    When Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023, I immediately said, "Oh $hit... this could be the beginning of WWIII. Israel is gonna fight back HARD, and if other factions like the Houthis or Hezbollah get involved.. backed by Iran... it's gonna escalate."

    That's happened, and it's continuing to escalate.

    Was I correct? Is it true that we seeing the beginning of World War III?

    Not really .. when Hamas attacked and invaded Israel and killed scores of civilians mainly at a festival in a preplanned event it was certainly a desire to keep going until Israel is destroyed if Hamas could it certainly would…This is nothing new and this is why Israel emphasizes a strong military because it HAS to…

    we know the evil Iran regime is the real puppet master because they have ties to Hezbollah, Yemen, and Hamas…Then you have countries that are friends with Hamas like Turkey (Which in itself should get that country kicked out of NATO)

    If World War III was started I will say it would be either Iran or China as a main instigator so Is there a concern with Iran of course

    WWW 3 may start had Trump did not survive his assassination. We came literally that close to the shiit hitting the fan.

    No idea - but I do know that we shouldn't be sending aid or selling weapons to Israel.

    We should have no real strong relationship with them one way or another.

    Let Israel and Iran on their own fight for control of the region - and then they will both be smacked back to reality by the Saudi's.

    I do feel bad that Iraq is stuck in the middle of all of it, we invaded and then abandoned them.

    Still undetermined. Iran could've done something harder with their president dying from a helicopter crash. Israel also fired into their airspace, and Iran's "response" was more of a demo of what they could do "without trying" rather than escalating with Israeli deaths.

    I don't think Iran is totally against direct war, but if they're seen as aggressors, then it makes it easier to invoke the Abraham Accords and bring Saudi and other Sunni states in the fray.

    Iran doesn't have nukes as a deterrent (yet), but their proxies act something like it. It's the threat of a "million" Hezbo missiles and whatever spare change Ham and Hooties can give that makes Israel and everyone else hesitate against Iran. But once they use it, it'd be like Israel using their nukes. It'd cause a reaction for unconditional regime change.

    Maybe Iran only steps in once Israel knocks out Hezbollah and Syria (lol). If Boobi can pull that off, I don't think Israel would be a 1/5th of the power it is right now.

    But for now, Iran is happily playing minecraft, by building tunnels and shipping stuff through mine carts to destroy those pesky Demons and the Great Satan.

    It goes to show you.

    How many presidents and prime ministers in the world have been assassinated in the last 200 years that started a world war? The hard core dip sh*ts that follow the grifter just would not be able to handle it though I guess.

    Trump is the newer and fatter Franz Ferdinand.

    Better than the fool who’s denying his lying eyes and ears and follows the narrative of the machine that sets up this hit that’s nearly caused WWW 3. You have to be an eternal dipshit moron to believe in the gaslighting crap that they’re feeding you every second just because of your disdain for Trump.

    Islamic powers are ganging up on Israel. At some point, Israel is going to need a nation to fight with them, and I suspect it will be the US and then possibly NATO.

    ....aaaand Israel just attacked Beirut, targeting the Hezbollah commander (Fuad Shukr) who was responsible for the Druze attack. Lebanon is reporting that Shukr survived the attack. If this is true, I suspect Israel will attack again.

    There's always the possibility when people don't learn from their or other's mistakes.

    If US wasn't backing Israel, WWIII wouldn't be in the cards. Shouldn't be.
