Guys I think they're gonna use the nuke

 

It's that or the U.S. walks away, there's not much room in the middle anymore. The U.S. may just walk away, every U.S. General is calling for it. The head General told Trump directly at the start of this terrorist operation that the U.S. could not be successful. There's no advantage even using nukes, only disadvantages, Europe would have to condemn it.

Man, if my ass is somehow making it to the end of this year then idk if I'll be able to gauge severity threats anymore. People could be swingin at me and shit, and I wouldn't even bat an eye. Like, just threats of annihilation after threats of annihilation, this is one hell of a timeline

[LordFall]

Some people are thinking it's all a big bluff for market manipulation. I think it's a bit foolish to underestimate the depths of human evil and depravity. Hopefully they're right but probably tomorrow we will be further into WW3 than we were today.

Somehow I believe this will lead to human transcendence and world peace but it's gonna be tough bullet to bite until then.

"Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the Pentagon won’t acknowledge it.

U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, appears to be engaged in what a defense official called a “casualty cover-up,” offering The Intercept low-ball and outdated figures and failing to provide clarifications on military deaths and injuries.

At least 15 U.S. troops were wounded Friday in an Iranian attack on a Saudi air base that hosts American troops, according to two government officials who spoke with The Intercept. Hundreds of U.S. personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the U.S. launched a war on Iran just over a month ago."

What the fuck are US politicians doing? 

They can't really do anything, as the Democrats have a minority in congress.

Our only hope is for the Democrats to sweep the midterms, then to impeach and remove this maniac. This most likely will not happen as Democrats are really weak and innefective, even when they have power.

It's not reasonably likely for Democrats alone to get to 67 senate seats to remove him, there's not that many swing seats up for re-election. 53 would be a lot.

Hopefully Bernie and AOC get him out! Why aren't Socialists running for the Southern Senate seats? They love Bernie, lol.

They don't need to impeach Trump to keep him under control, as we've seen with the Democrats ability to defund ICE while being out of power in every branch of government. You can defund the department of Defense too. 

As disastrous as his presidency is though, he might fake a health scare and resign.

This video features a discussion between Alexander Mercouris and Professor John Mearsheimer regarding the current conflict in Iran, which they characterize as a dangerous quagmire for the United States (2:49).

Key takeaways from the discussion:

The Quagmire: Professor Mearsheimer argues that the United States is in a no-win situation. President Trump faces a scenario where he cannot successfully escalate the war due to Iranian capabilities, yet has no viable exit strategy without appearing defeated (2:53 - 3:51).

Escalation Risks: The speakers discuss the risks of moving up the escalation ladder, which could lead to devastating consequences for global infrastructure, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, damage to oil production, and potential food shortages due to disruptions in fertilizer supplies (1:13:04 - 1:13:59, 43:28 - 44:42).

Failed Military Operations: The participants address reports from alternative media suggesting a recent military operation to recover an F-15 pilot also involved a failed attempt to extract enriched uranium. They argue that such efforts are attempts to cover up broader strategic failures (1:16:18 - 1:17:21).

International Relations: There is a significant focus on how European allies view this war as a massive diversion from Ukraine, leading to strained relations with Washington. The experts suggest that to resolve the conflict, the United States may eventually need to seek assistance from Russia and China to pressure Iran toward a ceasefire (15:46 - 16:21, 29:12 - 30:05).

Desperation in Policy: Both analysts agree that recent rhetoric from the White House suggests a high level of frustration and desperation, as there is currently no clear path toward a negotiated resolution (50:12 - 51:48).

The conversation concludes with a sober warning that, while they hope for an epiphany that leads away from further escalation, the situation remains dire and highly unpredictable (1:29:16 - 1:30:03).

The only thing the U.S. can do past, probably tomorrow, is an occasional bombing run from Europe. And they would mostly be bombs that would only take out a room in a building, a few bunker busters, but the Hot Stage of the war from the U.S. is likely over. Running low on interceptors is a brick wall. And continuing to bomb Iran just means longer term economic fallout. The jig is up, and now Israel will probably be bombed for the next 20 years like they've done to Palestine and Lebanon.

He has nothing to gain from restarting attacks, aside from distracting from the epstein trafficking, and he has everything to lose by restarting strikes. The only reason the u.s. is invited to the gulf is for 'stability', the gulf states have no reason to host the terrorist organization anymore.

I haven't noticed anyone mention Iraq, but the u.s. is at risk of losing it now. I've suspected the troop activation has been for Iraq.

Iran-backed militias are destroying Iraq. Baghdad must take them on.

Ceasefire.

[LordFall]

Really good to hear. 

[NewKidOnTheBlock]

Oh my God, I'm gonna eat so many fuckin tacos as a celebration, I'll become a Mexico bro

[danniel]

@Jirh But clearly this way of responding is the Iranian regime's conscious choice after much thinking, and they are still choosing to keep this terrorist act every day.  So what should be the proper response according to you if another country bombs your schools, universities, civilian infrastructure like bridges, and further threatens to invade  your country and also bomb critical energy infrastructure. And if I am not mistaken, didn't USA hit Tehran's biggest oil depot or something a week ago? Like what would be valid response to all this? According to you. And again, the Strait was opened and the ships were passing from the Strait with no problem whatsoever prior to February 28th. I do not disagree with you on the strait being closed on purpose, as a preplan. 

And again, I want to reiterate how every nation does not support USA's action, aside from Israel of course. So the fact the Strait was closed as a reaction against the action of USA. And when i say "survival instincts", it much more as taking over resources of other tribe, which would take lot of planning and strategy, rather than "fight or flight" situation which describes your example of facing a tiger, aka knee jerk reaction.

Why now? Because it's perceived as the best time to do it.  I would like to know According to who? Which government? And Which intelligence agency? Even the Generals of USA army do not agree with the war itself. Even the right wing speakers of USA do not agree with it. Example 

Iran always seemed to be few weeks from getting their hands on Nuclear weapons according to one guy lol

I am not disagreeing on the fact that strait being closed is wrong, but when question, why did it get closed? Because USA and Israel  govts decided consider Iran an urgent threat. Which is something I do wish to understand why. And if I read your reply
"Ultimately the goal is to eliminate Iran's projection of power outside its borders."
one can think of the Nuclear power talks which were planned to take place in Middle East (in Oman i believe) between the two parties, and the case was the same last year when Israel govt decided to launch missiles first, which caused 2 weeks of war bw them.
