Iran

[NashVol11]

Random time to finally incorporate the period.

Just for you (I genuinely thought your post was funny)

 

[InVOLuntary]

My lip reading 101 thinks he says “Everyone”.

Which also makes sense to blame Trump for btw.

And that's why I don't pay attention to anything you dems post.

Good to see that Fox News is still dishing out low iq boomerslop.

It's about the only thing they do well. And watch that boomer crap, junior. Slop is slop and a lot of the teenie boppers on here eat it up.

Because then ol Rubio turned around and weaseled out the exact opposite of what he had just said. You know, as politicians do.

Remember again, this admin still hasn't figured out if we attacked to take out nukes, we attacked to prevent an attack, we attacked just because, or any number of reasons. We also will do a quick strike but maybe not, and Iranians can take back their country but maybe we need to do more.

Like I said, I'm young, but this whole thing is more farcical than anything I've ever seen. It's like a real life SNL skit, and I hate SNL.

Defensive preemptive strikes is so funny to me

Only because Israel assassinated JFK. JFK was gonna have them sign up as a foreign agent and they couldn't have it.

Are you by chance of Middle Eastern descent?

First sentence in your link:

Iran accelerated its production of uranium enriched to near-weapons grade levels in November, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

'near-weapons grade' isn't weapons grade.

I'm guessing the idea is once you go beyond "normal" enrichment (under 20%) it starts getting pretty sketchy to play the "nothing to see here" game. That story had them at 60% enrichment followed by

"Accelerating the production of uranium enriched to 60 percent U-235 is concerning because the material can be quickly enriched to weapons-grade levels or 90 percent."

I guess the argument would be that waiting until we're actually aware of "weapons grade" enrichment levels might be a bit late.

Trump is definitively America's most dangerous enemy right now.

 

[Redleg68]

Are we just going to allow these strike to continue to happen? Why are these people not turned to ash yet?

Right extremism is not a replacement for Left stupidity.

Same here. Unsure how this statement from Rubio means anything different.

After a reporter asked Rubio to clarify whether the United States was forced to strike because of Israel’s plans, the secretary said no.

Because it directly contradicts what he just said was the reason! He realized he said it out loud and tried to backtrack

Friday night they claimed a peace deal was within our reach and both sides would continue. Saturday morning we're blowing stuff up after Israel Leroy Jenkins'd it and kicked things off. In what world did the actions of Israel not force our action?

And how was that not handled with last year's strike? There has been no evidence presented that they have started the program back up. It's not even mentioned as a reason we're bombing them now

You’re discrediting those here illegally affiliated with terrorist organizations and old white liberal women.

If erasing Iran from the map of Earth saves one American life I’d do it yesterday.

So you'd kill 90 million people to save Tex Rivers' or Sqeaky Fromm's life. What a genius and what a humanitarian.

I believe his first statement was correct no matter what he said trying to backtrack.

 

[appvol]

Expected. You aren't being an honest person

Sounds like you. I forgot you know everything that Iran has. You must be in their inner circles. You got lucky you didn’t just get caught up in the last strike that took out more leadership

Ask him if he’ll get between an ICE agent and an American citizen protesting.

I've always wondered this and maybe one of you can answer.

If you don't get to the threshold for "weapons grade" what happens? Did it not meet the threshold for energy needed and it becomes a dirty bomb? A baby nuclear explosion? A thud with no reaction but a nuclear leak in a small area?

I have no idea. But I think it is a good question.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I gave the link to the exact question I asked. It was very simple. "Why did the United States choose to station the USS Gerald Ford next to Israel?"

Because of you are stationing ships in the Mediterranean ( see US Sixth Fleet) and you want to be as close as possible to your target (Iran); you place said ships in the Part of the Mediterranean that is actually closest to Iran. And that would be at the far eastern end which is the coast of Israel. Where else would you put them? Spain
Consult a map please

What did the Israelis have to gain by assassinating JFK?

Unlike Epstein is a Mossad asset, there isn't a ton of support for this, but Israel has had pretty close relationships with every POTUS for a while, and the theory is based on the fact that JFK was a hardass with them in some ways. I don't find it convincing, or the evidence interesting. But it's possible.

Fair points. But hog's post was in reply to PJ asking about weapons grade. The answer was invalidated because the link was about "near weapons grade".

Trump is affiliated with a terrorist organization. And the hair and makeup gives old white liberal woman vibes.

What's even funnier is that we're not doing regime change but we targeted the regime to change it.

 

[OrangeTsar]

And Charlie Kirk carried their bath water for years and they still assassinated him as well. Israel isn't exactly known for being loyal to its supporters.

Are the Jews here in the room with us right now?
Seriously man, get some professional help.

That is how Rome became the greatest empire in the history of the world FWIW

Then they gave all of those people citizenship rights and welfare and eroded their culture to the point collapse.

So that's a great comparison.

This is how Rome over-extended itself and lost its empire.
