Cute. What do you call it? A police action? Special military operation? Bombing campaign? Incursion? Intervention? Pre-emptive non-invasion to prevent future Iranian invasions? Assault? Onslaught? Inroad to regime change? Foray? Trespass of Iranian airspace with munitions? Oh, a campaign? Just...

Well, Iranian oil accounts for approximately 12% to 15% of China's total crude oil imports. While official customs data often masks these, Iran's exports to China reached around 1.38 to 1.4 million barrels per day in 2025, making China the purchaser of over 80% of Iran's oil. But Wait! There’s...

I do actually understand where Starmer is coming from. Did the US really have a legal basis under imminent threat to invade Iran? That’s Keir Starmer’s hold back and hesitation. That was then, before Hezbollah attacked British soil on Cyprus, which is a different situation altogether...

Well, damned if you do &/or still attacked by Iranian proxy Hezbollah if you don’t. Britain “could” just roll up in the Mediterranean and retaliate against Hezbollah independent of either Israel or America Trump, forging its own path with a clear conscience that it stood by its own morals and...

Anywho, Israel and the United States pounded Iran on Monday in an escalating campaign that U.S. President Donald Trump said would likely take several weeks. Tehran and its allies hit back across the region, striking Israel and a variety of targets inside Gulf states, including energy facilities...

Well, since this is the “Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis” thread…leading the attack on this topic…”I’ll take Vladimir Putin for $200 Alex!” (?) I’m assuming that’s not where you’re going though.😁

Ahhh…ok. I was confused by the… So in the latest new chapter or episode of this ongoing goat rodeo, Hezbollah had pulled them (being Lebanon) into a new conflict with Israel…but they really meant the old same old etc…& not a new conflict? Ok, so “Many Lebanese were angry that Hezbollah had...

Pulled them into a new conflict how? Probably not through prank phone calls. Does it? If so then why? Due to being attacked by an Iranian proxy from Lebanon that Lebanon doesn’t have a firm grip on (?) or something more nefarious and conspirial?

Many Lebanese were angry that Hezbollah had pulled them into a new conflict with Israel, just 15 months after the last war that devastated swathes of the country. In a social media post, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam wrote that the rocket attacks on Israel were “an irresponsible and suspicious act...

No idea. Did he?

Ukrainians celebrated the disruption of the shadow alliance between Iran and Russia, rightly calling Tehran’s military aid to Moscow “a gross violation of international law.” Anyone criticizing the U.S-Israeli strikes, and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as a violation of international...

“WestJet employees said they tried to look for hotel rooms, and then they said, ‘no, everything is shut down. You’re on your own,’” she said. “And they left. They just left. So we were left in the airport. Everything was shut down.” “They made us responsible to find our own hotel and to book...

Hmmm…could be a coincidence?

Which seven countries? Are any of them shown on the above map? The U.S.-Israeli air war against Iran expanded on Monday with no end in sight, engulfing Lebanon with Israel responding to strikes by Hezbollah, while Tehran fired missiles and drones at Israel, Gulf states and a British air base in...

"America has the most powerful military on earth, and the IRGC no longer has a headquarters," CENTCOM said. As missiles continued to rain on Tehran, President Donald Trump said the war could go on for a month, telling the Daily Mail that "it's always been a four week process." (?? Then what??)...

Are we at war with Israel or Iran?

Am I misguided here above (?) or does this look like it’s potentially what we might be looking at from November going forward for the next two years?

Gabor Lukács, who is an air passenger rights advocate, said WestJet must rebook passengers on the next available flight within 48 hours of the original departure on its own or partner airlines. If that doesn’t happen, he says they are obligated to pay for seats on other airlines’ next available...

I’m only 56 at this point, and my “Better Dead than Red” exposure was from old movies pre-cable back when we only had three Chanel’s, one of those in French because Canadian Prairies, etc…

In a different industry in what seems like a lifetime ago, I’ve been on 68 reserves (I actually counted them), & most of those repeatedly, and the stories of the things I’d seen & done would read like fiction. Empathy on your statement.
