Indeed you are on the money Ralph, however here’s a hypothetical for you, let’s say the Iranian government had been a nice benevolent one, one that the people loved. Under those circumstances would Trump have bombed them? If they hadn’t been a major sponsor of terrorists would the US have had the gumption to do what they did? I think not. So whilst it’s about geopolitics and oil, the backdrop of a horrible government killing its citizens gave the U.S. the moral virtue signaling they needed to strike and even then the leftards are losing it - of course ! If Obama had done it they’d be giving him another Nobel Peace Prize.

Good Grief Sumon. You are that willing to put your stupidity on full public display? What is wrong with you?

Meanwhile as a nation we no longer produce our own Oil or Gas and as a Safety Advisor that worked on the decommissioning of the Olefines Oil & Gas facility in Botany, I certainly don’t recall you or any other politician speaking out against it.

What we have is a club of vested interests lurking about in Canberra and that are willing to trade their own morals for 30 pieces of silver and sell their nation out in the process.

Let’s not forget the Gas reserves in the Gaza Marine that are about to be swindled by the Zionists and the United States.

If Senator Babet was partially fairdinkum he would be calling for the Australian Oil and Gas industry to be resurrected and so that Australia could be independent and self reliant, as opposed to giving us a modern history lesson on nations that are avoiding the sanctions being imposed by a creep and a pedophile president.

Here is a rather different analogy of the situation. I have respect for Scott Ritter's opinion. He has been involved in this area of geopolitics for some time. The US has always wanted to get into Iran, part of the seven countries takeover or regime change. Watch the interview to get a point of view that is not mainstream.

The Americans have been interfering in Iran's politics since the 50s. Isn't the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria with the resultant refugee wave into Europe enough? Are we really served by a unipolar world, which let's be honest would be a world run by Anglo-american corporations? What's next after Iran? China? Russia? This is insanity. This is a struggle that will never be won. There will only be losers.

The Prime Minister of Israel made about seven trips to the USA in the last year or so, all since Trump became president. They have been working on the greater Israel project for some time now. After wrecking Gaza and killing tens of thousands the decision was made to move on to Iran and take them out which incidentally is the last of the Middle East nations to fall in recent times. But will Iran be the push over they have hoped for? Things may not go to plan, and it might be a long war and Trump hasn't ruled out putting boots on the ground. It's early days and we will have to watch closely to see which way the cat will jump. Rumor has it that Iran may have weapons that they have yet to roll out. There might be some surprises coming in the next few days. In the mean time don't be too eager to rush to judgment on this one.

Ralph, this war is just one more staged event by the Committee of 300. Its a pantomime.

Lave ya work Ralph. Yeah. Rather the devil we know for sure.

I really hope the coalition can get this thing done quickly, although I see another Iraq with mass collateral damage and human suffering.

Im praying there is not an ISIS 2 forming to take on the Yanks on the ground, although for us here in Australia it could serve as a Godsend and the ISIS moles and their brood will head back to the carnage. Maybe they might recruit others and the entire mob will leave our shores, never to return, this time.......

The Iranians living in Melbourne were celebrating. That tells me it was a good thing. But they are already warning inflation will rise and petrol prices will skyrocket in Australia, does that mean our Government is just taking advantage to blame someone else again for rising costs of living?

A lot of of us knew there was more to it 30 years ago they said they were gonna have nuclear capabilities and they still haven’t got there. That’s just Israel got a bigger plan to control the Middle East. It is a good thing they got rid of this dictator, but you’ll never get the truth on mainstream media at least a lot more people are starting to wake up and don’t believe the government and the deep state controlled by Israel

to quote another person.

it's about routes, resources and ideology.

Like a couple of dogs pissing on a tree in

someone else's yard.

and ideology has got SFA to do with this.
