Netanyahu warns Iran ‘will be hurt far worse’ amid deadly Israeli strikes in Syria

 

Iran will suffer dire consequences if it threatens Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu warned as he ordered illustrative air raids in Syria, reminding voters in the looming snap elections of his firm stance on the occupied Golan Heights.

 

In a rare public acknowledgement of Israeli cross-border operations, Netanyahu on Sunday boasted of personally ordering airstrikes against Syrian military positions. As a demonstration of Tel Aviv’s readiness to respond with “great force to any aggression,” the IAF pounded Syrian army’s artillery batteries, observation posts and air defense units, killing 3 soldiers and wounding 7 others – in retaliation for two rocket allegedly launched from the Syrian side.

 

While we do not make light of Iran's threats, neither are we deterred by them because anyone who tries to hurt us will be hurt far worse.

 

Mere hours after Netanyahu’s passionate speech, Syrian Arab Air Force Tiyas Airbase was targeted in another air raid. At least one Syrian soldier was killed and two others wounded in the attack which military sources also blamed on Israel.

 

Damascus, which views the raids as a blatant violation of its sovereignty, repeatedly accused Israel of helping and boosting the morale of the remaining terrorists in Syria. Sunday’s raid too corresponded with “successive terrorist attacks in the northern suburbs of Hama and Idlib,” Sana reported.

Laid Off GM Workers in Ohio Fed Up with Ruling Class: ‘Nobody Has Our Backs’

 

Middle-class Americans whose livelihoods have been thrown off course after being laid off by General Motors (GM) in Lordstown, Ohio, are fed up with the country’s political and business ruling class in Washington, DC.

 

For months, the community of Lordstown has had to grapple with GM closing the region’s assembly plant, which has resulted in the immediate layoff of about 1,600 American workers, and since 2017, GM has laid off about 4,500 American workers in Ohio.

 

The GM plant closure is also expected to leave more than 8,000 American workers jobless in and around Lordstown as well as cut out about $8 billion in economic activity in the area. Already, more than 900 workers in supporting industries have been put out of work.

 

At the same time, GM has announced that it will manufacture a slew of new vehicles in South Korea, while GM CEO Mary Barra still plans on idling three other American manufacturing plants — two in Michigan and one in Maryland.

Laid off Americans in Lordstown, in interviews with the New York Times, expressed frustration and disdain for the country’s political and business elite, the ruling class that they say has ignored them for decades as free trade deals have gutted the middle class and allowed multinational corporations to send high-paying manufacturing jobs to China and Mexico in order to boost profits and cut costs.

 

Rick Marsh, who was laid off this year after working at GM’s Lordstown plant for 25 years and whose father had also worked at the plant, told the Times he voted for President Donald Trump after years of voting for Democrats, hoping the economic nationalist president would protect U.S. jobs and industries.

 

Today, Marsh suggested that he and the other middle-class Americans like him are more disenfranchised than ever.

"They Are Prone To Cracking": FAA Orders Boeing To Replace Wing Components On Hundreds Of 737s

 

As if trade war wasn't enough for traders to worry about with futures reopening sharply lower after China’s government blamed the U.S. for the latest collapse in trade talks, it appears that Boeing is about to resume the position as yet another very popular 737 model suddenly finds itself in hot water.

 

Accord to Bloomberg, the wing components on as many as 312 Boeing 737s, including some of the grounded 737 Max, are prone to cracking and must be repaired within 10 days, aviation regulators said late Sunday.

 

With Boeing already under scrutiny for the 737 MAX fiasco, Boeing - which is suddenly finding a lot of faults that never existed before the company found itself under congressional scrutiny - informed the FAA that so-called "leading edge slat tracks" may not have been properly manufactured and pose a safety risk, the agency said. The parts allow the wing to expand to create more lift during takeoff and landing.

 

In response, the FAA plans to issue an order calling for operators of the planes worldwide to identify whether the deficient parts were installed and to replace them. A complete failure wouldn’t lead to a loss of the aircraft, the FAA - which was humiliated for siding with Boeing and was initially against the grounding of the 737 MAX only to flip flop when the rest of the world boycotted the troubled airliner - said, but "could cause damage during flight."

 

Because "damage during flight" of a key component rarely if ever leads to a "loss of the aircraft"?

 

As Boeing noted in the statement, it has notified operators of the planes about the needed repairs and is sending replacement parts to help minimize the time aircraft are out of service, the company said in a statement.

 

Boeing identified 148 parts made by a subcontractor that are affected. The parts may be on a total of 179 737 Max aircraft and 133 737 NG planes worldwide, including 33 Max and 32 NG aircraft in the U.S., the FAA said. The NG, or Next Generation, 737s are a predecessor to the Max family (which by that logic must be the next, next generation).

 

This latest quality control fiasco piles on even more problems for Boeing, whose 737 Max has been grounded worldwide since March 13 after two fatal crashes tied to a malfunction that caused a flight control system to repeatedly drive down the plane’s nose. Boeing is finalizing a "software fix" along with proposed new training that will be required before the planes fly again. One only hopes that Boeing's software "fix" isn't in some way connected to the Google cloud…

In recording, skeptical Pompeo says Trump peace plan could be ‘unexecutable’

 

In remarks from closed-door meeting leaked to Washington Post, US Secretary of State says he gets ‘why people think this is going to be a deal that only the Israelis could love’

 

WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave a somber assessment of the chances of the not-yet released Trump peace plan, acknowledging that parts of it might be “unexecutable,” could fail, or will be dismissed out of hand by either the Israelis or the Palestinians.

 

In remarks made last Tuesday in a closed-door conversation with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations that was leaked to the Washington Post, Pompeo said he could understand why many see the deal as one “only the Israelis could love” and said the US was also planning for a failure.

 

The plan has repeatedly been postponed and Pompeo’s remarks were made a day before the collapse of Israeli coalition negotiations and a move to fresh elections in September, something that is widely expected to set back the launch of the plan even further.

 

Even then Pompeo noted “this has taken us longer to roll out our plan than I had originally thought it might — to put it lightly.”

 

After the publication of the remarks on Sunday, US President Donald Trump was asked about Pompeo’s skepticism, telling reporters outside the White House: “He may be right.”

 

“When Mike says that, I understand when he says that because most people think it can’t be done. I think it probably can. But, as I say often, we’ll see what happens,” Trump said, adding that he was unhappy with the situation in Israel, which he called “messed up.”
