Escalation
Iran partially suspended production at the world’s biggest gasfield, the South Pars, which it shares with neighbour Qatar, after an Israeli strike caused a fire on Saturday.

Indiscriminate Israeli killing of Qatari as indiscriminate as killing Palestinian civilians.

Israel would be better to stay away from that spot ... otherwise oil pricing will shoot up , the Qataris will start putting pressure on the US ( Hell ...they might give trump a nice 747 for his trouble)

Iran has no back up at this point from his allies . Houthis too far , Russia too involved in Ukraine, Hezbollah being recently weakened by Israel as well as Syria and the Iraqis of Shiite denomination are not in a position to help either . But the US has a lot of bases in the surrounding areas that could be vulnerable if they get involved

"We'll see" as the zen master used to say

I guess war crimes are where its at in 2025. Blatant war crimes.
But as we see in the States and with Neten-yahoo who was supposed to be on his way to jail, the criminal leaders can just ignore laws.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Soroka Hospital in Beersheba following an Iranian missile strike that damaged the facility and injured multiple people, including patients and staff. During his visit, Netanyahu condemned the attack as a blatant targeting of civilians and vowed a strong response, stating Israel would "exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran". He emphasized the contrast between Israel’s precision strikes on military and nuclear targets and Iran’s attacks on civilian infrastructure, calling the latter a symbol of the regime’s brutality."

I dunno. Sounds a little hypocritical.

Little ?

The guy is power clinching ( avoiding prison ) genocidal leader (far right pleasing) with the shame level of a sociopath .

We can only hope for the next Rabin or Barak to save the Israeli democracy from itself.

Expansionist CCP Runs Amok in Pacific After U.S. Relocates Naval Assets to Mid-East

Ask any of China’s neighbors — except for its vassal states Laos. Cambodia and North Korea — and they’ll tell you that the CCP is a regional menace.

“Over the past two years, tensions have escalated precariously in… the South China Sea — the waters off the western coast of the Philippines where an international tribunal ruled the Philippines has exclusive economic rights. But China claims almost all of the South China Sea, one of the world's most vital waterways through which trillions of dollars in goods flow each year.

“The Chinese Navy… deployed its aircraft carriers Liaoning and Shandong into the Pacific—pushing even farther beyond the First Island Chain outlined by the U.S. as part of its containment strategy—Japan’s Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) continue to closely monitor and track the deployment of the Chinese force.

China claims almost the entire South China Sea, including parts claimed by Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.”

Chinese can't get over how chaotic State economic policies can't be mitigated by anything but having children.

I watched the Grenfield video documentary on Netflix (the 2017 high rise tower fire in England).

It is always eye-opening when the cause of the large fire (the flammable fire cladding on outside of the building), and the response by 999 operators (policy to stay put in high rise buildings), and lack of a safety stairwell (filled with smoke, like the 2 towers in New York). For the previous 10 years buildings throughout the world have been burning with the same companies fire cladding panels. People moved upwards in the building to escape the smoke (as it was too thick to get through the smoke in the stairwells)
All these issues have never been addressed, or new laws made for the safety of residents in high rises, and there are still numerous buildings that still have that same cladding on buildings in England. The policy to stay in place is still in effect. One of the biggest issues is the stairwell size ( a fire fighter was saying how cramped it was to get by people on the stairwell).

If there is a fire in your highrise, what do you do? For me its get the fuck out....

A trove of documents released this week, reportedly obtained through a cyberattack on Israeli military intelligence servers, appears to confirm long-speculated claims about Israel’s “Samson Option”

Among the most alarming revelations: a list of nuclear targets that includes major cities in the United States and Europe.

The documents outline a doctrine of “mutual destruction not limited to direct aggressors,” implying that nations deemed complicit or passively supportive of Israel’s hypothetical demise could also be targeted.

“Even the possibility that allied capitals are on an allied nuclear target list is deeply disturbing,” said a European diplomat under condition of anonymity.

The diesel Dolphin Class submarine while undoubtedly a fine submarine isn't capable of launching any missile beyond a shoreline target. The 'Samson Option' previously touted as 100 remotely operated nuclear weapons planted in 25 European and American cities.

Here is a country that has foresight to build things for future generations. So they put in infrastructure for water.

While here in Canada, we keep pumping water out of the ground, that really dosen't get renewed as much as people pump the water out. The states in the SE part and southern parts have to dig wells deeper to get the wells to work. Ever since the 1930s.

Here in Canada we have to start thinking about this too for the interior of BC (snow pack melting), and AB, and Sask and MB.

The states will one day start to drain the great lakes (Superior, Michigan, Erie, Huron and Ontario) for mid and western farming practices. As most of these lakes are filled by Canadian rivers and streams

We in Canada will have to think about desalinated water, which can be piped from the west coast to the interior of BC and AB, Desalinate water from Hudson Bay to MB, Sask, ON and Quebec. Also for the eastern provinces of NS, Nfld, NB, and PEI. For power use a nuclear power plant.

In the future I can see more dams in the NWT, Yukon, and Nunavut. This will open the north up to more exploration and mining.
