Not sure how you get from land mines to justifying use of weapons of mass destruction. Are you ok?

The IRGC has no qualms when they kill their own citizens, do you expect to not to escalate like that on their enemies when those are escalating too?
That's the issue and my personal fear: that Iran now has reasons to escalate further. Even worse if considering that Israel is killing the sane ones in charge.

That is the next step (which expecting to happen in the next days, along to more sea mining in the Gulf), the big stuff like Chemicals might be in consideration by Iran now, seems that the escalation might end worse than expecting. Trump isn't opening the Pandora's Box... he is utterly using a misile to destroy it.

Chemical and bio weapons are a far more giant headache for the nation that possesses them than anybody else. You're more likely to kill yourself than the enemy. This is why we got rid of them decades ago.

Of course is a double edged sword. But considering that the sane people in charge in Iran are getting killed by Israel, what do you expect with the ones who are still alive? They would think that this is an existential crisis. And they would think on taking those escalation risk.

Chemical weapons are a bit shit against troops. They are great for terrorising a civilian population but that's not going to help Iran.
I've seen no evidence that they have any need or desire to use those.

The Iranians are very logical in their actions. You are not logical in your reasoning. You're basically buying into decades of propaganda about the Iranian regime.

You are right, the issue is maybe is what the Gorilla in charge (Trump) is buying to. Israel is putting Iran as Mordor and Israel tells that USA's mission is to destroy it.

Iran won't go that far, still, I start to wonder if Israel is really attacking only Iran or is preparing sabotages to keep the war active.
 
From Peter Zeihan:

"Despite the ongoing conflict in the Persian Gulf, shipping in the Strait of Hormuz remains open...sort of. The Iranians have taken control, requiring ships to get clearance for safe passage.

Basically, Iran has set up a protection racket. They're earning more from transit fees and oil exports than before the war, and all the Chinese ships carrying drone parts and components heading to Iran remain untouched. Even with the significant U.S. military presence in the region, nothing is being done to disrupt these flows.

Until that stops, Iran's military operations and economy will continue to grow stronger."

Brilliant 🙄

Well of course - it is exactly as Trump planned.
 
There is a difference between people who are Jewish and those people (because it is not always someone who is Jewish) who are rabid Zionists.
Due Dissidence is a channel very critical of Israel and has noted that many Israeli citizens support the Mileikowsky actions in Gaza (I feel that if one organizes a Genocide then I am free to "dead name" them)
both hosts have one parent who is Jewish the older one by matriarchal lineage.

Also if one follows Abby Martin she has visited Israel and Gaza in the past around the time that Rouzan al-Najjar was murdered.
so if anyone is mock shocked that Mileikowsky is engaging in Genocide to preserve his political viability (if there was peace he'd have been prosecuted and likely forced to resign)
I suggest you try to pay attention to actual valid non-establishment sources. Yes, it will take some time to vet them and look up the sources they cite... but these days trusting any cable news source exclusively is a bit (imho) naive.

Who woulda thunk that stupidly filthy rich Arab dudes, many of them royalty, would be as out of touch with reality as our very own homegrown MAGA dipshits.

some links relevant to my previous post #2,911

Poll: 62% of Israelis say “there are no innocent people in Gaza”

That's a bit of a significant amount of citizens in Israel. If there are no innocent people in Gaza then it seems a lot easier to overlook the killings of kids in Gaza....

You can bet your ass a bunch of the remaining 48% believe there are innocents there, but collateral damage is just part of the process for the chosen people. Sickos is what they are.

How would they have learned humility without which there can be no self recognition.

USA umgehen Schweizer Zahlungsstopp für Flugabwehrsystem Patriot

Der Zahlungsstopp bei Patriot hat keine Wirkung: Die USA bedienen sich stattdessen bei den Schweizer Kampfjet-Geldern.

I checked on some AI motors and damn... the Swiss commited a mistake by signing a contract that heavily benefits the US. And considering the situation I don't expect seeing the weapons being delivered in at least 5 years.
