...#MAGA (#MoscowAgentGriftingAmeric) in centuries, Putler is proving to be the most successful military-alliances salesmen for the #US:

Via #ABCnews:

"#Australia, #US and #UK confirm #Japan could be brought into #AUKUS fold on eve of #Kishida's Washington visit...

But they've stopped short of announcing a formal expansion of the AUKUS partnership, which has been the subject of ongoing speculation..."

With all due respect, asking the wrong questions rarely leads to the right answers, let alone solutions that work.

And if assumptions are incorrect, an analysis is incomplete or even faulty, the deductions and conclusions can never be correct, even if they sound reasonable

I agree.
I'd go even further re/ "de-escalation," though:

The #MullahRegime needs a face-saving "victory" against the aggressor, at least for it's populace.
Telling the world and rubbing it in that "you accomplished nothing" will only anger the Mullah Regime further, as well as a big part of the #Iranian people, against #Israel and the West ("Death to America!")
IDF and Netanyahu Regime: tone it down, better STFU!

...almost willing to bet.
I've been saying it for months: #Netanyahu needs war, if necessary even escalation. As soon as the war is over, he will face criminal charges.

No, he's not a madman, but utterly ruthless and doesn't care about non-Jewish lives at all, and #Jewish lives only if it serves him politically.

Sounds reasonably true.

However, w/o telling him to desist from further escalation or else...it will not work.

Besides, "Bibi" is the guy who embarrassed mighty Ronald Reagan twice with severe acts of aggression. (Interesting #TheEconomist pod last week--paywalled.)
For decades, the US always had his back. He's not going to change now, not in his old age and with his political and legal back against the wall.

...nation hostage is, IMO, a casus belli. Portugal should consider invoking #NATO Article 5.
The mass delivery of #Iranian drones to #RussiaIsATerroristState causes enormous hardships in the #WarInUkraine. The West is footing the gigantic financial bill.
Maybe it is time to solve the weapons problems at its root: take ot #Iranian drone and ballistic missiles factories as a response.

Once it has nuclear warheads, this...

...behind his big brother.

Yes, #Israel's right to exist must not be questioned and must be defended.
But we all know what happens if "some animals are more equal than others."

The #Netanyahu Regime and the IDF personnel must face justice at the #ICJ; so must #Hamas and #Iran for its probable act of piracy.

In fact, I am not familiar enough with shipping laws, but just holding the crew of a ship from a #NATO nation...

...Also, the "ironclad support" must be within the framework of international law: if the Netanyahu Regime clearly is the aggressor or escalates situations beyond any reasonable retaliatory measures (#Gaza, #IranianConsulate in #Syria,) it cannot be that the West defends #Israel against--reasonable--retaliation.

It is like the nasty small guy on the playground that hits others and then quickly runs away, hiding...

What is the source, please?
