US/Israel and Iran- (4 Viewers)

[efil4]

Thought we should start thread here - over weekend, US carried out strikes against Houthi elements in Yemen in retaliation for their actions in Red Sea.



Houthi leader issued this statement- no US ships in Red Sea


Houthis then attempted to strike US Carrier group

This morning Trump took to Truth Social:



So any missile/shot fired from Houthi elements in Yemen will be considered coming from Iran. Obviously this is wrought with problems, but we know Houthis will respond and continue attacks.

So then what does this mean for Iran? Lots to unpack, but seems to me that the NO WAR POTUS is hell bent on getting into yet ANOTHER conflict in the ME. He is backing himself into a corner with statements and we could find ourselves embroiled in ME conflict again.

This is just so forked up. And you have the SECWAR crowing about it, boasting about no rules of engagement - when what he means is being depraved.

That Iranian destroyer we blew up with a terrifying new-generation torpedo was unarmed and returning from a multi-national goodwill event in India that the US also participated in.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship

The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

its one thing to have a CoC who is just completely and utterly vile.

its another to have almost his entire Cabinet just as vile.

We are crossing the line into Third Reich territory

They have no honor whatsoever.

Remember there was always that one kid as school who would hit or kick you in the back as you walked away from an argument? This entire cabinet is made up of that kid.

Trump seems to have a great shot at ushering in an economic collapse rivaling or worse than 2008

he was led to believe that this Iran War was going to be just as smooth as the Venezuelan operation

Its why we arent hearing a coherent "plan" or "objectives" - they didnt have past day 5.

And now, because of his extreme narcissism, cannot and will not accept that its so much worse. He has blinders on and has no clue.

What will happen is more people will die, unceremoniously, and he will wake up one morning and pull the plug, claim victory, and walk away from an absolute MESS of a ME.

We havent even begun to talk about the issues the Gulf States will face once we tuck tail and bolt.

They're literally putting together criminal charges against her (presumably for more leverage).

Apparently Russia has been giving Iran intel on US forces' locations:

Building into an actual world war..

I'm really not the conspiracist type...but support for the war with Iran is at ~20%, much lower than for other disastrous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.

Would NOT be surprised to see some false flag event on US soil blamed on Iran in an attempt to galvanize support for said war

Trump is such an idiot. Where did this idea come from that HE picked the leader of Venezuela? Every time I see the news media parroting that I feel like they’re being crazy. She was the VP! He didn’t “pick” her, she was next in line of succession. He’s trying to bully her, and they are trying to gin up charges against her. Our news media is failing us in almost every way right now.

Also - Russia is helping Iran with intelligence but he is such an idiot he is still taking Russia’s side against Ukraine.

Wouldn’t be surprised about a false flag op either.

Also wouldn’t be surprised if MAGA and, indeed, others fell for it.

How many “are we the bad guys” moments do we need?

 

[superchuck500]

The narcissism it takes to just define words however you want is so angering

 

[superchuck500]

So this is now confirmed by various news agencies - at the same time that Trump eased sanctions on Russian oil, Russia is helping Iran target US interests. All while Ukraine is offering to help the US with the drone defense.

They simply dont care about lives of US or any other service member in the ME nor the civilian toll.

So long as the objective(s) is met.
