Reagan spent about 5-6% of gdp output for defense. We currently spend about 3,5% with only a fraction of that in actual procurement, maybe 20% on outlays, but a trillion sounds scary.

But the big bad MIC is making us like the USSR..lmao

Harrowing Boodbye Messages leak from inside Iran as citizens are ordered ‘to bring children to the streets’ ahead of Trump’s doomsday ultimatum​


As the clock ticks toward President Trump's 8 p.m. Eastern deadline for Iran to come to the table, panic has gripped the nation.

Facing the threat of devastating military strikes, terrified civilians tell the Daily Mail they are frantically evacuating major cities and saying goodbye to loved ones - even as defiant government leaders deploy a chilling tactic: ordering their own citizens onto the streets as human shields.

The call to gather at infrastructure sites came directly from an Iranian official, captured in an Associated Press video clip.

Speaking in Farsi, he urged 'youth, athletes, artists, students and professors' to assemble at power plants the following day at 2 p.m. local time, arguing that their presence would expose any American strike as a war crime.


With the President openly pledging a 'Power Plant Day' and 'Bridge Day' to dismantle Iran's infrastructure, sources in Tehran and Isfahan describe scenes of chaos - road blockages, mass evacuations, and state television brazenly instructing citizens to gather around key sites with their children.

'They are announcing on national TV - come to the streets and bring your children,' one source with family inside Iran tells the Daily Mail. 'It's their thing to use people as human shields. Same pattern as in Palestine. They do this instead of surrendering or making a deal.'

He added: 'Government supporters will go. They are barbaric. They believe even if they die - even if their children die for the sake of Islam - they will end up in Heaven. My mom says every night they come onto the streets, chanting death to America, death to Israel. Even until midnight.'

Across the country, citizens are bracing for the worst. Supermarket shelves are being stripped bare as people stockpile ahead of threatened rolling blackouts and severed supply chains. One Iranian says he and his family have already stocked up on water and supplies - but fear cuts both ways.

"To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture," he said in a post on X.

Maybe you think so. I'm not the one who can't go a literal day without mentioning someone who was president a decade ago.

Well if the current one is 'weak' we need to establish a baseline of one that is 'strong'. I'm just trying to find out who that someone might be. And now that you have thrown this gem that someone who was president over a decade ago is off limits, the only other one you could be referring to would be Puddinhead himself.

To which I literally LOL.

I figured a lifetime of experience on your end would suffice to establish a reasonable baseline for what a strong man looks like, but alas, Trump seems to fit the bill for you.

He is the antithesis of stoicism and strength through patience. He's impulsive and has a fragile ego. These are hallmarks for a weak man.

Do we really believe there will be major strikes on infrastructure or will an extension once again be found at the 11th hour?

Despite patterns from the past year of Trumplomacy, it's a toss up.

We haven't pushed anything to such a drastic brink like this yet.

Perhaps. The public persona and the private (working) persona of a president are two different things. They have to be. I don't defend Trump's public brashness. He has said some things in the past couple of days that made me cringe. But I am satisfied with policy. I know you aren't and a lot on here aren't. The big picture of what is going on in Iran is clear. Trump is the ONLY president in the 47 years since the thugs took over that is willing to actually stand up to them and do something about it. You should be jumping for joy, because once those burkas are burned, there is a whole new flock of beautiful women for you to explore.

Or maybe you think clowns like Mamdani have the right idea of what Americans should be all about.

Plenty of westernized baddies on this end of the earth with those genes. I also don't see more tang as a benefit of spending hundreds of billions of tax dollars to turn them to glass.

I'm not sure why you think I'd be on board with much of what Mamdani espouses.

You are worried about taxes? Let's have a beer sometime. I'll rock your world.

I wasn't intimating you like the Commie. I'm just not sure where you do stand other than hating Trump. Clear it up for me.

LOL at this ********.

"Facing the threat of devastating military strikes, terrified civilians tell the Daily Mail they are frantically evacuating major cities and saying goodbye to loved ones - even as defiant government leaders deploy a chilling tactic: ordering their own citizens onto the streets as human shields."

And if you actually follow the breadcrumbs you find out there was no order. An Iranian official "urged" specific members of society to gather at infrastructure sites (athletes, doctors, etc.).

We've put ourselves in quite the predicament. If (1) we commit mass murder tonight, it's on us. The world is not going to blame Iran. The majority of our (traditional) allies are not going to blame Iran, except Israel. The majority of America is not going to blame Iran. And if (2) we chicken out, it's a triumphant moment for Iran, and specifically this regime. "Remember when we all took to the streets and stood up to Trump and he looked like a clown? Remember how weak we made America look?"

And then surely the regime change will come, in either scenario.

Well 5 years ago, the Communists (Bernie, Pocahontas, AOC) only talked about getting the millionaires. Somehow, now that conversation has shifted to billionaires. I'm willing to wager that after the SpacEx IPO, Elon Musk will be worth nearly a trillion dollars. But the .gov should take that all away from him and give it to Greasy Gavin for his railroad to nowhere.

And Washington State is getting the millionaires, and the Democrats are beside themselves with glee. They are killing the residents of that state and the people cheer on their own demise.

Trump's decisions affect my life. Mamdani's don't.

I will always be game to have a beer with you should time and geography coincide, old man. I think you know that.

I want you to have your bartender make me an Old Smoky. I think I know where your place is and I would love to stop by sometime.

How do Trump's decisions affect your daily life? I KNOW you are paying less in taxes than you would had the dingbat gotten elected. He made your employee's lives better with the no tax on tips thing. How has he hurt you?

Donnie the Antichrist. Phew things are getting hot and heavy. Somebody check his scalp for the sign of the devil! 😆

Time for Pakistan - yup, sh*thole Pakistan that harbored Bid Laden - to throw Trump a lifebuoy to save his ass from embarrassing full on TACO.

Just. Watch.

T minus 3 hours...

Others didn’t go quite so far, but have begun raising new levels of concern about Trump’s intentions.

One of them is former Trump ally Tucker Carlson, who on his show Monday criticized Trump like never before. Carlson said Trump was threatening to commit “a war crime, a moral crime” in Iran by attacking infrastructure in ways that would lead to mass death, and he even seemed to suggest Trump might be the antichrist.

I took a buyout, man. Got burned out of 3am clock outs and partners weren't willing to pay enough to bring in a GM, so I sold my shares for a hefty profit and delta'd the **** out of Knox.

My new LLC has secured funds to open a full restaurant here in Richmond. I just got back here, so we're hunting for properties to either rent or outright purchase. I'll keep you posted.

Hope you like old spaghetti Western movies.
