What say you? Does the Orange Man kick off a new war with Iran this weekend? All the signs certainly point to something going on. The level of build-up is far beyond saber rattling at this point.
I am leaning strongly toward something happening and soon, probably after the Sabbath is over in Israel, but this weekend and maybe as soon as the next few hours. The neocon ghouls from Lindsey Graham to Mark Levine to Mike Huckabee are all counting on something happening.
There are thousands of sailors on an aircraft carrier, they better hope Iran doesn’t have any hypersonic missiles that can reach them…
If it does kick off that likely means the last threads holding the MAGA and America First coalition together will snap. It will also spell electoral disaster for the Republican party, while the old boomercons will cheer a new war for Our Greatest Ally, younger Republicans are not on board.
Zionists understand that support is waning quickly in America so that might explain the sudden urgency to do this before opposition can really coalesce around forcing Trump to get Congressional authorization.
I don’t think Iran is going to be able to stop an attack but if one does kick off a lot of people are going to die, sacrificed to appease Israel or Ba’al or whatever. Whatever happens, it won’t be good and it won’t do anything to make America more secure or Americans safer or more prosperous.
Not that Americans are the concern of our ruling class, including the Orange Man.
Look into your crystal balls and tell me what you see, will it be war or a nothingburger or something in-between?
The new term is “parasite class” (formerly elites or ruling class). h/t Ed Dowd.
Well Trump announced “talks”. Last time he did that… And he’s considering a “limited” strike. Like the other side doesn’t get a vote. “No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow. What? Look, somebody’s got to have some damn perspective around here! Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM!.” (B5, Susan Ivanova)
My only question is whether Iran puts a carrier on the bottom in their first strike or later.
For the rest? Admiral Painter was an optimist.
If they could sink the carrier without losing American sailors I might be in favor it doing so
Many folks have discussed the bad idea an attack on Iran. Iran openly told Trump and Co that ANY ATTACK (even a “limited one” will generate a massive attack on Israel AND ANY Nation that allows US forces to attack Iran. I had to laugh when Israel told Iran that THEY are NOT INVOLVED but Iran simply repeated that statement.
Oil supplies crippled at 20% by the actions… Many Trillions of Derivatives all around the Western World would go crazy as Oil prices are VERY HIGH in their calculations.
Unless they have JFK level threats against Trump and his family, I don’t see anything except the RESTORATION of the previous agreement against nuclear weapons for Iran. You know the one Trump discarded a few years ago.
So I hoping for a “Mission Accomplished” BS scenario as we are going to suffer serious casualties if this idiot idea moves forward.
If the Rothchild’s wanted to destroy America militarily and economically what a deal a attack on Iran would be.
Just so everyone understands and is able to put this in place. Iran is not Grenada. Iran is physically slightly larger than Alaska and contains about 90 million Persians (not Arabs)
Imagine invading Alaska even with the current population with a few carriers and thinking about how well that would go.
No idea what dumb thing they are gonna do but i doubt it ends pretty.
I am betting after Tuesday’s state of the union address. Orange Man does not want anything to take away from him informing the world of his greatness.
In the 12 day war last year, Israel was damaged far, far worse than the Israeli media and our lying, gaslighting legacy media would ever admit. Several substantial military targets inside Israel were struck and heavily damaged. That is why the Jewraelis called off the war so quickly.
Make no mistake. Iran has Russian (and probably Chinese) hypersonic missiles. They can do serious damage to US assets in the region. Rumor has it that China has supplied them with Dongfeng ballistic missiles, which were designed to sink warships such as aircraft carriers.
The only military action I’d be able to support would be setting up say a 100 mile exclusion zone between our southern border and the northern border of Mexico. Just clear it out. Anything else is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. I don’t give a damn about Israel and I don’t give a damn about ‘womyn’s rights’ in Iran. No clue when war will break out (I have not been following the news) but from the bits I’ve seen here and elsewhere, it certainly sounds as though Trump is planning something. God, I hope not, but as wisdom goes, wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one fills up first.
