War with Iran

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Sigh.

He blabbered out loud at the end of first mis-administration that he wanted to get the US out of NATO. Now he is working non-stop towards that end, to please Putin.

What happens when he attacks a NATO ally (Denmark) or some other completely asinine thing?

I cannot believe where this country is thanks to NAZI MAGA.

But hey the other lady laughed too much.

Eh, she was a bad candidate.  Needed someone inspiring and instead got whatever the DNC felt like doing at the last minute.  Objective failure.

But yeah, what we got was far far worse.

I dunno.  The economy is the greatest the world has ever seen.  Our position in the world has never been stronger.  We're allowed to be openly racist, sexist, homophobic and attack the Muslim faith without consequence.  Our government is murdering citizens without consequence.  We're finally making voting harder than ever.  We have the highest qualified cabinet since Lincoln.  We're getting the presidents signature on money, long one of the most pressing issues in the country.  Healthcare has never been less expensive.  We're punishing states that didn't vote the "right way".  We've never been more energy independent.  Science has finally been crushed, along with education.

So, what we got is great, imo.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Listen, the ideas of fiscal conservatism, family values, religious morality, constitutional law, small government and weak executive have been exposed as laughable, so at least we have that.

Oil shortages predicted in April in the US. I'm preparing by reducing travel plans in the coming months to focus on Chicago summer. I'm not sure I've lived through oil shortages before? Market impacts across the board are getting priced in now, I assume.

When they tell you to be quiet about the "tired tropes" of racism and sexism defining the party they support, just remember this:

We're neutering ourselves because of how photo-ops would look.  Our capacity to wage war and provide the best support to our troops is hampered because of insecure masculinity.

You forgot to mention all the valuable information Americans have received about Sharpies, paper clips, "windmills," drapes, etc.

Oh, and as a bonus, U.S. soldiers and Iranian schoolkids are getting killed. There were too many of both anyway.

And Barron, like the rest of the heroic clan, will never fight in the war. As a country we cannot afford to risk the lives of these heroic patriots.

Can't help it. He has flat feet.

Apparently we are using cluster bombs in Iran.

Israel and us criticize Iran for doing the same thing we are doing. Not surprising.

Lest we think "just get control of Hormuz and all is good"

There are many things in life we can't control...

An Iranian strike injured 12 U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, two of them seriously, on the Prince Sultan Air Base, two U.S. officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said on Friday.

The combined missile and drone attack amounted to one of the most serious breaches of American air defenses in the course of the monthlong war with Iran. At least two KC-135 aerial refueling planes also suffered significant damage in the attack.

... But I've heard we already won?

[rocky_warrior]

Yemen... And it's off like donkey Kong

The Israeli military said it had detected the launch of a missile from Yemen toward Israel on Saturday. The military did not say who it suspected of launching the missile. The Iran-allied Houthi militia, which controls much of Yemen and has fired missiles at Israel in the past, had raised the possibility on Friday that it might enter the conflict.

Clown show.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio hasurged G7 allies to prepare for a possible Iranian plan to impose permanent tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, calling it illegal and dangerous.

The rest of the world needs to pay the Patriot Toll.  It's only probably a few pennies.  Tell those countries to Doge their finances.

it's a good thing the Iranian military has been "completely obliterated," something bad could happen:

Iran is putting up a hell of a fight for a country who lost the war 3 weeks ago.

And then again lost it last week.

Iran is putting up a hell of a fight for a country who lost the war 3 weeks ago.

From the Economist:

Although Donald Trump says he has "destroyed 100% of Iran's Military Capability", the 0% that apparently remains is playing havoc with the global economy by choking off 10-15% of its oil supply.

[forgetful]

Legitimate fear. Israel targeted Russian/Iranian assets in the Caspian see a little while back. That impacted Russias key ability to trade with Iran.

The currently have a Russian owned tanker heading to Cuba to break the embargo.

If Trump/US seizes that tanker, further challenging Russias sphere of influence, I wouldn't be shocked to see Russia at least threaten an attack on Israel, especially if they continue actions in the Caspian Sea.

That would open a whole new can of worms.

Forget 42 with a weed conviction, can we open up military service to all dentists?

netanyahu is just a stone cold killer. He will even assassinate Netanyahu to satisfy his bloodlust.
