Iran War

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Have we won yet?

It depends on the War of Choice calculations. This is the utter disrespect we've come to expect from the lifelong cowardly "bone spurs" Chickenhawk in Chief:

"Trump exploded and lost his temper..." is about as much news as "the sun came up this morning"
But it never occurs to him that if one thing isn't working, maybe he should try something else. If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

We wish. :twisted:


Grain of salt, of course:

Iran Stumps Trump! IRGC Destroys 3 US F-35 Jets In Ballistic Missile Attack On Jordan Al-Azraq Base?

IRGC says in response to a US attack on Qeshm island that killed two parents and their child, aerospace fighters targeted a ramp and maintenance shed at the al-Azraq airbase, which hosts US F-35 fighter jets, with several ballistic missiles, state news agency Fars reports. IRGC said that it had completely destroyed three F-35 aircraft and caused “heavy damage” to three others.
Opps. Fwiw, the F-35 costs around $100 million.

I actually remember seeing that when it came out. I even posted something about it on here in some thread months ago regarding how the "casualties" had to report to a disintegrator of the computer says they've been hit. I was about 14 then and I remember how it made me think of Vietnam since that was on the news every night. And usually Life magazine would print photos of the weeks' Vietnam casualties. I remember one week there were several pages of photos.

Does anyone know if having "concepts of a plan" is better than establishing "perimeters of a deal?" Or are they equally meaningless babble?

I've not heard anything from the death cult/Armageddon/Rapture/Second Coming crowd about the war in Iran. Are they cheering this on in hopes we'll all die? If they have, I must have missed it.

And I've been thinking lately that it sure seems like the US is taking action against (or not taking action against) Iran solely at the direction of Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Yep, Moron Don is a puppet.

Yemen's Houthis attack Saudi refinery after kingdom signs defence pact

... The alliance with Sunni Muslim U.S. allies, ‌Turkey and Pakistan, is intended to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression and stipulates that an armed attack against any of the three ‌would be regarded as an attack on all.

It was not clear whether or how either Pakistan or Turkey would join in any Saudi response to the latest attacks....
The Doomsday crowd is overjoyed. They always knew that the "Holy Land" would be the spark.
