Nice, we haven't gotten a good social media threat in a while. Looks like his feed lately has mostly been about the reflecting pool and then the China trip



April 8th (Truth Social): "If for any reason it [supposed deal] is not, which is highly unlikely, then the “Shootin’ Starts,” bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before."

April 9th (Truth Social): "There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!"

April 9th (Truth Social): "Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!"

April 12th (Truth Social): "Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! ... Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!

April 17th (Truth Social): "THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS AND FULL PASSAGE"

April 17th (Truth Social): "Iran, with the help of the U.S.A., has removed, or is removing, all sea mines!"

April 17th (Truth Social): "Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World!"

April 19th (Truth Social): "Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! ... We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!"

April 21st (Truth Social): "Iran has Violated the Cease Fire numerous times!"

April 21st (Truth Social): "People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!"

April 28th (Truth Social): "Iran has just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hormuz Strait,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation"

April 29th (Truth Social): "Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!" (includes AI image of President with a rifle titled 'No More Mr. Nice Guy')

May 3rd (Truth Social): "For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business. ... If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully. "

May 4th (Truth Social): "Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship"

May 5th (Truth Social): "Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed."

May 6th (Truth Social): "If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before."

May 7th (Truth Social): "we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!"

May 17th (Truth Social): "For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!"

This was just broadcasted over radio to Iran: "Wound my heart with a monotonous languor."

36 hours from the initial post

Don't anticipate anything as all assets are in place, targets identified, Xi in a rear view mirror, DJT/Bibi on same page. Will be similar to the incursion before - better intelligence and was pretty darn impressive last time.

Iran will respond and how it fares will determine the scope and intensity going forward by the US/Israel/GS

Are you asking if the UAE would retaliate with nuclear weapons if they had any?

That's exactly what I'm asking. If damage had been done to that nuclear plant so as to cause a radiation leak or any serious collateral damage, injuries or death, I believe UAE would respond strongly. I suspect even nuclear response.

I hope you didn’t waste your time compiling all of that and copied it from another source.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm not aware that UAE possesses any nuclear weapons, and I don't think that their military is very powerful. I have heard that they have the closest relationship with Israel of any Arab / Muslim country, and Israel does possess nuclear weapons. Maybe Israel would help them with retaliation.

Pakistan possesses nuclear weapons, but they have so far restrained themselves from using any, even though they are perpetually in conflict with India, and now Afghanistan.

I don't know nothing about birthing no babies, and less about nuclear power plants, but I don't think a nuclear dust cloud over the Straights of Hormuz would benefit anyone in the area.

Iran has already said they will retaliate by hitting oil and gas assets and infrastructure in Israel, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

They say a lot of stuff. As far as hitting anything, they would be more correct to say “We are going to send stuff in the general vicinity of those assets and hopefully, maybe, we get lucky somehow.”

We’ll see. How is this go around going to change anything?

I’m hopeful, but an only aerial assault on a mountainous country seems futile.

I am sure they already know where the caves hiding Iranaian weapons are located. They will bombard but I believe they will send in troops to destroy anything that can't be destroyed by air. You blow up all major roads, bridges and rail lines leading to the souhtnern coast. You cut the Iranians in the area off and allow no reinforcements and then they either surrender or go visit Allah in hell.

I just told my wife "at Pakistan's request, I'm not going to mow the lawn this weekend."

Read what I wrote.

Anyone think if these crazy people in the middle east, any country, had nuclear weapons they wouldn't hesitate to use against the world anytime, anywhere?

Maybe we'll get more testimonials about the discombobulator in action again? I hope so.
