146 sats \ 9 replies \ @Taft 19 Oct \ on: Leaked US Intelligence Documents Related To Israel's Attack Preparations On Iran news
If it is real, I think it is being released deliberately by US intelligence to stop the Israeli attack. No one wants the conflict between Israel and Iran to escalate. It's too dangerous.

That's definitely a possibility. Who knows? I really don't know who's the dog and who's the tail.

Pretty convinced the US is the top dog but there are rouges and Israeli politics isn't lock step. On top of that Israeli politicians lobby and even threaten US politians. Check out what Thomas Massey has said about how he was targeted. I don't know what is going on. It seems messy and complex. Far more complex than one would think just listening to the politictians an/news.
My gut is telling me conflict is being triggered to increase military spending. I don't think anyone on the US side wants full out war but they sure seem willing to risk it. That said, I do think regime change in Iran has been a todo for the US for over 20 years.

Yes. Lots of moving pieces. I must admit the AIPAC stuff infuriates me.

Have you seen that old Ron Paul speech where he explains how the Israelies created Hamas to defeat the more moderate PLO?
Reminds me of how the US funded Bin Ladin

I should clarify. It's a specific party and even people in Israeli government. Just as it was in the US.

Yes. History has shown that these things happen. It is a fact.

That's cowardly and high time preference. Iran is working towards getting nukes. We should be stopping that now by defeating them. Not buck passing so Harris can win her election.

The way the world is, right now, I wouldn’t think too much about the reason for the release. There are just too many murky motives for doing it, either way. Especially lately, there seems to be a lot of confusion and in-fighting about policies. It doesn’t help to try to sort them out.
