29. The assault itself is an unnecessary war of aggression.

All that follows is a war crime.

Add to that our fearless leader speaks of stealing Iran's oil resources.

Assassination by targeting political and religious leaders is also war crime.

We look at losing all the military bases in the Middle East, our allies, our soldiers and taking a huge and enduring economic and political loss.

In all likelihood, there will be retaliation against Americans in general and maybe inside the USA.

It is BULLSHIT to parse words and specific acts.

Israel has the opening to extend Gaza to southern Lebanon.
