We are about to find out how much Bibi and his cult have been lying to us and the rest of the world. "Yellow cake" redux [View all]

For how long have we heard that Iran could drop a nuke on Israel or anywhere within weeks or days? Maybe it's been for 30 years or more?

All along, Iran and outside overseers have said not so. Obama made a pretty damn good agreement with which Iran was complying for the most part. Now we are finding out that what Iran was really doing was updating their missel offense system to protect itself from Israeli aggression. Looks like Trump is wavering on whose side to take because Israel as an absolute winner is looking dimmer. Trump wants to be on the side of the winner or the "perceived winner." The the opening to give him a chance to see how the bombing winds are blowing.

In the meantime, Israeli citizens are suffering not to mention the Gazan victims of Bibi's incessant killing of starving women and children. Bibi has succeeded in making the Iranian regime less hated by its people. Time to call in the grown ups with enough courage to sanction Israel for its seemingly unstoppable obsession for occupying and killing Palestinians and other Arabs and taking their land. We are never going to be on the right side of history until we get this right.
