Let's say you, for instance, are an Iranian spy. Where is the best way to drum up support for your cause? Certainly, social media has to be in the top 5.
What do you think I have said that would benefit Iran?
Also, what a despicable thing to say to another poster. My late father fought with distinction in the last constitutional war we had.

Wait.... with all of the US sanctions and considering that Iran has already attacked the UAE, why the frick would they be suspending trade with Iran now??
Shouldn't this have already occurred???

"Who do you think is supporting Iran here?"
there are several posters here who's hatred for the Trump administration crosses the line from general disapproval of "everything" to, in the case of the Iran conflict, downright investment in the success of Iran and the failure of the US (in order to make OMB look bad).
It shouldn't be hard for you to figure out who these users are. Some have come and gone through the process. Others appear long term posters here, I'm sure you're familiar with "their work".
It's a subtle line, I appreciate. TDS has blurred it for them in the case of Iran.

Shouldn't this have ALREADY happened?
Iran has shot missles to everyone of those countries already!

Calm down son... re-read. I didn't say what you implied I did. I will repeat it...again.

Hypothetically, with our country as open as it is, what's to stop someone from aiding the enemy? Let's say you, for instance, are an Iranian spy. Where is the best way to drum up support for your cause? Certainly, social media has to be in the top 5.
Again, I'm simply stating it is too easy for enemy proxies to live in this great country, awaiting a time to sabotage what we hold dear. You asked, I answered.
Discernment is a gift God has given us all... and it is at the very least, what we owe our men & women, fighting on the other side of the world for our way of life.

Spare me the condescending lecture. You knew what you were doing.

HELP ME UNDERSTAND.
Iran has attacked the UAE multiple times over the last six months, with the most significant wave occurring between February 28 and April 8, 2026, when it launched approximately 3,000 projectiles. This initial phase involved 550 ballistic missiles, 29 cruise missiles, and more than 2,200 drones, making the UAE the most-targeted country in the region during that period.
So they JUST NOW decide to do this? Don't understand.

Don't ask any questions.
UAE likely faced intense pressure from the US that finally outweighed the risk of Iranian attacks

They have a new respect for deals and negotiations. You team up with the strongest partners or you become their competitor. Do not become their competitor at all costs.

They were dealing Iran hug amounts of oil WHILE Iran was bombing their country. Makes a lot of sense.

Yep, that was their life line. Rope has been cut.

What version of Trump is this?
This is the Joe Biden version of trump. He gave them 60 days and then nothing happened. So now he just says " Don't. Don't". 30 days ago everybody was saying, just watch Iran will be out of money. So..... 30 days from now we will be in the same situation as we are right now.
