It's primary purpose is most certainly not to destroy Israel False Hezbollah articulated its ideology in a 1985 manifesto published during the Lebanese Civil War, which outlined the group's key goals: the expulsion of Western influences, the destruction of Israel, allegiance to Iran's supreme leader, and the establishment of an Iran-influenced Islamist government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah Keep defending the indefensible

Historical deflection and defense of the Axis of Evil

Why? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/times-of-israel/

The group is designated as a terrorist organisation by Western states, Israel and Gulf Arab states. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67307858

No that's you deflecting from Hezbollah

Designated as a terrorist organization by a large portion of the international community. That's how it works

What is clear is that you'd rather criticize the CIA rather than the Iran financed terrorist groups that want America and the west destroyed

Sounds like you'd prefer the terrorist's to rein

The status of a terrorist group or state sponsor of terrorism is defined by either the UN list or individual states. Not by individual opinions of posters on a forum trying to convince others who is a freedom fighter or not.

Yes, Novichok was reckless but it didn't cause mass deaths, botched as it was. Yes it was but so was using plutonium and the rest of your post is pure off topic deflection and speculation

Rubbish, read the topic, the method used by Russia is reckless in the extreme

Whataboutism

yes they are terrorists what more do you want to know? You are of course anti terrorist right?

Ask Hezbollah the terrorist state within a state

I've yet to hear about those other countries using WMD's Plutonium or Novichok

Just released by Kamala Harris: Make no mistake, as president, I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend American forces and interests from Iran and Iran-backed terrorists, and I will never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. Diplomacy is my preferred path to that end, but all options are on the table. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/10/11/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-during-a-call-with-jewish-voters-marking-high-holidays/

Partners in arms meeting as we speak.............. Putin arrives for surprise Iran summit in illegal black limo The Russian leader arrived in Ashgabat to meet with Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian president, for urgent discussions on the growing conflict in the Middle East. https://archive.ph/80cC6 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/11/vladimir-putin-arrives-iran-summit/

nah.......... A Timeline of Taylor Swift’s Generosity The musician has a long history of donating her earnings. https://www.billboard.com/lists/taylor-swifts-charity-donations-gifts-timeline/october-2011-she-donates-70000-in-books-to-her-hometown-library/

The outcome could be similar however. He who shoots himself in the foot constantly also known as Putin was to be stupid enough to unleash a tactical nuke then the kiddie cloves would be removed and the whole might of NATO who he was so good at expanding, with the latest additions of Finland and Sweden would come bearing down on him. A massive series of strikes with conventional weapons. Massive enough but measured. Biden has already hinted at this. Outcome. A wounded Putin. What would happen next? He would either admit defeat, although that's unlikely and perhaps we know his mindset from his own Parable of the ‘Cornered Rat’ on what he would do. If he was not deposed which we know he is very scared of, he would become extremely dangerous and then the possibility of real nukes would be real. Again everyone a loser. He indeed once said that a "world without Russia is not a world worth having". Extreme language of nuclear Holocaust. So unless Putin wants to commit suicide and the world to end as we know it. Its just another of those cry wolf red lines.

Yet here we are with random posters blaming Israel and defending Iran the axis of evil who is against the whole west. Now why would that be..........

Far from not get it, the reason there is no nuclear war is because Putin knows he would also be wiped out.....duh Biden confronted Putin with the intelligence twice in December 2021, first in a video conference and then in what Woodward describes as a “hot 50-minute call” that became so heated that at one point that Putin “raised the risk of nuclear war in a threatening way.” Biden responded by reminding Putin that “it’s impossible to win” a nuclear war. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/08/politics/bob-woodward-book-war-joe-biden-putin-netanyahu-trump/index.html

This was back in May of this year and its relevant right now. Iran willing to 'expend every Arab life' in efforts to destroy Israel, former US security adviser says Iran is willing to "expend every Arab life" in its efforts to end Western influence in the Middle East and destroy Israel, a former US national security adviser has said. HR McMaster, who held the position between 2017 and 2018 during the Trump presidency, told Sky News that there is still a risk of escalation between Iran and Israel after the two nations carried out attacks on each other in April. https://news.sky.com/story/iran-willing-to-expend-every-arab-life-in-efforts-to-destroy-israel-former-us-security-adviser-says-13127330

You've just have not got it, Russia would also be wiped out if there was a nuclear war. Just because you have nuclear weapons does not mean you can go around threatening to use them as soon as things get difficult for you. If that was the case the world would be bowing down to every whim from rocket man in NK or any other state with nukes. They don't and there is a reason, its madness and suicide. Sorry but your red lines do not work.

They've been threatening it for nearly 2 years and have been backed down each time knowing they would also be blasted off the face of the earth: "A critical exchange between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu in October 2022 highlights the intensity of the situation. According to Woodward, Austin warned Shoigu, “If you did this, all the restraints that we have been operating under in Ukraine would be reconsidered.” Shoigu, not taking kindly to the warning, replied, “I don’t take kindly to being threatened.” Austin’s firm response was a reminder of the US’s unmatched military power: “I am the leader of the most powerful military in the history of the world. I don’t make threats.”

No. I know what facts are.
