This is great news because it will only take them 5 to 7 days from now and by then...

Well ok, by then there will be zero targets.

1. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)
2. Anti-Semitism
3. All of the Above

How about a love for our country and valuing the lives of every service member.

Why would we get involved in something that has nothing to do with us? It is halfway across the world and we have our own oil. We don't need that oil.

We are risking the lives of our service members. Many are young and are the best and bravest.

And we love the constitution. Don't you love the constitution? Trump can't unilaterally declare war. Congress should vote on it. We the people should have a voice in the decisions. Only congress and declare war. The orange man is bad but he is not king.

Well if you made it this far and read that last line was that too much? Trying to sound like a moron liberal but maybe went to far.

I think the liberals are now referring to him as orange man. Not sure.

In truth, I think the majority of those against the bombings are misinformed by the msm. There are a great many people who get their news from the traditional news sites.

Oh my goodness, I forget to mention that he dragged us into another forever war.

All of these are crap, but to the minimally informed it can play.

As Carlin I think used to say, you know how stupid the average person is? 50 percent of the people are dumber than that.

While truly hilarious and real, this happened during the previous Israel 12 day war with iran.

But this time we have killed their supreme leader so this one is better.

What did trump tell the people of Iran to stop?

He told them to stay sheltered.

He told them to come out after the bombing is finished.

People like you are why this country is f*cked. We don’t need any more military action for Israel’s benefit. Let them fight their own wars.

We aren't the only country here. We are part of a greater globe.

Iran having nuclear weapons is dangerous to everyone, including Russia and China.

Iran has been directing terrorist proxies across the globe for decades.

Imagine if those terrorists had nuclear weapons.

Imagine if Iran had 20,000 missiles and 1000 launchers. And they then decided to make nuclear weapons. Those missiles could overcome any defensive system and the results would've been awful. So bad at that point that they would be protected from stopping nuclear enrichment.

That country can't have nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles. If we wait too long they will have both. And that doesn't just frick Israel, it fricks the world.

This is not Israel's problem alone. This is the entire world's problem.

Nope. We bombed iran for the long term safety of our troops in the region.

By getting rid of Iran, you get rid of their proxies.

I'm not sure if you are a Palestinian bro, a hamas bro, a Maduro bro or whatever leftist or if you are a panican.

This is a solid plan long term. Will it definitely work? No. But trump plays to win, not to not lose.

re: What Can We Expect Of The Stock Market & The Price Of Oil Today?

Posted by thetempleowl on 3/2/26 at 6:45 am to RCDfan1950

Since the united states and Israel are kicking arse so totally, stock market shouldn't be down much if at all.

If the news was real, I don't think the stock market would be down at all.

Iran isn't much more of a problem them their proxies were because of the anti missle and drone stuff over there.

Once everyone realizes this will improve regional stability, I suspect a quick bump.

Is the bad leader you know always better than the future bad leader that you dont ?

No. I mean we get rid of this one and I'd everything goes wrong and we get the worst case scenario we end up with a brutal regime that kills teens of thousands of its citizens to stay in power, wants to build nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

They also could expert terrorism throughout the area and destabilize the entire Middle East...

Oh, we have that already.

These are not stand Arabs. These are Persians.

They want a sectarian government like they used to have. They had that before this brutal regime came into power.

A pert vacuum only exists if all organization of government is gotten rid of. If the igrc is gone there Iranian military is fine enough.

This was a chance that Trump had to take.

This is a weak take.

Even you don't believe this.

At least 35 years of bad foreign policy has set the world on fire.

Trump is putting the fires out.

There will be peace in the middle east.

Venezuela and Cuba will be free. Panama has gotten rid of China.

The world is healing.

This is the answer.

As far as cost goes, this is a cost saving endeavor.

Iran has destabilized that area for decades.

The majority of the other Arab countries and Israel are finally on the same page here. We can have peace in the middle east.

The world will look tremendously different in another couple of months.

Venezuela down.

Iran down.

Cuba will be next though without us doing anything militarily.

All the countries will join the right side of history and will prosper.

Peace will be present in the middle east finally.

My goodness, it is literally amazing what the world is looking like.

From a world in fire under biden, Trump has changed the planet and has set a path for success. Literally amazing.

re: Iran Has Zero Incentives to Make a Deal Over the Next “10 Days” - Who Can Blame Them

Posted by thetempleowl on 2/21/26 at 8:48 am to RFK

quote:
Trump unilaterally breaks the 2015 nuclear deal and subsequently imposes massive sanctions.

They knew the deal they made with Obama would not last because it was a really bad deal for any country not named Iran.

quote:
Sanctions eventually lead to severe civil unrest, resulting in the 2026 protests.

And? That's kinda the point to the sanctions. If you want the sanctions to end, make a deal.

quote:
Trump gave the green light for Israel to attack Iran amid ongoing nuclear talks, and then bombs Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Iran was not willing to make a deal.

quote:
Protesters take to the streets in January 2026 and Trump encourages them to topple the regime and promised U.S. military support to this goal.

I have little doubt there has been covert help. And unless the current government plays let's make a deal there may well be overt help.

quote:
Trump then demands a new nuclear deal.

I mean your order is all screwed up. He demanded a new deal before he got out of the shitty Obama deal.

quote:
Iran has zero trust in the U.S.

Kinda strange. I say the opposite. Trump does what he says. Make a deal or you will be bombed. What do you think? Do they trust that?

quote:
Tehran also knows it benefits from a long-term war

Honestly your ideas are just wrong. No one benefits from a long term war.

But more so, the current regime is holding on by a thread. The irgc is keeping them in power. When they are weakened and leave, the current regime will fall.

They really are not in a good place.

quote:
Trump is bluffing and the Iranians know it.

That is where you are wrong.

Trump doesn't really bluff about this. He hates ordering strikes that will kill people. He much prefers making deals.

And yes, the current regime is used to blistering from democratic presidents.

But they should see that Trump is different. He will make a deal and let you pretend like you won. He doesn't care. But if you don't make a deal he usually has lots of levers to pull.

With iran, he only had one more lever. And they know what it is. They know this isn't a bluff. They are unsure of what to do. Trump will make up their mind if they don't.

Doesn't democratic basically mean fiscal mismanagement?

So i guess democratic is redundant...

Albany can raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and the most profitable corporations and address the fiscal imbalance between our city and state.

So let's see. You want to tax the successful among the state to address the fiscal imbalance caused by years of fiscal mismanagement.

Yeah, I know how that games is played. The fiscal mismanagement escalates and you end up with a deficit again.

And then you raise taxes on the people already paying the majority of the taxes.
