Iran War

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Oh goody.

Nothing but good things can come from this.


If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible. No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States' ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Embassy and consulate closings in at least fourteen countries.

Americans stranded in the middle east and there's no plans or contingencies.

Anyone and everyone could have foreseen the possibilities.

Except for the Orange Buffoon and his Merry Men.

Trump is wrong.....about everything.





Clueless.



This is part of the reason that no one with half a brain would have touched this in over 40 years.

Trump's ummm, "statements" make that poor kid who was so ridiculed for her Miss South Carolina answer look like an oratory genius.

The Kurds can trust the US this time, honest. :roll:

They can't fly charter flights and "commercial options" out of closed airports, duh.

There is some personal responsibility, though. I would have left as soon as the US buildup became ridiculous.

It will not surprise me if one of those carriers is badly damaged or even sunk. Not sure if either of them have their normal complement of submarine surveillance assets because of how restricted the operating area is. But if one is hit, trump will declare it a victory like nobody's ever seen.

Commanders Accused of Framing Iran War as Biblical Mandate, Jesus' 'Return'

https://www.military.com/daily-news/202 ... ndate.html
An organization that has been fighting against religious extremism in the United States military for two decades has reported more than 200 new complaints since Saturday’s initial strikes against Iran, with members across all services claiming that high-ranking officers are tying the mission overseas to fulfilling a Christian prophecy.

A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that President Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to independent journalist Jonathan Larsen

That complaint was made by a non-commissioned officer and provided to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), which from Saturday morning through Monday evening received and logged more than 110 complaints about commanders in every branch of the military.

One complainant, according to Larsen, identified themselves as a non-commissioned officer (NCO) in a unit currently outside the Iran combat zone. However, they are in Ready-Support status where they could be deployed at any moment to join and augment combat operations.

That individual is a self-described Christian who emailed MRFF on behalf of 15 troops that included at least 11 Christians, one Muslim, and one Jew.

That NCO’s commander, described in an email from the NCO to MRFF and shared with Larsen, was described as a “Christian first” member of the military who urged troops not to be “afraid” of what is currently taking place in Iran.

“He urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ,” the NCO wrote in the email. “He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.’"

‘MAGA is Trump’: President fires back at right-wing mutiny over Iran

Tucker Carlson
Megyn Kelly
... Daily Wire podcaster Matt Walsh beseeched fellow conservatives on Monday to stop supporting Trump’s military campaign. “I can’t take the gaslighting, guys. I really can’t,” he wrote on X....
:---P
Trump has dismissed the idea that his critics could speak for the Make America Great Again movement: “MAGA is Trump,” he said in an interview with independent journalist Rachael Bade on Monday....

Trump claimed that he alone spoke for MAGA after Bade asked him about the rebellion in the ranks of his supporters, according to a post she published late Monday. “MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I’m doing - every aspect of it,” he said.

:laughing-rolling: Desperation.
... A flash poll conducted by The Post over the weekend found that Americans oppose Trump ordering airstrikes on Iran by 52 percent to 39 percent; 9 percent said they were unsure.

Sam Rosenfeld, a professor of political science at Colgate University, said the influencer backlash over Iran also speaks to wider problems emerging for Trump. His approval rating was 39 percent ahead of last month’s State of the Union address.

There is an “emerging sense that Trump’s centrality to right-wing politics has an endpoint in the not-so-distant future,” said Rosenfeld. “That all serves to loosen Trump’s symbolic grip on the right’s discourse.”

Iranian Americans in Los Angeles have come together to dance in the streets on day two of the conflict, following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Los Angeles is home to the largest group of Iranians outside Iran.

Waving flags and thank you signs to President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iranian Americans said they felt hope for the future of Iran now.

How are we to know if Iran has dismantled their nuke program without boots on the ground?

How are we to know if Iran really had a nuclear weapons program with boots on the ground and everything filtered through LYING NuttyYahoo, Jagoff and DonOLD?

Thanks. I wonder why Saudi has never built pipelines across Oman, jointly renting out their use to Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq. Why have we been hearing about Hormuz disruption for 40+ years?

And why don't they have ports/shipping on the Red Sea? Don't know, maybe the oil fields are located on the gulf side. -0-?

I think the whole thing has nothing to do with nuclear weapons, but instead is just a symptom of pentagon Pete's irrational hatred of "beardos."I'm preetty sure every one of those ayatollahs are well known beardos.
