Scholz has done that one before with Schill in Hamburg. Move to the right, which gave Schills small party a win and really hurt Hamburg. The good news is that Schill does reality tv nowadays. So I look forward to AFD leadership penis jokes on some beach in Brazil.

Israels support of Hamas is a pretty good starting point. That one pretty clearly shows, how the Israeli government continues that situation.

The other one is looking at the situation from an Israeli perspective. Iran is the most open anti Israel country right now. A lot of other countries in the region, do not like Iran either and are somewhat willing to work together with Israel. That is Saudi Arabia for example. The issue is that the situation in Palestine is preventing that alliance from forming. So a deal with the Palestinians gives Israel greater security in the region as well. If done right that would only mean the northern border to Lebanon and Syria is challenged.

No elections are scheduled to be held in October 2026, but the coaltion is very likely going to break as soon as the war ends.

When a BBC correspondent phoned a company to clarify the details about the length of a shift, the recruiter refused to provide the information, but immediately offered to hire the reporter.

LOL

There are anti war protests in Israel against Netanyahu since Hamas attack on the October 7th. As soon as the fighting ends an new election will be called and Netanyahu is probably going to loose that one. That would mean a more moderate government for Israel and the chance for a deal with the PLO. However a war with Iran delays this and we know what is going on in Palestine right now.

A weaker Iran might help, but the way of getting rid of Iran as a problem is a revolution within Iran. I doubt a war against Israel would help with that.

Israel and Iran going for a real war, would make the currently bad situation even worse. However it does come with the advantage that both countries might get rid of their shitty leaders.

You have basically two sites. One loves the fact that Arabs and Jews kill each other and want the war to continue. They support ending German aid to Palestine and so forth. The other wants to end US warmongering in the region, caused by US support of Islamic terrorist in attacking Israel. Yes I did not mix that up, the US according to some in the AFD Biden supports Hamas.

Yes, if the Houthis would act differently, I would judge them differently.

But they do not.

$7trillion is three times the GDP if Brazil. It is bigger then the US federal budget. Seriously it is insane.

They had 700 tanks in decent shape in storage in about July. However tanks will be in factories being refurbished and obviously a lot more tanks are on the front line. That are very likely a few thousand tanks.

So they probably will start to have problems replacing losses soonish. They might buy some from North Korea or Iran though.

Even a Trump victory would not mean an end of the fighting though. Europe is supplying more weapons then the US and Ukraine also has arms production. So no overruning Ukraine.

The line is reduce, reuse and then recycle for a reason. Not buying something and buying second hand are affordable for everybody. Unfortunatly the later takes more time.

Also boots theory is something to keep in mind. As in buying quality is often cheaper over the long term.

Right now the Houthis in practise blockade the Bab-el-Mandeb for everybody. The first ship they sunk Rubymar, was Belize flagged and Lebanese operated and ultimatly owned. It also caused a massive enviromental disaster in the region, due to carrying fertilizer.

What I am saying, is that an act of war against Lebanon, is not a moral response to actions of the state of Israel.

However you clearly disagree with that and consider any and all action justified as long as somebody labels them anti Israel.
