    I know some of them personally my friend..
    But yeah, I am still able to be optimistic.
    Feel free to sulk in the convenience of your home. The war is close to ending while no US 'Boots on the ground' and yet nothing can make you feel positive...
    All US had to do was a one flyby to lead the middle east to a more stable future and yet no one here is able to realise it..

    I think if that's all that were needed it would have been done a long time ago.

    I am not sulking at home, @2Fluffy4U I am going to a protest. That is what I do.

    According to New York Times report the decision to attack Iran, who has very unpleasant government but most decidedly has not attacked the US, was based not on intelligence (Trump refuses to read the Presidential Daily Briefing) but on Trump's "feelings" and "instincts". Who needs fact when you have Trump's instincts?

    The Regime will stand for now. I only hope the Iranian people can be strong enough to overthrow the theocracy of oppression.

    I hope the Israeli people can oust the genocidal psychopaths who rule over them while taking their religion hostage behind the veil of an imperial apartheid state.

    Here's hoping.

    Agree with all, but forgot to mention some most important facts too:
    1. Hamas (Iran proxy) is weakend.
    2. Hizballah (Iran proxy) is now practically banned by Lebanon.
    3. Iran lost most signficant part of their armed forced (Nuclear + Balistic).
    All those combine into one outmost important fact somehow not mentioned:
    The Middle East is now more stable and safer place for all people living in it.
    Thats THE FACT.

    Additional facts.

    Israel's approval across the world is at an all-time low. A pariah state whose economy is on the brink of collapse and the citizens fleeing by the thousands.

    Israel will be lucky if it's still standing 5 years from now.

    That's the FACT.

    Stick and stones..
    I rather be addressing (removing) the stick and stones first. Words can change afterwards. Being a Pariah state is not a problem for any Israeli actually living under existential threat. But I understand how difficult it is to actually grasp these kind of feelings when not actually living under such conditions.
    The probable scenario is:
    Once the region quiets down due to being more stable - Israel will return to being a regular boring western-values country mostly known for their water irrigation systems and Waze/Thumb drive inventors (and excellent Eurovision songs).

    And one more thing: saying 'Israel is lucky if it still standing 5 years from now' is defenitely NOT a fact. That is called an 'Opinion' / Future Assumption. Inherently - Not a FACT. FACT

    Apartheid is not a western value. That's why Israel's standing amongst the international (and American) communities is falling drastically. But you're welcome to keep digging yourself into a bigger hole.

    but it is kind of fun watching Tucker, MTG, Gabbard, Trump, Musk and Vance go at each other in public. ..

    He's going to say they aren't the crazy ones despite the apartheid and genocide they've created. Despite attacking all of their neighboring nations. Despite sending Mossad agents to supply American children to powerful people as leverage in times like this. That's just scratching the surface.

    Israel literally wouldn't exist without U.S. taxpayers.

    It would sure be a lot easier to join no nuke prolifiration treaties once the region becomes peacful.
    And I do hope these recent events actually get us closer to that future.

    You are welcome to promote the removal of Israel stick and stones. For each their own interests. I understand it.
