Late last night I read the news that the US has jumped into the Israe/Iran conflict to help our ‘good’ friends the Israelis beast down Iran.
What is that idiot thinking?
US warplanes dropped bombs on nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday, President Trump announced, ending the global uncertainty about his intentions in the Israel-Iran conflict that he had said might last another two weeks. He posted online that the planes had left Iranian airspace after striking three targets. “All planes are safely on their way home,” Trump wrote, per the New York Times. The attack brings the US directly into Israel’s military campaign to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. Iran had threatened to retaliate against the US if that happened and said it would not negotiate as long as it was under attack. Trump said he would address the nation at 10pm EDT.
- The mission: Trump said the targets were Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. Labs in Isfahan have worked on how to convert uranium into the form required to produce a nuclear weapon. It was not often mentioned as a candidate for a strike, per the Times, and presented a more complex target. Inspectors visited the site, where Iran is thought to store its near-bomb-grade enriched uranium, two weeks ago. Fordo is the fortified underground facility that experts said would require the Pentagon’s heaviest bombs, which are carried by B-2 stealth bombers. B-2s had taken off earlier from the US.
- Digging in: As the second week of the Israel-Iran exchanges began, Israel said it’s preparing for a lengthy war, per the AP. Israel renewed its attacks on a nuclear research facility near Isfahan and said it started strikes on military infrastructure in southwest Iran. It wasn’t clear what those targets were.
- Americans in Israel: Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, announced on X that “assisted departure flights” from Israel have begun, per CBS News. “If you are a US citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident currently in Israel or the West Bank and seeking US government assistance to depart,” Huckabee wrote, “please complete this form”: https://mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-intake. Hundreds of Americans arrived on charter flights from Tel Aviv organized by not-for-profit organizations and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday.
- Ayatollah’s planning: Iran’s supreme leader has identified three senior clerics as possible successors in the event of his death, per the Times. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who remains in a bunker, also has selected replacements for military officers in the chain of command. Officials awaiting the US decision on attacking Iran are planning for a range of possible outcomes. Khamenei recognizes that one of those possibilities is his assassination by Israeli or US forces, Iranian officials said, and would consider it martyrdom.
This is a stupid move on Donny’s part. Shows how much influence Israeli cash has on the decision making in DC.
What does this action accomplish…..better yet was it necessary?
Does this mean WAR?
America is now at the center of this conflict thanx to the amateurs running the country.
MORONS!
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Iran and it’s regime should never be allowed nuclear weapons.America is not the dictator of the world no matter what they think. The action taken by Trump has put the world at risk if as expected Iran has actually access to completed weapons. Congress did not declare war after the legal fashion, Trump must be sanctioned for his actions and Israel must be stopped from further action against Iran and in Gaza.
Well said and could not agree more….according to dumbass this is not over after the strikes. Disgusting the US had to9 be part of this insanity. chuq
Israel and Iran should just deport their leaders and send them to a new country in Antarctica called idiot land.
Maybe to Greenland so they can have a bare knuckle fight….since both like violence. chuq
“What is that idiot thinking?”
He was thinking about eliminating the greatest exporter of terrorism once and for all. He was thinking about eliminating the greatest disrupter of security and peace in the world once and for all. He was thinking about maintaining a US/Isreal unified presence in the region for the security of both and preventing the rest of the world’s being subject to threats, intimidation and blackmail from Iran . He was thinking about eliminating an Iran leadership the screams “death to America” and “death to Isreal” every day for last 40 years. He was thinking about creating and nurturing a momentum for peace, prosperity and security for the the entire region including a New Iran. Iran has stated with a loud echoing voice of its intent to incinerate America and Isreal for decades and its efforts clearly indicate that intent. What was the “idiot” thinking? If you don’t get it, what is the world are you thinking ?
Learn to separate bolster from reality…..Iran may be a sponsor of terrorism but so can the US depending on one’s intellectual capability……This has done nothing but put a target on the troops across the globe….chuq
If we resist , yes, we do become targets. When we fight evil or reject evil we certainly do become targets. Gee, ya think we pissed off the Japs and Germans in WW II ? Probably. I sure felt like a target in Miami during the Cuban Missle Crises. We all did. Our troops and our whole country became targets of all possible adversaries in 1945. Police, ICE and Natl Guard are also targets in our own country – Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis , et al. “Hate America” flourishes right here at home.
There was a reason for the Japan thing….we were violently attacked….not so much from Iran….why equate ICE and Nat Guard ,…apples and oranges…..chuq
There will be wars and rumors of wars …..
Yeah but that’s in the time before revelations starts. War actually ceases during Revelations under a World Government run by Israel under the antichrist.
A great one liner chuq
Truth, is this will only lead to Trump being so unpopular he will be unable to govern, Americans never wanted war.
I can pray that you are correct….thanx for the visit and the comment chuq
