I voted for Trump and I don't support this attack on Iran. This is not liberating anybody, it is threatening overwhelming genocide. It is war crimes to eviscerate a country's bridges and power plants. To write this tweet on Easter Sunday in America while Americans are suffering is insulting and frankly alarming. We voted for domestic help: lower taxes, prices, building infrastructure, bringing abundance back to America. We can't afford out lives here. We can't afford WWIII
He is following orders; he is always following orders. As with most orders war-related, this one came down from the international banking cartel looking to bring Iran into compliance with the federal reserve bank system. 'Merica, the military and economic muscle of the world government that has long been in place.
Actually, I venture to disagree. The evidence that Mr Trump keeps losing his temper - and is now getting quite close to exploding altogether - suggests to me that it is personal. He cannot stand being denied or contradicted. Everything he wants, he must have NOW! Just like a badly brought up toddler, in fact.
How he reached his present age without having been socialised or acquainted with the fact that we can't always have what we want would be an interesting topic for a thesis. Part psychology, part sociology, part political science.
Another very important question is what exactly is wrong with the USA that such a man can become President - twice! Unfortunately, the facts seem to bear out what H. L. Mencken wrote 107 years ago.
"The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion".
- H.L. Mencken (“The Art Eternal”, New York Evening Mail 1918, as quoted in Alistair Cooke, “The Vintage Mencken”)
Lincoln was a hero of Karl Marx who praised him and the GOP. Thus, he was an assumed. All the rest were grifters.
"The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people — white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on — good honest hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all — at all — at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin
It's odd that he got that from what you wrote, but he raised an interesting rhetorical question and although he didn't realize it he's right. The answer for the most part is yes.
The most reliable basis would be modesty.(and preferably a history of balancing budgets.) Being from Missouri, some feared Harry Truman might be associated with the Pendergast Machine, but his administration was marked by vigorous and diligent prosecution of financial miscreants, and when he left office, he went back to his modest home in Independence. No meme coins, nothing.
I quoted H. L. Mencken's statement. Where does it say that the post of President "is reserved for grifters"?
"The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

That is exactly what puzzles me. How did the USA - the great and wonderful new nation, run on entirely new and noble lines and uniquely blessed by God, end up with absolutely no decent and acceptable candidates for President?
There are a handful of active US politicians who might make good Presidents, but the system won’t let them stand in case they win. And even if they won, I suspect they would find themselves more or less helpless to act on their own principles.
In the 80s, during the time when the apartheid rulers were fighting for the survival of the system, one US Congressman visited South Africa on a fact-finding mission.. While here, he met with political and community leaders of all persuasions...
Upon returning home to the US, he was quoted as having related that of all the interesting people he had met here, none of them were in government. This in my view, is a worldwide phenomenon ...
Very sad, but rings perfectly true! I fear that, once in government, most politicians find that they have many more pressing matters to attend to than representing the people and their interests. The people simply don’t contribute enough funds.
Susie anyone who votes is "to blame" because they just want to be parented instead of take responsibility for themselves. Taking responsibility would impel them to find others who want to do something about it, not just wait for someone to make change which will never occur because politicians are not there for us, they just are performing to make us think they are there for us. Even so we don't need babysitting.
While I agree that trump behaves like a toddler, and he does take things personally, Coincidence Theorist is correct in that trump is not really in charge, not totally. The banksters are in charge, giving him orders. He is owned, like so many other "leaders".
I concede that. But in the matter of Iran I think that his personal pride has carried him away. For whatever reason he started the war, he is now unwilling to give up until the Iranians grovel before him. Which is not going to happen.
Nothing new.. Trump is doing what other US presidents have done before him.. Only that he is doing it clumsily whereas the others were shrewd.. (from Johannesburg)
Yes. I would add that Mr Trump openly admits - or even boasts about - things that almost all his predecessors went to some pains to conceal.
On the whole, I feel that is a good thing - although I cannot give Mr Trump credit for honesty. I think it’s more that he simply couldn’t be bothered to lie to people whom he despises.
It may not even be Trump. The whole thing is performed by actors to keep the audience in shock for the purposes of the energies feeding on the people's loosh.
If we are all blown to bits in a nuclear war, it will at least be reassuring to know that it was AI and not a real person who pushed the button. Of course, we could ask him, and if the answer is Yes, the quote would seem to be prima facie evidence for invoking the 25th Amendment.
The problem I see is the voters were not given a reasonable choice. One simple If you presented a White House photo from say 4 years ago with the extreme attire of the various trans persons, to a spectrum of people, many would recoil at the apparent DEI pressure. The average person knows that the concentration was above even distribution, raising concern of agenda over meritocracy. Then all the other let’s say slightly extreme policies. This of course gave the voters a choice of….dreck? If only a decent choice was offered. I now see Carter , when compared to let’s say recent choices, as an astoundingly ethical and reasonable president.
This banking cartel and world government conspiracy crap is pure tinfoil nonsense. Trump isnt taking orders from some shadow group. Hes finally hitting a regime that butchers its own people: over 550 protesters shot dead in the 2022 Mahsa Amini uprising including dozens of kids and women just for chanting Woman Life Freedom plus thousands more killed in the recent protests and over 2000 executions in 2025 alone. They twist the Quran turning stuff like moharebeh into excuses to execute women who drop the hijab or anyone who pushes back. They scream Death to America and Death to Israel swear to wipe Israel off the map and lead the world in sponsoring terror through Hezbollah Hamas and the rest. Obama and Biden weakness with that JCPOA deal let them race for nukes. Real strength is the only thing that stops a nuclear terror state from dragging us into bigger trouble. America First means smashing these threats head on not dodging with conspiracy fairy tales.
Along with the Multi-Trillion dollars spent on the cool stuff the pentagon wants for the ultimate showdown of electric gun powder, ships, and flying fry pans.
(would you prefer rare, medium, or well done with your GBU-75A-B Mop?)
America always has a war mindset since early colonial days. It's tribal and brutal.
Fk around and find out is reality. Hiding in bunkers Russian Roulette. Not reality.
We have no idea what really happens anymore behind closed doors......
This President is decided no more Mr. Nice Guys.....the uncertainty lingers deep.
“We voted for domestic help: lower taxes, prices, building infrastructure, bringing abundance back to America.”
Well we know for sure that Democrats are not the solution, they are the party who drove the US straight into the ground (think back to when Biden was in office) My hope and prayer is that PDJT knows more than I do and the alternative is worse than F-bombs on Easter. Lord have mercy! 🙏
What would you say, if Iran made good on their threat to build 11 nukes? We know they'll use them... Russia and China are Iranian allies. Just crumble when the going gets tough?
They have been threatening for 40 years or more but yet nothing has happened. We are fighting a war we should not be a part of. Trump put us in this war for Israel. Netanyahu has said Iran needed to go down for the last 40 years. Our American soldiers should NOT BE FIGHTING for a country that despises us. Smh. Trump is not the President I voted for in 2016, he bows to Netanyahu period.
Goodness you did not read anything I said. At this point you are delusional, just like many of us were a few years ago. One day you will wake up to the realization that Iran is not a threat, only to Israel (Netanyahu) not United States. I pray that one day you open your eyes and I pray that you have a wonderful Easter.
😂 I was being honest and I was not smearing at all. If you would have read my reply to you, you would have noticed that I admitted to being delusional at one time a few years ago. Goodness have a blessed day.
You forgot to mention that Netanyahu and Israel, over the same timeframe, URGED us NOT TO ATTACK IRAQ! They warned it would only empower and embolden Iran. You missed that part.
“nothing has happened “??? Thousands of dead Americans, in Beirut, at multiple embassies, on the roadsides of Iraq, across the Syrian desert and other places , is “nothing”??? I think,?to paraphrase Shakespeare, “the lady doth protest too much.”
North Korea has proven its possession and delivery capacity.
Iran has proven its capacity to enrich and deliver.
The Shia fundamentalist view is along the lines of “we do God’s work by extermination of Israel, and when they counterstrike, we go to heaven”. PRNK is a weird Famílial totalitarian regime, but does not have any desire to be obliterated.
They bragged about having the uranium and could build 11 nukes in weeks. A DIRECT threat to the U.S. Russia and/or China could be feeding the crazed terrorists.
Again, sources? I have heard such talk recently from Western commentators. But not from any Iranian - at least none associated with the Iranian government.
Their civilians were carpet bombed for 3 years by the US and they have a "Museum of American War Atrocities." They hold dog excrement in higher regard than they hold Americans. They would like Americans annihilated off the face off the earth and score nearly 2/3 of a standard deviation higher than Americans do on IQ tests. They actually have nukes and have threatened the U.S. on numerous occasions.
I must agree that it's amazing how good most Americans are at not noticing how many people their government has killed abroad. A US general boasted that the bombing of North Korea had not left one brick or stone on another.
“IRGC is a menace to the world…”? Because Iran tried hard all these years NOT to build a nuclear weapon? But now, because of people like you supporting the genocidal Zionists and a psychopathic POTUS in this war of aggression, Iran will likely finally build them. In your delusional state you complain that Iran has blocked free commerce by blocking the strait and attacked its “neighbors”. Of course, there is no one more guilty of blocking free trade than the U.S., with its massive use of sanctions (siege warfare) for decades. The strait was open before the current war of aggression which you apologize for. You whine about Iran’s use of intelligent asymmetric tactics. Iran’s gulf “neighbors” are proxy poodles hosting US bases and effectively participating in the war of aggression against Iran. The poodles are now in the FAFO stage. Trump and the Zionists are proceeding to be the proximate cause of an incredibly destructive worldwide depression. In the service of your delusions, perhaps you have not considered what will happen when the gulf and Israeli oil/gas and desalination plants are seriously wiped out by Iranian retaliation and the Zionists use nuclear weapons.
It's logical. You're attacked without provocation (and your leadership assassinated under the guise of ongoing negotiations), what do you do? Exactly what Iran did. If they're now in a position that causes this geriatric spoiled brat with full-fledged dementia to throw a crude and uncontrolled tantrum, that demonstrates exactly why he's unfit for the office he holds (dangerously so).
Zeus, you are intellectually dishonest. YOU put the word “commendable” in my mouth. Shame on you. You are ignorant of the concept of proximate cause. What was the proximate cause of the closure (really restriction) of the strait? It was open prior to Trump/Zionist initiation of a war of aggression. And the Iranians employed a logical/rational/intelligent asymmetric tactic to counter. And who is stupid? Those who could not imagine that response. And Iran further refines by allowing friends to transit and barring enemies. Trump got fought with his pants down (pun intended). Trump and Hegseth et.al. not only can’t play chess - they can’t find the board. Iran has brilliantly prepared for asymmetric warfare in response to Zionist aggression. All the U.S. and Israel have is massive aerial bombing. Consult McGregor regarding Trump’s braindead plans for ground forces.
"The strait was open before the current war of aggression which you apologize for. You whine about Iran’s use of intelligent asymmetric tactics."
Your characterization of one as being an apologist for a war of aggression implies you take sides in the matter, as opposed to being a dispassionate observer. (aggression is in the eye of the beholder; both sides consider the other the aggressor. Your assigning America as the aggressor thus makes for your thesis alignment with IRGC). Therefore, your position being even slightly favorable (choose your adjective: tolerant, forgiving, understandable, etc.) to the Strait closure warrants the statement.
We can never achieve the goal of Iran not having a nuclear weapon. To do that would mean we would have stay there forever. Even if you get the enriched uranium they have today, how would we stop them from rebuilding and making more. You're not going to be able to remove all their uranium. And supposedly we destroyed their capabilities last year. This is a repeat of the Iraq war where there was no weapons of mass destruction there.
I voted for Trump and I do support this attack on Iran. The Mullahs can not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. They should be dealt with for their attacks on their Mideast neighbors and their attacks on us. It is dangerous and foolish not to deal with this problem. We’ve been kicking the can down the road for 47 years. We’ve run out of road.
They haven't made one in 47 years -- because the guy we killed so unceremoniously had forbidden it. What, you think they want a nuclear weapon to immediately use on Israel (which is a propaganda ploy of the Israeli government) and thus bring about the total destruction of their own nation in the process? No, in today's world, being nuclear armed means getting automatic respect -- and not being subject to the kind of attack Iran just was.
I voted for Trump too. Calling strikes on Iran's terror machine 'genocide' is delusional garbage. Obama and Biden’s weak JCPOA appeasement let this regime sprint toward nukes while funding global terror. Trump is smashing their nuclear sites, missiles, bridges, and power plants that arm their proxies and spike oil prices. This regime slaughters its own people: over 551 protesters gunned down in the 2022 Mahsa Amini uprising (including 68 children and 49 women) for chanting 'Woman, Life, Freedom.' In the recent 2025-2026 protests, estimates put the death toll at up to 40,000 killed by security forces. They racked up over 2,200 executions in 2025 alone. They distort the Quran, twisting verses on 'waging war against God' (moharebeh) and 'corruption on earth' into death penalties for women removing hijabs, peaceful protesters, or anyone resisting their tyranny, while preaching 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel,' vowing to wipe Israel off the map. Iran is the world’s #1 state sponsor of terrorism, arming Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and militias that murder Americans and Jews. Weak leaders like Obama and Biden created this mess with failed 'diplomacy.' Real strength stops a nuclear terror regime from holding the world hostage. America First means crushing these threats before they reach our shores, not repeating the disasters that almost delivered WWIII.
Never forget who started this war and how many INNOCENT CHILDREN WERE KILLED, 'thanks' Trump!! Also according to news, the gasoline prices in Poland a 50% less than in Germany... Why? Taxes for the wars...
An honest question is, do you think or believe the a republican Guard was building nuclear bombs to fit to its existing heavy lift missiles? Then if yes, do you believe the Mullahs when they say “we will destroy Israel, they will counter strike, but we will go to heaven”?
Mutual Assured Destruction does not work with the latter attitude. But, some people feel that a regional nuclear war, with a total yield of maybe 200-300 megatons can be tolerated without a nuclear winter. The cleanliness of those weapons would be doubtful so probably many would be poor yield so the wind would carry radionuclides far and wide. It’s fair to estimate significant cancer. The dust plumes and reduced crop yields might of course cause more conflicts.
“not liberating anybody”??? What heartless, cruel and ironic statement from someone CLAIMING to have voted for Trump! I can only ascribe your painfully cruel words to either callous ignorance, or, far worse, evil intent. Apparently you are completely blind to what has been going on in Iran for DECADES. As if the repeated slaughters of thousands of average Iranians seeking a better life for themselves, for judtice, got the end of a bicious, dogmatic theocracy ruling through brutal Sharia courts, murdering and torturing a nation and people that NEVER were and ever considered themselves united under some dominating Umma, never were uniformly Islamic. Zoroastrianism had never disappeared from amongst the people. There were and are historic population of Jews and Christians. Bahaism has long existed in its native land long before 1979, and survives, despite awful persecution by the Islamic Republic. If you know any Bahai’s or anything about their beliefs, you would be outraged by this persecution of a peaceful religion. I am not Bahai, but the Islamic Republic’s treatment of them should tell you all you need to know about the how evil this regime is, willing to torture, maim and kill without any cause, other than their own bloodlust. This cruelty is just piled up on ALL the evils of this regime. Your words unintentionally or not, condemn you to categorization with moral monsters, a regime that seems quite proudly lump itself in with the murderous regimes of the past. Their most recent slaughters in January, of tens of thousands of Iranians seeking a better life, freedom from Islamist terror and persecution, a functioning econy and even something so basic as WATER, these massacres are justification alone for the removal of the Islamic Republic. As I’ve written before, by asserting that this operation is “not liberating anybody,“ apparently you and too many others have forgotten all about those 10’s of thousands of murdered Iranian youth in the streets of cities and towns in all 31 provinces. Do you really think the Iranians have forgotten? You must have forgotten about IRGC, Basij and Arab foreign mercenaries who stormed into hospitals, shot those with bullet wounds to death in their hospital beds, then raped and murdered the doctors and nurses who treated these grievously injured young people. Do you really think the parent and families of these victims of regime terror have forgotten all about these atrocities? Did you fail to hear that the regime did almost nothing to help families recover their murdered children and kin’s bodies? Grieving families were forced to search through hundreds of body bags to find their loved ones, and if they did, the regime would not release it until the family reimbursed the IRGC for the bullets used to murder them. You think these families would EVER forget that? I live 10’s of thousands of miles away, and I know I can’t ever forget what I’ve seen and heard since January 8th.
If this was the entirety of the situation, there would still be moral justification for this war. But even if your conscience is seared and scarred beyond recognition, even then, the US is entirely justified in attacking the Islamic Republic. This regime has the blood of THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS on its hands, and for every day of its existence, it celebrates those murders, and cries out for more bloodletting. Hundreds of our troops, State Dept personnel and too many other Americans have been the targets of these since the 1980’s. They seek to instigate their version of Armageddon; this is why they seek nuclear weapons and ICBM’s. If you doubt this, explain why, when attacked by ONLY THE US AND ISRAEL, the regime responded not by attacking the aggressors; they ATTACKED EVERY NEIGHBORING COUNTRY, even countries like Quatar, Azerbaijan and Turkey,, with whom they have at least cordial relations? By attacking them, even friendly Gulf states are now cutting off ties and joining a coalition AGAINST the Islamic Republic, and it is the Gulf states, most of all, who now demand the US continue the war until that regime is removed.
So why did the regime attack its neighbors? Because they believe , and always have, that they must instigate final global chaos, that will lead to the reemergence of THEIR “messiah”, the “twelfth imam, what they call their “mahdi” from his hideout to rule the world. This is, frankly a death cult, and they think it’s their job start the dying. That’s why they want ICBM’s tipped with nukes. You think the world should wait around for them to get those?
"We can't afford out lives here. We can't afford WWIII"
It's not all about you, Deb. Think of Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, Fink, Thiel, Ellison, Altman, Gates, Zuck, Musk, Bezos, Bourla, Adelson et al. and their net worth.
Jack & Diane got fed a bill of goods and now the jig is up.
"Presidential" rhetoric fitting for a guy who has done nothing about mRNA medical bioweapons except pat himself on the back for warp speeding their debut. Or a guy who created a "Space Force" that now has an annual budget twice the size of NASA's, yet with now two "space" agencies, an Air Force, and 50 Air National Guards, is STILL unable (unwilling and/or not permitted to) protect his own country's airspace from daily chemtrail attacks.
MAGA - Maintaining America's Gullibility Agenda, bigly.
Mr. Operation Warp Speed also covered up an International Pedo ring!!! Says we need to forget about that and move on!! Calls himself a Christian!! The hypocrisy is endless with all these politician's from the Uniparty DemonRats and RepubTurds!!
Unfortunately Canada is in a steep downward trajectory. The auditor general described the deficit growth as “unsustainable”. There is no way Canada could afford to rebuild AEC or purchase nukes from say China.
I’m sure you loved Biden’s cowardly Afghanistan withdrawal,,, the fruits of which have only capitulated back to the years of ALL FEMALES once again repressed, subjugated to abuse WHILE THE strongmen of that failed nation continue their atrocities.
And today I watch leftists marching with RG, Hamas, etc., banners. Ignoring the brutality against women. The RG routinely now rape boys as well as females. They exploit the shame to exert fear. I ask people at what threshold they would agree it was appropriate for military intervention. After 50,000 atrocities? 500,000?
You're a philosemite. And a communist. Philosemites are always of the political left. The political right has always defended white Christians and Aryans. Iran (the name Iran literally means “land of the Aryans” (from arya meaning noble/Indo-Iranian)). Iran may be a Muslim but it is allied with Russia, which is Christian.
Yiu did say you are MAGA? Is it any wonder that a movement of people like you of "Communists for Trump," calling itself "MAGA Communism," has sprung up, culminating in the formation of the largely pro-Trump "American Communist Party." One of the co-founders of the American Communist Party is vehemently pro-Trump, despite the other having tied to distance himself somewhat.
Even in the "Revolutionary Communist Party of the USA," which is not explicitly pro-Trump, there is obvious admiration for President Trump, who the Communists see as the best thing to happen to the USA in many years. See the article at the link:
Trump victory: a kick in the teeth for the establishment - Revolutionary Communist Party of the USA
Never gonna happen. Oxford University in 2016 found that POTUS had more psychopathic traits than Adolf Hitler and that was an understatement. By 5 years into his term Hitler had done little. POTUS makes Hitler look like a choirboy but the Democrats and other world leaders are complicit. That's why they're falling to their knees to fellate him.
I agree that it will likely never happen. Plenty of evidence demonstrating lack of fitness for office, but a dearth of uncompromised people in Congress. But I can dream, can't I?
Actually, once they're back in power the Dems will almost certainly indict him.on war crimes charges. Those are capital crimes and they'll want to do it to try to restore America's reputation in the world but until then they'll be complicit.
Absolutely they *will* attack Trump. Absolutely they will *not* stop this war, as they are just as AIPAC owned. Congress has already 'quietly' backed off from it, refusing to require declaration-of-war.
Elected Democrats -- like Republicans, with maybe the sole consistent exceptions of Paul and Massie -- are partisans looking for advantage.
"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
It's great that the pilot or weapons officer was found. The Iranians are claiming they destroyed multiple US planes during the rescue mission. The U.S. denies it. It's hard to know who is telling the truth.
I love POTUS Trump's use of language.
It is an inspiration to the world.
POTUS Trump is going to destroy their civilian electricity grid.
Their military would not be reliant on their civilian electricity grid.
On advice from Secretary Hegseth, POTUS Trump will probably also selectively target numerous kindergartens, schools, hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies and aged care facilities as well as sources of clean drinking water.
Many will be double-tapped so that when rescuers come to help survivors they can be killed too.
"On advice from Secretary Hegseth, POTUS Trump will.probably also selectively target numerous kindergartens, schools, hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies and aged care facilities as well as sources of clean drinking water."
DBC is what is a load of bullshit. Face facts bozo.
Historically, the U.S. has always targeted schools, kindergartens, hospitals, aged care facilities etc. The historical record shows that the United States has been the world's leading sponsor of terrorism—including state terrorism conducted by and through itself—since 1945, responsible for the highest number of military and civilian deaths through direct actions and proxy wars. These are not isolated incidents but patterns of indiscriminate violence and intentional war crimes against civilian populations to achieve political and military objectives, which meet any reasonable definition of terrorist acts.
During World War II, the U.S. engaged in carpet bombing of civilian cities in Japan (most notoriously the firebombing of Tokyo) and Germany, deliberately targeting non-combatant populations to break morale. This was followed by the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction—the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki—which killed tens of thousands of civilians instantly and caused untold suffering for generations. In the Korean War (1950–1953), U.S. forces conducted relentless carpet bombing of North Korean civilian cities for three years, destroying dams and infrastructure in ways that threatened mass starvation; historians estimate 2–3 million dead, the vast majority civilians. As the many historical investigations of United States war crimes have documented, these were not collateral damage but systematic campaigns of aerial terror, including deliberate “no prisoners” policies, massacres of refugees (such as No Gun Ri), and the intentional targeting of populated areas to force surrender—classic hallmarks of terrorism when carried out by non-state actors, yet normalized when done by a superpower.
The scale is staggering. Since 1945, the United States has been responsible for the highest number of military and civilian deaths worldwide:
• Korea (1950–1953): ~2–3 million dead, mostly civilians from bombing and ground warfare.
• Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia (1955–1975): ~3–4 million civilians and combatants, including mass bombing campaigns like Operation Rolling Thunder and the Secret War in Laos.
• Iraq (1990–2011): ~1–1.5 million dead, including over 500,000 children from 1990s sanctions and post-2003 violence.
• Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia (2001–present): ~400,000+ civilians directly killed, with over 3 million total deaths including indirect causes. Proxy support for conflicts in Chile, Guatemala, Indonesia, Angola, El Salvador, Colombia added hundreds of thousands more deaths.
This pattern extends to unconditional U.S. military aid and diplomatic cover for Israeli actions, including support tied to causes and groups with documented terrorist histories. Examples include:
• Irgun Zvai Leumi (Etzel): A pre-state Zionist underground group that used violence against Arab populations and British forces in the 1930s–1940s, including the 1946 King David Hotel bombing.
• Lehi (Stern Gang): A militant group that broke from the Irgun and carried out assassinations and bombings against British officials and Arab civilians.
• Kach and Kahane Chai: Far-right, extremist groups founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane, labeled terrorist organizations by Israel, the U.S., and the EU due to violence against Arabs.
• TNT (Terror Neged Terror): A 1970s–80s extremist group that carried out attacks against Palestinian targets.
In the current context (2023–present), U.S.-supplied weapons have been used in densely populated areas of Gaza, where over 70,000 Palestinians have been killed—actions for which international bodies and human rights groups view the U.S. as complicit through continued arms transfers.
These are not defenses of any other nation’s actions; they are simply a call for intellectual consistency. If we label non-state or adversarial actors as terrorists for far smaller-scale violence, we must apply the same standard to the world’s most powerful state when it has repeatedly used mass civilian targeting as policy. The U.S. is, by the numbers and the methods, the leading terrorist actor, and nation of war criminals, on the global stage—sponsoring itself above all.
The U.S. has struck roughly 600 schools and 300 hospitals, clinics, and medical centres across Iran, according to multiple independent tallies. Hundreds of schools. Dozens of health facilities. Thousands of kids and civilians. If those strikes were tried at Nuremberg the way the Nazis were tried, POTUS Trump, Hegseth, and Netanyahu would all hang.
Plenty of Americans are defending the mass killing of children because they had the misfortune of living in the wrong postcode. They ask why schools are close to military installations that the schoolchildren's fathers work at, even though the U.S. also sites schools close to military installations. That’s hypocrisy. That’s a performance. Classic narcissist move—exactly the personality profile that thousands of mental-health professionals (Brandy X. Lee and her peers) have attributed to POTUS Trump, and the same one that almost certainly applies to Hegseth and the American deity, Bibi Netanyahu.
Psychopaths omit the human cost. Psychopaths talk in abstractions. Psychopaths always find a way to blame the victims for standing too close to the target.
"The U.S. has struck roughly 600 schools and 300 hospitals, clinics, and medical centres across Iran, according to multiple independent tallies"
"Hundreds of schools. Dozens of health facilities. Thousands of kids and civilians." Which is it 300 hospitals or dozens. Nice links btw.
"Plenty of Americans are defending the mass killing of children" - horseshit.
The bozo's are the one's, making shit up. Fake news. TDS is a tough disease to overcome.... I suppose you'd like Harris in the WH "leading" hahaha. She was a really effective border czar.
America is likely to become a terrorist war zone after the bulk of this simmers down. Probably not too soon, but it's coming, and will only get worse, for *years*. Maybe centuries.
If ever there was a "crazy bastard," it's DJT. And if he's allowed to remain in office after this, it will indeed mean "we don't have a country anymore."
What a distortion and lie you are promoting. Trump is not threatening 94 milllion Iranians of whom 90% are rejecting Islam and among which Christianity is the fastest growing religion!
On this Feast of First Fruits and resurrection of Yahshua the Anointed, I pray that the Holy Spirit which is the spirit of TRUTH leads us to expose the role of the Demonic Diocese promoting the Antichrist Ideology which claims that ‘Allah is Jesus ‘ and that we all worship the same ‘god ‘.
Strangely enough, there is no commandment not to use foul language, but there are commandments regarding giving false witness, believing in a gospel other than that directly from Yahshua, and not to folllow the gods of other nations.
Amen, I'll go a step further. When people say things like Allah is Jesus, they are likely not referring to Jesus of Nazareth, whose name is Yahusha. Or a close variant of it since accurate history is difficult to come by, both secular and theological.
LOL. Hmm, yes, ninety percent of *Iranians* are abandoning Islam. Even though it's a completely different thing than rejecting the (current) theocracy. Would sure love to see what you think is evidence for this!
Do some reading. Try to talk to some Iranians. I think you will find that the majority of Iranians have lost enthusiasm for the version of Islam promoted by the RG. Many mosque have closed. The percentage of the population who enthusiastically support the full Shia extremism is maybe 10%, mostly because they directly benefit. Luxury, immunity from most prosecution, etc. It is the false pious actions of the RG that have driven away the faithful . For example alcohol is haram, but sold routinely by the RG.
I still prefer Trump a 1000X over Harris, but yep, that post was lame. Praying our leaders more accurately reflect Christ's attributes of truth, mercy and forgiveness.
They are both satanic. Harris and her party of degenerates who work day and night to destroy the family, gender and all norms of society that people have held for centuries. To the satanic war monger, Trump who has done more to damage our standards of decent behavior and world respect than any leader to date. To Hell with both of them and the political parties of which they belong.
Exactly Laura, it is a Uniparty and they are accomplishing exactly what they want in order to retain power, that is Conquer and Divide!! It is the oldest play book for every great Empire, but it seems as though no one has figured that out yet!! Wise Wolf wrote a good piece on why everyone needs a worldly savior https://www.thewisewolf.club/p/saviors
I believe in prayer also, but we are fighting spiritual EVIL, and as the battles are happening in the principalities, sadly, on earth as is in heaven, the same is happening. EVIL NEEDS TO HIT A WALL.
You talk with such conviction against President Trump yet you fail to mention the war crime Iran is committing by keeping the Staight closed for the rest of the world to suffer. President Trump wants a cease fire and an open Straight. What you have to ask is who controls the Staight? Right now it is Iran. There lies the War Crime. And bombing Iran is the only solution
You forgot to mention the Loyds of London/Iran agreement on shipping / Insurance costs that the “open shipping” was costing everyone who crossed. Total gouging. And the terrorist Pirates attacks on a daily basis against innocent vessels paid for and sanctioned by Iran, and if their nuclear program was for peaceful means then why do it underground deep enough so bombs can’t reach and millions of offensive missiles so no one can argue against a nuclear armed Iran. We all know it was for bombs not electricity. You get your news from Trump haters not people who love others and want to exist in peace. We finally have the means to take the bully down.
Many analysts conclude that proxy activity in Lebanon and Yemen was just a few years from gaining full control of the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. With nukes, they could have crushed the global economy.
I’m getting tired of the anti-Trump nonsense. Maybe he’s threatening the regime today of all days bc 1 in 7 believers, or 328 million Christians, are under threat by Islamists. You’re going to talk about Trump using the F bomb? First, he’s a human being subject to frustration just like the rest of us. He, like the rest of us, is a sinner. Second, I have bigger fish to fry. Like the slaughter of Nigerian Christians. I literally DO NOT CARE about what language my president chooses to use so long as he’s taking care of business that’s needed to happen for DECADES. If the Iranian ppl support what he’s doing, and from everything I’ve seen, they overwhelmingly do, then I’ll keep supporting our president. If he offends your sensitivities that much, then keep scrolling. I don’t regret voting for Trump in 2024. I do, however, regret NOT voting for him in 2016 and 2020. If I had voted for him sooner, maybe I could’ve helped tip the scales so I wouldn’t have to watch grown-ass men clutch their pearls in 2026. Yes, war is ugly. So is propaganda. Deal with it.
Dear, you seem to have swallowed the propaganda, hook, line and sinker. I suggest you perhaps follow the work of the likes of Dimitri Lascaris who actually went into Iran and spoke with hundreds of Iranians to get their sentiments. He also went into the Strait of Hormuz, which not one journalist has had the courage to do. Just good ole fashioned on the ground reporting. Try it - you might just learn something new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuDaUTZY0qo
I’m a 50 year old woman, I’ve seen this play out my entire life, and I’m too old and too experienced with all of this to tolerate being patronized by you, DEAR. Try that shit on someone else.
Oh what horse dung! If it's a war crime to target civilian infrastructure, explain that so far, the US and Israel have killed five times as many military combatants in this conflict where the Iranians have killed five times as many civilians. And no such claims have been made against the Iranians.
It is explicitly not a war crime to attack civilian infrastructure. No modern war has ever been won without doing so. Waging war is not a war crime, even if Trump does it.
Let’s be honest for a second, some of you are acting like this all started yesterday, and it didn’t. You’re outraged over rhetoric while conveniently forgetting what actual weakness looked like just a few years ago.
Under Joe Biden, we watched a chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal that left Americans stranded, cost lives, and handed billions in equipment to our enemies. We saw Iran grow more aggressive, sanctions loosened, and global instability increase while the U.S. projected hesitation instead of strength. Energy prices surged, inflation hit families hard, and the border was effectively wide open. That was the reality.
Now suddenly everyone is clutching their pearls over tone?
You don’t have to like every word Donald Trump uses, but pretending strong deterrence is the same as reckless war is just not serious. The entire point of projecting strength is to prevent escalation, not invite it. History has shown over and over that weakness invites conflict, while strength forces adversaries to think twice.
And let’s not rewrite the situation: Iran isn’t some passive actor. It has threatened global shipping, pursued nuclear capabilities, and funded proxy conflicts for decades. Ignoring that doesn’t make it go away.
If you want to debate strategy, fine, that’s fair. But acting like America was safer, stronger, or more stable under the last administration is simply not accurate. People forget quickly what rising costs, global embarrassment, and lack of leadership actually felt like.
You can disagree with Trump’s style. But don’t confuse discomfort with danger or pretend we haven’t already seen what the alternative looks like.
Leake is comfortable in his abode overlooking the pecan tree, and then Trump tosses him from the bed with an f-word.
Leake is unbothered by--because his senses cannot detect--the launch and detonation of a US Navy missile that destroys an Iranian facility and invariably takes the life of an innocent within blast range. That is a loss of innocent life, and it is real, very real. The expression of the f-word is a stoke of emotion for emotion's sake--very much unreal in the world of physics and energy.
Leake is unmoved by the real and moved by the unreal. There is a disconnect from reality there.
I was very surprised by this post - so many want to hate the country my family has been in for generations and NO ONE GIVES TWO FUCKS about how they have stolen our country from us and put in so many foreigners stealing our tax dollars that we are all slaves ourselves. I'm done with it. I'm done with their retarded outrage too.
I was shocked when I read that. I feel like he has lost him mind. What has happened to our leaders that they have become so depraved. My heart goes out to all the innocent people who are paying the price for this war in Lebanon and Iran. Israel was proudly praising him for posting that message today on Easter Sunday. Romans 12 says don't pay evil for evil; don't take revenge but overcome evil with good. So much for Trumps negotiating skills. I just lost respect for that man.
The key is to use A as a means of conservation when B is a higher expenditure of effort/cost.
To wit, a robber will extort your wallet from you, because taking your life raises the cost of the transaction. You can say that in such an instance you would prefer a good negotiator as your hold-up artist.
Trump will effect some outcome which will be net favorable compared to the status quo ante of December. If it is demolition of Strait closure capacity or a reroute of shipping to be overland, the ability of Iran to throttle commerce will have been removed/significantly abated...for a net improvement long term for international commerce.
Iran NEEDS to back down. If crass words of a NY born & raised tough, unpredictable President get Iran to curb their never ending threats , actions, then You Go Mr. President❣️that regime has ONLY experienced mamby pamby actions with lifted sanctions & sheet loads of cash in trying to patronize their actions. STRENGTH GETS ATTENTION.
And just to let you know, Dan, your go-to method of personal attacks, blindered alarums and excursions, and general slander does not constitute an argument.
Yes, Frank, we know that Zionists deny and rationalize the clear-cut genocide. Smotrich is your doppelgänger. Your ignorance about the elements of genocide, in the service of your denial and rationalization, is glaring. Your projection is tiresome.
I voted for Trump and I don't support this attack on Iran. This is not liberating anybody, it is threatening overwhelming genocide. It is war crimes to eviscerate a country's bridges and power plants. To write this tweet on Easter Sunday in America while Americans are suffering is insulting and frankly alarming. We voted for domestic help: lower taxes, prices, building infrastructure, bringing abundance back to America. We can't afford out lives here. We can't afford WWIII
He is following orders; he is always following orders. As with most orders war-related, this one came down from the international banking cartel looking to bring Iran into compliance with the federal reserve bank system. 'Merica, the military and economic muscle of the world government that has long been in place.
Actually, I venture to disagree. The evidence that Mr Trump keeps losing his temper - and is now getting quite close to exploding altogether - suggests to me that it is personal. He cannot stand being denied or contradicted. Everything he wants, he must have NOW! Just like a badly brought up toddler, in fact.
How he reached his present age without having been socialised or acquainted with the fact that we can't always have what we want would be an interesting topic for a thesis. Part psychology, part sociology, part political science.
Another very important question is what exactly is wrong with the USA that such a man can become President - twice! Unfortunately, the facts seem to bear out what H. L. Mencken wrote 107 years ago.
"The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion".
- H.L. Mencken (“The Art Eternal”, New York Evening Mail 1918, as quoted in Alistair Cooke, “The Vintage Mencken”)
Really? Kennedy, Lincoln, Reagan, Eisenhower... All grifters?
Lincoln was a hero of Karl Marx who praised him and the GOP. Thus, he was an assumed. All the rest were grifters.
"The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people — white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on — good honest hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all — at all — at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin
Your comment intrigues me! Please explain how you got that from what I wrote.
It's odd that he got that from what you wrote, but he raised an interesting rhetorical question and although he didn't realize it he's right. The answer for the most part is yes.
The post is reserved for grifters. So, on what basis is a generally honest man elected president?
The most reliable basis would be modesty.(and preferably a history of balancing budgets.) Being from Missouri, some feared Harry Truman might be associated with the Pendergast Machine, but his administration was marked by vigorous and diligent prosecution of financial miscreants, and when he left office, he went back to his modest home in Independence. No meme coins, nothing.
I quoted H. L. Mencken's statement. Where does it say that the post of President "is reserved for grifters"?
"The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion".
- H.L. Mencken (“The Art Eternal”, New York Evening Mail 1918, as quoted in Alistair Cooke, “The Vintage Mencken”)
You have the failed Democrats to blame for Trump's elections, especially the second term.
That is exactly what puzzles me. How did the USA - the great and wonderful new nation, run on entirely new and noble lines and uniquely blessed by God, end up with absolutely no decent and acceptable candidates for President?
There are a handful of active US politicians who might make good Presidents, but the system won’t let them stand in case they win. And even if they won, I suspect they would find themselves more or less helpless to act on their own principles.
In the 80s, during the time when the apartheid rulers were fighting for the survival of the system, one US Congressman visited South Africa on a fact-finding mission.. While here, he met with political and community leaders of all persuasions...
Upon returning home to the US, he was quoted as having related that of all the interesting people he had met here, none of them were in government. This in my view, is a worldwide phenomenon ...
Very sad, but rings perfectly true! I fear that, once in government, most politicians find that they have many more pressing matters to attend to than representing the people and their interests. The people simply don’t contribute enough funds.
Susie anyone who votes is "to blame" because they just want to be parented instead of take responsibility for themselves. Taking responsibility would impel them to find others who want to do something about it, not just wait for someone to make change which will never occur because politicians are not there for us, they just are performing to make us think they are there for us. Even so we don't need babysitting.
While I agree that trump behaves like a toddler, and he does take things personally, Coincidence Theorist is correct in that trump is not really in charge, not totally. The banksters are in charge, giving him orders. He is owned, like so many other "leaders".
I concede that. But in the matter of Iran I think that his personal pride has carried him away. For whatever reason he started the war, he is now unwilling to give up until the Iranians grovel before him. Which is not going to happen.
Nothing new.. Trump is doing what other US presidents have done before him.. Only that he is doing it clumsily whereas the others were shrewd.. (from Johannesburg)
Yes. I would add that Mr Trump openly admits - or even boasts about - things that almost all his predecessors went to some pains to conceal.
On the whole, I feel that is a good thing - although I cannot give Mr Trump credit for honesty. I think it’s more that he simply couldn’t be bothered to lie to people whom he despises.
SMH...

It may not even be Trump. The whole thing is performed by actors to keep the audience in shock for the purposes of the energies feeding on the people's loosh.
If we are all blown to bits in a nuclear war, it will at least be reassuring to know that it was AI and not a real person who pushed the button. Of course, we could ask him, and if the answer is Yes, the quote would seem to be prima facie evidence for invoking the 25th Amendment.
The problem I see is the voters were not given a reasonable choice. One simple If you presented a White House photo from say 4 years ago with the extreme attire of the various trans persons, to a spectrum of people, many would recoil at the apparent DEI pressure. The average person knows that the concentration was above even distribution, raising concern of agenda over meritocracy. Then all the other let’s say slightly extreme policies. This of course gave the voters a choice of….dreck? If only a decent choice was offered. I now see Carter , when compared to let’s say recent choices, as an astoundingly ethical and reasonable president.
This banking cartel and world government conspiracy crap is pure tinfoil nonsense. Trump isnt taking orders from some shadow group. Hes finally hitting a regime that butchers its own people: over 550 protesters shot dead in the 2022 Mahsa Amini uprising including dozens of kids and women just for chanting Woman Life Freedom plus thousands more killed in the recent protests and over 2000 executions in 2025 alone. They twist the Quran turning stuff like moharebeh into excuses to execute women who drop the hijab or anyone who pushes back. They scream Death to America and Death to Israel swear to wipe Israel off the map and lead the world in sponsoring terror through Hezbollah Hamas and the rest. Obama and Biden weakness with that JCPOA deal let them race for nukes. Real strength is the only thing that stops a nuclear terror state from dragging us into bigger trouble. America First means smashing these threats head on not dodging with conspiracy fairy tales.
NOT...

Along with the Multi-Trillion dollars spent on the cool stuff the pentagon wants for the ultimate showdown of electric gun powder, ships, and flying fry pans.
(would you prefer rare, medium, or well done with your GBU-75A-B Mop?)
America always has a war mindset since early colonial days. It's tribal and brutal.
Fk around and find out is reality. Hiding in bunkers Russian Roulette. Not reality.
We have no idea what really happens anymore behind closed doors......
This President is decided no more Mr. Nice Guys.....the uncertainty lingers deep.
“We voted for domestic help: lower taxes, prices, building infrastructure, bringing abundance back to America.”
Well we know for sure that Democrats are not the solution, they are the party who drove the US straight into the ground (think back to when Biden was in office) My hope and prayer is that PDJT knows more than I do and the alternative is worse than F-bombs on Easter. Lord have mercy! 🙏
Two wings of the same bird my friend.
I hope there are a lot more Americans like you. There is not another country in the world that supports this war. Isreal/USA is on their own.
There's no other country with leaders that want to risk war crimes charges or to go down in history as war criminals.
What would you say, if Iran made good on their threat to build 11 nukes? We know they'll use them... Russia and China are Iranian allies. Just crumble when the going gets tough?
Orange man bad, for reacting to a direct threat?
They have been threatening for 40 years or more but yet nothing has happened. We are fighting a war we should not be a part of. Trump put us in this war for Israel. Netanyahu has said Iran needed to go down for the last 40 years. Our American soldiers should NOT BE FIGHTING for a country that despises us. Smh. Trump is not the President I voted for in 2016, he bows to Netanyahu period.
I'd rather us not being involved.
When you sit down on day one of negotiations - Iran threatened us with 11 nukes. Likely their last threat to the U.S.
Now what? Run?
The Iranian public doesn't despise the U.S.
Goodness you did not read anything I said. At this point you are delusional, just like many of us were a few years ago. One day you will wake up to the realization that Iran is not a threat, only to Israel (Netanyahu) not United States. I pray that one day you open your eyes and I pray that you have a wonderful Easter.
Oh My!! Delusional.... smearing is so 2020.
😂 I was being honest and I was not smearing at all. If you would have read my reply to you, you would have noticed that I admitted to being delusional at one time a few years ago. Goodness have a blessed day.
Iranians love USA. The Republican Guard wants USA dead.
You forgot to mention that Netanyahu and Israel, over the same timeframe, URGED us NOT TO ATTACK IRAQ! They warned it would only empower and embolden Iran. You missed that part.
Iraq happened a long time ago. Netanyahu only wants what is best for his regime not United States. We are not talking about Iraq. Have a blessed day.
“nothing has happened “??? Thousands of dead Americans, in Beirut, at multiple embassies, on the roadsides of Iraq, across the Syrian desert and other places , is “nothing”??? I think,?to paraphrase Shakespeare, “the lady doth protest too much.”
Iraq? We are talking about Iran.
"We know they'll use them... "
You (and I, and everyone else) know *nothing* except that there are, *now*, dead Iranians.
North Korea has nukes too.
they don't have Iran's track record - thankfully.
What track record is that? Preferably with accurate, truthful sources.
If you're a teenager, you get a hall pass. If you've been around for ~60+ years, you should know. That you don't, isn't my problem.
In other words he just owned you. You have no accurate, truthful sources.
North Korea has nukes.
Iran does not.
North Korea has proven its possession and delivery capacity.
Iran has proven its capacity to enrich and deliver.
The Shia fundamentalist view is along the lines of “we do God’s work by extermination of Israel, and when they counterstrike, we go to heaven”. PRNK is a weird Famílial totalitarian regime, but does not have any desire to be obliterated.
They bragged about having the uranium and could build 11 nukes in weeks. A DIRECT threat to the U.S. Russia and/or China could be feeding the crazed terrorists.
Again, sources? I have heard such talk recently from Western commentators. But not from any Iranian - at least none associated with the Iranian government.
Seek psychiatric help. You're delusional.
Their civilians were carpet bombed for 3 years by the US and they have a "Museum of American War Atrocities." They hold dog excrement in higher regard than they hold Americans. They would like Americans annihilated off the face off the earth and score nearly 2/3 of a standard deviation higher than Americans do on IQ tests. They actually have nukes and have threatened the U.S. on numerous occasions.
I must agree that it's amazing how good most Americans are at not noticing how many people their government has killed abroad. A US general boasted that the bombing of North Korea had not left one brick or stone on another.
That sort of thing tends to cause resentment.
If Gov Newsom could slaughter 30K CA citizens for political gain, would he?
No.
IRGC acts differently. It is for them either spiritual or jungle war for survival. In either case, IRGC is a menace to the world and must be neutered.
“IRGC is a menace to the world…”? Because Iran tried hard all these years NOT to build a nuclear weapon? But now, because of people like you supporting the genocidal Zionists and a psychopathic POTUS in this war of aggression, Iran will likely finally build them. In your delusional state you complain that Iran has blocked free commerce by blocking the strait and attacked its “neighbors”. Of course, there is no one more guilty of blocking free trade than the U.S., with its massive use of sanctions (siege warfare) for decades. The strait was open before the current war of aggression which you apologize for. You whine about Iran’s use of intelligent asymmetric tactics. Iran’s gulf “neighbors” are proxy poodles hosting US bases and effectively participating in the war of aggression against Iran. The poodles are now in the FAFO stage. Trump and the Zionists are proceeding to be the proximate cause of an incredibly destructive worldwide depression. In the service of your delusions, perhaps you have not considered what will happen when the gulf and Israeli oil/gas and desalination plants are seriously wiped out by Iranian retaliation and the Zionists use nuclear weapons.
"You whine about Iran’s use of intelligent asymmetric tactics."
Interesting that you consider closure of the Strait to be intelligent and commendable.
It's logical. You're attacked without provocation (and your leadership assassinated under the guise of ongoing negotiations), what do you do? Exactly what Iran did. If they're now in a position that causes this geriatric spoiled brat with full-fledged dementia to throw a crude and uncontrolled tantrum, that demonstrates exactly why he's unfit for the office he holds (dangerously so).
Zeus, you are intellectually dishonest. YOU put the word “commendable” in my mouth. Shame on you. You are ignorant of the concept of proximate cause. What was the proximate cause of the closure (really restriction) of the strait? It was open prior to Trump/Zionist initiation of a war of aggression. And the Iranians employed a logical/rational/intelligent asymmetric tactic to counter. And who is stupid? Those who could not imagine that response. And Iran further refines by allowing friends to transit and barring enemies. Trump got fought with his pants down (pun intended). Trump and Hegseth et.al. not only can’t play chess - they can’t find the board. Iran has brilliantly prepared for asymmetric warfare in response to Zionist aggression. All the U.S. and Israel have is massive aerial bombing. Consult McGregor regarding Trump’s braindead plans for ground forces.
"The strait was open before the current war of aggression which you apologize for. You whine about Iran’s use of intelligent asymmetric tactics."
Your characterization of one as being an apologist for a war of aggression implies you take sides in the matter, as opposed to being a dispassionate observer. (aggression is in the eye of the beholder; both sides consider the other the aggressor. Your assigning America as the aggressor thus makes for your thesis alignment with IRGC). Therefore, your position being even slightly favorable (choose your adjective: tolerant, forgiving, understandable, etc.) to the Strait closure warrants the statement.
We can never achieve the goal of Iran not having a nuclear weapon. To do that would mean we would have stay there forever. Even if you get the enriched uranium they have today, how would we stop them from rebuilding and making more. You're not going to be able to remove all their uranium. And supposedly we destroyed their capabilities last year. This is a repeat of the Iraq war where there was no weapons of mass destruction there.
never say never
how to stop ?- Iran is finding out as we speak.
You failed to answer his questions because you can't. You’re a paranoid whackjob as well as a psychopath.
hahaha - belly laugh... say that again, out loud, while looking in the mirror.
And now there's growing fear that DT will authorize a nuclear strike.
I voted for Trump and I do support this attack on Iran. The Mullahs can not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. They should be dealt with for their attacks on their Mideast neighbors and their attacks on us. It is dangerous and foolish not to deal with this problem. We’ve been kicking the can down the road for 47 years. We’ve run out of road.
They haven't made one in 47 years -- because the guy we killed so unceremoniously had forbidden it. What, you think they want a nuclear weapon to immediately use on Israel (which is a propaganda ploy of the Israeli government) and thus bring about the total destruction of their own nation in the process? No, in today's world, being nuclear armed means getting automatic respect -- and not being subject to the kind of attack Iran just was.
I voted for Trump too. Calling strikes on Iran's terror machine 'genocide' is delusional garbage. Obama and Biden’s weak JCPOA appeasement let this regime sprint toward nukes while funding global terror. Trump is smashing their nuclear sites, missiles, bridges, and power plants that arm their proxies and spike oil prices. This regime slaughters its own people: over 551 protesters gunned down in the 2022 Mahsa Amini uprising (including 68 children and 49 women) for chanting 'Woman, Life, Freedom.' In the recent 2025-2026 protests, estimates put the death toll at up to 40,000 killed by security forces. They racked up over 2,200 executions in 2025 alone. They distort the Quran, twisting verses on 'waging war against God' (moharebeh) and 'corruption on earth' into death penalties for women removing hijabs, peaceful protesters, or anyone resisting their tyranny, while preaching 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel,' vowing to wipe Israel off the map. Iran is the world’s #1 state sponsor of terrorism, arming Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and militias that murder Americans and Jews. Weak leaders like Obama and Biden created this mess with failed 'diplomacy.' Real strength stops a nuclear terror regime from holding the world hostage. America First means crushing these threats before they reach our shores, not repeating the disasters that almost delivered WWIII.
See my response above.
Never forget who started this war and how many INNOCENT CHILDREN WERE KILLED, 'thanks' Trump!! Also according to news, the gasoline prices in Poland a 50% less than in Germany... Why? Taxes for the wars...
An honest question is, do you think or believe the a republican Guard was building nuclear bombs to fit to its existing heavy lift missiles? Then if yes, do you believe the Mullahs when they say “we will destroy Israel, they will counter strike, but we will go to heaven”?
Mutual Assured Destruction does not work with the latter attitude. But, some people feel that a regional nuclear war, with a total yield of maybe 200-300 megatons can be tolerated without a nuclear winter. The cleanliness of those weapons would be doubtful so probably many would be poor yield so the wind would carry radionuclides far and wide. It’s fair to estimate significant cancer. The dust plumes and reduced crop yields might of course cause more conflicts.
“not liberating anybody”??? What heartless, cruel and ironic statement from someone CLAIMING to have voted for Trump! I can only ascribe your painfully cruel words to either callous ignorance, or, far worse, evil intent. Apparently you are completely blind to what has been going on in Iran for DECADES. As if the repeated slaughters of thousands of average Iranians seeking a better life for themselves, for judtice, got the end of a bicious, dogmatic theocracy ruling through brutal Sharia courts, murdering and torturing a nation and people that NEVER were and ever considered themselves united under some dominating Umma, never were uniformly Islamic. Zoroastrianism had never disappeared from amongst the people. There were and are historic population of Jews and Christians. Bahaism has long existed in its native land long before 1979, and survives, despite awful persecution by the Islamic Republic. If you know any Bahai’s or anything about their beliefs, you would be outraged by this persecution of a peaceful religion. I am not Bahai, but the Islamic Republic’s treatment of them should tell you all you need to know about the how evil this regime is, willing to torture, maim and kill without any cause, other than their own bloodlust. This cruelty is just piled up on ALL the evils of this regime. Your words unintentionally or not, condemn you to categorization with moral monsters, a regime that seems quite proudly lump itself in with the murderous regimes of the past. Their most recent slaughters in January, of tens of thousands of Iranians seeking a better life, freedom from Islamist terror and persecution, a functioning econy and even something so basic as WATER, these massacres are justification alone for the removal of the Islamic Republic. As I’ve written before, by asserting that this operation is “not liberating anybody,“ apparently you and too many others have forgotten all about those 10’s of thousands of murdered Iranian youth in the streets of cities and towns in all 31 provinces. Do you really think the Iranians have forgotten? You must have forgotten about IRGC, Basij and Arab foreign mercenaries who stormed into hospitals, shot those with bullet wounds to death in their hospital beds, then raped and murdered the doctors and nurses who treated these grievously injured young people. Do you really think the parent and families of these victims of regime terror have forgotten all about these atrocities? Did you fail to hear that the regime did almost nothing to help families recover their murdered children and kin’s bodies? Grieving families were forced to search through hundreds of body bags to find their loved ones, and if they did, the regime would not release it until the family reimbursed the IRGC for the bullets used to murder them. You think these families would EVER forget that? I live 10’s of thousands of miles away, and I know I can’t ever forget what I’ve seen and heard since January 8th.
If this was the entirety of the situation, there would still be moral justification for this war. But even if your conscience is seared and scarred beyond recognition, even then, the US is entirely justified in attacking the Islamic Republic. This regime has the blood of THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS on its hands, and for every day of its existence, it celebrates those murders, and cries out for more bloodletting. Hundreds of our troops, State Dept personnel and too many other Americans have been the targets of these since the 1980’s. They seek to instigate their version of Armageddon; this is why they seek nuclear weapons and ICBM’s. If you doubt this, explain why, when attacked by ONLY THE US AND ISRAEL, the regime responded not by attacking the aggressors; they ATTACKED EVERY NEIGHBORING COUNTRY, even countries like Quatar, Azerbaijan and Turkey,, with whom they have at least cordial relations? By attacking them, even friendly Gulf states are now cutting off ties and joining a coalition AGAINST the Islamic Republic, and it is the Gulf states, most of all, who now demand the US continue the war until that regime is removed.
So why did the regime attack its neighbors? Because they believe , and always have, that they must instigate final global chaos, that will lead to the reemergence of THEIR “messiah”, the “twelfth imam, what they call their “mahdi” from his hideout to rule the world. This is, frankly a death cult, and they think it’s their job start the dying. That’s why they want ICBM’s tipped with nukes. You think the world should wait around for them to get those?
"We can't afford out lives here. We can't afford WWIII"
It's not all about you, Deb. Think of Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, Fink, Thiel, Ellison, Altman, Gates, Zuck, Musk, Bezos, Bourla, Adelson et al. and their net worth.
Jack & Diane got fed a bill of goods and now the jig is up.
I totally agree with you.
"Presidential" rhetoric fitting for a guy who has done nothing about mRNA medical bioweapons except pat himself on the back for warp speeding their debut. Or a guy who created a "Space Force" that now has an annual budget twice the size of NASA's, yet with now two "space" agencies, an Air Force, and 50 Air National Guards, is STILL unable (unwilling and/or not permitted to) protect his own country's airspace from daily chemtrail attacks.
MAGA - Maintaining America's Gullibility Agenda, bigly.
Mr. Operation Warp Speed also covered up an International Pedo ring!!! Says we need to forget about that and move on!! Calls himself a Christian!! The hypocrisy is endless with all these politician's from the Uniparty DemonRats and RepubTurds!!
Sounds like reasons for Canada to rebuild our nuke program.
Unfortunately Canada is in a steep downward trajectory. The auditor general described the deficit growth as “unsustainable”. There is no way Canada could afford to rebuild AEC or purchase nukes from say China.
"Crazy bastards"? The pot calling the kettle black. One characteristic of malignant narcissism is projection.
Will some one please invoke the 25th amendment? How much more evidence do we need?
I’m sure you loved Biden’s cowardly Afghanistan withdrawal,,, the fruits of which have only capitulated back to the years of ALL FEMALES once again repressed, subjugated to abuse WHILE THE strongmen of that failed nation continue their atrocities.
And today I watch leftists marching with RG, Hamas, etc., banners. Ignoring the brutality against women. The RG routinely now rape boys as well as females. They exploit the shame to exert fear. I ask people at what threshold they would agree it was appropriate for military intervention. After 50,000 atrocities? 500,000?
Or no limits?
Weakness propagates people living fear filled lives; not willing to stand for GOD GIVEN rights, freedoms
Move to Iran.
Move to Israel you left wing loony.
Wonderful but wrong. I'm a MAHA/MAGA voter. Left wing looney's are Trump America first voters??
You're a philosemite. And a communist. Philosemites are always of the political left. The political right has always defended white Christians and Aryans. Iran (the name Iran literally means “land of the Aryans” (from arya meaning noble/Indo-Iranian)). Iran may be a Muslim but it is allied with Russia, which is Christian.
hahahaha... but you are woke.
What about the CCP? Collapses your spittle.
That's projection buddy. I know your type:
Yiu did say you are MAGA? Is it any wonder that a movement of people like you of "Communists for Trump," calling itself "MAGA Communism," has sprung up, culminating in the formation of the largely pro-Trump "American Communist Party." One of the co-founders of the American Communist Party is vehemently pro-Trump, despite the other having tied to distance himself somewhat.
Even in the "Revolutionary Communist Party of the USA," which is not explicitly pro-Trump, there is obvious admiration for President Trump, who the Communists see as the best thing to happen to the USA in many years. See the article at the link:

Never gonna happen. Oxford University in 2016 found that POTUS had more psychopathic traits than Adolf Hitler and that was an understatement. By 5 years into his term Hitler had done little. POTUS makes Hitler look like a choirboy but the Democrats and other world leaders are complicit. That's why they're falling to their knees to fellate him.
I agree that it will likely never happen. Plenty of evidence demonstrating lack of fitness for office, but a dearth of uncompromised people in Congress. But I can dream, can't I?
Actually, once they're back in power the Dems will almost certainly indict him.on war crimes charges. Those are capital crimes and they'll want to do it to try to restore America's reputation in the world but until then they'll be complicit.
Absolutely they *will* attack Trump. Absolutely they will *not* stop this war, as they are just as AIPAC owned. Congress has already 'quietly' backed off from it, refusing to require declaration-of-war.
Elected Democrats -- like Republicans, with maybe the sole consistent exceptions of Paul and Massie -- are partisans looking for advantage.
Correct.
Par for the course.
"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
It's great that the pilot or weapons officer was found. The Iranians are claiming they destroyed multiple US planes during the rescue mission. The U.S. denies it. It's hard to know who is telling the truth.
I love POTUS Trump's use of language.
It is an inspiration to the world.
POTUS Trump is going to destroy their civilian electricity grid.
Their military would not be reliant on their civilian electricity grid.
On advice from Secretary Hegseth, POTUS Trump will probably also selectively target numerous kindergartens, schools, hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies and aged care facilities as well as sources of clean drinking water.
Many will be double-tapped so that when rescuers come to help survivors they can be killed too.
This is who Americans are.
"On advice from Secretary Hegseth, POTUS Trump will.probably also selectively target numerous kindergartens, schools, hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies and aged care facilities as well as sources of clean drinking water."
What a load of bullshit.
DBC is what is a load of bullshit. Face facts bozo.
Historically, the U.S. has always targeted schools, kindergartens, hospitals, aged care facilities etc. The historical record shows that the United States has been the world's leading sponsor of terrorism—including state terrorism conducted by and through itself—since 1945, responsible for the highest number of military and civilian deaths through direct actions and proxy wars. These are not isolated incidents but patterns of indiscriminate violence and intentional war crimes against civilian populations to achieve political and military objectives, which meet any reasonable definition of terrorist acts.
During World War II, the U.S. engaged in carpet bombing of civilian cities in Japan (most notoriously the firebombing of Tokyo) and Germany, deliberately targeting non-combatant populations to break morale. This was followed by the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction—the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki—which killed tens of thousands of civilians instantly and caused untold suffering for generations. In the Korean War (1950–1953), U.S. forces conducted relentless carpet bombing of North Korean civilian cities for three years, destroying dams and infrastructure in ways that threatened mass starvation; historians estimate 2–3 million dead, the vast majority civilians. As the many historical investigations of United States war crimes have documented, these were not collateral damage but systematic campaigns of aerial terror, including deliberate “no prisoners” policies, massacres of refugees (such as No Gun Ri), and the intentional targeting of populated areas to force surrender—classic hallmarks of terrorism when carried out by non-state actors, yet normalized when done by a superpower.
The scale is staggering. Since 1945, the United States has been responsible for the highest number of military and civilian deaths worldwide:
• Korea (1950–1953): ~2–3 million dead, mostly civilians from bombing and ground warfare.
• Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia (1955–1975): ~3–4 million civilians and combatants, including mass bombing campaigns like Operation Rolling Thunder and the Secret War in Laos.
• Iraq (1990–2011): ~1–1.5 million dead, including over 500,000 children from 1990s sanctions and post-2003 violence.
• Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia (2001–present): ~400,000+ civilians directly killed, with over 3 million total deaths including indirect causes. Proxy support for conflicts in Chile, Guatemala, Indonesia, Angola, El Salvador, Colombia added hundreds of thousands more deaths.
This pattern extends to unconditional U.S. military aid and diplomatic cover for Israeli actions, including support tied to causes and groups with documented terrorist histories. Examples include:
• Irgun Zvai Leumi (Etzel): A pre-state Zionist underground group that used violence against Arab populations and British forces in the 1930s–1940s, including the 1946 King David Hotel bombing.
• Lehi (Stern Gang): A militant group that broke from the Irgun and carried out assassinations and bombings against British officials and Arab civilians.
• Kach and Kahane Chai: Far-right, extremist groups founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane, labeled terrorist organizations by Israel, the U.S., and the EU due to violence against Arabs.
• TNT (Terror Neged Terror): A 1970s–80s extremist group that carried out attacks against Palestinian targets.
In the current context (2023–present), U.S.-supplied weapons have been used in densely populated areas of Gaza, where over 70,000 Palestinians have been killed—actions for which international bodies and human rights groups view the U.S. as complicit through continued arms transfers.
These are not defenses of any other nation’s actions; they are simply a call for intellectual consistency. If we label non-state or adversarial actors as terrorists for far smaller-scale violence, we must apply the same standard to the world’s most powerful state when it has repeatedly used mass civilian targeting as policy. The U.S. is, by the numbers and the methods, the leading terrorist actor, and nation of war criminals, on the global stage—sponsoring itself above all.
The U.S. has struck roughly 600 schools and 300 hospitals, clinics, and medical centres across Iran, according to multiple independent tallies. Hundreds of schools. Dozens of health facilities. Thousands of kids and civilians. If those strikes were tried at Nuremberg the way the Nazis were tried, POTUS Trump, Hegseth, and Netanyahu would all hang.
Plenty of Americans are defending the mass killing of children because they had the misfortune of living in the wrong postcode. They ask why schools are close to military installations that the schoolchildren's fathers work at, even though the U.S. also sites schools close to military installations. That’s hypocrisy. That’s a performance. Classic narcissist move—exactly the personality profile that thousands of mental-health professionals (Brandy X. Lee and her peers) have attributed to POTUS Trump, and the same one that almost certainly applies to Hegseth and the American deity, Bibi Netanyahu.
Psychopaths omit the human cost. Psychopaths talk in abstractions. Psychopaths always find a way to blame the victims for standing too close to the target.
Nice try.
"Independent tallies"
"The U.S. has struck roughly 600 schools and 300 hospitals, clinics, and medical centres across Iran, according to multiple independent tallies"
"Hundreds of schools. Dozens of health facilities. Thousands of kids and civilians." Which is it 300 hospitals or dozens. Nice links btw.
"Plenty of Americans are defending the mass killing of children" - horseshit.
The bozo's are the one's, making shit up. Fake news. TDS is a tough disease to overcome.... I suppose you'd like Harris in the WH "leading" hahaha. She was a really effective border czar.
Yes, TDS (Trump Dead-ender Syndrome) is a tough affliction to overcome…
So, who should be Potus?
Hospitals may be health facilities but the use of the term health facilities frequently denotes facilities other than hospitals, dumbass!
Oh My!! Stop.
"Yo, dude, WHATEVER it takes!!"
America is likely to become a terrorist war zone after the bulk of this simmers down. Probably not too soon, but it's coming, and will only get worse, for *years*. Maybe centuries.
If ever there was a "crazy bastard," it's DJT. And if he's allowed to remain in office after this, it will indeed mean "we don't have a country anymore."
No, not at all. Compare USA military to all others. One of the most ethical.
What a distortion and lie you are promoting. Trump is not threatening 94 milllion Iranians of whom 90% are rejecting Islam and among which Christianity is the fastest growing religion!
On this Feast of First Fruits and resurrection of Yahshua the Anointed, I pray that the Holy Spirit which is the spirit of TRUTH leads us to expose the role of the Demonic Diocese promoting the Antichrist Ideology which claims that ‘Allah is Jesus ‘ and that we all worship the same ‘god ‘.
Strangely enough, there is no commandment not to use foul language, but there are commandments regarding giving false witness, believing in a gospel other than that directly from Yahshua, and not to folllow the gods of other nations.
Amen, I'll go a step further. When people say things like Allah is Jesus, they are likely not referring to Jesus of Nazareth, whose name is Yahusha. Or a close variant of it since accurate history is difficult to come by, both secular and theological.
"90% are rejecting Islam"
LOL. Hmm, yes, ninety percent of *Iranians* are abandoning Islam. Even though it's a completely different thing than rejecting the (current) theocracy. Would sure love to see what you think is evidence for this!
Do some reading. Try to talk to some Iranians. I think you will find that the majority of Iranians have lost enthusiasm for the version of Islam promoted by the RG. Many mosque have closed. The percentage of the population who enthusiastically support the full Shia extremism is maybe 10%, mostly because they directly benefit. Luxury, immunity from most prosecution, etc. It is the false pious actions of the RG that have driven away the faithful . For example alcohol is haram, but sold routinely by the RG.
I still prefer Trump a 1000X over Harris, but yep, that post was lame. Praying our leaders more accurately reflect Christ's attributes of truth, mercy and forgiveness.
They are both satanic. Harris and her party of degenerates who work day and night to destroy the family, gender and all norms of society that people have held for centuries. To the satanic war monger, Trump who has done more to damage our standards of decent behavior and world respect than any leader to date. To Hell with both of them and the political parties of which they belong.
The Uniparty: preaching to different demographics, but with the same goal of global devastation.
Exactly Laura, it is a Uniparty and they are accomplishing exactly what they want in order to retain power, that is Conquer and Divide!! It is the oldest play book for every great Empire, but it seems as though no one has figured that out yet!! Wise Wolf wrote a good piece on why everyone needs a worldly savior https://www.thewisewolf.club/p/saviors
Ditto.
I believe in prayer also, but we are fighting spiritual EVIL, and as the battles are happening in the principalities, sadly, on earth as is in heaven, the same is happening. EVIL NEEDS TO HIT A WALL.
You talk with such conviction against President Trump yet you fail to mention the war crime Iran is committing by keeping the Staight closed for the rest of the world to suffer. President Trump wants a cease fire and an open Straight. What you have to ask is who controls the Staight? Right now it is Iran. There lies the War Crime. And bombing Iran is the only solution
People keep forgetting the fact that the strait was open - until this administration's actions got it closed.
You forgot to mention the Loyds of London/Iran agreement on shipping / Insurance costs that the “open shipping” was costing everyone who crossed. Total gouging. And the terrorist Pirates attacks on a daily basis against innocent vessels paid for and sanctioned by Iran, and if their nuclear program was for peaceful means then why do it underground deep enough so bombs can’t reach and millions of offensive missiles so no one can argue against a nuclear armed Iran. We all know it was for bombs not electricity. You get your news from Trump haters not people who love others and want to exist in peace. We finally have the means to take the bully down.
Many analysts conclude that proxy activity in Lebanon and Yemen was just a few years from gaining full control of the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. With nukes, they could have crushed the global economy.
I’m getting tired of the anti-Trump nonsense. Maybe he’s threatening the regime today of all days bc 1 in 7 believers, or 328 million Christians, are under threat by Islamists. You’re going to talk about Trump using the F bomb? First, he’s a human being subject to frustration just like the rest of us. He, like the rest of us, is a sinner. Second, I have bigger fish to fry. Like the slaughter of Nigerian Christians. I literally DO NOT CARE about what language my president chooses to use so long as he’s taking care of business that’s needed to happen for DECADES. If the Iranian ppl support what he’s doing, and from everything I’ve seen, they overwhelmingly do, then I’ll keep supporting our president. If he offends your sensitivities that much, then keep scrolling. I don’t regret voting for Trump in 2024. I do, however, regret NOT voting for him in 2016 and 2020. If I had voted for him sooner, maybe I could’ve helped tip the scales so I wouldn’t have to watch grown-ass men clutch their pearls in 2026. Yes, war is ugly. So is propaganda. Deal with it.
Try getting tired of the puppet show. It's much more relaxing.
Dear, you seem to have swallowed the propaganda, hook, line and sinker. I suggest you perhaps follow the work of the likes of Dimitri Lascaris who actually went into Iran and spoke with hundreds of Iranians to get their sentiments. He also went into the Strait of Hormuz, which not one journalist has had the courage to do. Just good ole fashioned on the ground reporting. Try it - you might just learn something new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuDaUTZY0qo
I’m a 50 year old woman, I’ve seen this play out my entire life, and I’m too old and too experienced with all of this to tolerate being patronized by you, DEAR. Try that shit on someone else.
Going potty-mouth seems to be a MAGA thing.(Making America Grate Its Teeth Again?)
Umm….is that all? That’s the best you can do? I’ll go back to Making my Day Great Again. Hope you do the same.
Pax vobiscum.
Oh what horse dung! If it's a war crime to target civilian infrastructure, explain that so far, the US and Israel have killed five times as many military combatants in this conflict where the Iranians have killed five times as many civilians. And no such claims have been made against the Iranians.
It is explicitly not a war crime to attack civilian infrastructure. No modern war has ever been won without doing so. Waging war is not a war crime, even if Trump does it.
He converted to Chabad in 2017; he is about as far from Christianity as is possible. He is of his father the Devil, the father of liars.
Let’s be honest for a second, some of you are acting like this all started yesterday, and it didn’t. You’re outraged over rhetoric while conveniently forgetting what actual weakness looked like just a few years ago.
Under Joe Biden, we watched a chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal that left Americans stranded, cost lives, and handed billions in equipment to our enemies. We saw Iran grow more aggressive, sanctions loosened, and global instability increase while the U.S. projected hesitation instead of strength. Energy prices surged, inflation hit families hard, and the border was effectively wide open. That was the reality.
Now suddenly everyone is clutching their pearls over tone?
You don’t have to like every word Donald Trump uses, but pretending strong deterrence is the same as reckless war is just not serious. The entire point of projecting strength is to prevent escalation, not invite it. History has shown over and over that weakness invites conflict, while strength forces adversaries to think twice.
And let’s not rewrite the situation: Iran isn’t some passive actor. It has threatened global shipping, pursued nuclear capabilities, and funded proxy conflicts for decades. Ignoring that doesn’t make it go away.
If you want to debate strategy, fine, that’s fair. But acting like America was safer, stronger, or more stable under the last administration is simply not accurate. People forget quickly what rising costs, global embarrassment, and lack of leadership actually felt like.
You can disagree with Trump’s style. But don’t confuse discomfort with danger or pretend we haven’t already seen what the alternative looks like.
Leake is comfortable in his abode overlooking the pecan tree, and then Trump tosses him from the bed with an f-word.
Leake is unbothered by--because his senses cannot detect--the launch and detonation of a US Navy missile that destroys an Iranian facility and invariably takes the life of an innocent within blast range. That is a loss of innocent life, and it is real, very real. The expression of the f-word is a stoke of emotion for emotion's sake--very much unreal in the world of physics and energy.
Leake is unmoved by the real and moved by the unreal. There is a disconnect from reality there.
You project. It is you who is out of touch with reality (the most basic definition of insanity).
I was very surprised by this post - so many want to hate the country my family has been in for generations and NO ONE GIVES TWO FUCKS about how they have stolen our country from us and put in so many foreigners stealing our tax dollars that we are all slaves ourselves. I'm done with it. I'm done with their retarded outrage too.
I was shocked when I read that. I feel like he has lost him mind. What has happened to our leaders that they have become so depraved. My heart goes out to all the innocent people who are paying the price for this war in Lebanon and Iran. Israel was proudly praising him for posting that message today on Easter Sunday. Romans 12 says don't pay evil for evil; don't take revenge but overcome evil with good. So much for Trumps negotiating skills. I just lost respect for that man.
Negotiating is Part A to the Part B of taking.
The key is to use A as a means of conservation when B is a higher expenditure of effort/cost.
To wit, a robber will extort your wallet from you, because taking your life raises the cost of the transaction. You can say that in such an instance you would prefer a good negotiator as your hold-up artist.
Trump will effect some outcome which will be net favorable compared to the status quo ante of December. If it is demolition of Strait closure capacity or a reroute of shipping to be overland, the ability of Iran to throttle commerce will have been removed/significantly abated...for a net improvement long term for international commerce.
Iran NEEDS to back down. If crass words of a NY born & raised tough, unpredictable President get Iran to curb their never ending threats , actions, then You Go Mr. President❣️that regime has ONLY experienced mamby pamby actions with lifted sanctions & sheet loads of cash in trying to patronize their actions. STRENGTH GETS ATTENTION.

You complain from the safety of Trump's restoration, John.
Says the apologist for Zionist genocide of Palestinians…
Your constant state of excited delirium is no way to live, Dan.
Palestinians are especially remarkable: they are the only group to steadily increase in population during genocide.
https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/state-of-palestine-population/
And just to let you know, Dan, your go-to method of personal attacks, blindered alarums and excursions, and general slander does not constitute an argument.
Yes, Frank, we know that Zionists deny and rationalize the clear-cut genocide. Smotrich is your doppelgänger. Your ignorance about the elements of genocide, in the service of your denial and rationalization, is glaring. Your projection is tiresome.
Thank-you for yet another mindless rant - a constant of your presence.
Your projection and lack of analytical ability is what is mindless…
Trump has fallen below ANY MORALITY!!! Does he really write these posts? I pray not!
Good question. It sounds deranged.
