More Iranian propaganda from China, the Tehran Tommies and Shanghai Sallies.

It's also being reported on CNBC, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, all of those commie sites.

Trump is taco-ing because of the stock market. Iran will control Hormuz and keep its MEU, plus still be run by Islamists.

But the important thing is Trump had a chance to play armchair warrior and blow up stuff, as well as have family and friends front run his own Tweets by playing obvious market moves-to-come.

Only the diehardest of MAGA fanboys still fail to grasp that Trump is all about playing psychopathic killer and filling his coffers with money from self-dealing. Some people never learn; that's why they're MAGAs.

I have asked you before and never got a proper answer!

I will try again,

You state above that you do not accept the WSJ and previously have stated your dislike of MSM.

Can you provide a short list of an "example" of the sources you do read and trust!

Please do not come back with your usual response that you are "NOT allowed to" post such info!

Asked and answered too many times. Are you senile or drunk ? By you, this month, again ...

Not the first time the media has sided with the enemy. Anyway, sh*t on the sidewalk doesnt become gold because 50 upright citizens magnify the rumour started by the homeless guy that it is

Got it. 88 million plus Americans are either psychopathic killers or idiots.

The enemy is the Israel and the US, with Trump in particular

Trump lost and now want to go home with his tail between the legs.

He F**ked up the strait with his illegal war, and now others who didn't have part in the war, need to clean it up.
This is not only the EU, the Middle East countries who can''t transport their oil, will also hate him for this.

"Iran has been, essentially, decimated," Trump posted on Truth Social, addressing other countries. "The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!"

Carry on boys, Hegseth just denied it on national TV, so keep spewing, bye.

PS, we are now dynamic targeting, 200 last night. That in and of itself shows end game

Actually his 'allies' have state their suspicions, along with AI analysis, and no other 'picture' note ever done before by Trump has surfaced, to point out, he has ever done such before. Believe or make up what ever you want. Now, back to the 'named' source about the OP ????

This snap from AI query ...

USA budgets about $1T (reported) on defense, along with about $100B on foreign aid, IMHO, from a quick google search.

Mute subject, as defense & debt is a national pastime for the elite, and best money stream.

Would be nice not sending folks to die, for senseless reasons, that don't benefit the USA.

I agree putting boots on the ground will result in the deaths of Americans, that's as certain as night follows day.

The only way I can see forward is for the Gulf States and Asia to negotiate a deal with the Iranians to re-open the Strait. The Iranians will demand all American bases in the region are closed. Possibly Asia as well.

I doubt that's the resolution Trump and his sycophants want. However, the rest of the world probably will ignore him. It doesn't take very long to starve Americans.

Trump thinks he can do anything with the backing of the world's most powerful military. IMO he would be better off sticking to the western hemisphere. Iran has just proved the emperor has no clothes.

How about posting your own opinion instead of regurgitating AI.

The wall st joirnal is citing someone within the administration. They are not the source. They are only reporting what a source said.

So again who is the source on record making the claim.

You can choose to believe or not believe the Wall St. Journal's reporting. They have an extraordinarily good record. And their editorial page is actually supportive of Trump's excursion.

Asking for a source has nothing to do with doubting anything. Nice try.

Frankly any Americans on this forum should delete their accounts in shame at the destruction of world markets school girls adults and everything else by their homicidal leader in the White House

We now in the UK have to pick up the pieces shattered by your lunatic. Thank you very much

I was under the impression USAID had been shut down.

I am assuming your use of the word "mute" instead of "moot" is a Freudian slip.

Trumps just shown what a coward he is no bottle. He has told the UK they can sort out the Hormuz Strait and get your own Oil. Caused a lot of Economic mayhem around the world frightened to unleash his greatest war machine on Iran and ended up crying off gutless, and a coward. Crawl back to Washington you made your countrymen an embarrasment around the World. As for getting Oil we have millions of it in the North Sea we just need to Drill it. How does it feel Yagoda being beated by Iran and running off.

so you believe Trump should announce all military plans to the world? Let everyone know what's going on?? LOL

This is a war, you dont let the other side know you plans. You make false statements to take them off guard, or do you believe Trump should tell Iran doesn't matter what you do we will open the waters up. Then what? Iran prepared and gets more aggressive.

This wasn't about Trump announcing his plans to the world. This was about a conversation he had with his staff. Anyway, what comments like yours are really about is leaving you leeway to support whatever Trump decides to do. It's all good, right?

Trump's moment of reckoning! 😆

something doesn't sound good and smells fishy, he keeps claiming Iran army, missiles, navy and all the other stuff, he claims Iran can not fight back, so where did Iran got the missiles that hit Kuwait oil tanker and the ones that hit the American base in Saudi, the missiles that keep blocking the strait, could it be that Russia, (Trump's bestie) is provided them to Iran along with the details where and when to use them because the do shoot less but anyone they send out it does hit the target(s)
