When is Trump going to break down and accept that Iran isn’t going to make a deal? Since it’s kind of a big deal to launch a massive lethal military operation with the potential to destabilize the world’s oil market and kill many thousands of people, I think we should be okay with exploring every avenue of diplomacy before pulling the trigger
If China and Russia weren’t busy flying in hypersonic cruise missiles and ballistic anti ship missiles every day then I would agree with you.

IDK if it has already been posted but the voices inside the White House advising against war with Iran are Tulsi and JD.
Tulsi for her obvious anti-war predisposition.
JD for the potential negative political consequences.
Why do you think Tucker roped Mike Huckabee into an interview at this moment in time?
Tucker is team JD along with Peter Thiel.
They see the potential risk of a war with Iran staining JD’s chances in ‘28.

And logic.
To be fair, all anyone has on either side are “sources”. All we can go by in terms of facts are what has happened and what is happening.

It’s only logic because it agrees with your logic

It’s also logical to state that there are more voices inside the White House advocating for war.
See how that works?

So your theory is everyone in the White House is pro-war. Got it.
FWIW war skepticism is even creeping into Boomer Fox News with recent comments from Rachel Campos-Duffy.
I know that’s devastating but I would not worry. War is still highly likely.

There are none of these actually made. ALL ballistic missiles achieve hypersonic speed thanks to gravity

Make the assumption that sounds best to you

The amount of assets moved to the region are not there to sit around with the fingers up their butts. A shitton of money was spent just to get them there, and maintenance after the long flights as well.

True, but these are not traditional ballistic missiles. They can skip off the upper atmosphere at hypersonic speeds and some(limited) ability to maneuver as opposed to just going up into space and then back down on a predictable trajectory. So while they’re not a true hypersonic missile that acts like a super fast cruise missile, it’s not just something they lob up into space and have it fall back down really fast.

We have seen the lack of decent high tech by Russia in Ukraine against a cobbled together military using old versions of Patriot and other systems. Aegis is far better than even the latest Patriot upgrades.

Saudi Arabia has patiently been waiting for this moment for over a generation. With regime change in Iran comes Saudi Arabia's hegemony over the entire Muslim world.

Someone just built a real-time global intelligence dashboard and open sourced it for free.
It's called World Monitor. Think of it as a CNN war room meets Bloomberg Terminal for geopolitics but anyone can use it.
No paid OSINT tools. No expensive subscriptions. No classified access needed.
Here's what this thing tracks in real-time:
- Active conflict zones with escalation scoring
- 220+ military bases from 9 countries
- Live military aircraft tracking (ADS-B)
- Naval vessel monitoring including "dark ships" going off radar
- Nuclear facilities worldwide
- Undersea cables, oil pipelines, and AI datacenter clusters
- Protests, sanctions, internet outages, and satellite fire detection
- Prediction markets as early warning signals
Here's the wildest part:
It has an AI that reads 100+ news sources, classifies threats in real-time, and generates intelligence briefs automatically.
Every country gets a live "Instability Index" score from 0-100 based on military activity, protests, news velocity, and structural risk.
When 3+ signal types spike in the same area, military flights + protests + satellite fires, it triggers a convergence alert.
This is the kind of tool governments pay millions for.
It runs in your browser. One command to install.

I mean, I do not doubt that Tulsi is against this. She is staunchly anti-war. Even if this ends up being short and swift, she isn't going to be for it. Gotta love that woman. At the same time, this needs to happen.
Vance is a little more of a question in my mind. I still don't trust him and if this is true, I trust him even less if he is concerned about the political optics of this strike.
