Poor leaders of Egypt... they have to stifle their smiles and tears of joy long enough to make solemn statements denouncing the Israeli attack on Iran...
As well as the Saudis. Hell, that goes twice for the Saudis.
Well, here it is...
#Statement | The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Israeli aggressions against the brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran, which undermine its sovereignty and security and constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms.[/quote]

The balls on Putin

Without a hint of irony, Putin offers condolences for 'civilian casualties' in Iran, condemns Israel's 'violations' of UN Charter.
You want irony. Someone who condemns Russia's violations of the UN Charter but condones Israel's.
More like hypocrisy.

ISW Update June 13 2025

Key Takeaways:
Russian officials largely condemned the June 13 Israeli strikes against Iran, as Russian President Vladimir Putin continued to offer to facilitate negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
Oil price increases following Israeli strikes against Iran may increase Russian revenue from oil sales and improve Russia's ability to sustain its war effort in Ukraine.
The Kremlin is continuing efforts to prepare the Russian defense industrial base (DIB) for a protracted war with Ukraine and a potential future war with NATO.
Russia released the bodies of killed in action (KIA) Ukrainian servicemembers to Ukraine on June 13.
Ukrainian forces advanced near Toretsk. Russian forces advanced in northern Sumy Oblast and near Chasiv Yar, Pokrovsk, and Velyka Novosilka.

What is it when someone is saying someone is condoning something when they are just passing along information without comments.

US opposes lowering G7 cap on Russian oil, Bloomberg reports
by Lucy Pakhnyuk June 14, 2025 7:02 AM
The United States is opposing a proposal by other Group of Seven nations to lower the price cap on Russian oil, Bloomberg reported on June 13.
Citing unnamed sources, Bloomberg said the U.S. remains opposed to reducing the cap from $60 to $45 per barrel – a position it first took earlier this year when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declined to support a similar effort.
The price cap, introduced in December 2022 as a measure to limit the Kremlin's ability to finance its war against Ukraine, prohibits Western companies from shipping, insuring, or otherwise servicing Russian oil sold above $60 per barrel.
Despite U.S. resistance, the European Union and United Kingdom – backed by other European G7 countries and Canada – have said they are prepared to move forward with the proposal, even without Washington's endorsement.
One source told Bloomberg that the EU and U.K. could explore lowering the cap without the U.S., as most of Russia's oil is transported in European waters. However, a unified G7 agreement would carry greater impact if it could be enforced by the U.S.
The price cap debate has become more urgent as oil prices, which had fallen below the $60 cap in recent months, surged following Israel's strikes against Iran in the past 24 hours.
G7 leaders will revisit the price cap discussion during the upcoming summit, hosted by Canada from June 15-17 in Kananaskis County, Alberta.

Putin calls Iran and Israel and asks for de-escalation and for the bombs to stop.
He offers to mediate.
Nobel Peace Prize?

Putin will end that war in 24 hours.

This is a bad idea imo. I think aggressive price caps on Russia could hurt everyone who provides oil.
