The IDF confirmed the kites were launched by 12-13 year-olds and posed zero threat to civilians, yet Katz ordered the military to respond "immediately and with full severity" and Netanyahu warned of strikes.
"A balloon is treated like a kite and a kite is treated like a drone, with or without explosives."
Netanyahu NEEDS a war, Turkey didn't fall into his trap, and now he's manufacturing threats out of children's toys to keep his coalition alive before the election...
On China and secondary sanctions: Beijing has already formally activated its blocking statute on Iran for the first time ever, a directive ordering Chinese refiners not to recognize, enforce, or comply with U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil.
If Canada will not even abide by secondary sanctions, the notion that China will is pure fantasy...
On the broader picture: the president began this war on a series of bad assumptions, and every time he thinks he's found a solution, it turns out to be another wrong one.
For 80 years, every American president and Congress has weakened the institutions designed to restrain presidential power, and now here we are, with no guardrails left.
PEAK absurdity, and we aren't done yet...
