US strikes water desalination plant in Iran (www.turkiyetoday.com)

Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel's water comes from desalination plants, and now we've given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

Attacking desalination plants is not a front the US wants to open. Another horribly idiotic strategic decision by the burger reich. Iran is 3% dependent on desalination, meanwhile US vassals in the region are at 40-90%.

As an Iranian, I hope that Iran can show restraint here. Please do not target desalination plants, and be mindful when attacking power plants in the Gulf region. These countries are extremely weak and fragile, power outages and water shortages could cause massive widespread suffering that I wish upon no-one.

With that said, pipelines in KSA and Azerbaijan should probably get a visit from a 136 as soon as possible.

Looks like the vassal states are abandoning their US masters.
Just as the US is running from every base there.

Still illegal, still monstrous.
