Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

[Vinty]

You sound like Goebels.

Probably spends too much time in the Internet world rather than the real world.
Needs to get out more and talk to real people.

 

[Vinty]

Easy. Get Israel out of the middle east and find it a new location in world somewhere civilised and democratic. Then move all the world's muslims into the middle east.

East is east, west is west.

Sounds like a good idea.

 

[blup]

Everyone in the region is scared stiff their desalination plants will be targeted.
I don't see Iran backing down, so trump will have to follow through on his deadline or face ridicule for this latest subversion of International law.
What did they expect Iran to do after their leader was assassinated? Roll over and allow a minority group of pro-democratic protestors take over the country, waving banners and praising the golden trump for deliverance? Bloody mad, they are.

The penny surely has to drop with the arab countries that trumpf is their enemy now not their friend.

 

[Vinty]

But above all don’t panic

The quickest way to get people to panic is to tell them not to panic, because they then know that there is something they should be panicking about.lol.

Giving Iran 48 hours (and counting) to comply with his latest demand, trump is determined to push this beyond the limits of sanity. Prepare to be dazzled by this latest descent into madness. The consequences will be far reaching and anyone cheering this lunatic should reconsider their perspective when oil and gas prices push up the costs of everything from petrol to plastics; fertiliser to the food on your plate.

No one should take a single word Trump says seriously, its obvious that he isn't really in charge.
The plans for the attack on Iran were drawn up long ago, that includes boots on the ground and regime change in Iran.
All Trumps rantings about 48hr deadlines or about the war being already won, are nonsense.
Hegseth has asked Congress for 200billion dollars, that means the war is going escalate and go on for a very long time unless the Iranian government capitulates and surrenders, that scenario doesn't seem likely at the moment.

Do you think they should consider Iran their friend and thereby isolate themselves from the rest of the world? (China, Russia and N.Korea excluded natch)

Are we actually in WW3 now?

Most people consider the world a worse, more dangerous place with Trump in it, yes. Two years or so and counting.

For a real mess, you need theocracies fighting. Iran has been a theocracy since 1979. Israel has some theocratic aspects. Hegseth and the other “agenda 2025” nutters are trying to make the DoD a theocracy. Attwood’s “Handmaid’s tale” is relevant.

 

[SPLINE]

The consequences will .... push up the costs of everything from petrol to plastics; fertiliser to the food on your plate.

....and dope.

....and dope.

Don’t forget Coke for the toreys

Trumpf now rewriting history to pass this off not as regime change or obliteration of the nuclear threat, but as the degrading of their military capabilities

He’ll likely settle on “It was Bibi’s/Hegseth’s fault” (pick one), one day soon.

 

[Highway Man]

Israel has a good reason for attacking Iran, Trump has no reason other than they deserve it.
