Now we know one of the reasons Trump sent Ukraine’s anti drone missiles to the Middle East. I think they will be sent to Israel if not already.
What is preventing Pakistan, Russia, North Korea, etc. from giving Iran a nuclear weapon. These are some crazy times.
They don't want Iran to have one either. The govts of many of those countries (ones in that area anyway) will talk the anti-Israel stuff but actually want Iran kept in check I think. China it's hard to say but they don't appear to be assisting them as far as I know. As far as Iran striking back at the US I think in the short term our biggest threat is if Iran has sleeper cells here in the US that can pull off a terrorist attack.
He is a clown that posts satire mixed with propaganda. He also showed "video" of the Iranian response. It was a paper plane super imposed against the Tehran background. He is a total tool....
You mean like having Iranians here now trying to assassinate President Trump, Mike Pompeo, and John Bolton. The US has been living on high alert insofar as Iran is concerned.
Interestingly even though Pompeo and Bolton were and probably still on the Iranian hit list Trump withdrew Secret Service protection from both of them almost immediately after he took office in January. In the case of Pompeo it was because he said that the 2020 presidential election was a free and fair election even though he actively supported Trump's reelection bid. In the case of Bolton it was probably because of his criticism of Trump for selling out the Syrian Kurds despite the fact that they were instrumental in the defeat of ISIS for which Trump still continues to claim credit.
What has happened makes the pagers incident pale by comparison: You Thought the Pager Attack Was Amazing? Israel Outdid Itself This Time The attack was years in the making--not just in planning, but in execution well within Iran's borders. Israel built a secret drone base in Iran over the years. Not months, but years. You can't make that up. Israel had to know exactly where to strike, when to strike simultaneously, and who was at any particular location at any given time. And they did--succeeding in taking out top IRGC leadership, key nuclear scientists, Iran's remaining air defense capabilities, and at least some of the country's drone production facilities. Just as impressive is the deception campaign Israel and the United States coordinated, which, it sure looks like, has been in the works for months. Trump's negotiation strategy gave Iran an out, but also a deadline, setting up the timeline. The US and Iran engaged in several rounds of negotiations, with Trump ostentatiously holding Netanyahu's leash--insisting he not strike during negotiations. The word is that Trump and Netanyahu's recent talks were not about convincing Israel to hold back, but rather to coordinate the final deception campaign. It seems unlikely that the US was not sharing real-time intelligence for the attack, although US officials are making it clear that US military assets were not used to strike Iran directly. This is very similar to our policy in Ukraine, where assistance is given for the Ukrainian military to strike Russian troops and Russia itself, but the Western countries can claim clean hands. EDIT: Confirmation of Israeli secret base in Iran.

More confirmation for post #130: Trump Drops an All-Time Troll on Iran, As What Happened Behind the Scenes Comes Into View (Updated) TRUMP: Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table. We will see. There are several people in leadership that will not be coming back. What an all-timer. Israel lops off Iran's head, and Trump responds by saying he hopes they come back to the negotiating table, but unfortunately, "there are several people in leadership that will not be coming back." This is why Trump is bigger than his movement, and why so many who try to mimic him fail to gain traction. He's just a different breed. That comment should put to bed any question as to whether Trump was supportive of these attacks or not. He's out there having fun with this, and he later went on to call the attacks "excellent."
There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes that people are unaware of. How many people took issue with trump diverting military assets from Ukraine to Israel and folks viewed that as proof of Trump appeasing Putin?
He was retweeting a joke from April Fool's Day. I should have remember it since I thought it was a good one for the occasion.
