    Hundreds of former Mossad Unit 8200 spies working at Google, Facebook, Microsoft and beyond, gathering compramat on Americans. Our "ally" loves blackmail

    You are conflating issues.

    Nowhere have I supported any adult sleeping with any child. You are the only who has done that.

    If you want to try to take away nuance by presenting a binary choice, I am not interested in your game.

    So those companies should not be hiring anyone from the US, FVEY, or NATO IC as well?

    How about we go with the British term “nonce” instead of the more squishy American term “pedo” then? Ritter is a nonce. No one should take him seriously.

    Do people feel they can change the opinions of whoever it is they're replying to?

    The war in Afghanistan was going to be short. The Iraq war was supposed to be over quickly at a cost of $60 billion. By 2006 economist Joseph. Stiglitz estimated that the ultimate cost of the 2 wars could reach $6 Trillion. Weren't the Syrian and Libyan wars supposed to be over quickly? Thinking we can go in and hit Iran with a "surgical strike" and not suffer dire consequences is really dumb.

    No.

    Anyone trying to compare this situation with Iran and with what happened in Afghanistan has 0 credibility.

    I never supported an adult sleeping with a child. You're making stuff up. (I'm being nice)

    Israel supported Jeffrey Epstein because he had important men sleeping with underage women. Care to comment on that?

    Maybe, and I am about as from being an expert on the subject as there is, but I doubt that they could have smuggled, missiles, the launch system, set it up and prepped such a missile(s) before US and Israeli satellites detected it and it was attacked on the ground.

    Maybe others can comment who know more than I do, but if it were Chinese, I would be more likely to bet it was electronic warfare hardware. Easily transported, does not take a lot technical expertise to set up and can be hidden from snooping satellites, yet powerful enough to confound Israeli aircraft weapons systems and this would be a great opportunity for them to test out there latest and greatest against the US and Israel??

    I wouldn't hire hundreds of former Israeli spies who I knew were going to use their positions to spy on Americans. I'll leave it at that for now.

    You quote one blood libel after another as if they are true. Posting links to blood libels doesn’t exonerate the essence of what you are.

    But you are OK with former French, British, US, Canadian, etc spies? Just not the Jewish ones, eh?

    My point is once you start a war the unforseen consequences can be long, painful and expensive

    With Iran a risk assessment should be done and we should not underestimate how bad things could get

    Helping or hurting?

    A guy with a page talking about “the Jews” on his website, and referring to “the Zionist Wall Street Journal,” seems like a decent indicator of antisemitism in and of itself.

    What law does this “legal definition” come from? Because it’s a diagnostic term, not a legal one.

    The legal terms are generally things like “child sexual battery” or “child sexual predator” or similar terms, and the same one generally applies to both age groups with the distinction (in at least some jurisdictions) being that the punishment level may differ depending on the age of the child victim (for example in Florida the crime is child sexual battery for both and they’re both in the same statute, but sexual battery by a person older than 18 on a child younger than 12 is a capital felony, while sexual battery by a person older than 18 on a child older than 12 but younger than 18 is a first degree felony).

    I read an article yesterday that indicated Israel possesses the 1 ton and 2.5 ton bunker busters but not the massive 15 ton (sizes might be off). It indicated Israel could possibly achieve the desired destruction of the large, deep bunkers by dropping multiple 2.5 ton bombs in quick sequence onto these sites.

    The other countries are not hostile to US interest for the most part. They do not as aggressively spy on us, they did not support Jeffrey Epstein and they did not give highly classified US Intel to the Russians. Sounds like you're giving Israel a pass because they are Jewish.

    Did the Mossad not support Epstein's pedophilia (by your definition)? You don't see that as a red flag?
