Iran War

[Vrede too]

Yup.

Qatar is gonna want their plane back.

Maybe not right away, though.

Sure am missing cancer ridden, addle brained Joe Biden.

He didn't start any wars, did he?

[Whack9]

Going well.





Could be happening already.

Will DonOld escalate?

Iran reportedly gave Qatar a heads up before striking so that personnel could be evacuated by the US/whomever else to minimize casualties. Similar to when they struck Iraq after we assassinated Solemani.

Both sides now have an exit ramp. Both the US and Iran can claim victory. Hopefully the US doesn't escalate.

Can't recall anyone lobbing missiles at our troops either.

There were adults in the room four years ago when Iran responded and we didn't escalate.

AFAIK the only adults now is the JCOS and his merry men.

Hopefully that will be enough as long as Iran is done.

[Supsalemgr]

Have I missed the outrage from China and Russia over the Iran action?

Afghanistan was dicey right through to the very end.

I was hoping they would deny entry to felons. I guess that was folly.

Hopefully the US doesn't escalate.

Maybe it'll be revealed in two weeks.

Trump’s reckless Iran strikes could backfire spectacularly
America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public.

... Trump’s casual, incoherent declaration of war is of a piece with his casual, incoherent decision to open another potentially catastrophic Middle East conflict. Wars often give the commander in chief a chance to present himself as the voice of the nation and a rallying point for patriotism. Trump’s laziness, and his obvious disdain for the American public and the Constitution, has meant that his call to war has resulted in little enthusiasm, except among his own partisans.

Resemble anyone we know?

As we've been posting, BRD crew:

... Experts, though, say there is no real evidence that Iran is on the verge of acquiring weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is about to build a nuclear bomb any day now for 33 years.

Among those who said there was no evidence that Iran was developing a nuclear weapon was Trump’s Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard testified to Congress in March that “the (intelligence community) continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.”

No nuke = WAR CRIME. DonOLD's attack might be, anyhow, but this makes it far worse. Shame that the lifelong cowardly "bone spurs" Chickenhawk in Chief has made so many air warriors, submariners and other brave military complicit. They'll never live it down.

... US troops could also be attacked. That’s what happened after Trump assassinated Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in January 2020. Iran retaliated by striking an Iraq base; 100 American servicemembers were subsequently diagnosed with brain injuries (Trump callously dismissed the injuries as “headaches”). More, as Robert Kagan warns at The Atlantic, wars are often used to advance authoritarian policies at home — a terrifying prospect given Trump’s ongoing attack on constitutional rights.

Crap.

There is also a good bit of evidence, though — especially from Lyndon Johnson and George W. Bush — that failed wars can destroy a presidency. And America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public than this one. Trump has recklessly endangered the country and world. It’s not much consolation that he may also have endangered himself.

Meh, his "legacy" was always going to suck, regardless. However, the subservient GQP may suffer at the polls. We'll see.

And led around by the nose by Bebe.

Probably appealed to his vanity. Easy target.

Sounds like there will be no escalation?

Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered. There have been 14 missiles fired — 13 were knocked down, and 1 was “set free,” because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their “system,” and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured. Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrum ... 4268466099

[O Really]

"peace and harmony in the region"
Sure, right after Armageddon and the takeover by the AI-led zombies. Or maybe right after Muskrat gives away all his money to fight world hunger. Or if not, then after Trump goes a half-hour without a lie. All about equally likely.

[O Really]

The war will proceed normally:

Enthusiasm
Disillusionment
Panic
Search for the Guilty
Punishment of the Innocent
Praise for those not involved

Anyone believe it?

If true, anyone think it'll stick?

No wonder other Nations saw America as a weak Nation under what was democratic leadership. Not only do you portray yourself as a "Rainbow", you verbally exemplify it.
