Well, it's a tangled web.  Iran is also a prime benefactor of Assad, a great favorite of yours, (and Luee's) who likes to drop barrel bombs on women and children.  But somehow Assad, remember supported by Iran, is a great protector of Christians.

Speaking of Hezbollah:

DT today:

Aussie killed in Israeli airstrike 'was Hezbollah fighter'.

Hezbollah says one of two Australian brothers killed in an Israeli air strike in South Lebanon was one of its fighters.


#####

DT says DFAT(Dept of Foreign Affairs And Trade) in investigating.

DT names him, says he left Sydney a few years ago to get married, and the family in Australia were looking forward to welcoming his wife (with him) to Sydney soon. His wife was also killed in the air strike, reportedly.

Also today DT reports that Erdogan, President of Turkey has said that Netanyahu is the same as Hitler.

Netanyahu lashed out at Erdogan's remarks.

"Erdogan, who is committing genocide against the Kurds and who holds the world record for imprisoning journalists who oppose his regime, is the last person who can preach morality to us, Netanyahu said in a statement.



377 comments by readers....on these articles...is a 'war' too.

One comment praises Trump admin for putting Iran out of business with its Abraham Accord...and criticizes Biden Admin for not doing the same...putting Iran out of business.

Greece has to stay strong because of threats that Turkey has posed, and there are issues on the island of Cyprus, pity, Cyprus seems like such a beautiful place, they need to have peace on Cyprus.

The Abraham Accord was wise, and it went beyond all of the problems back to when Abraham was the father of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, before we split up. And the Saudis love Ivanka Trump. The Trumps were able to accomplish a lot in Saudi Arabia. We should send Ivanka to the Middle East right now, Biden needs to enlist the help of Ivanka in the Middle East. The same way that Dennis Rodman can help with the Rocket Man.

And Turkey is poor like Mexico, they wanted to join the European Union and they wanted to expand trade and tourism.

I made a student film with a filmmaker who wanted to open a movie and television studio in Ankara, Turkey, to make films and television shows for the Arabs, he was cool, his favorite filmmaker was Spielberg. We need for the good people in Turkey to rise up and to make the peace.

Meanwhile, I think the USA sells weapons to both Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well as to Greece, I think they are all getting Fighter Planes from the USA, etc. I think they are all flying American F-16 Fighter Planes.

I hope we can have peace in the New Year, Putin needs to go to prison in Guantanamo Bay, and Israel must stop Hamas.

On the issue of Iran, we have 1 million Persians here in Los Angeles, they are all coming here from Iran, they are also going to France, France has lots of Persians. We need to make peace with the good Persians. And Mahlagha Jaberi can help with the Persians.

Salute,

Tony V.

Los Angeles is building a great relationship with Japan, and Los Angeles just spent over $1 Billion to acquire the top 2 Japanese Baseball Players to come play for the Dodgers, and they are saying that all of the Dodger games are going to be broadcast for the Japanese. Japan also owns the Sony Studio, etc.

I do not like the Japanese Business Model where they work hard then commit suicide when they get old, and I do not like how they work themselves to death. The Japanese need to learn from the Italians, and from the Mexicans, the Japanese need to slow down and enjoy life, and they need to drink the good red wine, and they need to cherish their old and wise people, and they need to help their poor. The Japanese also need to explore their Mental Health Issues and we need to reduce suicide among the Japanese.

The people from the Philippines are Asian, but they are also Roman Catholic, the Filipinos are cool like the Mexicans and like the Italians.

We need to teach the Japanese how to slow down, and how to surf, etc, and how to enjoy life, instead of just everything being about work and money. The California lifestyle can teach a lot to the Japanese.

There is a lot that we can teach to the Japanese.

Salute,

Tony V.

Israel has tossed into prison a young man who objects to fighting in the war.

I am Color Blind, so I could never serve in the Military, nor can I ever be a Cop, as I cannot see the color of cars and of clothing. It was hard as a Valet, I kept bringing the wrong car because I could not see the color of the car.

But, I can see at night, I am Nocturnal, and I work best on the Night Shift, etc, and the Military can have Special Forces of Color Blind people to operate at night under the cover of darkness, the Special Team can go in at night and save hostages, etc. There can be a new television show named "Nocturnal" and I sent the idea to UCI for them to run tests to see if my hypothesis is correct.

And as a father and husband I will be able to protect and defend my family. A neighbor in Malibu said that I made the whole neighborhood safer just by living there, the whole neighborhood was full of single women and they liked having a man in the neighborhood. But, we lived in a gated community, with cameras, and with motion detectors connected to lights, etc. And we had Dogs. Etc.  Malibu is a great place to raise a family. Anaheim is nice, but not as nice as Malibu. We will see what the new year brings.

My friend Tom was a Combat Medic, he wanted to save people. He spent his whole life helping other people.

But, the world needs warrior angels, Israel needs warriors the same as a Native American Indian Tribe of the olden days. We need for Rome, Spain, the Pope, and the European Union to all become more powerful in the region, and Greece, etc. And we need for Greece to invest in the Philippines, the Filipinos would love to work for the Greeks.

And Italy is full of Filipinos working in the Vineyards and Orange Groves, etc, and Lemon Groves, etc, and Olive Orchards, etc.

I pray for peace in the new year. And we need to send Israel lots of equipment for Missile Defense, etc. And we can send Israel some more Apache Helicopters, etc. And we can send them some modified F-104 Starfighters with some Sidewinder Missiles.

Salute,

Tony V.

The waves are great at the beach right now, they are the best waves in 15 years, and so the news team was out there talking with the surfers, and there was a surfer wearing a Holden Caulfield hat, and it was 70 degrees and nice here in Southern California, it was not like a cold New York winter where you need a Holden Caulfield hat, he was secretly making a statement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Caulfield

And for some reason "Catcher in the Rye" was never made into a film, though it remains a popular novel. The lady at the bookstore said it is still popular.

I gave up fighting 'the cruel sea' a long time ago.
Also 'cruel rivers', 'cruel lakes'.

Rogue waves.
Huge seas.
Floundering cruise ships.
Rip tides.
Flesh eating bacteria.
Killer creatures lurking in the waters.

All too uncomfortable for me.

Apparently, these days if you're comfortable, you're supposed to challenge yourself, break out of your comfort zone and be much happier in life when you've 'achieved more'.
But what if comfortable was your goal in life?.....eh?...what then?
Yes, comfortable should never be overrated.

22 people have drowned in bambuworld in Dec.
The 'cruel sea', 'cruel floodwaters', 'cruel inland waterways' claim more lives.
Of particular concern is 'people aged over 45', according to authorities.
