It's a ok to Nuke Tel Aviv, Gman, it's full of muslim terrorists hating jews...
Netanyahu said the strikes would continue for as long as it would take “to remove this threat.”

VIENNA (AP) — Iran said it has built and will activate a third nuclear enrichment facility, ratcheting up tensions with the U.N. on Thursday immediately after its atomic watchdog agency censured Iran for failing to comply with nonproliferation obligations meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.
Hours later, Israel said it had attacked Iranian nuclear targets. As explosions were heard across Tehran early Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes would continue for as long as it would take “to remove this threat.”
The censure by the International Atomic Energy Agency, its first in 20 years over Iranian non-compliance, could set in motion an effort to restore sanctions on Iran later this year.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has no choice but to respond to this political resolution,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry and Atomic Energy Organization said in a joint statement i

The left has done a good job of setting up wars in Ukraine v Russia and Iran v Israel then forcing the right to take a side when the correct answer is all involved are bad and none should have the concern of the US in terms of financial or physical support.

I miss Saddam.
If he, or by this time, some other Ba?th Party dictator was still in Iraq, we would be out of the Middle East and they would be fighting amongst themselves. Wouldn’t be our problem and we would probably be energy independent.

Correct but instead of saying they have them they don’t make that promise they just say they are close and they never have to define what close is. This is the problem is the US government wants blind trust but they haven’t done anything in 80 years to have blind trust from the citizens

Iran has supposedly been six months away from a nuclear weapon since 2001.
Yet here we are—falling for the same war machine propaganda all over again.
It’s astonishing how quickly people are willing to send young men to die in foreign lands, generation after generation, without ever asking why.
The truth is, this cycle isn’t new. We’ve been here before—again and again. Each time, we’re fed a simplified narrative, a convenient villain, and a justification that falls apart after the damage is done.
Here are just a few examples:
?
1. The Lusitania – World War I
What we were told: Germany committed an act of barbarism by sinking the RMS Lusitania, a British passenger liner, killing 1,198 civilians, including 128 Americans. The outrage helped push the U.S. closer to war with Germany.
What really happened: The Lusitania was secretly carrying over 4 million rounds of rifle ammunition and artillery shells—a violation of its status as a non-military vessel. The U.S. and British governments were aware of this. Germany had even taken out ads in American newspapers warning passengers not to board the ship because it was considered a legitimate military target. British intelligence manipulated the narrative, and U.S. officials exploited the incident to stoke pro-war sentiment.
?
2. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident – Vietnam War
What we were told: On August 4, 1964, North Vietnamese torpedo boats launched an unprovoked attack on two U.S. Navy destroyers, the USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy, in the Gulf of Tonkin. This justified immediate military escalation in Vietnam.
What really happened: The second attack never occurred. Radar blips and phantom contacts were misinterpreted—or deliberately exaggerated—by military and political leaders. President Lyndon B. Johnson used the event to push through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, granting him sweeping war powers without a formal declaration. Declassified documents later revealed that the U.S. was already conducting covert operations against North Vietnam and had provoked the initial engagement.
?
3. Weapons of Mass Destruction – Iraq War (2003)
What we were told: Saddam Hussein possessed a massive arsenal of chemical, biological, and possibly nuclear weapons. He was an imminent threat to the U.S. and the world.
What really happened: No WMDs were ever found. The Bush administration cherry-picked intelligence, pressured analysts, and leaned on discredited sources (like “Curveball”) to paint a picture of danger that didn’t exist. Colin Powell’s infamous 2003 speech at the UN—complete with vials of fake anthrax and satellite images—was later revealed to be based on false or flimsy evidence. The U.S. media amplified the fear, and the public bought it. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost in a war built on a lie.
?
4. The Anthrax Attacks – Post-9/11
What we were told: Just weeks after 9/11, anonymous anthrax-laced letters were mailed to journalists and senators. The government hinted that Iraq or Al-Qaeda might be behind it, further linking Saddam Hussein to terrorism.
What really happened: The anthrax was domestically produced and traced back to a U.S. biodefense lab. The FBI eventually identified Dr. Bruce Ivins, a government scientist, as the likely source. But by the time that conclusion came years later, the anthrax panic had already been used to build momentum for invading Iraq and passing the Patriot Act. The public was manipulated while fear was monetized and weaponized.
?
5. The “War on Terror” – Post-9/11 Global War
What we were told: The U.S. had to launch a global “War on Terror” to prevent future attacks. Anyone against it was unpatriotic or soft on terrorism.
What really happened: The term “War on Terror” was intentionally vague, allowing the U.S. to target nearly any group, anywhere, for any reason. Afghanistan had a clear link to Al-Qaeda, but that war quickly expanded into nation-building. Iraq had no connection to 9/11, yet it was invaded anyway. Surveillance powers were expanded at home. Civil liberties were rolled back. Trillions were spent, thousands of Americans died, and millions of civilians across the Middle East were displaced or killed—all while defense contractors posted record profits.
?
6. The USS Maine – Spanish-American War (1898)
What we were told: Spain blew up the USS Maine in Havana Harbor, killing 260 American sailors. “Remember the Maine!” became the battle cry for war with Spain.
What really happened: There was no conclusive evidence that Spain had anything to do with the explosion. Decades later, an official U.S. Navy inquiry found the explosion likely originated from within the ship itself, probably due to a coal bunker fire igniting ammunition. But at the time, newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer used yellow journalism to inflame public outrage and demand war. The result was the Spanish-American War, during which the U.S. seized control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
?
7. Operation Northwoods – 1962 (Never Executed)
What it was: A top-secret proposal drafted by the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Operation Northwoods suggested staging false-flag attacks—including hijackings, bombings, and fake civilian casualties—on U.S. soil and blaming them on Cuba.
Why it matters: Though the plan was never carried out (President Kennedy rejected it), its existence proves that high-ranking officials were willing to manufacture a pretext for war. It’s a documented case of the government actively considering deception against its own people in order to justify military action.
?
The lesson is simple:
The first casualty of war is truth. The second is trust.
And somehow, we keep lining up to believe the next lie.
