“Death to America”, huh?

We have a playbook that works for people that preach this. Maybe they should rethink their position.

You're looking at the wrong numbers. Venezuela and Iran send about 70-80% of their oil to china.

Yep.

China imports substantial, often under-reported, volumes from Iran (sometimes disguised as Malaysian origin) and Venezuela.


Or they did, before we put a stop to it over the last few months. What we have done here is made them wholly dependent on on Russia, US ally Saudi Arabia, and de facto US-controlled Iraq. If they want to get frisky with Taiwan, they will be wholly dependent on Russia, and vulnerable pipelines.

These few months will go down in history as one of the greatest geopolitical power moves of our time. The end result remains to be seen, but anyone with even a remote awareness of how the world works understands it. They don't have to like it.

It started when the CIA removed Mossadegh in 1953.

The President or his proxies haven't explained the end game, except to urge Iranian citizens to take control of their government. Unarmed citizens elated at events will be up against the IRGC and others who recently killed tens of thousands of protesters.

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, essentially all regime change justified at the time, didn't turn out as predicted.

The administration has not made the case on how this regime change military operation ends favorably to our and our allies long term interest.

Destruction of their nuclear enrichment capability was already accomplished. Restarting that is not a short term project.

Exactly this. The retards sky screaming about this are acting like Trump has a “bomb X” button for every country on earth in his office and woke up yesterday morning and just decided to hit the Iran one for fun.

Fact is, this was a highly precise operation that both destabilized an evil, authoritarian regime that needed to be ended AND put a major dent in China’s ability to make moves.

China imports 10-12% of their oil from Iran

China imports 4% of their oil from Venezuela

From Venezuela and Iran we know based on how many ships leave port.

China will lose some cheaper oil but will just shift their purchasing. Their saving amounts to 10-15% on <10% of their crude.

Three American service members have been killed. LINK

Three American service members have been killed and five have been seriously wounded in military operations targeting Iran, the U.S. military said.

They are the first reported American casualties since the U.S. and Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran.


Prayers for their families.

That school bomb hit was determined to be a failed Iranian missile launch. Our guidance systems are far too sophisticated to inadvertently strike civilian targets. Tightly coupled mil spec GPS/INS and some equipped with terrain mapping data base guidance.

The Anti-America crowd won’t like that if it’s true.
