Bombing Wars a lot less likely

I started hearing the "breaking news" alerts going off on my phone waking me up then and I was like, fuck. But then we knew this was gonna happen.

It is 6 hours difference from ET so it was daytime when this started in the ME.

Decided to take a peek b4 sleep.
I totally forgot about Iran!
😑

For example, the Philly Flower Show starts today and goes all this week.

Then when the whiny baby doesn't get attention, outrageous actions get carried out.

IOW, as has been oft-posted on DU - "stochastic terrorism".

It has literally gone from frequent sloganeering and predictions, to reality.

You needed to ask the Article I branch to approve this.

Are your allies in Congress going to try to get this approved after the fact?

against a nation of 91 million. So yes, I expect this will be approved retroactively. Sad times ahead.

It is not epic

up that deal and now he is starting an unneeded war over Iran’s nuclear program?

We had a deal worked out to keep Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon and Donny tore up
that deal which allowed for 24/7 inspections any place in Iran by the International atomic energy
administration to make sure Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon. You can’t build a nuclear
weapon without bomb grade nuclear materials and the treaty that President Obama, Secretary of
State John Kerry, and Sec. of Energy and Chairmen of M.I.T. physics department Ernie Moniz got
done did just that.

There are two ways to get bomb grade nuclear material: # 1 is by enriching Uranium 235 until it is @ least
95% + pure by the use of centrifuges which the treaty stopped Iran from having or making plutonium in
breeder reactors which Iran did not have and the agreement made it impossible for Iran to have such
reactors and you can’t build or have such devices without leaving evidence of having such a program.

Every country in the world should now treat the United States and Donald Trump as pariahs and
threats to the World’s peace. They should shut down all trade, recall their ambassadors, and sell off all
“the paper” they are currently holding of the United States debt aka T-bills and bonds to force Trump
to stop his madness.

That crazy Mother Fucker is willing to kick off WW III because the Epstein Files shows him to
be a child rapist.

His boys will go along with child rape but watching him snuff out a raped child maybe a bridge to far for even them.

There are trump epstein snuff films some people say.

And then there's his sharks and boats comment. They found a trap door over the ocean in a building on Epstein's island. Did they feed somebody to the sharks? Throw someone overboard?

Can't wait to see all the MAGAts sign up to fight for their cult master.

Ye gods! I so very much wish that we could open a better, more sane timeline for our planet.

Apparently, after weeks (weeks!!) of negotiations, Ali Khamenei had still not offered to invest $billions in World Liberty Financial stable coin or buy a seat on Trump's Board of Peace. What's wrong with this guy?

Corrupt MAGAT losers. The dictator has spoken.

Is he talking about himself?

...the Fifa Peace Prize?

If that actually happens you DONT want to be viewed as NOT supporting the people. They have been trying for years to get rid of the Mullahs & we gave them little more than lip service. If this works & the people are freed, Trump WILL get a lot of credit for it like it or not.
Trump is a piece of shit & the worst President we've ever had. But we have to make sure that standing against HIM isnt viewed as standing against freedom elsewhere in the world.
If the regime is changed & the country is freed, the GOP campaign ads for Nov will write themselves
Hold your tongue & see how this goes

But I don’t follow the logic or hope that the people of Iran will rise against their leaders.
I don’t think there has ever been a case where a sovereign country has been attacked by another country and then the people rose up against and then overthrown their heads of state.

I could be wrong, but throughout history things like this tend be a disaster for the attacker

If the top people were taken out, the rest MAY be disorganized. This is an opportunity.
I dont give it much chance, no. But whatever comment we make about trumps idiocy should also include supporting a free Iranian population. We'll see within a couple weeks if ANYTHING positive for them comes out of this

N/T

ISIS, Al Queda and remnants of the Iranian military are waiting in the wings to swoop in once a power vacuum forms. A true democracy springing from chaos like this is the least likely scenario.

Maybe not the best choice of words. But THEY could prevent an ISIS-like takeover.
My point is that we can show support for a free Iran while still criticizing trump & his idiocy. Statements of support for THE PEOPLE should also be put out. Otherwise, like I said, this WILL be a GOP ad in Nov. They're baiting us. Just like the "stand for Americans" moment in the SOTU speech.

Judge and Jury.

America has always supposedly stood for backing freedom across the world. Up until Trump became a president anyway.
Imagine Iran returning to the society they were in the mid 70s.

How would that impact you, me, or the rest of America?

Get this lunatic out of office now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joint effort huh????? between Netanyahu and Trump 2 criminals WTH????? 2 sick white guys playing with peoples lives????

Would it even help if we call our Senators are this?????? assault????
Where is Congress????

Most Americans don’t care about bombing. Boots in the ground will be the red line.

And anyone who thinks boots on the ground will be a cake walk is a fool.

This is just Trump launching some bombs and pretending it’s some massive war to cosplay being a commander.

But once started, you (the attacking nation) doesn’t get to dictate the direction, duration, where, when and type or amount of violence that is determined. The nation that was attacked - they also get a say in what will happen.

They lob some ineffective bombs back in the region and things die down. I’m hoping things just the 25th episode of that.

Trump will look for an off ramp to get them back negotiating and then pretend he did something amazing.

Probably all part of the same overall strategic action. A diminished Hanas and Lebanon on notice make this relatively more manageable, I’m sure. Explains why Gaza was physically removed.

"This murderous terrorist regime must not be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons..." - Netanyahu

Only one murderous terrorist regime with nuclear weapons allowed in the ME, right Bibi asshole?

Well, I am offended, maybe that's what they meant.

Huh.......the Oxford Dictionary will have to reassess that word's definition now, won't they?

Ultimately, there are two reasons that dwarf all the others.

1) Netanyahu wants to do regime change and Trump wants to stay close to Bibi so Trump will get the best properties in Gaza.

2) Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

What it is NOT about is Iran's nukes. Oman had negotiated an agreement but Thursday whereby Iran agreed to no uranium enrichment for several years and to have any already-enriched stocks taken out of Iran.

If this were about the safety of Americans and allies (do we still have allies?), Trump would have taken that deal and claimed the 10th war he has stopped.

Nobel Peace prize, you orange turd.

I was betting he would have had a huge RED button on his podium, at the State of the Union, and slam his fist down on it, in front of everyone, signaling the U.S. Armed Forces to begin bombing IRAN........providing FOX news and the Republican MEDIA video and sound bites they would use from that moment on for the next three years. Demonstrating the power of their chief MAGA, Psychopath leader.......

which it did yesterday - USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier set to arrive at Israeli coast today

Several eyewitness reports are coming in that the Palms was struck in Dubai.

I don’t call that a major operation.

Trump this morning posts his reason for war with Iran.

Wait. I thought it was because of their nuclear program?

the lesson should have learned by now.

You can't conquer a country with Air power alone. This conflict will spread. Without troops to secure the country the Iranians will continue to fight. Since we're the aggressor they will attack every US asset they can reach.

This will turn into a hairball even Trump can't comb over.
He'll eventually use the klusterf**k to declare a national emergency.
Then he'll declare the elections null and void and claim he is due a third term since we're in a state of War.
An emergency he created.

And once again, as in Venezuela, its ALL about the oil.
