Iran may have just opened Pandora’s box.

Iran may have just opened Pandora’s box.

That would have been Trump. Everyone there wants the U.S. to send ground troops. He either takes the bait or doesn't.

Shot down with what? The Isreali Air Force is flying day & night at will as they have taken out pretty much all the surface to air missle threat.

Ask Scott Speichers family. Do you actually think that Iran in 2025 has less capability than Iraq in 1991?

 

[TVOLS]

If attacked by Iran, then this will get Trump's attention.

Well hopefully no one says anything mean since he has the impulse control of a monkey.

Reports that: Israel blew the door off of Iran's political prison. Current Iranian gov't and soldiers are defecting. Iran's king is addressing the nation as though his Democratic government is to take control. Offers current leadership fair trials. Sounds like there's movement for an attempted regime change.

Fair trials.

And quick hangings

She's aging quickly. That face job's going to look awful before long.

 

[Vol8188]

The State Department thought otherwise. See paragraph 2, lines 6 and 7. Per that he wasn't the Shah's free choice.

If we are talking about the same section, it seems to be about removing him from office, not about how he came into office. Those are two separate questions

He will do it, his narcissism and need to be the face of everything won’t allow him not to do it.

Iran evidently has a Death Wish.

 

[LouderVol]

So you think the Saudis are controlling Trump.

mmmmmmkay

manipulating, absolutely. getting him to do things he wouldn't otherwise do, absolutely.

they are willing to play his showboating game, and get him to spend.

but if it makes you feel better they have similarly been manipulating other presidents.

This is what Iran wants, its what everyone wants.... you haven't been paying attention. At this point Israel is probably telling the Iranians where to attack the Americans.

 

[McDad]

Are you seriously asking if the United States is supposed to keep its commitments?

You understand that if the US pulls out and behaves like an enemy, then Iran has more reason to want to enrich Uranium, right? Iran is not scared of the UK. They are scared of us. They joined the deal because they are scared of us and they stopped observing the deal because they are scared of us.

Yes. Of course! Why would America (or anyone) abide by a multi-country agreement that isn't working and only effective if we remain regardless of the participation by the other countries?

This much hoopla about Iran bombing the base in Qatar with all the evacuation taking place makes me think this another situation in which they warn America and attack symbolically without significant casualties.

Hope I’m not wrong.

. OK

Minimize casualties? Minimize????? If one American is hurt, I hope we take out the rest of their government. And hold the Qatar government accountable as well.

Nobody was reportedly hurt and every missile was shot down. It’s all political theater

 

[05_never_again]

100% performative. Crude prices are tanking because this is all the Iranians are capable of (or want to do) at this point.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

I believe this was a collision a few days ago.

WATCH: ‘Dark fleet’ tanker collision sparks fire near Strait of Hormuz

No injuries were reported after a collision of two crude oil tankers sparked a fire near the Strait of Hormuz. The post WATCH: ‘Dark fleet’ tanker collision sparks fire near Strait of Hormuz appeared first on FreightWaves.

Switzerland. Mauritania. Japan. Sweden. Great Britain. Canada. Monaco. Lichtenstein. Italy. Portugal. Australia. Uruguay.

But, will any have the desire and wherewithal?

 

[LouderVol]

. OK

how does "no new wars" sound now?
how about fixing the budget deficit?

either Trump was lying from day 1, or he was manipulated into doing something he didn't want to.
