thegeneral 1,428 Posted April 19 5 minutes ago, Gepetto said: 11min ago Iran space agency says several drones ‘successfully shot down,’ adds ‘no missile attack for now’ By AFP TEHRAN, Iran — Iran says it shot down several drones and that there had been “no missile attack for now” on the country, after explosions were heard near the central city of Isfahan. Several drones “have been successfully shot down by the country’s air defense, there are no reports of a missile attack for now,” Iran’s space agency spokesman Hossein Dalirian says on X. The Fars news agency said “three explosions” were heard near the Shekari army airbase near Isfahan. Hopefully reports like this keep coming out. A “mild” response and these two can deescalate.

Strike 3,995 Posted April 19 7 minutes ago, Pimpadeaux said: Yeah, when gas-pump prices skyrocketed in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, and MAGAturds, in all their glory of being unable to grasp simple supply-and-demand economics, blamed Biden, who opened the reserves to bring down gas prices, which actually happened, and then MAGAturds whined about and continue to whine about the level in the reserves, even though Clownzo authorized a release from the reserves. Prove me wrong. Wat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pimpadeaux 2,274 Posted April 19 19 minutes ago, Strike said: Wat? I have a prediction for you and other ignorant MAGAturds. Gas prices potentially could skyrocket soon due to a number of factors, and here are some thoughts on that. 1.) If we don't give Ukraine aid and the Russians start to roll. 2.) If Israel and Iran get into a serious war. 3.) Summer travel season, more demand and decreased supply on the world market. 4.) Clownzo says none of this would have happened, other than summer travel season, on his watch, because it's easier said than done, which is the way he is. 5.) Biden releases more from the stratetic reserves, gas prices come down but MAGAturds b!tch about the strategic reserves being down. Use your words next time.

5-Points 2,736 Posted April 19 6 hours ago, thegeneral said: The only way they “don’t” is if we bomb Iran or stop giving Israel aide. Which are you signing up for? Of these two options I’d go bomb Iran I suppose but that long term isn’t going to work and people would be shitting their pants. There’s no good answer here, the region is a shitshow. Iran has been a problem since the islamic revolution in '79. That is not going to change until somebody puts an end to their reign of terror. The question is, do we step up to the plate before or after they nuke Isreal? And let's not kid ourselves, Isreal may be their first priority but they certainly won't be the last. What I do know is we shouldn't send them anymore pallets of cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cdub100 3,389 Posted April 19 If there's anything that conservatives like Rusty love it's proxy wars. It's the Bush, Cheney, McCain, Romney way. They used to attack liberals and call them traitors, un-American, freedom haters. Since these RINOs are more liberal (other than the war-mongering) they attack Trump and give Biden a pass for some reason. Gotta support the flavor of the month Israel, Ukraine, and Tawain.
