Yes I watch Judge Nap daily now. I agree, Russia ain't going to just watch Iran be blown off the map.

Strangelove is a good reference. It's very clear Israel has no intention of stopping their murderous rampage. The question now, is will they still hit Iran now, or will they just keep the carnage local? It's hard for me to to think they can be that bloody stupid, to attack Iran now. But then, I've never been a very good at judging accurately the depths of human stupidity.

Here's my professional opinion: plan for the worst and you can never be disappointed, only pleasantly surprised.

I figure I'm going to die eventually. It's just not really the way I'd have wanted to go for myself, and others. But then admittedly, death is terrifying no matter how it happens.

No, death is not terrifying, just final. Living, however, becomes more terrifying by the day ...

It's losing everything that is terrifying, assuming you love life itself. There are those who do not love life so death is nothing to them.

So, as I said, it's not death that's terrifying - it's losing something(s) - which when you think about it, makes no sense for you won't be around to be aware that you've lost anything. :-). It's o.k. I'm not a troll. Not looking for an argument. I'll shut up now.

If I lived in Gaza I think I would welcome death. I find myself thinking the dead there are the lucky ones since there’s nothing Israel finds too horrible to do to the Palestinians and because, despite millions of us who’re besides ourselves about it, this is going to go on as long as Israel exists. It’s the very definition of a hopeless situation and beyond tragic.

100% agree with you.

A lot of us 75+

Our grandchildren are inheriting NOTHING but war.

I have spoken to my husband and children about 'assisted suicide.' It's not difficult here in Europe.

I just do not want my grandkids to fight in never ending wars. But what can I do?

Death becomes less scary and more acceptable as one ages, especially when most all your friends and loved ones have crossed over. It's like having a foot in both worlds.

As far as humanity goes, I'd say the human race has done enough damage, and the earth will be better off when we're gone. We've driven countless species extinct, so the logical progression is that we ourselves should be next on our hit list.

Only humans are perverted enough to do the horrible things we do, and to do them on such a grand scale.

I've heard that from some - that as one gets older (with the privilege of becoming older) death becomes more welcome as an exit. And maybe there is more than one world. One can hope.

We need to put John Bolton on the tip of Israel's nuke should they decide to go all out on stupidity.

Leave room for Biden. I’m really bitter that he’s going to live the rest of his life in comfort while the Palestinians pay for his cruelty with their lives and limbs.

I second that.

Keep in mind that Russia is desperately trying to avoid war and escalation, while the West is itching for more.
