Pity he can't drop a missile on Nety's head, proper despot he's has bad as Putin.
The Israeli people can't be happy with what he's done and still doing, he's trying to do to the Palestinians what Hitler tried to do to his fellow Jews.

Massive Swans fan apparently.

Also, the price of that rock on his finger would make the money spent on the Heads of The Valley bypass look like chicken feed, bullets and bombs whilst the people of Iran starve. #freepalestine

Israel have gone way way too far imo now but I doubt very much that the Israeli people are happy about the music festival massacre either and this wasn’t happening to this extent the day before the music festival.

Iran with a nuclear arsenal is a shocking prospect, because of religious fanatism that prevents rational thought. I watched a Sky documentary many years back and it covered the mentality about 'Shahid' martyrdom mindset within Shia religion.

The programme stated an incident that happened during the Iran/Iraq war, where way too many Iranian soldiers volunteered to walk through a minefield so that they could be blown up as a means of clearing the dangerous path that was slowing up the battalions. So?.... They had to take part in a competition to do so.

The documentary said that there was bitter disappointment from the 'losers' that were prevented from stamping on landmines by their military commanders.

I guess the "Death to Israel" 'nuclear button' Iranian leadership sharing the same values as its military leadership disrupts the sleep patterns many of Israeli's? Because, Iran suffering a retaliatory nuclear strike from Israel would be viewed as (that minefield hey?) more glorious than terrifying?

Way too complicated to pin down to one event in isolation.

Netanyahu has been saying that Iran are a couple of years way from having a nuclear bomb since the early 90’s.

He’s been wrong for 30 years, so besides your dislike of Iran and their religion, what makes him right this time?

Truth be told I am not affected in any way by Shia religion. I will however mention what Israel has on its hands by mentioning the facts, And I guess a country having nuclear scientists means that it has serious intent on having nuclear weapons.

America once had a nuclear scientist called Oppenheimer!!! It didn't always have nuclear weapons either.... LOL!!!!

And call me picky, but I reckon a country like North Korea is a lesser preferable choice when it comes to nuclear weapons also. You know the more politically/religiously 'loose cannon' a country is the worse it is for a safer world.

Religion-radicalism experienced up close? I have personally encountered and seen the fanatism/sickness from two Presbyterians i.e. a minister and his wife, who think that a child's suffering is because of the parents sin and that the main concern is NOT the child's suffering, BUT the requirement for the parents to come to terms with their sin. This ethos is part of 'theotherapy' and religious doctrine which they advocate and support. So who needs fanatical-religious ideology hey?

Yeah, was just wondering what was different this time.

Well yes of course but people don’t seem to want to mention it for some reason.

The Orange one is saying that they know exactly where Khamenei is but they don't want to kill him for now, how can say that in one breath and yet declare that the US isn't involved in this conflict.

Trump: We know where Iranian leader is but won't kill him, for nowpublished at 17:25

Donald Trump has just posted a follow up on social media.

He says: "We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding.

"He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.

"But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Moments ago, he posted to say that "we have complete and total control of the skies over Iran".
