And fucking religion, what should be dusty old books still causing mayhem in this day and age.

Absolutely this!! Religion has a lot to answer for. Live for the life you have now because there’s nothing after this life. So tragic

Putin has just declared Russia's support of Iran.
Becoming concerned.

Profit profit profit for arms manufacturing and a boost for economy.

Distractions from corrupt leaders ripping off their own people (of whatever creed, colour, or religion). Their kids will be making millions from any conflict.

Sending love and peace and sweet dreams to everyone of every background who just wants peace and security.

I personally have a secular outlook but will be sending strong compassion thoughts in my practice tonight.

Iran is supplying drones to Russia.

So not surprising.

It's worrying we have such hardliners in the countries involved.

From Iran at the UN

"Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!"

None of them will get through, if they even exist. Its just sensationalist headlines, priming our population to see Iran as the bogey man so we can quietly condone more attacks on Iranian assets.

💯 this

@Dreamycinemascape and Iran is not the bogeyman?

caringcarer · 14/04/2024 00:04

Hezbollah have been bombing Israel for years. Iran funds Hezbollah. It's a very unstable situation and it could be WW3 but I sincerely hope not. To all those with family in these areas I hope they stay safe or can escape out of the area.

Thank you everyone.

I hope they won't.

I do feel however that Israel has asked for this.

I feel Israel feel very comfortable with Americas full support & protection.

So are Israel going to retaliate?

Washingupdone · 14/04/2024 00:11

I wish the Americans would help the Ukrainians.

The US won't attack Iran.

Because where will that lead?

Heard that on CNN earlier, Russia & China very likely to support Iran.. They also hate the USA...

They just shot down an Iranian drone

Is the attack over or are we expecting more tonight?

Well on CNN at the moment the news presenter is at pains to say that American fighter jets are intercepting the drones.. Also the amount of American military presence in Israel at present. It seems Israel has huge American military protection on the ground, around the gulf & in the Red Sea.

I wish the UK would stay out of this one.

So do I. Why do we have to get involved in every fucking war that's nothing to do with us?

abracadabra1980 · 14/04/2024 00:22

Worriedtothemaxx · 13/04/2024 22:29

News is reporting ballistic missiles as well as drones.
It does feel like a knife edge at the moment. I honestly hate the fact the world is ran by men. So much violence.

You are the only person I've seen that has highlighted this and it's often that I have thought. If the world could just be ran by women for a few years it would be a damn site more peaceful. No woman would order the mass murder of children.

Talk about bloody victim blaming! I do feel Israel has asked for this have you been hiding under a rock BouncebackBetty?
IRAN has been bankrolling all the terrorists especially Hamas and Hezbollah to the tune of billions of dollars.

Edited

Just like the US have been bank rolling Israel who are the definition of terrorism.

I've been saying this for ages. Just have a 30 year experiment of women running the world.

There would be loads of arguments and fallings out, quite a lot of sanctions, but no actual war.

However there are huge swathes of the planet (every single Muslim country for a start) that would never agree to this.

As always, men get into leadership, wave their willies, and ordinary people suffer.

I take it you've never heard of Ilse Koch?

Don't underestimate just how sadistic some women can be.

Mistredd · 14/04/2024 00:51

Really worrying and of course somewhat inevitable with Israel killing Iran’s generals in their own embassy. I can’t help but think Israel’s government isn’t as concerned as it should be about it’s citizen’s welfare, since it seemed intent on starting another war.
