| Iran under attack on 18:11 - Feb 28 by Swansea_Blue | It’s as if the lessons from history don’t exist. I remember people dancing in the streets of Baghdad when Saddam was deposed with no plan for what came next. And here we are again. Maybe this time it won’t tigger civil war and lead to the formation of extremist groups who destabilised much of the Western World. Here’s hoping! |
The problem is Trump is playing games with people's lives to keep his own problems off the front pages. Therefore, he knows he needs to keep changing tact to keep the press interested. This time next week he'll have another target to aim his bile at, probably Cuba. It's all about recency and immediacy to him. Whilst people are picking over the runes and ruins, they're not talking about Epstein. |  |

It seems that way doesn’t it. He’s a dangerous nutter. His impulsivity could mean this ends up being a very short ‘war’. I suspect he’s as likely to stop at no logical break point and claim a great victory as he is to sustain a longer operation. Presumably there are reasons why Netanyahu wants this too? If the US and Iran were progressing in their negotiations that wouldn’t go down well with him. [Post edited 28 Feb 18:39]

This. So much this. I can't get enthusiastic about this way of achieving regime change, no matter how bad the regime, because the lessons are that it rarely leads to anything good for the people of the country in question. |  |

All based on Israeli intelligence though. I’d be amazed if he was in his residence given all the warnings. Protocol would have seen him disappear weeks ago |  | |  |

Yep. And it hits home closer than many realise because it causes a surge in asylum applications. Always does. Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. To make it all make even less sense, ironically those who tend to be more militant and support such attacks also tend to be those most against the consequences of the resulting refugee displacement. *sighs* |  |

Videos now of direct drone attacks by Iran on the main terminal at Kuwait International Airport and other reports that Dubai Airport has been hit too. The drones are almost unstoppable as they evade radar too |  | |  |

Yep, we’ve achieved our objective, obliterated everything (again) but we’ll keep bombing them for another week. They already killed 50 school girls at school today |  | |  |

I think that with Israel's efforts in Gaza, they are in danger of running out of martyrs to blame their aggression on. So its time to create some more by bombing the crap out of another nation. This way, when they create thousands of aggreived orphans intent on revenge on the western world, they will have good reason for whatever martial steps they want to take next. |  |

Israel has killed 72000 of it's own citizens. But that's different of course |  | |  |
