What's going on? If you see all the naval firepower that is there you'd think they were facing off with the Soviets. This is not about gaza or maybe even hezbollah all those ships are there for something else.
 
Erdogan:

Probably wants to drag Turkey into the war.

Israel's made bad calls in their relationship with Russia and Turkey. Russia can't be seen supporting Israel publicly, and Israel's way too close to the US. The Turks are just a bunch of snakes. Even Syria's gonna suffer in their hands if they allow Turkish troops in.
LoL! Nope He just want to show that, he is the true leader of Muslims, not MBS or Iranian President.
 
Interesting stuff. Both sides want genocide of the other at this rate.
That's been the case for a long time. Hamas and Likud have long been allied, they cooperated together to eliminate the pacifists of both sides so that they could stay in power forever by using each other as a scarecrow.

It's a bit extreme this time.


The Israelis are treating it as an existential threat. They want to eliminate Hamas to the point where they are even willing to use nukes. As per the former head of the Israeli National Security Council. The goal this time is to remove people from Gaza entirely.

I don't understand Hamas's ultimate political goal.....I mean real achievable goal.
Likud wants to discredit all Palestinians as terrorists so that they don't have to agree with Two-state solution.

Sabotaging the Israel-Saudi Arabia normalisation process. This suits both Iran and the Ankara-Doha axis.

Remind the "Arab Street" around the world (including in the West) of the Palestinian cause.

Taking its own population hostage, obtaining more aid from the international community, aid that will benefit Hamas rather than the Gazan population.
 
If Iran and the US go to war, you can kiss food goodbye. Most of the world will go into a very deep recession.
Iran would have nothing left to strike with inside a few weeks. Their navy and air force would cease to exist inside a week. You've seen a very limited quantity and variety of US munitions making a mockery of Russian air defences, so Iran has no chance against a full out strike. And if they try block they straight, they will have the whole of of NATO on them and neighbouring Sunni countries, worse than Iraq did in 1991. Iraq had the 4th largest military at the time remember, well ahead of Iran.
