Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

[Highway Man]

I'll leave you to it with filly then.

Also I am basing my opinions on Russia as my wife is Russian and so we visit her family and see with my own eyes how they live, sure life in the outskirts and wilderness is a tough existence but in the major citys it is a very different story. Even though products such as Apple etc are sanctioned and unavailable direct, they get them through different channels, more expensive yes but widely available.

Nah, she was after a meal ticket.

There are some jobs that only a migrant will do.

So the argument is that Trumpf’s little venture is really a latter day Vietnam, a proxy war between Us and Chinna. Don’t see what’s in it for anyone in that case..

Trumpf still between the rock and hard place of his own making. Remarkable that Melannia is using Epsteen to divert from Irann.

These people are devoid of morals or common sense.

During her speech, when referring to those who put the stuff online, she said along the lines of 'they have no morals, no sense of what's right, no thought for others'. I'm paraphrasing but that was the gist.

I sat there watching thinking 'eh, HEEEEEEELLO, you are married to Donald Trump?!?!?!?'

No not really quite on the right lines, however there is only 1 country fighting Iran in this war for the right reason and that country is Israel. Hence why they are continuing and ignoring the cease fire and the "peace plan"

There seem to be three theories why Mrs T has made her statement. First a pre emptive strike against some damaging information that is expected imminently. Secondly, a litigation strategy to help show malice in any adverse publications. Apparently in the US freedom of speech allows a lot to get by that would be defamatory over here, but you can sue if you show it was malicious. Thirdly, she's just fed up with the lies being spread about her. Maybe a a little of each

In more important news, Ukraine has blown up two Russian oil rigs in the Capsian sea and has attacked Admiral Makarov, a Russian frigate which was firing missiles at residential buildings across Ukraine.
Last month Ukraine attacked three oil sites in Russia's Leningrad region including the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk, and the inland Kirishi oil refinery.

Don't know about the US bombing Iran back to the stoneage, looks like we will all be back in it if this continues to keep blowing up oil wells and refinerys.

By Ukraine I assume we're talking about the US or the EU. Surely Ukraine ran out of money a few years ago, although by most accounts, so have Russia, it's all so confusing.

21 countries are providing military aid to Ukraine, and not just US and European countries, plus they are producing there own GDP via agriculture, defence production, IT industry, financial services, and transport and logistics.
Ukraine's GDP is estimated to be $224billion in 2026 with over 30% going on defence spending.

Interestingly, Putin's buddy Orban has made sure Hungary is not on that list.

If there was a list of countries that have stolen EU aid in cash and gold that was in transit to Ukraine, and beaten up the crews of the security vans, the only country on that list would be Hungary.

there is only 1 country fighting Iran in this war for the right reason

"Right"

That reason being, to exterminate thousands of people in the Middle East who are not Jewish, and to destroy their nations' culture and heritage.

And, as you say, Israel continues to do it.
