how about "operation removal of malignant islamist regime" It won't affect the mid terms , the losers and traitors who refuse to support their democratically elected President will still be losers and haters .

It might even work against him , many people, even some supporters of President Trump are snowflakes and do not have the strength of character required to support military action,

This is interesting because I've been called a lot of things in this lifetime, but I've never been called a traitor before. Alot of my friends actually consider me to be quite loyal, but I guess because I don't agree with all of Trump's policies I'm also a traitor now.

So could you please explain to me how this works. Where can I turn myself in, and who should I turn myself into, so that I can be tried for sedition against my nation. Once I'm found guilty how will the punishment be carried out? Will it be through electrocution, or the gas chamber, or will it be boring old lethal injection? Perhaps they will they hang me? Perhaps I will be one of the first to be brought before the fascists newly formed firing squads? I need that information so we can proceed with my execution. You need to provide that and show us that you're a truly patriotic American.

Because "Operation biggest fustercluck the world has ever seen" was already taken?

The name likely derives from his Boy Scout leader pick as SEC Def, and the mutual level of impotency that both of them have to deal with on a daily basis.

I say, "Boy Scout Leader" - that is a bit unfair, the Boy Scouts generally have grown ups as leaders!

I agree that is unfair, he likely would not qualify as the leader of the San Diego Boy Scouts. They tend to stay away from very dull and minor former news hosts.

Apologies , it was a senior moment , I actually meant to write "losers and haters will still be losers and haters", "traitors" doesn't even fit , don't know where it came from I would have corrected it, but it by the time I noticed it was too late to edit,

I didn't expect anybody to take it so personally , your rant has taken being offended to the next level well done.

I must say , you are really getting the hang of this lefty thing , you have taken offence twice at the same word, once , briefly on behalf of everybody else, and then a few hours later when, spurred in to action by a couple of heart emojis, you boiled over, and had an "and another thing" moment , leading to a full blown meltdown

I actually don't consider people as traitors for not agreeing with presidents / prime ministers, How could I ? I'm from the UK ,

Interesting that you chose to take Umbridge only at the word "traitor" when there were 2 other opportunities for taking offence , I guess Its all a bit tiring , so feel free to keep the other two in the "offence arsenal" and use them at your leisure, no charge , the offence is on me, it's the least I could do under the circumstances

Maybe someone knows the answer to this.

We know about the enriching of nuclear material, which can be used to make nuclear weapons OR to make nuclear energy for electric power.

We haven't heard about a nuclear weapons manufacturing site.

We (that is, I) haven't heard of any nuclear power sites being constructed.

We know that high quality uranium enriching is needed by small power plants.

So where is the evidence that they were enriching for weapons use?

So the CIA have not seen fit to share what might be considered sensitive information with you? That's astonishing, it must be above your paygrade, but don't worry, somebody somewhere has a handle on what's going on , and remember absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence better safe than sorry

So start a war with the potential to lay waste to a large part of the globe, do untold damage to the world economy and kill very many people, but better safe than sorry eh?

You are right in as much someone somewhere has a handle on this. I suspect two handles actually, the inevitable distraction from the mounting evidence (only circumstantial because it is being energetically supressed) of Trump's involvement with Epstein's antics; and to destroy Iran's ability to export and market oil, to allow perhaps Venezuela (under Trump's benevolent control) to take it's place.

It would be somewhat bizarre if I did not understand my own analogy , Its not rocket science so i will endeavour to explain but before I do, let me clarify that I also have cancer and I did not use the analogy flippantly.

On receiving the diagnosis we have a choice whether to fight it or submit to it . none of us can fight it alone, medical assistance is required,

For your own reasons you appear to have chosen not to fight it and that's entirely up to you. Those of us who decide to fight it are well aware that the treatment will probably be very unpleasant, often more unpleasant that the symptoms of the disease, but on balance they consider it worthwhile , short term pain for (hopefully) long term gain, at least we all have the choice

The people of Iran, up until now have not had the choice to fight the oppressive regime, they could not do it alone, they tried but were slaughtered in the tens of thousands by the barbaric regime. now that they have some assistance from the US and Israel its a different matter, they can see the possibility of a brighter future , the light at the end of a very long and very dark tunnel.

They are well aware that there will inevitably be pain, but ultimately they are prepared to bear that pain, in the hope of a much better future for themselves, their children and their grandchildren. Just like cancer treatment , there are no guarantees, but they are prepared to give it a go and who can blame them? Can you even imagine what it must be like living under such conditions.

As an aside I doubt very much that they are particularly bothered whether the leaders of the countries helping to destroy the barbaric regime, are convicted criminals , or in contravention of some non existent international law , unlike some of the bed wetters on here.

One does not have to approve of Trump or Israel to support the liberation of a nation from an evil regime, it doesn't even matter if they have their own alternative reasons for doing so . After all my oncologist is not treating me out of the goodness of his heart or sincere concern for my survival, Its his job , he gets paid for it , it puts food on his table and a roof over his head, I don't even care if he's a raving leftist its totally irrelevant

Now an important Question, why will Usa get involved in Middle east? Is it because Iran got Oil, or not ? Thats a simple and fair question.

It Iran didnt have oil, do you believe Usa would be involved? The same goes for Iraq and Libya, and not forget Venezuela. Afghanistan rich on rare metal, and the list goes on

Greenland next becaue of how bad Denmark been to the Greenlenders? Free Greenland, and Island ?

I truly hope the Iranian people get what they deserve, and Iran is a country I hope to visit in future, so I do not condem the liberation of Iranian people, I do condem destabilation of countries out of wrong reasons.

Israel believes it to be true. I believe Israel.

Thanks. I still want to know if the enriched material was for weapons or power. This is simply that they are enriching uranium but no evidence of its end use.

None of us have any idea what the real reasons are behind all this , Its not like we are privy to the full intentions of the US all we have is our opinions. I doubt the liberation of the Iranian people was the primary objective, but hey what a bonus for them, Last night they were dancing in the streets of Tehran in celebration I am delighted for them

Well look at every other liberated country how they look now? Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. Job done ?

In Iraq and Libya Us got their companies in, but the state or states (Libya got two governments) are not democratic, but they are off the todays news. Not because the majority of the people is better off, it is just because the propaganda machinery is turned off, and now targeting other places.

Honestly, most conflicts in the world is turned a blind eye to, only a few get attention (propaganda) when there is something we want in return.

It is both a delicate and difficult question to answer, but knowing Trumps history, you can start wondering what is his motivation.

Remember this ? There is sevaral variants of this with Donald saying it over and over multiple times over time. Obama is always on his mind, even today, the peace price, Iran deal, and he did exectly what I said Ombama would do to save the election, ?

I know just as much as you

I have no connection to"MAGA" (although I see nothing wrong with the slogan , )

I am not even American

I am well aware that regime has not been overturned , hence my comment that Iranian people can see a real chance of being liberated

There are two Iranian guys, both muay thai "students" living near me and both are rather emotional about this to the point of crying tears of joy, how many Iranians have you spoken to ?

I am genuinely interested to know ,

Do you wish for the Iranian people to live their lives under such a barbaric regime?

Are you not concerned about the unbalanced, islamist regime achieving a nuclear capability?

Is it just your hatred of Trump that leads you to object to the military action?

How do you think the obvious threat posed to the rest of the world by Iran should be addressed ?

Don't even think of suggesting it can all be sorted via diplomacy , that is clearly as ridiculous as attempting to cure stage 4 cancer with aromatherapy

Finally, imagine the following scenario,

You take a boat trip and the unthinkable happens, the boat sinks and you are left floating in the sea, desperately clinging to a piece of wood .

Eventually you become exhausted and are close to drowning , but by a miracle a passing fishing boat spots you and comes to your rescue,

But you recognise the guy throwing you the lifeline, as a convicted criminal, who has a string of unproven allegations made against him on social media,

Would you grab the rope and be pulled to safety ? or would you refuse on principle?

I think we both know the answer

First of all, I am not a fan of the Iranian regime (niether are any of the other people against this war); however, I am not sure the Iranians will be "liberated" when thier country is blown to bits and their people are starving after our continuous bombing for 5 or 6 weeks. Additionally, Trump has already said that he is willing to work with surviving members of the Iranian regime if they will make a "deal" with him. Much like in Venezuela, where we removed Menduro (a government that was terrible for the people) but instead of helping them with a new election or bring back the democraticly elected leader, Trump made a "deal" (we know beneficial to him) with the vice president. So, the people of Venezuela get to keep the same <deleted>ty government, but US intrests are maintained. In that case Trump also promised he would liberate the people, so much for that. In our last endeavor in the Middle East to use military action to remove a tyrant and liberate the people worked out so well with Afghanistan. We "liberated " the people from the Taliban, continued to fight them for 20 years with lives wasted on both sides only to leave them with - even worse Taliban leadership. US intervention in regime change and promises to liberate the people never work out. Actually that is how Iran ended up with its current issues - the US removed a democraticly elected government in Iran, that wasn't giving us what we wanted, installed the Shaw, and the people revolted.

Actually many are, some of them are planning a march in london as we speak

Anyway thousands of Iranians are currently ecstatic, especially the women , who are dancing in the streets, They deserve a bit of happiness so don't pi$$ on their parade.the

I don't think Iran can be compared to other <deleted> muslim countries like Iraq or Afghanistan, The iranians have a bit more about them I think once the destruction of the regime is complete , they will sort things out for themselves, Iran has a much more developed sense of national identity Afghanistan and Iraq mainly populated by warring tribes ,

Iran would be nearly impossible for the likes of the taliban to control, I doubt the taliban would even bother trying

by the way it was the "shah " not the "shaw"

Is it really the job of America to nursemaid these countries ? America can only help liberate them from their odious regimes , but once liberated, these people need to accept responsibility for their futures. Personally I think Iran will not only merely survive , it will thrive, wait and see

So if he thinks starting a war means wining an election what does that ell you?

It suggests to me that he and his advisors believe that majority of the electorate are in favour of a war,

Somebody else suggested earlier that he started the war to distract everybody from taking too much interest in the "Epstein files" He must think the majority of the electorate are more interested in war , I know I certainly am but there's a few on here who won't be distracted for a millisecond , its fair to say they are obsessed.

There is a few quite interesting theories, some more conspiracy than others, but who knows ? The country have oil, is a trouble maker for Irael and Saudi and maybe thats it.

Distractions is always good for one thing or another,

I do not care anymore, and today my Country sends their navy to Cyprus. For what reasons we do not know yet.

Another news, someone who where working with Epstein Terje Rød Larsen and his secretary who had wider contact with Epstein and his network disappeared out of the blue years ago after Epstein was jailed, not digital traces or information. Not that she physically disappeared, now it appears she is working with the secret service In Norway. Not a conspiracy theory,,,,,,,,, facts

Are you actually serious, can you even begin to imagine how awful it must have been to live in under medieval islamist regime , people hung from mobile cranes in public , women imprisoned for showing their hair , What is it about people dancing for joy in the streets that you don't understand, I haven't condemned the "whole" country at all, How is that even possible ? I have condemned nobody , but I fully support the destruction of the barbaric sadistic regime as does every rightminded individual,
