Negotiating with Iran is a fool's errand. If we are actually going to destroy its nuclear facilities then we should do it now.

And another mostly useless power projection from Putin. Seems that all these 2 want to do is toss rocks at each other.  

How long is this going to go on until someone stands up and ends it?

Putin has alluded in the past to having a conventional weapon as powerful as a nuke. To retaliate against that with nukes would require the breakage of nuclear non-proliferation treaties, making Putin some sort of good-guy and us the scum of the Earth.

What, a front attack against the US? They know better than to do that. Let ukraine get destroyed, it's not our problem.

Ukraine will get destroyed and I agree that it is not our problem.

So i guess overnight ( for us anyway ) Israel attacked Iran.  And Trump said they better not retaliate.

I guess that means its officially started?  Or is this just 'yet another middle-east skirmish'? ( i know.. its all opinions at this point. But to me this 'feels' like its more )

Well, Iran is shooting missiles at Israel now.  We will see if Trump will back up his words. ( i doubt it as he likes to wave the stick but backs down when he gets pushed back )

I do hope our friend from there is ok. 

Looks like Tel Aviv got hit pretty hard.

The death toll is currently at 2 but property damage is likely worse.

Looks like the world has caught on fire while  i was away from home, and barely on line. 

So when does a sleeper cell here do something and drag us into the Israel / Iran conflict?  Any bets?

Why is Trump being so weak on Iran?

Slowly rising, but i agree, most people hit the shelters in time to be 'safe' but the buildings and industry.. will be hit hard.

I doubt hes capable of doing anything, if he woke up from his nap.

A sleeper cell? You mean Lindsey Graham?

"President leaves G7 conference early to return to Washington and states that Iran needs to immediately evacuate Tehran. "    Something is cooking.
