”-Thomas Roe to fellow Heritage Foundation member Robert Krieble

        They also established centers for freedom and democracy throughout Eastern Europe. Despite everything that would seem to indicate Putin despises democracy, Putin liked the ideas of the Heritage Foundation so much, he started creating think tanks of his own.

        2009: In the Heart Of New York, Russia’s ‘Soft Power’ Arm Gaining Momentum

        Migranyan says the Institute for Democracy and Cooperation is not financed with Kremlin money, and that Kucherena depends on support from private sponsors. Nevertheless, the institute’s views rarely diverge from that of the Kremlin’s. Neither does one of its key stated goals – studying Western democracy and “offering recommendations for its improvement.” Founder Kucherena has argued that no country can monopolize the definition of democracy and human rights.

        2015: Pro-Putin Think Tank Based In New York Shuts Down

        Migranyan used the institute to function as a kind of unofficial spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government. Migranyan told the Associated Press in 2008 that the creation of the institute had been approved by the Kremlin, but that it was funded privately through business donations.

        That sounds kinda familiar… Oh yeah, it’s because it’s the same way the first free market of Russia was described in that 1991 Washington Post article about the first U.S.-Russia business created by the Heritage Foundation

        Businessman Robert Krieble, who donated fax machines, computers and copiers to dissidents in the Soviet Union when “they were illegal,” Lozansky said, is one of the financial supporters.

        “Russia House is not financed by governments but by private people,”

        Putin-linked think tank drew up plan to sway 2016 US election - documents
