Iranians are Shia Islam, not the Sunni extremists. But you're too ignorant to understand that, so you hold on to this propaganda like its reality. No reason to bother debating this. Let's wait and see how it turns out. My bets are that you'll be wallowing in a hole of cognitive dissonance.

This is good to see. 75% "No" to supporting invasion. Ya'll have renewed my faith in humankind. Those 17% war-mongers unfortunately are cut from the same cloth as Trump, which I find concerning. And Trump isn't going to listen to the will of the common people who don't want war. And that is why the Republicans are going to get creamed in the mid-terms. If we collectively make it to the mid-terms.

Lately I've had a bunch of MAGA lovers label me as "Left-Wing." This time last year "Left-Wing" members were labeling me a Right-wing MAGA wing-nut. That's how wacko this entire idiocracy has become. It does go to show something. Unlike true Left-wing and MAGA ideologues, my opinions are not based on my politics. Far from it. My opinions are based solely on my sense of morality and right & wrong. The US/Israel bombing of Iran is an unprovoked war of aggression. And now he's planning to invade. So of course, I'm against that 100%. Anyway, so MAGA lovers are labeling the Left "Iranian lovers" now because when ideologues can no longer support an issue, the devolve into ad-hominid attacks. What a laugh. No doubt I'm now a "Leftie Iranian Lover." And OP, this has nothing to do with Iran getting a nuke. It 100% about Trump securing Iran's oil for the US and him personally profiting in the process...nothing else. Well, other than he'll want the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war he personally started. Trump is insane.

Like the "Pearl Harbor Surprise Attack" comment he made to Japan's Prime Minister when she visited the White House - Trump is a piece of work.

I think he's been off his Lithium tablets considering the whip-lash peaks and valleys of his emotional makeup. The old man is unhinged and plans to take the world down with him.

Trump says US will ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if Strait of Hormuz And Iran says it will obliterate desalination plants, energy infrastructure, and all US infrastructure, both military and civilian/economic, in the Persian Gulf and Israel in retaliation. Every strike Iran makes is a RETALIATION strike for unprovoked strikes by the US & Israel. I hate to say this, but Iran is the victim of this aggression. Iran is going to retaliate and escalate. Afterward, it won't matter if the Straits are "open" or not - there won't be anything of value to ship out for months to come. If you haven't bought oil stock - buy some on Monday while WTI is still sub-$100.

He'll fail, kill a large number of US military troops (none of them members of his family of course), and destroy his Presidency and the Republican Party in one fell swoop. And then will come Iran's retaliation. They have been saying this up to this point: "Hit us and we'll hit you back." Now Iran is flat out stating, "If you hit us, we WILL hit you back harder and we will hit very country in the region who are supporting your unprovoked war of aggression against Iran." Frame it in whatever US propaganda you like, but Trump's only goal has been to take Iran's oil. And Iran isn't going to roll over and let the US have their way with them. Nor should they. Unprovoked wars of aggression are war crimes and should be treated as such by the global community. The US has been at this globally since the day I was born right up to this moment - never ending wars of aggression against countries they feel they can push over - and now? They have met a country with peer capabilities who have been expecting this attack for four decades and have prepared for the last three. Iran has a plan - Trump and the US military are pulling their war plans out of their butt. They will fail. And the US economy is going to get hurt.

So say's Yagoda - AseanNow's chief US propagandist, MAGA-man, and war-monger extraordinaire .

And they keep doing it. The end result? Personally I think we're on the brink of a world war.

That would make me sad - not!

Make your own poll Einstein.

Trump eyes dramatic move to break Iran’s Hormuz blockade.....fool around, find out.

The End of Israel? It needs to become one state with equal representation for all ethnicities and religions instead of the ethnocentric suprematist apartheid state that it currently is now. Will this be the catalyst for it to happen? Maybe.

We've WON! We've OBLITERATE Iran. The world should help us. WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING HELP. We don't need the Straits of Hormuz. IF THE STRAITS AREN'T OPEN WILL WILL DOUBLE OBLITERATE Iran. We've 200% Won this WAR. This isn't a WAR. I Am The Greatest Leader In the World!!! blah blah blah yada yada yada...........

Russia Plotted Faked Assassination Attempt On Orbán To Sway Vote Of course they did. The WaPo propaganda arm of the US State Dept told you so.

If Trump destroys the world economy with this action, "regime change" may come to the Western countries promoting the war on Iran, as well as those who promote unprovoked invasions of countries that the US wants to steal natural resources from by force of arms.

Although some of these pro-war members fathers may have been in WWII, I'd bet that the vast majority of them never served in the military themselves, nor are any of their own children serving in the military now, or will be in harm's way when the situation explodes into a world war. Yet they'll be the first to call for things like "Carpet Bombing" Iran or even dropping nukes on them. Hypocrites one and all.

Lieutenant Colonel (Carpet Bomb) KhunLA "...smells like - victory." https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rlzcEZ71Lj8?feature=share

Congressional Representative Hakeem Jeffries calls for "regime change" in the United States. https://x.com/RepJeffries/status/2035348529544118298 Well, I fully expect "regime change" in the US will occur on Nov 3rd 2026.

So goes the conspiracy theories and faery tales.

You sound like Gen Curtis Lemay. My father was personal friends with Lemay so I heard all of that during Vietnam. "Ahhhggggrrr - carpet bomb North Vietnam!" Hell, Lemay bragged that there were virtually no building left standing in North Korea when the fighting ended and the line drawn at the 38th parallel, yet look at the DPRK now. Bombing just p***es off those being bombed.

According to a Reuter's poll, sending US military ground troops to invade Iran is not widely supported. But how about you dear AseanNow members? Tell us why and support your opinion.

Translated: Make life as difficult as possible for the average citizen using the excuse of saving Thailand from the evils of money laundering. Essentially this creates so much financial fog that it clouds the mega transactions associate with those actually engaged in laundering money. Anyway, all those who launder money need to do is find a willing bank. Making every citizen prove that their meager deposits and withdrawals aren't "money laundering" just obfuscates the entire system and over-burdens the banks. From a Grok search: List bank that have been cited for money laundering in the last 20 years. Wachovia Bank (acquired by Wells Fargo): Laundered ~$378–380 billion linked to Mexican drug cartels (2004–2007); fined $160 million in 2010. HSBC: Facilitated laundering for drug cartels and sanctioned entities (~$881 million+ admitted); fined $1.9 billion in 2012; repeated issues in FinCEN Files (1999–2017 leaks). Danske Bank: Processed ~€200–234 billion in suspicious transactions via Estonian branch (2007–2015), mainly Russian/ex-Soviet funds; fined ~$2 billion+ in settlements. Deutsche Bank: Involved in Russian "mirror trades" (~$10 billion laundered) and other schemes; multiple fines (e.g., $630 million in 2017); flagged in FinCEN Files. Standard Chartered: Processed transactions breaching sanctions and with AML failures (hundreds of millions to billions); fined $1.1 billion in 2019 (cumulative). JPMorgan Chase: Moved funds tied to illicit activities (e.g., 1MDB-related, Venezuelan/Ukrainian corruption); flagged in FinCEN Files for large volumes. TD Bank: Major AML failures enabled hundreds of millions in laundering (including narcotics); pleaded guilty and fined ~$3 billion in 2024. Goldman Sachs: Facilitated 1MDB corruption/money laundering scheme; fined ~$2.9–7.2 billion (multi-jurisdiction) around 2020. BNP Paribas: Violated sanctions (processed billions for Sudan/Iran/Cuba); fined ~$8.9 billion in 2014. Swedbank: Processed ~$135–148 billion in suspicious Baltic transactions (overlapping with Danske); fined in multiple jurisdictions post-2019 revelations.

Won't do any good. Band-aide on a bullet wound.

17 FPV drones and they are gone. Thailand should pick its friends wisely. According to Henry Kissinger, "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal," as the GCC states hosting US bases are now finding out. I would not doubt that at all.
