This guy is overflowing with doublespeak. It’s a war crime if Russia does it, but mitigating circumstances if US does it.
Losing respect for DW.
🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜😜
That’s absurd Brian. Your. Advocating a war crime.
WMD2.0
Russia should help Iran defund themselves against TERRORISTS
LOL 13 DAY of strikes months after Trump administration said they obligated Iran's military capabilities and yet Iran still has ability to strike back opps USA wrong again
Just sink a US carrier and everyone on the US side will be shaking.
Hudson Institute 😂🤡
German Media and Hudson institute are quite match for war crime!
"The Hudson Institute (a Washington, DC-based public policy think tank) is funded by a diverse mix of individuals, private foundations, corporations, and foreign governments, as well as revenue from defense contractors."
Why isn't DW mentioning this?
War crime is war crime whether the USA do, or Russia does.
SOUNDS PHUCKING GAY ARMY WHIMPS
World (Proxy) War III
This guy thinks that the us losing a navy ship in the strait would bring Iran to the negotiating table, odd.
The 2-week buffoon.
Who has DW hired that is using Axios as some kind of trusted media source? LOL?!!
Trump is a puppet of Israel. It is no different than any other politician in USA with the exception of a very few. Democrats are just as bad.
The Israeli owners of USA are willing to fight Iran to the last American and the only way out is for the US to regain their independence from Israel.
Teardrop on repeat doesn't sound that bad!
Air strikes alone don’t win the war & cannot substitute boots on the ground. Military men don't wear uniforms to look handsome but to fight & even sacrifice their lives for a cause. When to put boots on the ground should be an issue rather than never to put boots on the ground. After sustained bombing for 6 weeks or more & US will have to do occupation of secure strategic land. Ralph Peters’ blood borders now remain the only option for US victory against Iran & payback act against Pakistan which had brought about humiliating US defeat in Afghanistan & has now given 6 land trade routes to China via its seaports through Pakistani Baluchistan to transport goods/(arms) to Iran.
With US help Baluchistan (from where Pakistan’s Quetta Shura of terrorists brought about humiliating defeat of US & NATO) can be liberated by Baluch fighters on both sides of Iran Pakistan border, Pashtuns can take over their historic Frontier province from Pakistan, Kurds can take Iranian Kurdish areas.
Netanyahu has hinted about India's support as Pakistan has illegally occupied Indian territory of Jammu & Kashmir giving China strategic access to Indian Ocean through it & where residents are fighting for freedom. UK & France can join in to undo their Sykes-Picot wrongs which had promised Kurdish nation.
“You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war” ― Churchill to Chamberlain. Neville Chamberlain chose dishonor & got both “War & Shame” & Britain lost numero uno place in the world. Trump & US will meet the same fate if Trump chooses dishonored peace. It is either TACO moment or historic moment for the US which will determine America’s correct global status in the world.
Allah is the light of the heavens and the Earth.
I doubt China is particularly worried about Trump's threats considering they are saving his but with the oil price.
Israel has a nuclear armed sub in the gulf of Oman. Oil prices are headed up. Both straits are nearly blocked. Iran will retaliate against anyone helping the US and Israel. Houthis now provoked, are poised to act. GCC highly vulnerable. Global depression looming. But let's have a poised little conversation of limited scope about the most serious crisis of the century, now at a very scary stage.
Sorry, but Iran is launching massive attacks against U.S military assets all over as we speak.
us never win with any one in history
War crime? Who cares about war crimes? It's just a phrase.
what about the Epstein files?
Iran hit and attacked civilian sites from 1st march on their Neighbours. Airports, water desalination plants, hotels, oil plants and apartment/office blocks.
The host has 0% empathy
Nonsense. You can google usa bases, drop a pin and get coordinates. Or walk passed with a hand held gps every second fisher or hiker has.
Looks like billions of dollar slamming into a desert mountain, and the GCC getting hit tit for tat. They more they shoot, the higher oil prices go. Iran's got this and they know it.
Down with OPEC, lets ditch OPEC and we in Canada will sell you gas.
It's a illegal war … Like Ukraine…. Anything goes. Hiroshima Nagasaki are still standing after the US nuked Japan…..the US the only country to use nukes lmao
The US trying to take down the ICC International law away, so that colonist imperialism's way will be paved. Three world powers with expansion aspirations.
