Everybody talks about regime change in Iran, but when is someone going to liberate us from our tyrannical government? I’ll never forgive our government for the lockdowns and calling a fake national emergency.

Donald's EGO and his Arrogance have ensured that this "DEAL" will fail. ISRAEL has been thrown to the Wolves, quite literally, (after ALL she did to make sure that Trump's military campaign, would be a resounding success) and Donald does not have the faintest Idea, of what it is like to live EVERYDAY, in the Mid-East, nor, does he have the faintest CLUE, as to what Israel faces every single day she exists.

It ONLY TAKES ONE ATOMIC EXPLOSION, to wipe Israel off the face of this Earth and every thinking Israeli citizen, is fully aware of this fact, whereas Trump and his crowd, (possibly Marco Rubio being the exception), want to see as many Petro Dollars from Muslim controlled countries, flowing into the U.S. economy, in any way they can be enticed to do so.

THIS latest international foul-up on Donald's part, may cost him and the Republican Party dearly in the up coming November elections.

Trump handing Israel to Iran reminds me of eastern Europe being handed to Stalin post-WW2. Disgraceful. Trump blundered into this war the same way he blundered when he supported Carney as PM pre-election 2025. He created a whole lot of headaches for himself and suffering for the people he betrayed.

Nobody "handed" Eastern Europe to Stalin. The Red Army occupied those countries after defeating the Wehrmacht. No sane person was going to start a war with the Soviet Union so that those countries could be liberated.

Review the terms of reference of the Yalta conference.

Just exactly what were they? There was nothing in writing at Yalta that "gave" Eastern Europe to Stalin. That is a myth. The Red Army was in control on the ground, and remember, many of these countries were allies of the Third Reich (Hungary, Croatia, Rumania, Bulgaria for example). Finland was a co-belligerent. Poland of course was a victim of both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Carney is just like any other Who are antisemitism remember he said Muslim Values are Canada’s values , he will never support Israel , therefore he is supporting

Trump on this issue! Once again the Jews are being persecuted, shameful!

Wars are for power and the greed for money nothing else who cares if innocent people die, certainly not the leaders of our Country

Isreal is the Middle East problem child. Their leadership are fanatics for killing Palestinians. Fanatics for enjoying blowing up stuff. Even Trump acknowledged this.

If the Muslim nations would stop attacking Israel, there would be no wars.

America didn't go to war for Israel. Canada didn't fight at all. A simple thank you would do.

Israel has been playing whack-a-mole with the Iranian nuclear enrichment program for many years....new underground centrifuge in the desert....Whack.....new weapons scientist brought in....Whack. That's how successful the JCPOA was.....Whack. Fast forward to today and things have entered the serious kinetic stage, and will continue as such for some time, until the theocrats are totally removed. And for that to happen it will take what? Boots on the ground.....Whose boots? We know it is not going to be American boots. So, in the mean time it will be Iranian navy....Whack....Iranian Air Force.....Whack.....Missile sites.....Whack....seized Iranian assets in foreign banks....Whack....IRGC leaders.....Whack.....Ayatollah....Whack....oh look a new Deal....Whack....no deal....Whack. This is attrition in slow/fast motion. This will take time.

Shapiro's analysis of US politics is precise and always sensible.

Israel has made the biggest scoop against Hezbollah over the last several days, the IDF troops

in Southern Lebanon, discovered an underground tunnel underneath the area that covers most

of the area , a manufacturing arsenal of missiles, drones etc, enough to blow up a small

Country, Iran's largest proxy will not be suppliers of these weapons much longer, Israel is well

armed from the US to finish them.

Israel is the one who started the war and there won’t be peace until Netanyahu is removed from office.

once again, compliments on a terrific article, Mr Lilley! You did spell "Ayatollah's" in the possessive vs. the plural case, which I know you meant. Surely The Sun has a keen intern to proof read these fine articles!
