Half. Measure. I have no idea how much you know about this stuff, or what was envisioned regarding the attempt to eradicate the Iranian nuclear program, but what happened far exceeded the best thoughts of the Israeli and US military, and peaceful thinking people should be ecstatic. Saying that Israel "blew its cover," is like saying the US blew its cover at Hiroshima. I think your views are significantly lacking. 3 1

Seems to me the intelligence estimates were not so rosy. And how did Israel get there? Boots on the ground, in part. That free pass likely won’t be there if they have or want to go in again. 1

Boots on the ground, in part. That free pass likely won’t be there if they have or want to go in again. I never claimed inside info, but I've been watching this for years, and a few months before this happened, there was a fairly detailed discussion in the public domain on a site I pay close attention to, detailing the issue, and it was not optimistic. I am also very familiar with weapons/tanking/strike planning and a host of other things related to this strike. I think you are really wrong in your assessment. This was damn near a miracle outcome. The best that could be hoped for. Iran will continue to try, because the regime is insane, but that does no diminish, in any way, the incredible success of this strike. 1
TH3 Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Listened for 2 sec. Basically…invade Ukraine…meet Trump in Alaska …decide to do business together. So much winning.

I hear it’s nothing but “progressives” and dissenters are quickly run out. Sounds incredibly lame. I guess it’s good that mentally weak people feel safe there.

stevestojan Posted August 16 Posted August 16 (edited) I’ve learned to wait 48 hours to a week after Trump does anything to see what the true outcome is. I’ve made a fool of myself jumping to conclusions immediately after an event/comment/action he’s taken. That doesn’t mean it always pans out. But I’ll wait this one out. I do think it was a bad look that Putin fired off more drones at the Ukraine almost immediately after but I suppose when Trump flew a B2 over his head he felt a certain way. I’ll say this whole summit looked poor for Trump based on his build up towards it, but again, I’ll give it a week. Edit: oh. And the red carpet for Vlad ***** Putin was cheesy at best, insulting to an ally at worst. But that’s the kind of thing I’ve just come to expect from Don; tasteless crap. But I just can’t get upset anymore about him having the tact of an Alabama moonshiner. Edited August 16 by stevestojan
