They learned to live with the Israeli nuke, which I believe is a defensive weapon, yet when Iran started spouting off about their nuclear ambitions, suddenly SA wants them and most likely, others. I could see escalation and reaction, depending on the faction ruling in anyone of those countries.Probably not. They value a peaceful, civil society. Haven't you noticed? I think specifically for the Gulf States
The best way out of this is for Russians to revolt and refuse to engage in this war any longer, and if it’s necessary to take Putin out as part of that, so be it.
That may have been his objective, but his strategy wasn't going to get us there...lolLisa558
Nope. Obama's strategy was to delay further nuclear weapons for 20 years.
The Iranians were in compliance according to the Europeans and our intelligence. Trump just wanted a headline and revenge against Obama.That may have been his objective, but his strategy wasn't going to get us there...lol
The agreement brokered by Lurch was flawed bigly. End of storyThe Iranians were in compliance according to the Europeans and our intelligence. Trump just wanted a headline and revenge against Obama.
Of course KSA wants a nuclear weapon. They have been forced into that position by Israeli threats to bomb Iran for the past 25 years. During the Yom kippur war the Israelis threatened to bomb the American oil installations in Arabia if Nixon didn't resupply them.They learned to live with the Israeli nuke, which I believe is a defensive weapon, yet when Iran started spouting off about their nuclear ambitions, suddenly SA wants them and most likely, others.

Nope. It was a good deal. Trump wanted a headline.The agreement brokered by Lurch was flawed bigly. End of story

Thank you for YOUR opinion. duly noted.Nope. It was a good deal. Trump wanted a headline.
I hope Putin stays stuck in his shit and then the arrival of more military weapons will eventually exterminate them as rats as they are.
The Iranians were never inspected. We were trusting the Russians on that one. Remember?The Iranians were in compliance according to the Europeans and our intelligence. Trump just wanted a headline and revenge against Obama.
Who’s Lurch supposed to be? Kerry? if so, I agree…..he’s an anti-Israel antisemite who doesn’t give a flying f about the Israeli Jews.The agreement brokered by Lurch was flawed bigly. End of story
Wow. You have an interesting way of defending the attacking Arabs, don’t you? You missed two key points in your desperation to support the antisemitic Muslims:Of course KSA wants a nuclear weapon. They have been forced into that position by Israeli threats to bomb Iran for the past 25 years. During the Yom kippur war the Israelis threatened to bomb the American oil installations in Arabia if Nixon didn't resupply them.
Oh bullshit! You've been "studying" what the media tells you. Grow a brain.I've been studying the events in Ukraine and I'm seeing nothing buy lose-lose for Putin and his enablers in the Kremlim.
UKRAINE was supposed a "fait accompli." To be completed and over before the rest of the world or Ukraine could react. Then, like Crimea, something we don't like but about which nothing can be done.
UKR has fought back magnificently so the quick win is out. This is going to become Russia's Afghanistan part II.
The Sanctions are killing the Russian economy.
But
Not surprisingly, other than the oil speculators taking it in the shorts, the global economy is adjusting to life w/o Russia.
This was is now the greatest threat to Putin's power since he got VP under Yeltsin.
That's where we are.
Putin's goals are shattered. Not only can he not win in UKR, his personal future is mostly likely filled with assassination or execution.
Do, How does Russia get out of Ukraine while Putin saves face?
Personally, I don't see it.
The longer the war goes, the greater the opposition in Russia and the greater the likelihood of revolt among Russian leadership.
Stop the war and withdraw and the probability of arrest, imprisonment, and execution increase.
Try to draw NATO into the war by hitting NATO countries will result in Russia's and Putin's destruction.
Ukraine will not accept Russian occupation of the "contested" areas and there is some chance that Ukraine, with sufficient weapons and support actually crosses into Russian territory.
All very dangerous.
And
I don't see a way out.
Where in the wide wide world of sports have you been?Russia's oil exports have gone up oddly enough and i think you will find western Europe will find ways to do business with Russia.
Its a mistake to think Europe has ended Russian oil imports. They havent and most likely wont.
"So far, there are indications that some of the larger EU countries are less keen than countries in the east of the EU to pursue the fastest possible reduction in Russian oil flows. Outside of the EU, the UK’s ban on the import of Russian oil has proved less dramatic than the headlines that accompanied the initial announcement, as it does not take effect until the end of 2022. In the private sector, while several companies have given assurances they will buy no more Russian oil on the spot market, there have been very few indications given about if, when, and how they will cut the volume of Russian oil purchased through their term contracts. Meanwhile, statements from some governments and some companies do appear to have become less hawkish over the past week, with an apparent lengthening of the timespan envisaged for the process of reducing dependence.
Why Oil Crashed Back Below $100 | OilPrice.com
Energy markets have entered correction mode after oil prices almost reached $140 per barrel, but one thing is certain, the current slump was caused more by a shift in positioning than a real change in fundamentalsoilprice.com
StanChart says that Russian oil trade into Europe appears to be moving further into the shadows of term contracts and a greater reliance on third-party trading intermediaries. That does not make trading with Russia any less distasteful for European public opinion, but it does make the trade less visible and thus likely keeps oil flows from Russia higher than they would have been with more direct government targeting of those flows."

How were they forced? SA wasn't threatening to exterminate them like the Iranians do, at least not since maybe the 50's or 60's.Of course KSA wants a nuclear weapon. They have been forced into that position by Israeli threats to bomb Iran for the past 25 years. During the Yom kippur war the Israelis threatened to bomb the American oil installations in Arabia if Nixon didn't resupply them.
Do you remember the student protests before the Iranian revolution?The Iranians value a peaceful society?...lol
Israel isn't going down.How were they forced? SA wasn't threatening to exterminate them like the Iranians do, at least not since maybe the 50's or 60's.
Israel does have a right to exist.
I read the US would face 'dire consequences', and I don't think it was oil fields, more like targets all over the EU...ala the Sampson Option....if Israel was going down.
