The U.S. has now stopped aid to the Zelensky/NATO regime in Ukraine, but it likely is diverting to Israel to counter Iran’s missiles; Israel’s anti-missile missile stockpile (the ‘Iron Dome’) was severely depleted in the 12-day war. It seems that the request for a cease-fire was made by Israel to the US — and that Russia’s President Putin pressured Iran to also accept a ceasefire.
However, the lunatic Starmer remains committed to giving Ukraine £5 billion a year and — no coincidence — his party has now passed in Parliament a Welfare cutting bill designed to save that much money within the UK (49 Labour MPs voted against it.)

Wars frequently pick up where the last ones left off. World War II ended where World War 1 ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom (Gulf War II) began where Desert Storm (Gulf War I) concluded.
Today there is every reason to expect the recent 12-day conflict between Iran on one side and Israel and the United States on the other to resume when the Israeli and U.S. Forces have replenished their stocks of missiles. No doubt, the Iranians will work hard to radically improve their integrated air defenses. For simplicity, let’s call the current conflict, the “New Long War.”
As always, the New Long War continues with other means. GEN Erik Kurilla, the CENTCOM CDR is known for his close relationship with PM Bibi Netanyahu and his enthusiasm for the Greater Israel Project including seizure of Sinai and the Suez Canal. Fully aware of the impossibility of rapidly conquering and seizing the Suez Canal without active American military support, General Kurilla may have received authority from President Trump to conduct joint planning.
The presence of a newly established Russia phased array radar in Egypt suggests Moscow is aware of the possibility. The Russian phased array radar can reportedly track stealth aircraft and missile launches at long range.
Further east, some 1,200 miles away in Azerbaijan, Israel’s Azeri-Turkish ally is allegedly preparing to attack Armenia and, potentially, northern Iran. GEN Kurilla also knows that Iran, like Russia, has a long history of cooperation with Orthodox Christian Armenia. Israel provided critical drone technology to Azerbaijan in its last victorious campaign against Armenia, and Azerbaijan likely provided support for Israeli operations against Iran.
US, Israel and Turkey conspire with Azerbaijan against the Christian country of Armenia. What a surprise. #not
Supporting Armenia is of course one of Iran’s sins.
Needless to say self-proclaimed Christians in the West have no probs with settlers destroying all-Christian villages on the West Bank https://www.lewrockwell.com/political-theatre/israeli-settlers-set-christian-town-on-fire-in-the-west-bank/
