They keep telling us that we have entered a time of peace, but more conflict just continues to erupt all over the globe. Israel has just resumed ground operations against Hamas, President Trump is threatening to keep bombing the Houthis until they are “completely annihilated”, we are being told that “something’s going to happen” with Iran very soon, and the very limited agreement between the Russians and the Ukrainians to avoid striking energy infrastructure did not even last 24 hours. Compared to last week, do we have more war or less war? Clearly, we have more war. So you will have to excuse me if I am skeptical of those that are crying out that a time of “peace and safety” is now upon us.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was supposed to lead to a permanent resolution of the conflict.
But instead, the ceasefire is now dead and the war is back on…
The Israeli military said on Wednesday its forces have resumed ground operations in the central and southern Gaza Strip, as a second day of airstrikes killed at least 20 Palestinians, according to local health workers.
The renewed ground operations come a day after more than 400 Palestinians were killed in airstrikes in one of the deadliest episodes since the beginning of the conflict, shattering a ceasefire that has largely held since January.
The Israeli military said its operations have extended Israel’s control over the Netzarim Corridor, which bisects Gaza, and were a “focused” manoeuvre aimed at creating a partial buffer zone between the north and the south of the enclave.
Israel wants the remainder of the hostages to be released.
After all this time, Hamas is still refusing to do that.
One Israeli official is warning that if Hamas continues to hold on to the hostages, military operations will escalate “to the point of total war”…
“We’re in a new phase of the conflict,” the official said. “From here we either move forward with developments towards the release of additional hostages – which is a major goal – or there’ll be consistent escalations to the point of total war,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is now at war with the Houthis in Yemen.
During the last administration, Joe Biden would lightly strike the Houthis once in a while, but now President Trump is pledging that “the Houthi barbarians” will be “completely annihilated”…
Reports are coming in that while Iran has lessened its intensity on Military Equipment and General Support to the Houthis, they are still sending large levels of Supplies. Iran must stop the sending of these Supplies IMMEDIATELY. Let the Houthis fight it out themselves. Either way they lose, but this way they lose quickly. Tremendous damage has been inflicted upon the Houthi barbarians, and watch how it will get progressively worse — It’s not even a fair fight, and never will be. They will be completely annihilated!
A few days earlier, U.S. Secretary of State told CBS News that we are “doing the entire world a favor by getting rid of these guys”…
“We’re doing the entire world a favor by getting rid of these guys and their ability to strike global shipping. That’s the mission here, and it will continue until that’s carried out,” he said. “That never happened before. The Biden administration didn’t do that. All the Biden administration would do is they would respond to an attack. These guys would launch one rocket. We’d hit the rocket launcher. That’s it.”
What kind of a military campaign will be required to completely eliminate the Houthis?
I would encourage everyone out there to seriously consider the answer to that question.
The last time I checked, the U.S. Constitution requires congressional approval before we declare war on someone.
