Crossroads

"Post on another thread says that Iran has hit one of our Tankers."

If so, they can kiss their navy goodbye and all their port facilities.

"In the coming hours, Trump will sign an order to join the war."

For sure.... if the Iranians are closing the Strait Of Hormuz.

Maybe that 12th guy is gonna come out of the well, huh?

"China now encouraging Chinese citizens to leave Tel Aviv “as soon as possible”."

There may be fears about a radiation release/leak too.

As completely and thoroughly as the Israelis plan and implement things, you just know that this possibility was not overlooked or not planned for.

It's just that us armchair generals have no idea what's going on. Ha, Ha!

"Hoping it’s hyperbole."

I believe it is.

Trump wants to end this through negotating and preserve his 'I don't start wars' posture.

I still remember 444 days!

"I would guess that the leaders of Iran, Hezbollah,and HAMAS thought it was a good idea to do oct.7,,,quite different .. "

I don't believe any of those folks are still alive.

Israel does not have the big planes capable of carrying the big bunker buster bombs. I think the Iranian Fordow site is so deep that the Israelis cannot get down to it. I've read that except for surface features that it is still largely unaffected by the bombing.

A propane generator is the only way to go.

Hey friend, it’s been a while. I don’t make it to FR as often as I once did. Sounds like you’ve been doing okay and I’m glad to know that.

Anyway, I was attracted to this thread when I saw ‘sleeper cells’ in the title. Iran has threatened to unleash their sleeper cells in this country if their nuclear facilities are attacked by anyone. They have claimed that they have to ability to ‘turn out the lights’ nation wide in the USA using their sleeper cells.

I’m prepared for that.

Good luck with your plans.

On The Presence Of Non-Chinese At Anyang

"Back when a Buck was worth a Buck!"

"A Nickle!"

A Coke was five cents also and gasoline was 19 cents a gallon.

I was there and saw it.

I remember my dad coming home in his new 1951 Chevrolet pick-up truck.

He was so proud of that truck. He Kept it forever.

Excellent news.

YUP.

They'll get it right eventually.

I'll probably be dead by then though.

"Don’t forget Jasmine Crockett."

I don't think so.

I think everyone is already tired of vulgar, loud mouthed black woman yelling and attacking people all the time.

And, without a black female on board!

Amazing!
