Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

[Vinty]

Israel looks like it has all it can handle in southern Lebanon right now, as well as keeping a force in Gaza to maintain the 'ceasefire', so it'll be incumbent upon American Marines to go into Iran: a country larger than Iraq with a population over 90mn. Good luck with that Donald.

An assault on Iran would mean trump waving goodbye to any hope in the midterms, losing the Senate/House (or both) and becoming a lame duck for the remaining two years of his tenure. Go ahead Donny; make my day.

I don't think Trump really knows what he is doing.
Those behind him know exactly what they are doing, they put him in front of the cameras as a distraction.
The Iranians have seen what has happened to Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and knew at some point they would be attacked by Israel and America.
They have been preparing for this scenario for decades, interestingly the Chinese have started to get involved by supplying 'Humanitarian aid' to Iran.
If the conflict degenerates into a war of attrition and the Chinese start supplying the Iranians with war materials then the conflict could last for years.

If independence of thought means supporting Arab terrorism, no thanks.

I dont support Arab terrorism in the least or any terrorist activity but I can see humour and sarcasm in posts that does make sense. blup made a valid point of stating how can blowing up Irans gas supplies help us out and can only increase energy prices.

other Arab countries….

….Are working hard to defend themselves against Trumps pointless war.

Arab countries have shown remarkable restraint against Trumpf’s Epsteen avoiding antics, and Irann’s counter aggression. Give your head a shake

Filly doesn’t give a f••k about energy prices

They are and have been for some time. It might stop when China wakes up to the fact it will have to buy their oil from the Arab countries the weapons are being used against.

Victory for the mad mullers is regime survival at any cost

Victory for

Israel would be leaving Iran in chaos which will take them years to rebuild which could cause a power vacuum even when the bombing stops ??

The mad mullers can also be re bombed in the future as and when

Orangina wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico.


Others have now come up with a belter for his current cloosterfoog:

"The Persian Goof"

Rare perspective from someone who doesn't parrot Western propaganda.

One of the biggest surprises of the war is why Iran turned it's firepower on neighbouring Arab countries, some of which could have loosely been described as allies at various times.
The result is that the whole of the middle east has turned against Iran and that may well translate into more countries determined to see the end of the IRGC.

No surprise, completely predictable

Why I said Trump should back off and leave the Arabs to finish this war. They do not want their economys disrupted through Iran firing missiles all over the middle east and disrupting their trade. Oil is valuable and as far as there isnt an infinate amount of it left, blowing up the oil fields all over the middle east is only going to harm us.

Obviously the wise left wingers on here saw it coming, I was talking about the wider world.

It's the Persian Gulf to some, the Gulf of Arabia to others, Saudi and several other countries. It's a bit like the French calling the English Channel La Manche, cheeky scoundrels.

Plenty on the right foresaw it, but must importantly it was a scenario that American defence experts foresaw.

What’s surprising is that the Arab countries aren’t forming an alliance against Trumpf’s war, although their reaction to the gas fields bombing suggests even Dumpf thinks things have gone to far.
