Well that and a President who whole legislative program is collapsing faster than his poll numbers.

A military strike on Iran as a distraction and means to rally support.

 

It does nothing to make Americans.

 

 

Good thing America voted for the peace felon president.

You can have your good laugh -- for some reason Trump is not definitively claiming that the bunker busters were used if they in fact were.

 

Trump wrote: A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,”

Why were B2's used? You're simply arguing for the sake of arguing and ignoring the bleeding obvious. It was no secret that the B2's would be using the MOP's.

No mention of Hegseth pre warning on Signal?

They won't other than diplomatically. China will kick up a fuss because of the oil.

The baseless and libelous accusations of supporting terrorists have arrived already.

President Trump could potentially be impeached for bombing Iran without congressional approval, as it may violate the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress the sole power to declare war (Article I, Section 8). The War Powers Resolution of 1973 further requires presidential notification to Congress within 48 hours of military action and limits such actions to 60-90 days without congressional authorization.

The point he’s making is you are assuming stuff for which no confirmation has been given.

Yep. the two weeks of which there were many comments about from the usual suspects on here was a diversion. No way he could give them two weeks. As for those TACO commenters now's your chance to admit you were wrong.

I'm not arguing anything: Just again stating that there has been no confirmation that those bombs were used.

US stations around 40,000 troops in the region. Not only Iran, but one of its proxies in the region, the Houthi rebels in Yemen has said it will strike American ships that are passing through the Suez canal down the Red Sea.

 

Though President Trump had called on Iran to "end this war", this war might just be starting.

Wouldn't thus include all the drone strikes by the last number of presidents ?

So Trump bombs another country, then states, "Now is the time for peace." I wonder if the Iranians feel the same way.

I don't know how I could be more angry right now, what a disaster.
Trump just shattered his political coalition ... 

There are so many risks, a broader regional conflict, global oil market chaos not to mention dragging the likes of the other global superpowers into taking sides with Iran.

Americans don't want another forever war, but here we go. Buckle up. 👿

I’m of a mind that it was a blunder to kill the nuclear agreement with Iran I just don’t think we would be here now,with that being said this is trumps war pure and simple he put the inevitable direction to this conclusion (I’m sorry I’m not expressing that in a more articulate manner) this is the result I wish it was otherwise….bombing a nation tends to unify that nation.ah well I hope it’s over with quickly and successfully.

I agree the Iranian government is evil and is the author of much of the terrorist activity quite possibly much more now because it’s the only way they can realistically strike back..I hope they sink the Iranian navy now because if they close the straights of Hormuz that’s going to exert a lot of economic pressure worldwide along  with the terrorists attacks we know are coming.here at home we have (to put it mildly) incompetents in charge of the institutions that keep us safe along with the (administration) terrorizing the career agents…..that bodes ill …..all we can do is see how it all plays out.hope it’s quick and successful.

Closing the Strait of Hormuz will never happen with 2 carrier groups in the region.

That IS the silver lining - MAGA is going to splinter in half, mouths foaming and spitting venom at each other. Time to invest in popcorn.

 

BTW, off topic but speaking of popcorn:

The busters weren’t necessarily deployed. Could be a cunning ploy to let Iran know the US is willing. That said, what’s the point? They may as well have. 
 

Just wish the guy would stop with his posting of schoolbol comments on his social media site. Just pure CRINGE. You’re the president f.fs!

Sure mate. Then why don't you tell us what type of bomb, other than a tactical nuke, could take out (possibly, we still don't knowhow effective these hits were) the heavily fortified enrichment facility buried 80-90 metres under a mountain and protected by rock and UHPC. Any ides?

I believe the problem is there never was a nuclear agreement, just the framework:

They probably should, lest they get properly spanked. That shyster regime doesn’t speak for Iranians btw.

History would ask, should US tourists and expats be worried about their safety?

US military dependents were advised to move away from some bases already so a heightened state of alert certainly.

I hope they have sunk their navy and submarines,I don’t know how competent they are but they might get lucky we do know they are willing to sacrifice their lives for their country/religon.btw I agree with you  2 carrier task forces !!that’s a lot of wip ass delivered by professional competent people.
