US/Israel and Iran- (7 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.

Truly sick to compare video games to bombings. This is how fascists desensitize the public.

I agree that all the gloating done by this administration is way over the top. It takes away from the seriousness of making these kind of decisions. People can and will disagree on whether all this is justified and rightfully so. It is a serious matter and one that should not be entered into lightly. It isn’t a game and certainly not something to gloat about especially when the job isn’t complete and not all objectives have been achieved. This isn’t a sporting event of an MMA match.

One of the most troubling parts of all of this was the recent attacks on Israel. Israel didn't think Hezbollah had that kind of capability still. What if they are wrong about Iran's nuclear capabilities?

I hope Fetterman is voted out soon. He really Republican. He’s further right than many Republicans.

Sen. John Fetterman [D-PA, 2023-2028], Senator for Pennsylvania - GovTrack.us

Not until 2028.

I would never ever stay at a Trump property for any reason anyway.

Say it again for the people in the back...

Maybe there is hope for us all. That or the earth is spinning off its axis.

Good luck
