Netanyahu and MBS asked Trump to bomb Iran, ignoring his own general's advice.
Then these motherfuckers bombed the school of the children of Iran's military personnel. Killing children just because they were the children of the Iranian military.
Killing children!?! Is that the US policy right now?
Don't tell me they knew exactly where the Ayatollah was but didn't see kids going in and out of that building for the past 10 years.
Evil motherfuckers!
May we remind the Americans that Saudi Arabia was involved in 9/11, and it was Israel that bombed US Marines.
Now the US is bombing other countries for them. I guess that's how you pay them back by sending more Americans to die for them.
How many innocent people need to die for this evil to be satisfied? What's the number you have in mind?
Now you have your long-awaited moron in the white house. I'm pretty sure you're going to try to get as much as you can.
Fucking cowards, man!

Best thing to do is walk away (or sail away, actually.) Trying to get involved in regime change, with boots on the ground, funding/arming various contra groups etc - sounds like a rehash of Vietnam & Afghanistan. The kind of quagmire that could last a decade or more. The half-baked idea of "the Iranian people" rising up to defeat the 1,000,000+ strong IRGC, regular military, & Basij was just a slogan (MIGA) that faded fast. Trump can claim he "liberated" Iran and move on to other vanity projects. For Iran's part, they'd be wise to let the bully walk away. Wild card is Israel, who may have lost the ability to control its blood-lust.

...high on his own supply. Look at his supporters here....they high, too, or just stupid. Probably both.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/...164413700.html

"....a senior official told Axios that Trump “grossly overestimated his ability” to force regime change in Iran, and was “high on his own supply” after previous strikes in Iran that he claimed had “obliterated” their nuke facilities and the military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of its president, Nicolás Maduro.

A source close to the administration said some key officials around Trump were reluctant or wanted more time. “He ended up saying, ‘I just want to do it,'” the source said. “He grossly overestimated his ability to topple the regime short of sending in ground troops.”

Whatever do you mean VC? I mean, he said "soon". How much clearer does it get

Then again, from a strategy perspective, you NEVER give a deadline/expected departure date/pain threshold, etc. when in a negotiation/conflict/war/etc. That gives your counterparty a clear objective. For example: if Bessent says "$127.54 oil is the price at which the US would leave the area", then you can bet oil would get there ASAP.

Of course, if it were a "if they do this, we'll de-escalate immediately" comment, that'd be different. But we haven't seen any open discourse suggesting what Iran could do to "end" the war....other than "unconditional surrender". U. S. Grant ("unconditional surrender" Grant) used the tactic in the Civil War. But, there was an expectation that the Union would be dissolving the notion of the Confederacy and remain in control of those territories.

Is "unconditional surrender", in this case, allowing the US to take over Iran? I highly doubt that. The US doesn't want to run Iran, that'd be dumb. So, what does an unconditional surrender look like here: the public certainly hasn't been told. I suspect the Iranians haven't either. That makes it hard to even estimate an end date...despite the very, VERY clear terminus suggested by "soon".

It would be quite interesting to know what really goes on inside the head:

-Exactly what comes to the surface? Or....
-"Never let anyone know what I am really thinking, but keep them guessing with 'crazy' rhetoric and unanticipated actions"

At first, I guessed the former. Then I started to wonder if it was the later as "no one can be this reckless with the world's largest economy". Now, however, I just don't know. And, if that is the intention, well played Mr. President, well played.............but I fear the world believes/knows that it is NOT.

Again with misplaced emotional outrage and energy from shallow information...
Do you even know what an Iranian kh-55 cruise missile is????

I didn’t say he must, I said he doesn’t have to… see the difference?
As for looking how you want and getting respect. True. As Trump has said, the US is getting respected again. The overwhelming support for his request to the western worlds navy’s to patrol the Strait of Hormuz is indicative of this.

True
It’s worked for Trump in his business activities as it’s given him freedom to move and bullshit his creditors.
Different story on the world’s stage when you can be seen as the emperor with no clothes.

.“He grossly overestimated his ability to topple the regime short of sending in ground troops.”
I urge you too look at the topographic map of Iran, having in mind that Afghanistan, the only country they could roll in tanks from, is lost!
But, even if they had Kandahar, Iran would obliterate all movement of troops and vehicles through it as all the interceptor radar support is lost.
Zionist crussaders lose again.
What's the name of that "expert" lol?

There are reports suggesting that Iran intends to assassinate Trump, making it a key goal for its leadership. This vendetta is deeply personal, as Trump was responsible for the death of Iran's leader's father. Should Iran experience further provocations, it is likely to activate its Houthi allies in Yemen to impose a blockade on the Strait of Bab El Mandeb, which spans 18 miles and separates Yemen from the Horn of Africa. Such a move would disrupt another crucial trade route. Located between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, the strait also connects to the Indian Ocean. As a result, this would make the Suez Canal inaccessible for northbound shipping traffic, and vessels heading south through the canal would be trapped in the Red Sea
