All Activity

And what does it prove if we don't have those sleeper cells? That all of the hand wringing about the border was BS? Or that Trump really effed up when he didn't build the big beautiful wall (which MAGA conveniently seems to have forgotten)?

Yes, this is a thing that dumb people think. But in the real world, this action, like the US stepping back from global hegemony, only incentivizes nuclear proliferation. Countries with nukes generally don’t get invaded. Countries protected by countries with nukes generally don’t get invaded.

Except that the promise of action is now on the table for states that pursue nukes. We’ll see.

Interesting thought there. Drudge has a reference to Iran indicating that the enriched uranium was moved in advance of the site and that there is no leak. I wonder whether we can determine the success (or lack thereof) of the strike by determining whether there is a radiation spike in the area of the bombings. If there is no spike, does it mean that either that the facility is intact, or that the uranium was moved in advance? Both options are problems, but especially the second one, because then we're going to have to find out where the eff that uranium is at before it becomes a dirty bomb. The bet here is that if it was moved, it's in Pakistan.

It’s ok that you think WW3 is here. I wouldn’t call it cute, but it’s fine. It probably goes hand in hand with the global economical meltdown you are sure happened earlier this year.

It’s the opposite. You let Iran have them, everyone can have them. Especially in light of this crisis. Good thing our immigration policy has been tight the last 4 years.

Had the exact same thought. Who knew 47 is a Trekkie?

The MAGA ideology everyone! It’s totally not a cult!

And yet Trump befriended the North Koreans. And we have thousands of nukes. They're principally defensive weapons. We'll see in the days and weeks ahead whether bombing the Iranians was the right call. A lot turns on Hormuz.

It’s cute that you think Iran isn’t going to retaliate!

Gotta think that lots of countries are thinking of starting nuclear weapons programs now. If no deal can be trusted, and you can be bombed and attacked for not having nukes even as you are negotiating a potential nuclear treaty, the only logical solution is to get nukes to prevent bombings. We’re not bombing North Korea are we? Pakistan? Everyone is going to want nukes to protect themselves now.

Oh well. America First. That’s what I was told regarding Ukraine, anyways.

I like peace. I love peace! I also think the Iranian nuclear ambitions had to end. Would have preferred it happen without today’s events, but so be it. You see WW3 as underway and I see a world better off without Iranian nukes in the picture. Please keep in mind that you have been wrong about EVERYTHING the last couple years.

Maybe you missed the part where they cheated on that “deal,” have actively pursued one, and were not accepting any terms that would tell them “no enriching at all.” Everything else was on the table including the regimes survival. They chose nukes. Thats not peace.

Agreed. 100%. We coordinated with the Israelis. Let's see if the Iranians are still capable of mining the strait now.

Explains why the naval base at Bandar Abbas got the business earlier today. Had to make sure Iran couldn't retaliate by shutting down Hormuz.

Sit down and negotiate. Like we did with the deal Trump killed a few years ago

I went to CCHS but the district border was 5 doors away. I lived only ½ mile down the street from JFK.

That bill is bad. This situation could get really bad. All eyes now turn to Hormuz. If that thing is mined tonight and tankers can't get through . . . . there are going to be big economic problems at home. Probably trash it since they probably would be moving that thing into play at this point if they actually had it. And, I'll add, if that intel did exist, maybe we shouldn't have diddled after Israel started this thing and taken it out ASAFP instead of waiting to hit the three nuke sites. So your point about intel re: a nuke supporting this action at this time doesn't wash.

What was I to do with the intel Iran has a nuke?

Considering he ran on being a president of peace, you’d think so. Alas, people like you happily eat up whatever they’re served

Checking in on this. Surely you oppose Trump’s strike on Iran, assuming your views are consistent

People are going to be hungry.

Raise your hand if you voted for Trump bc you thought he would never ever strike a country that posed a threat to the U.S. or our allies. *No one raises hand*
