Foreign Affairs › About 1/3 Of Tel Aviv Has Been Damaged Or Destroyed - Colonel Mcgregor by Uptownerd(op): 4:33am On Jun 21, 2025 |
According to former US army veteran and retired Colonel, Douglas McGregor, half of Tel Aviv is in ruins. Don't be fooled, Israel is in worse shape then people think.
About 1/3 of Tel Aviv has been damaged or destroyed.
As far as their military installations are concerned, I'm told many Israeli aircraft's are being flown to Cyprus to avoid being struck.
Israel was not prepared for Iran's response. https://x.com/DougAMacgregor/status/1935857394958913976?t=-VCMr3Ss9fmHSMwhA1nWSA&s=19

Foreign Affairs › Never Forget Abeer Qasim, 14yrs Old Iraqi Girl Gang-raped And Murdered By 5 U.S. by Uptownerd(op): 10:28am On Jun 20, 2025 |
In 2006, the 14-year-old Iraqi girl was gang-raped by U.S. soldiers in Mahmudiyah before they shot her in the head & set her body on fire. The U.S. soldiers involved in the 2006 Abeer Qasim al-Janabi case were punished under U.S. law. Steven Dale Green received life without parole but died by suicide in 2014. James P. Barker, Paul E. Cortez, and Jesse V. Spielman got 90, 100, and 110 years, respectively, with parole eligibility after 10 years. Bryan L. Howard served 27 months for lesser charges. Anthony W. Yribe was discharged without prison time.
Iraqi reactions, especially from the Janabi tribe, were mixed, with many deeming the sentences too lenient and demanding the death penalty.
This is one of the many horror stories from the U.S invasion of Iraq which was built on lies.
Remember, this is also the only country in the world to drop not one, but two nuclear bombs on an already conquered enemy.

Foreign Affairs › Colonel Mccormack Removed From USA Chiefs Of Staff For Calling Israel Death Cult by Uptownerd(op): 9:39am On Jun 20, 2025 |
Colonel Nathan McCormack removed from US Joint Chiefs of Staff for calling Israel a death cult The U.S. military has officially removed Colonel Nathan McCormack from his position at the Joint Chiefs of Staff for posts calling Israel a death cult and saying America is acting as Israel’s proxy. Colonel Nathan McCormack was removed from his position as the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate after making controversial social media posts. These posts, made on a semi-anonymous X account under the name "Nate," included calling Israel a “death cult,” referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies as “Judeo-supremacist cronies,” and questioning whether the U.S. was acting as Israel’s proxy. He also accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and disproportionate responses against Palestinian civilians, with some posts dating back to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
The Pentagon, aware of the situation, stated that McCormack’s views do not reflect those of the Joint Staff or the Department of Defense. He has been returned to his service branch, the U.S. Army, while an investigation is underway. The J5 directorate, where he served since June 2024, advises on military strategy and policy, including U.S.-Israel relations. His account has since been deleted, and the matter has sparked debate about free expression and military conduct.

Foreign Affairs › Iran Will Be Graveyard Of US Empire, And End Of Donald Trump Presidency by Uptownerd(op): 4:32pm On Jun 19, 2025 |
Iran Could Spell Doom for U.S. Empire and Trump’s Presidency
The world watches as tensions rise between Israel and Iran. If the United States gets involved in a war between these two nations, it could lead to disaster. Some say Iran could become the graveyard of the U.S. empire and even end Donald Trump’s presidency. This article explores why this could happen, using simple words to explain a complex issue. First, let’s look at the history. The U.S. has a long record of conflicts in the Middle East. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan drained America’s money, lives, and reputation. These wars cost trillions of dollars and killed thousands of soldiers. They also made many enemies for the U.S. Iran is different, though. It’s a bigger, stronger country with a proud history. It won’t be easy to defeat.
Iran has a powerful military. It has missiles that can hit faraway targets. It also has allies like Hezbollah, a strong group in Lebanon, and militias in Iraq and Syria. These groups could attack U.S. bases or Israel if a war starts. Iran’s land is rugged, with mountains and deserts. This makes it hard for foreign armies to invade. The U.S. learned this lesson in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Fighting in tough terrain against a determined enemy is a recipe for failure.
If the U.S. joins an Israel-Iran war, it could face big problems at home. Americans are tired of endless wars. Many voted for Trump because he promised to avoid new conflicts. Getting involved in Iran would break that promise. People might turn against him. Polls show most Americans don’t want another Middle East war. If soldiers die and costs pile up, Trump’s support could collapse. His presidency might not survive the backlash.
The economy is another worry. War with Iran could send oil prices soaring. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil tankers. If they block it, gas prices could double or triple. This would hurt American families and businesses. Inflation could spike, and the stock market might crash. Trump’s claim of a strong economy would fall apart. Voters might blame him for the mess.
There’s also the risk of a bigger war. Iran has friends like Russia and China. They might not fight directly, but they could send weapons or money to Iran. This would make the war longer and bloodier. If things get out of control, it could even lead to a world war. Nobody wants that, but wars have a way of growing beyond anyone’s plans.
Some say Iran’s government is weak and could fall in a war. That’s possible, but it’s a gamble. Iran’s people are fiercely patriotic. Even those who dislike their leaders might unite against a foreign attack. Look at history: when the U.S. toppled Saddam Hussein in Iraq, it didn’t bring peace. It created chaos, with groups like ISIS rising up. The same could happen in Iran, leaving a mess that the U.S. would have to clean up.
Trump’s foreign policy has been about avoiding big wars. He pulled troops out of Syria and didn’t start new conflicts. But he’s also close to Israel, and Netanyahu has been doing all within his power USA to get involved and start bombarding Iran. Trump might feel pressured to act. But, this could be his biggest mistake. The U.S. military is strong, but it’s not invincible. A war with Iran could stretch it to the breaking point.
Finally, there’s the human cost. Thousands of soldiers and civilians could die. Families would be torn apart. The U.S. would lose more of its global respect. For Trump, the political cost could be fatal. If the war goes badly, his enemies in Congress and the media would pounce. Even his supporters might abandon him.
A U.S. war with Iran is a disaster waiting to happen. It will definitely weaken America’s power, wreck its economy, and end Trump’s presidency. Iran’s tough terrain, strong military, good allies and loyal people make it a dangerous enemy. The U.S. should think carefully before jumping into this fight. History shows that empires fall when they take on wars they can’t win. Iran could be that war for America.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Approves Plan For Attack On Iran & Could Launch Strike In Coming Days by Uptownerd: 3:11pm On Jun 19, 2025 |
Emeskhalifa: Just some few questions.
1. Why does the world need Nuclear weapons in the first place?
2. Why are some countries allowed Nuclear weapons while some cannot and will never be allowed to have?
3. If peace is what we are all about, why can't those with existing nuclear weapons destroy theirs?
4. If they won't destroy all the nuclear weapons in their possession, does that not mean they have a motive for keeping them? Wise questions. What is good for the geese is also good for the gander. Hypocritical Westerners pretending they care about peace in the Middle East but always profit off of war (weapon sales, fake media coverage, asset seizures, energy stealing, etc...) |

sreamsense: Who asked you for statistics? Did you just know that today? Christians don't even expect to have 1% christian in Isreal because the Bible has explained every reason for us and what christian benefits through that. Despite that Christian never hate them, you can see Christian most powerful country on Earth (America) still supports and protects Isreali, that is why God keeps blessing America as bible explained. Without Christians being many in Isreal, Christians still remains the most populous, richest, most educated religion and most powerful (US) on earth You need to be informed bro.

Yes, there are significantly more Muslims in Israel than Christians.
According to data from 2022 (and consistently reflected in various reports), the religious demographics of Israel are roughly:
Jewish: around 73-74% Muslim: around 18% Christian: around 1.9% Druze: around 1.6% So, while Christians are a recognized minority in Israel, Muslims constitute a much larger percentage of the population.

Foreign Affairs › Iran Claims It Has "Complete Control" Over Israeli Airspace by Uptownerd(op): 3:32am On Jun 18, 2025 |
The Iranian Regime government has claimed it now has complete control over Israeli airspace. This assertion may be proving to be accurate judging from the number of missiles launched by Iran into fortified cities like Tel Aviv, destroying several key defense components. This is even as Iran battles US and NATO defense systems deployed by the Pentagon and Jordan to intercept Iranian missiles. Iran takes control of Israel airspace: IRGC
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement after launching a fresh wave of attacks on Israel early on Wednesday in response to the Tel Aviv regime's aggression on Iran's soil.
In the statement, the IRGC revealed that it had attacked occupied territories with first-generation Fattah missiles.
The statement added that Fattah missiles managed to pass through the Israeli missile defense shield tonight and repeatedly shook the Zionist cowards' shelters.
"Tonight's missile attack showed that we have gained complete control over the skies of the occupied territories," the IRGC said, adding that the residents of Israel are now completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks. https://www.google.com/amp/s/en.mehrnews.com/amp/233276/

Israel now owns tehran with mossad callingn the shot.
Israel should endure all the missile hits...they should finish the war and take out IRCG and Khameni fully.
Israel actually thought the number of missiles will be more than that, but iran is only sending little. Iran had 2,000 cruise missile, now they can only send few. What is Israel going to use to attack Iran again? 2 F-35 has been shot down, several F-35 destroyed or rendered incapable right at the hangar, Israeli military defense headquarters has been decimated, several nuclear research centres wiped off, thousands of Israeli casualties, Iron Dome now laughing stock, Netanyahu on the run... The list is endless. |
Foreign Affairs › Operation True Promise 3 A Success, Tel Aviv In Ruins-israeli's Hiding In Bunker by Uptownerd(op): 5:59am On Jun 15, 2025 |
On June 14, 2025, Iran launched a major military operation called "Operation True Promise 3" against Israel, targeting cities like Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem. The attack was in response to Israel’s earlier strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, which killed 78 people, including top generals and scientists. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said the operation aimed to hit Israeli military and industrial targets, using over 100 ballistic missiles and drones in multiple waves. Explosions lit up the skies over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as air raid sirens sent residents to shelters. Israel’s advanced air defense systems, including the Iron Dome, intercepted many missiles, but some broke through. In Tel Aviv, missiles struck residential areas, damaging buildings in Ramat Gan and Bat Yam. Emergency services reported at least eight deaths across Israel, including a 69-year-old woman, an 80-year-old woman, a 13-year-old girl, and a 10-year-old boy. Over 170 people were injured, with 34 in the Tel Aviv area alone. Videos showed smoke rising from damaged apartment blocks and streets filled with debris.
Iranian state media called the attack a “crushing response” to Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, which targeted Iran’s Defense Ministry and nuclear facilities. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei vowed a strong retaliation, saying Israel’s actions would not go unpunished. The IRGC claimed high-precision missiles, like the Khayber Shekan and Fateh-1, hit key targets, including the Kirya military complex in Tel Aviv. Iranian sources also reported coordinated drone and missile strikes from Yemen’s Houthi forces.
Israel’s response was swift. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz were reported to have taken shelter in a bunker during the attacks. Netanyahu warned that Israel’s campaign against Iran was “just the beginning,” promising to intensify strikes. Israel’s military said it targeted Iran’s nuclear program to stop it from developing atomic weapons. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed damage to airbases and military sites but said most Iranian missiles were intercepted.
The conflict has raised fears of a wider war in the Middle East. The United States, while not involved in Israel’s strikes, helped intercept Iranian missiles, according to U.S. officials. The International Atomic Energy Agency urged restraint, warning that nuclear facilities should never be targeted. Both sides reported significant losses, with Iran claiming heavy damage to Tel Aviv and Israel reporting civilian casualties and destruction. Social media posts on X described Tel Aviv as heavily damaged, with some users claiming Israel was hiding casualty numbers. Others reported fires and destroyed buildings, though these claims lack official confirmation. The situation remains tense, with both nations threatening further escalation. The international community is watching closely, concerned about the conflict’s impact on global stability and energy markets. This ongoing exchange of attacks marks the most direct and sustained conflict between Israel and Iran, with no clear end in sight.
