In the WPost Kareem Fahim: "..the Arab Monarchies [view] Israel as.. belligerent and unpredictable " Yes, unpredictable: when attacked, it defends itself. Then quotes a stray Englishman: "the most destabilizing actor is Israel". Kareem Fahim should write for the Islamic Post

Keep reading about the trucks that were photographed at Fordow before it the bombing. All who write assert that their loads consisted of highly enriched uranium, so that Trump FAILED... Ie. they assume that the Israelis failed to tail the trucks to the hidden location. Why ?

The NATO decision to increase spending to 5% reflects the need to remedy years of neglect, exemplified by inoperable AFVs, aircraft & warships. As it is one of the big four, Italy is under 1.5%, even including industrial spending. But Trump has a remedy for this disease.

The chief of Israel's general staff: "Iran is no longer a nuclear threshold state....the severe blow to the whole chain..scientists, installations, and reactors, puts Iran a long way away from a nuclear weapon."

Re. polemical media denials that Israeli & US bombing was effective, the IDF chief of staff: "Iran may still maintain parts of its nuclear program, but the damage suffered by its entire bomb-making process means that it cannot make a weapon for several years".

Jews had no state of their own till 1948 hence no chance to develop political understanding. Jews who voted for the intifadah candidate in New York were preceded by the Stalinists, Bundists and Orthodox of eastern Europe who disagreed on everything except in opposing emigration

Algemeyner Yidisher Arbeter-bund in Lite, Poyln un Rusland . Anti-Zionist, Yiddish instead of Hebrew, Socialist. They wanted Jews to stay & fight for socialism not go to Zion or America. As useless as Orthodox & Communists. All opposed emigration even when Germany became Nazi

Jews who support the Global Intifadah candidate in New York would really prefer to be ex-Jews. They have my permission to leave the chosen people. After all, it only stays chosen because fools and cowards have defected in every generation since the Seleucid conquest in 200 BC

have seen contrary statements. Am sure the evidence is there one way or another, at least city by city. They certainly did cooperate in fighting the Nazis in extremis

I read that Obama's "binding agreement" with Iran was a better safeguard against an Iranian bomb that Israel's air offensive capped by a few US attacks. What is a "binding agreement" ? Is it better that a plain agreement ? If so, how does it "bind " ?

Fools & knaves insist that the bombing failed (IDF disagrees) & the US will be tricked into marching to Tehran for "regime change". Lefties, Islamists isolationists & anti-Yids must invoke regime change for a plausible defeat scenario. But

the chief of staff of the IDF was issuing a directive which he prefaced with the statement that Iran is no longer a nuclear threshold state, hence.....

Molti Italiani non capiscono perche' i giovani Ukraini e Israeliani combattono invece di emigrare. E le statistiche dimostrano che molti Italiani non capiscono perche' dovrebbero avere bambini invece di divertirsi. I rifiuti sembrano diversi ma ambedue portano el estinzione

They cannot . Foreigners can only affect regime change by total occupation and vigorous repression that evokes nativist reactions that must in turn be suppressed. If there is an iron-clad commitment to an indefinite occupation it can work. None of the above are on offer.

Regime change is a subject that lends itself to sure-footed analysis...in retrospect (Gibbon's on the Roman Empire is still priceless). Prospectively, it is hopeless. But it is certain that no Islamic proposal would fly in Iran--it takes theocracy to make atheists

Where the Russians concentrate their forces, they advance (now NE of Pokrovsk and facing Sumi). When Ukrainian troops are brought from X, the Russians attack X. In NATO-Europe 400K soldiers eat 3 meals /day but governments are unwilling to send any troops to fight for any reason

Israelis touring Europe should not be surprised by the hostility they encounter. First they are richer than most Europeans. Secondly they have the courage to fight in war, as Europeans used to do. Third, all now knows that Israel is more advanced than most European countries,

China ? Military Regime ? No , the PLA is too smal lto matter. The People's Armed Police has many more troops but they are scattered al over China, not concentrated for effective action
