There goes the "Best post in a long time on TNCR."

I'm pretty certain the West's military-industrial complex is up to the job of replacing whatever is used quicker than any of us imagine; and also of prioritising production, e.g. of useful new arms such as long range drones.

[AndyD]

100 days into the war, Israel precision bombed the Hezbollah command centre for Lebanon, 10 missiles hit a tower block in Beirut.
Retaliation has been promised.

Im getting close to the point where, when Trump says ‘we’re very close to a deal’, my priors update in the opposite direction.

[jon-nyc]

Former Israeli intelligence officer.

[Horace]

"Blocked Israel"? He's commander in chief of the Israel army now?

[jon-nyc]

Israel has one friend left in the world (two if you count Eritrea) and Trump’s been known to hold a grudge for being disrespected. So yeah, blocked in a de facto sense.

[Horace]

We'll see. It is not set in stone, and any confident prediction that Trump is capable of effecting a unilateral cease-fire from Israel's side is posturing. It may turn out to be true that Israel doesn't respond this time, maybe, but it's hardly definite. Bibi is vowing reprisal as we speak.

Also it seems to me that Bibi has not acted as Trump's puppet throughout this conflict, and has done things against Trump's wishes from time to time.

[Mik]

Yeah, I don’t see how it’s really restricted Israel. They’re pretty self determined. It’s just Trump mouthing off.

Israel strikes back at Iran:

[Doctor Phibes]

The Most Important Man in the World isn't going to like that. Once he wakes up from his nap, of course.

[jon-nyc]

Here’s a different take:

[jon-nyc]

‘Both sides’ now means Israel and Iran apparently.

[AndyD]

Is it true you can see Trump's ego from space?

[Doctor Phibes]

Nobody knows more about ignorance and stupidity.

[Tom-K]

Well, I see this entire Iran war as Trump trying to save Israel (and the world) from Iran starting some nuclear apocalypse. I can't imagine any other reason we have all those boats over there. I totally agree Hezbollah are a bunch of monsters and they need to be scoured off the face of the earth but maybe that could be next year's project? Lets just take care of Iran then Israel can do whatever they want in Lebanon. Maybe Netanyahu could take a little longer view of things.

[Mik]

Hezbollah will cease to exist in any significant way if Iran cannot fund them.

[AndyD]

Hezbollah really need to stop firing into Israel.
Poke poke poke that grizzly.

And what's this rumour about Trump buying the Chagos Islands ?
