UAE cancelling residency of Iranian Islamist while the US invites them on over. When will westerners learn.
We have people posting on this board rooting for Iran to win a war against the US. Assuming that these folks aren't posting from their mum's basement in Beijing, I'd say the chance of them ever learning anything is about zero.

Have you considered that Trump may end up being more unpopular than democrats? Especially with the clusterfrick he’s engineered in Iran?
You've been here for 3 months, have approximately 130 posts, all but three of them on the Politics board. From what I've seen virtually every one of those is you somehow disagreeing with something Trump or Israel did or said. Whatever they may do or say in the future you will disagree with too. Just like the post quoted above; no thought or analysis, just your personal anti-Trump dogma repeated ad infinitum.
So there's no point in you asking other people here what they've considered. If they've spent one post actually considering anything, they've done more than you.

The Babylon Bee should do a story on Trump's inability to keep the enemy informed about what we know. If they do a good job, CNN might even run with it.

It's right in line with Ron and Randy. This dude was Ron's Foreign policy adviser from 2001. English degree from Berkeley. Ron Paul has always been phony. The MONEY flowed from DC to his district and not for public use, but private company use. Ron was a huge spender and why union members in his district voted for him. Democrat activists in Houston could never figure out why they couldn't get in a traction with so many union members there.
Interesting. I've been wondering why Rand Paul turned out to be such a political animal. If your take is accurate, he's just a chip off the old block (without the folksy, down home persona).

Analysts say Iran’s goal has long been “threshold state” capability, but the war may push hawkish voices toward advocating a bomb.
Why would anyone believe what those "analysts" say. If Iran was enriching uranium to 60%, they were building a bomb. Suggesting they were aiming for "threshold state", i.e., they wouldn't have completed the process if they hadn't been attacked, is political gamesmanship. The only way to stop them from acquiring nuclear weapons was and is destruction of their capability to do it.

Hopefully a Farsi version of that message has been published.
It probably wouldn't have any reach in Iran. Hell, the English version won't have any reach in the US, because most of our our news media won't make any attempt to disseminate it either.

I assume you're preaching back at the guy who said,

And then immediately began assigning blame and using pejorative adjectives. I agree, he repeatedly contradicted himself in the course of that short sermon.

Right or wrong, it seems like having this guy run the Ron Paul institute casts everything Ron Paul ever did or tried to do in doubt.

He just doesn’t want to come out and blame Trump directly.
No, he wants to speak out of both sides of his mouth. He muttered some BS and immediately contradicted himself.

This is where Iran was headed all along, with support from Russia and China, and it's why they could not be ignored.

People who think the events of the last 10 - 15 years are a new development just haven't been around long enough. This is exactly what the economist mag was like as far back as the 1980's. Non-stop anti-American propaganda.

Don't be intentionally obtuse. It adds nothing to the discussion. This is what was fact checked.

IRGC are claiming to have shot down a US F/A E Hornet which was conducting operations over Iran.
According to CentCom, it was a false claim.

I think Trump is making a mistake sending differing messages. He told them at the beginning to stay put and we would let them know when... Now Trump is saying a move by the people will be a massacre.
Worth remembering, we don't know what he's told anyone. We don't know if that "axios report" is accurate. The differing messages is not a mistake. Telling us what he really plans to do, and when, would be the mistake. If and when they need to make a public statement to the people of Iran, they'll probably do it directly, not through media intermediaries.
