Report was Trump was caught off guard by this and had told Israel not to attack Iran but they did it anyway. Then Trump Truth Socials "Iran you need to deal now or more will come." Great plan idiot. Put us right in the crosshairs of this garbage. He's an idiot. But at this point the MAGA mooks will never call him on anything because they think he is an alpha male and they want to worship him like the true weak simps they are. They deserve this nonsense going on. Politicians lie, and that is what they are doing.

Even if he did know- and really that is not the crux of my argument- there is no need to try and strongarm and make this "US and Israel against Iran." Let the two of them figure out.

Maximum Overkill 1,884 Posted Friday at 03:26 PM President Trump told CNN that “we of course support Israel,” and called the strikes “a very successful attack.” He urged Iran to limit its nuclear activities “before it will be too late for them.” President Emmanuel Macron of France, who has recently sparred with Israel over its ongoing war in Gaza and the limiting of humanitarian aid to hungry and desperate Palestinians , said Israel has a “right to protect itself and ensure its security.” Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said Iran has refused to abide by agreements to limit its nuclear program and added that Tehran “poses a serious threat to the entire region, especially to the State of Israel.” Daniel B. Shapiro, who was a deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East during the Biden administration, said the fact the United States did not participate in the attack “does not mean the United States won’t assist in Israel’s defense. It will.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've got nothing yet and now he is basically saying "Well Israel will keep coming," which tacitly is supporting Israel in this and ignores the fact that Iran will probably just move the next leaders right into place.

Rubio emphasized these were unilateral Israeli operations with no direct U.S. military involvement . Officials have made it clear that the U.S. will not participate in offensive operations against Iran, including bombing or coordinated kinetic actions .

We'll see. I put the odds at 50/50 that Iran turns out to be similar to Iraq when we went to "war" with them and Saddam. Turned out their military was a joke. And Israel purposely went after a bunch of their military infrastructure last night to minimize their ability to respond. I mean, they sent 100 drones to try to retaliate. Maybe they have more than that at their disposal. Maybe they don't....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump last night: Quote I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to “just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All! Trump today AFTER Rubio's comments: Quote "“We gave them a chance and they didn’t take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit. And there’s more to come. A lot more.” None of this is staying out of it. It's okay to call this out even if you worship the man and defend everything he does.

kilroy69 1,235 Posted Friday at 05:08 PM There is a way around all of this. Iran can accept the thorium reactor offer. If they are NOT trying to build a bomb and really want it for energy that is the way for them to save face. Realistically they want to become a nuclear power so they can be the ones to wipe Israel off the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Iranian regime only cares about staying in power. A full blown war would jeopardize that. They'll send drones and saber-rattle just to save face, but they'll never go to war until the regime's very existence is threatened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
