Fk the UN.....needs getting rid of ASAP

Folks in the US have been saying that for years. It just another wealth transfer from the 1st world to swiss banks of third world leaders.

UN employees were involved in the Hamas raid on Israel. Hezbollah facilities have been found under or next to UN locations in Lebanon. UN funded NGO's are involved in moving illegals into America. No telling what else they are doing.

It is interesting how far the main stream media has fallen in the court of public opinion. It is also amazing how fast social media has replaced them. 16 hours after the Rogan/Trump podcast there has been 15 million views on You tube alone. This doesn't include the other outlets that show Rogan's podcast.

Looks like Israel has started it’s retaliation strikes against Iran.

The problem I have with this is that it will not be a deterrent as they are just striking against military targets like they did after the Iranian attacks in April.

Biden is on record about telling Israel, rather forcefully, to avoid oil infrastructure and nuclear facilities. I can understand not striking nuclear facilities as they are underground and might result in heavy damage to civilians. However, his main reasoning for not striking oil facilities is oil prices going up before the election.

At this point it is just a Kabuki theatre, and I doubt it will deter any further action from Iran.

Harris campaign has stated that they will not go on Rogan show due to "scheduling" conflicts. Heck, Harris can't pull it together in a 15-minute interview in a friendly venue. Doubt she could handle one that would last an hour or two, especially live.

On a related note, interesting comment from Zeihan on that topic (albeit more a bit dated):
