US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[The SC]

Seems like Saudis have activated the agreement

View attachment 216766

Saudi Arabia , Pakistan and Turkey are making arrangements to hold a meeting of chiefs of staff to discuss ways to support the Kingdom and activate the joint defense clause according to the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement, which stipulates that any attack on any party is considered an attack on all parties.





The chiefs of staff are expected to discuss the following points:

Nature of the threat
Saudi needs
Support mechanisms
Information exchange
Air defense
Early warning
Operational coordination

 

[The SC]

Comical, one has to ask what the Saudi's been doing over the last several decades, arming themselves in the billions in hardware acquisition that they need to call in a coalition.

Had they made an effort to build a proper military rather than a family protection force, they wouldn't be in this pathetic situation.

The nature of the threat is from the Houthis only, and not from the rest of the agents of Iran and Iran ???

Because the threat has become public from the Iraqi militias, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard militias, and the Houthi militias, whose belief is the same: to reach Mecca

well, well, well

The Saudi's are not helping themselves, or anyone else by allowing these aircraft to transit it's airspace, and then try complain about Iranian, and now Houthi attacks for sympathy or help etc.

The Americans seem to have abandoned the use of Iraqi airspace, and the question is why?

Officials say US forces on track to complete Iraq pullout by Sept. 30​

so coming back to topic:

we seem at a stalemate and no diplomatic break through between the iranians and americans. War hawks on both sides want it to continue war.

This does not look good if there is no progresss on the diplomatic front, although satanyahu will be pleased as his needs are being met. He will never tolerate a settlement or peace anyway and will create trouble.....

also concern is whether how much and how many of the current american govt and rulers are compromised by CIA/Mossad/Israel.....the misuse of american military for israel's agenda is the sad and devastating part

Section 5(c) of the 1973 War Powers Act states that "at any time that United States Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by the President if the Congress so directs by concurrent resolution."

Thursday’s vote, or any of the other recent War Powers bills that have been defeated, does not repeal H. Con. Res. 86, the resolution that was passed in June. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has said in his articles of impeachment that he introduced for Pete Hegseth that the Pentagon chief is in violation of the 1973 War Powers Act by continuing the war with Iran without congressional authorization.

Massie also argues that the war was unlawful from the outset because Congress never declared war on Iran or provided authorization for the hostilities.

A remarkable confession from Tucker Carlson:
According to Carlson, Trump told him about two weeks before the war broke out that the real goals of the war were:
1- Weakening Iran significantly, which would consolidate Israeli hegemony in the region.
2- Reducing the power and influence of the Arab Gulf states.
3- Pushing American forces to withdraw from the region, considering that their presence constitutes an obstacle to Israel imposing its regional hegemony.

Peace is based on strong strength. It is earned by oneself, not given by others.

Personally, I don't put much stock in what Carlson has to say these days.

Come on dude - this is the USA. Laws don't matter !!!! We have seen this. Might is right when it comes to the USA, both internally with its own "laws" and "externally".. Massie might as well spend his last few weeks in government pissing up wind, as that will be far more productive and useful !

Personally, I don't put much stock in what Carlson has to say these days.

He has gone on record with this statement, and yes it will reflect on his credibility if he is proven to have lied. If you watch the full interview, when discussing that meeting with Trump, he does focus in on becoming precise in what was said, and his terminology.
