you should have attributed the long story to Al-Jazerra at the beginning. Would have saved my useless reading file.

I’d never thought I’d say this, but Trump can’t get out of office soon enough.

Would you rather have Kameltoe, Hillary, Bernie, Hakeem, Talifreako, and any of their kind as President instead??? Think about what you just said.


Your football coach promised wins, but your team is getting run out by Texas State. Your response is “wull whut if we had Chad Morris?”

There’s always the option of your coach coaching better, and getting run by Texas State is worthy of criticism from the people who hired the coach.

I think it’s very clear now, between Trump’s post about Iran and basically any other issue, that he will just lie or make up anything to attempt to back the other party into a corner. Unfortunately for him, this isn’t a random business deal where that tactic is likely to work and Iran is way too savvy of an adversary to fall for that nonsense.

senior Quds Force commanders held online conference calls with Hezbollah, Houthis and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, along with commanders and advisers working with the militias on the ground


Hmmm. At at the same time, Yemen is quiet as a church mouse, Hamas is laying down weapons, and hezzie is meeting with Israel for the first time in three decades. But yeah they are rousing the militias

I say again, Bessent cut their nuts off financially. Now that those "terrorists" cant make the payments on the Porsche, the penthouse in Miami, or the french wine and cheeses, suddenly they wanna talk, or quit.

I do think it’s interesting that he is now including Israel as a partner to attack. Why did you wait? I mean adding them adds pressure to the GCC. They all know what adding Israel means… it’s the honey badger that won’t stop.

Everyone - except for his cult-like following - has to admit this is a complete and utter failure. Trump is a joke.

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim Iran agreed to end its nuclear program and open the Strait of Hormuz as a "complete lie," saying it is a "desperate attempt to manipulate the market," per Iranian military officials to Mehr News. Iran adds that it has not requested any halt to the planned attacks, and that it was purely Trump who chose to stop them with false claims of a deal.


In normal times I’d say this is very much Iranian propaganda but sadly I believe this is more likely to be the case than not.

Israeli Channel 12 reports that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi agreed overnight to a U.S.- and Qatari-mediated proposal aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with the reported breakthrough said to be one factor behind President Trump’s decision to cancel planned strikes on Iran.

Under the reported proposal, inbound vessels would transit through Iranian territorial waters, while outbound traffic would use Omani waters. Qatari mediators are reportedly continuing talks to secure the IRGC’s approval.

However, Fars News Agency has denied the report, calling it false and stating that Iran’s policy regarding the Strait of Hormuz remains unchanged.

The strait appears to remain closed for the time being.

The closer we get to the midterms and this thing is not resolved, the political noose tightens. The IRGC will do everything in their power to cause the price of oil to skyrocket, thus hurting the overall economy. They know that people don't like paying a high price for gas and that with inflation still very high, more and more people are going to put pressure on Trump and the GOP for the war to end. The IRGC knows it can't beat us militarily, but it can win the public perception war, and the longer Trump fumbles about, the better it looks for them in the end.

Trump's indecisiveness has only emboldened them and I will not be surprised to see them attack ships and bases again, as soon as this week. What do they have to fear? At this point we have shown them that all we will do is bomb out the same blasted out sand pits we previously created.

If we threaten to conduct major strikes, they don't take those threats seriously as we have pulled back every time in recent memory. And if it does look like things may get serious, just call up one of their muzzie buddies on speed dial, particularly the Emir of Qatar, to contact Trump and convince him to not go forward.

These people only respect power and the prospect of an opponent destroying them as a reality. In their eyes, Trump has only projected weakness and a lack of will to use the tools at his disposal to destroy them. Even in the midst of a new "reprieve" they are already spitting in his face publicly.

Nope. And that's the problem. They are all such cowards that they will never stand up to true evil or the enemies of everything and every freedom we enjoy here. Heck, all of those people are actively trying to take away those freedoms from within. And YOU support them.


Stand up to true evil . . . by allying with the house of Saud and Qatar. Do you really think the government of Iran is more evil than that of Saudi or Qatar? Or that rank and file Iranians are more evil than Saudi’s or Qatari’s?

The Iranian government is terrible. I hope it falls.

But i’m never voting for putting American troops at risk for a Muslim king or monarch again. They are all assbackwards people. Some have money. Some don’t. That’s the only difference here.

They will target ships transiting the SOH, launch ballistic missiles at Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Jordan and anyone else they feel they can reach to keep jabbing Trump in the eye.

Then they will sit back an laugh as Trump threatens to wipe them out, only for one of the many goat fricking muzzie warlords in the ME to call Trump to get him to back off.

Something is going on with Trump. He has to see how this makes him look like a crazy person. At this point it may be better just to go home.
