The war criminals will keep committing war crimes as long as they are allowed to without punishment. Russia was kicked out of international sporting events and the Eurovision for less crimes against humanity than Russia.

Russia are obviously also scumbags but we should at least be evenhanded in our condemnation of Israel lest we look like the hypocrites our governments clearly are.

The US cannot just cut off trade with one EU country. If he tries to do this then EU policy is to act as one, the mechanisms for this are already in place. This is just more pointless bluster from the orange pedi.

The Israeli air defense system is far from impenetrable as we saw from the last Israeli Iranian war when Israel was repeatedly rocked by Iranian missiles. The air defense can be overloaded by saturation attacks and are unreliable/unable to stop hypersonic missiles which Iran does possess.

When Israel attacked Iran last year they did not expect Iran’s response to be as effective as it turned out to be and needed to ask the Americans for help. This time the Israelis made sure to have US back up from the beginning.
