Blame their parents and schools.

The investigation has been seeking to establish that Trump was the victim of a criminal conspiracy against his rights.


This is awful journalism. Investigations don’t seek to establish a crime. That wording places blame of the crime on the investigation.


How about: “The investigation seeks to determine if Trump was the targeted victim of a crime al- by a weaponized FBI with the intent to remove an opposition candidate from an election”.

Iran does business with China, India, and Pakistan. So let's go total sanctions of all those 3 countries


They’ve had the last 6 months to establish economic and military support with these countries behind the scenes.

So unless we’re willing to implement the blockade at Irans borders, Irans position has already been at its weakest point. It’s unlikely things get worse for them. As supply lines mature, they likely hit a level to sustain the regime absent a catalyst which causes collapse.

Solid troll by Trump. Enjoy the melts.

Iran is the size of Texas x3…. Going to be a minute.


Targeted assassinations. Resume them with Israel. Every time one of these frickers pops off, greet him with a one way attack drone.

Cheap and effective.

Might take 6 months but it’s effective in conjunction with the blockade.
I’d seen the 10% number on Fox multiple times. Looks like it might be GDP.

Point being they will adjust over time to mitigate impact. I’m not confident a sustained blockade will significantly change the Iranian calculus.
Just like oil is finding other routes outside of Hormuz over time, Iran too is finding other ways to resupply over time and negate our blockade.

Oil sales only made up ~10% of their revenue.

Unless we start bombing overland transports at Irans borders, our blockade impact will lose some effectiveness over time.
George Carlin comes to mind.

I think it’s something like: “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it”.

As long as we get to see the body cam footage.

No nukes


It’s either that or a full invasion.

I’d prefer nukes. Zero Americans die.

Either way the consequences have to be catastrophic or it becomes a calculated risk by our enemies.

I hope this happens so we can watch the left get twisted in knots as they eat each other.

Defend gender identity?
Defend women from men?
China knows how stupid many in the west are. Cant blame them really.

With AI a small number of people with modest resources can pull this off.


And tons of plausible deniability.

u do realize, our worst enemies are also creating these, with zero restrictions and cares of it getting out.


We’re probably funding them to do it just like COVID.

Still waiting for some accountability there.
It’s probably just a deterrent. Doubt they actually activate it. If India and Pakistan go at it….

We’ll find out real quick if it has teeth.
quote:

Iran knows this and have the upper hand, so doubt he has the balls to launch a full scale attack.


What ever the reason- allies, markets, stockpiles….. it’s clear Iran sees it and is executing a very specific plan against him.

The frustrating thing is everyone can see it, and we haven’t disrupted it.
quote:

according to both people familiar with the conversation, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation.


Terrible journalism. It’s not retaliation when you do something you’re not authorized to do. It’s accountability.
Yep. Best thing to expose them. Zero chance in a general.

Them baws got paid I'm sure.


And therein lies the predicate for a probe.

Hopefully there is one underway

So did our military screw up the planning


Echoing another response, it’s easy for me to say what we should do differently.

But we have 0% of the intelligence our planners have which may have them intentionally avoiding such moves.
I think the war is 100% needed. No one else was going to do it. That being said, here’s where I think it’s lost momentum.

- not killing regime comms. They still have eyes and are using Russia/china. Shouldnt happen.

- not killing regime propaganda and inserting our own. This is one of the biggest things keeping them in power

- not continuing decapitation strikes. Use Israel here.


- trusting/attempting negotiations with a regime whose existence is bent on destroying your way of life.


My two cents.
