Penny,

Agreed all round…”Live by the sword,,,”

…”out of touch commentary”…ha ha …understatement of the year

My worse fear is an October Surprise false flag operation.

In reply to Mark.

Hi Mark
Yah, I had this one saved, but everything was moving quickly and saved it to publish as a keep it under your hat type info.

I agree, yes, the Iranian attack impacted Israel more than is being acknowledged, but, that’s to be expected.(the lack of acknowledgement)

” perhaps that is why no counter strike on Iran happened today,”
I think Israel needs the US or there will be no counterstrike.

“The American generals can read maps and can see how vulnerable their bases in Syria, Iraq and Bahrain are. No oil fueled nation wants to see the Straits of Hormuz shut down.”

– And still I read a lot of out of touch commentary – (in my opinion)
The reality is Israel’s economy is in the dumper
Their credit rating has been downgraded
The military is being harder hit then is being acknowledged
The impact on the global economy!!- inflation will sky rocket
supply lines will be disrupted.
And Israel is over extending itself all the way round.

The Strait Times article cited here came out 9/30, before Iran’s missile response and before the IDF’s ‘limited incursion’ bloody nose along the border in southern Lebanon. ( Limited incursion ? Talk about the IDF tempering expectations for an operation they knew must fail ) Ask the Israeli Special Forces who are burying their dead today if Hezbollah is “reeling”.
I believe the Iranian attack seriously impacted the Israeli Air Force. To my knowledge we have not seen the Israelis deploy conventional medium range missiles, they do not have any hyper-sonic weapons. The carnage they have unleashed on Gaza, the West Bank, in Lebanon and Syria have all been aircraft dropped guided munitions. Any aircraft approaching Iran now would be vulnerable to Russian supplied air defense technology, perhaps that is why no counter strike on Iran happened today, and perhaps we will not see one until the US is ready to commit to an all out cataclysm.
I do not believe that the Pentagon is willing to do that, certainly not before their election and even latter. The American generals can read maps and can see how vulnerable their bases in Syria, Iraq and Bahrain are. No oil fueled nation wants to see the Straits of Hormuz shut down.
