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

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appears to be engaged in what a defense official called a “casualty cover-up,” offering The Intercept low-ball and outdated figures and failing to provide clarifications on military deaths and injuries.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.
