When they took out Soleimani they did it while Trump was at Mar-a-Lago. Right now his plane is on approach to Palm Beach International. From there it's just a few miles to Mar-a-Lago.

Just looked it up because I couldn't remember, but Trump was also at Mar-a-Lago for the Maduro raid.

“I’d love not to, but sometimes you have to.”
That is the President of the United States speaking about military strikes on Iran. Not a hypothetical. Not a deflection. A conditional statement with the condition already met. Geneva collapsed Thursday. Iran rejected zero enrichment. The condition under which he would “love not to” no longer exists. What remains is the second half of the sentence.
Sometimes you have to.
Now watch what Rubio did on the exact same day. He designated Iran as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention. The framing is hostages. The function is legal architecture. You do not designate a country as a criminal state and then sign a nuclear agreement with it. The designation does not enable negotiation. It forecloses it. It creates the legal and political framework in which military action becomes not just possible but justified. You cannot shake hands with a government you officially classified as a hostage-taker twelve hours ago.
This is the sequence that matters. Thursday: Geneva collapses. Thursday: Trump says “sometimes you have to.” Thursday: Rubio designates Iran for wrongful detention. Thursday: State Department tweets Trump calling Iran “very dangerous and difficult people.” Thursday: fifteen countries tell citizens to evacuate Iran. Thursday: Beijing tells its nationals to leave immediately. Thursday: Ambassador Huckabee tells embassy staff to leave Israel today.
All on the same day.
The Oman channel claims a breakthrough. Iran allegedly agreed to dilute its bomb-grade uranium. But Trump did not speak like a man who just received good news from mediators. He spoke like a man building public consent for what he has already decided. “I’d rather do it the peaceful way” is not the language of peace. It is the pre-positioning of the narrative that peace was attempted and failed. Every American president who has ordered strikes in the modern era delivered some version of this sentence first. We tried diplomacy. They left us no choice.
Meanwhile the military reality has not paused for speeches. Two carrier strike groups. 150 plus aircraft. Eleven F-22s in Israel for the first time ever. Al Udeid emptied to zero tankers. The strike architecture is built, positioned, and defended. What was missing was the political predicate.
Rubio just built it. Trump just narrated it. The State Department just amplified it.
Vienna opens Monday. Rubio lands in Jerusalem the same day. If those talks produce anything less than complete Iranian capitulation on enrichment, the administration has now constructed every legal, political, diplomatic, and military prerequisite for strikes.
They told you what they are going to do. In three statements on a single Thursday. The only question left is whether you are reading the words or just hearing them.????????????????

CHINA SENDING ATTACK DRONES TO IRAN AND DISCUSSING MISSILE SALES AS U.S. STRIKES LOOM
Beijing has reportedly delivered kamikaze drones and continues supplying air defense systems to Tehran, according to three officials.
They're also in talks over CM-302 anti-ship cruise missiles that could target U.S. vessels in the Arabian Sea and the DF-17 hypersonic glide missile that can evade air defenses.
Both Arab officials told MEE that Beijing informed their governments of the deliveries.
That's a message: China is showing it will stand by Iran if this goes kinetic.
Iran's air defenses were decimated in the 12-day war last June.
Russia is too busy in Ukraine to help much.
China is filling the gap with drones, missiles, and a warning to Washington about what a prolonged conflict might look like.
Trump is supposed to meet Xi in late March.
Beijing is arming his target while planning to shake his hand.

The wold is about to learn we will be using decade/decades old tech to totally destroy them, and anything they have. They are not even close to us!!! Even China!! Same as all the gulf wars, and every other since the 90s.

Over the last couple of hours, at least 11 C-17A Globemaster llls and a C-5M Super Galaxy have departed bases in the Middle East returning to Europe, with, for the first time in several weeks, no military cargo flights currently bound for the Middle East from airbases in Europe. This follows a message seen earlier today over ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) from the U.S. Air Force’s Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC) located at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, directed at several C-17s heading to King Abdullah II Air Base in Jordan and other locations in the Middle East, which stated “PLEASE MINIMIZE GND TIME. I CANNOT PASS ANYMORE INFO AT THIS TIME.”

Israel launched a series of missile attacks on Iran on Saturday morning.
Israel Katz, the Israeli Defense Minister, announcement that the country is under a state of emergency as thick smoke rose from an explosion in downtown Tehran.
Iranian state media reported explosions going off in their capital city.
The IDF launched the surprise attack before warning its own citizens to prepare to take cover if the Iranians fight back, with sirens already being heard across Israel.
According to the Jerusalem Post, the IDF said in a national warning: 'This is a proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the State of Israel.' This is a breaking news story.

The Mullahs in Iran and Suleimani are responsible for 1000's of American deaths, at least 3 of my brothers/close friends. They deserve (responsibly, in terms of peripheral casualties) EVERYTHING that is coming to them.
I only lament the fact that we are so tied in with Israel in this operation/target. Because they are equally (a minimally smaller-scale) responsible for American casualties in terms of death and shenanigans overall.

I feel like with this much warning all the senior level VIPs have been evacuated, so that if we did strike it wouldn’t really be effective other than destroying infrastructure.

I want this thread back. The other one is retarded.
