I cannot see Trump passing on this to use as justification to permanently remove the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Program.


I can. You don’t think the Iranians have prepped? Best to do that bombing at a time of our choosing. Economic sanctions make some sense here. Best to be unpredictable.

Iran had to respond to save face with their fanatics. It is less than a pin prick response. I’d just leave it be with no military respond other than Trump laughing his ass off at the ineptitude. Iran wants financial market melt downs so d-bag Dems can blame Trump / Redumblicans

Iran is warning that if there is retaliation for the two waves of attacks they launched their 3rd wave will destroy Dubai and Haifa.

I do know back in the 1980s, they’d scare us with WWIII simulations where Iran was the start of everything.

We were doing simulations on that scenario in the mid and late 1960’s with Iran being the lynch pin.

If There are no casualties, it may be that Iran is just looking for a propaganda plus among its own people.

The Iranians will have bused women and children to likely target sites hoping we will attack them. To the Iranians it’s all about propaganda.

Vice President Mike Pence briefed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Armed Services Chairman Sen. Jim Inhofe about the attack, according to CNN. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper arrived at the White House after the attack.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed on the attack during a meeting with Democrats on Tuesday, according to CNN. Rep. Debbie Dingell stated that Pelosi told members of the meeting, “pray.”

I think the Trump Doctrine of blood for blood, no blood for no blood means we don’t respond much.

Unless an American got hurt, in which case we will respond in an overwhelming way.

“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in its Telegram channel that, in the event Iranian soil is bombed, it will target the cities of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Haifa, Israel, in the third wave of operations.”

Does the UAE have any military capability? And what will be the response of Israel?

Iran leaders know they are done. The question is how much of their country is destroyed in the process. We won’t need ground troops but we must not allow those leaders responsible to escape the damage.

This is a dictatorship. It was badly shaken by the liquidation of its key figure. They aren’t invulnerable.

Where are the Nazis and the Soviets?

BTW, thanks for all of your posts on FR over the years :-) ... I look forward to many more :-).

You're welcome. BTW, the reason why I haven't done any videos for the past few days was due to a family medical situation. Fortunately it seems to be resolved for now so perhaps I'll be back on the YouTube grind by tomorrow or the next day.

Can’t trust those pesky Iranians, might have sleeper cells in D.C.” They have thousands of them...they’re called Democrats

Hope someone is monitoring The Squad's communications.
