israel determined to start war

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

This is weird. The story explores four rationale for doing this. Sending a shit load of USAF tankers east from around the country. My take is that the US will be refueling Israeli fighters and bombers. As the orange buffoon says "we'll see what happens."

Well, that's ominous.

And potentially incredibly stupid.

Wishful thinking is that they're just staging for contingencies.
It’s worth noting that other assets also appear to be heading in Iran’s direction, including a U.S. carrier strike group heading into the Indian Ocean from the South China Sea as this is being published.

I was sort of disappointed that the story did not mention who all Hegseth told about this before the flights began. And I can't remember if there is already one or two US carriers in the Med. The Nimitz will make it two or three, though.

The Nimitz will make two, it'll be in the Arabian Sea.

Ah, two carrier groups to go. No sauce. I guess the tankers for Israel will base in Iraq. Maybe not, though since it might not go over too well there. They may just stay in Israel. Hegseth will tell somebody pretty soon where they will be. He's funny that way.

Makes sense to base them in a country that supports Hamas, gives them money. Nuttyahoo even arranged for Qatar to be able to send money to Gaza, so it makes sense to base US tankers there. A lot easier to secretly contaminate the fuel (high grade kerosene) there than in Israel or Iraq even. I guess we'll see what happens.

:headscratch: Israel is only telling sectors of the city to evacuate.
US spies said Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon. Trump dismisses that assessment

Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year.

The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program.

But President Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.

“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was “very close” to having a nuclear bomb.

Trump’s statement aligned him with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has described a nuclear-armed Iran as an imminent threat, rather than with his own top intelligence adviser.
Umm, Nuttyyahoo is nutty, duh.
... Trump’s contradiction of Gabbard echoed his feuds with U.S. spy leaders during his first term, when he viewed them as part of a “deep state” that was undermining his agenda. Most notably, he sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2018 when asked if Moscow had interfered in the 2016 election, saying Putin was “extremely strong and powerful in his denial.”
The MAGA Cult leader is sooo gullible.

We know exactly where the so-called “Supreme Leader” is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrum ... 0769479275
Trump if he were president during WW2:

"Big things are about to happen in Normandy few days from now unless Germany and Adolf Shitler surrenders immediately and unconditionally. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Stay tuned!"

Israel is going to try and drag us in to this, probably because they don't have the capability to finish the job on their own.

As predicted,.

Question: If Iran targets and hits a U.S. military camp in the Middle East region, what should the U.S. response be?

A. Hit back, and hard.
B. Do nothing. Maybe warn Iran not to do it again.
C. Other?

Also, we can never forget that this would not be happening if TRE45QN hadn't abrogated the hard-won multinational Iran nuclear deal. Smart.

I can't speculate for all scenarios, but given our deep complicity the goal should always be a cessation in the killing, not its continuation.

Yeah, tit for tat never does anything but escalate. And the Persians (now Iranians) have a culture that doesn't allow for accepting insults graciously even if it results in their severe defeat. but they do deal. And you did say "in Middle East region", right? Wonder what we would say about an Iranian military camp in Baja California. Problem is, everybody in US and western world wants to be Mr. Macho and force Iranians, Iraquis, etc. to just bow and grovel. Homey don't play that. Treat them with a little respect and they'll trade.
