Israel strikes Iran

My take…after bluffing on using military force in Greenland, Panama, Canada, etc, then bluffing most of the world on tariffs, Trump needed some concrete evidence that he is not just a bluffer. He said Iran had 60 days, and he was not lying.

Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un were watching. You can take it to the bank that what happened to Iran will be in the back of their minds when they negotiate with Trump.

 

Iran appears to be running out of missiles (and/or launchers). They might want to recall one or two of the ships going up the Caspian Sea to Russia.

Also, Israel is targeting the Pars South gas field, considered the largest in the world. About 90% of Iran's electricity comes from natural gas.

Is Iran running out of missiles? Its rate of attack on Israel is already slowing down, think tank says

 

Except that Iran is enriching uranium to a level that has no civilian use. Thats the conclusion of the IEAA report. Tulsi Gabbart is wrong. And if that is still her assessment, we need a new DNI.

 

He looks just like the guy in post 275!

 

The only way that Trump engages militarily is if Israel wipes out Iran's military capabilities completely, and Trump figures he can send some troops in and take credit for the victory, maybe have another parade. All Trump has is his bluffing. He has no sense of right or wrong other than if he does it, then it's right; if someone else does it, then it's wrong. Trump has little use for the military beyond parades. Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un can only laugh their asses off at the orange-tinted clown.

 

This is why I think the US needs to get involved solely for taking out their two nuclear facilities. And by “take out” I mean completely demolish beyond any potential repair/rebuild and use of their currently enriched uranium.

 

Craziest footage of an Iranian ballistic missile I’ve seen:

once regime change occurs, the dismantling of those facilities would be much easier since that will be part of the negotiations

 

I see the value, but I still say that value is outweighed by the potential strategic damage of being the aggressor in a widening war, a war that may widen anyway. Let Iran be the aggressor. If they attack our bases, attack our treaty allies, or obstruct freedon of the seas, then it’s game on. And even Russia and/or China won’t be able to do a thing but grumble.
