    Not enough to condone killing thousands of other Iranians by bombing Iran - not enough to produce even more instability in the Middle East and to foster the relationship between Iran, Russia and China.

    Donald Trump and his administration doesn't give a **** about the suffering of the Iranian people either, if he did - he and half of his cabinet would not be connected a ring of people that **** children, and they would not be doing everything possible to avoid transparency about child *******.

    whenever they need to justify going to war in the Middle East, it’s always the same playbook

    “Look! Look! That country full of Muslims and brown people is about to make nukes!”

    The White House still hosts a live webpage published following the strike last year that reads, “Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News.”

    A quote from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on that page says: “Based on everything we have seen — and I’ve seen it all — our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons.”

    Wait, if that was the case, why are we about to go to war with Iran over supposed WMD’s?

    they were either lying back then, or they’re lying now

    this regime is so full of sh*t, and it’s hilarious that MAGAs still buy their BS

    I think there is still a misunderstanding of how our military works, and how these operations come about.

    The military along with special forces, and intelligence weeks ago provided Trump with a range of options on Iran. Many of those options have been on the table for months now, but they often take weeks of planning & putting assets into place before a launch can happen.

    All we know is that Trump at some point in the past couple weeks made a decision and that likely includes strikes of some sort. You just don't move the assets into place the way they have if Trump did not approve something.... That being said, he can always call off a strike at the last minute. The supposed "negotiations" are the PR step that both sides are putting out there in order to show that they didn't want to choose violence, but the other side wouldn't negotiate in good faith.

    More than likely what we are looking at is probably next weekend-ish is when this "strike" will happen, and it's anyones guess what Trump chose (our intelligence and military wouldn't be any good if we did know), but if we know his past behavior and what he prefers is he likely chose the option that is meant to do something theatrical, and then commit to nothing else.

    My guess is you are likely to see some strikes aimed at targeting their ballistic missile program infrastructure. Trump claims that Israel is no longer at risk of existential strikes, and Iran says that it's only a short term set back even though they had no intention of striking Israel.

    Trump moves onto whatever he's into next.... I dunno... annexing Antarctica or something.... and nothing is really resolved, MAGA worships him as a false idol, and the programs of the world just continue on for the next guy to solve.

    Tommy wonders why no woke whites are showing up for the Iranians? They show up for Palestinians

    it’s obvious woke people hate Jews

    I think there are many sailors who were stationed there for over 10 months fighting windmills battles and want to quit soon they gets back , hmm even Natanyahu knows some won't make it back, he's planning to meet with India PM To form the next new alliance for future wars in the region which is quite intriguing for the fact,everything Israel 've done has fired back for the past 2 years
