With the expenditure of missiles, rockets, ships, and men, all being funneled into the Middle East, and all of America's super-carriers on station there (Well, the USS Gerald Ford, the biggest and baddest, has already been put out of commission and is at drydock getting repaired, so out of action anywhere), it makes me wonder...

Is the timing right for Russia, China, and North Korea to come together to invade the USA?

On that... Greece apparently made them not welcome, so carrier moved from Crete to Split, Croatia... seems they weren't overly welcome there either as they were asked to leave just 2 days later, according to Croatian media. Wonder what's going on...

Maybe Western Europe will join in with Xi, Kim and Putin against the US.

No.

According to 'US Intelligence,' the Russian army is failing to motivate its soldiers, North Korea is a failed country too, but... can we still believe anything that comes out of the US intelligence community? We know we can't believe trump.

Both still have the capability, especially if the other smaller countries that have been recently screwed over by trump join in.

No doubt they would likely be successful as America is quite distracted at the moment with a failing war, and over taxed with its ridiculous budget.

Let us hope it doesn't happen. Though would certainly be one way of getting rid of Trump once and for all.

No it’s not time for an invasion.

However Trump has given the green light on illegal wars of aggression.

Leaders who plan much better than Trump could ever do will take their time before enjoying the license Trump has handed them.

It is not a good move to invade a country with nukes anywhere in the world.

Oh, how refreshing... those three “bad boys”: Xi, Kim and Putin, suddenly look like absolute saints when placed next to the current genius. What a remarkable downgrade.

This moron makes us all look like idiots, which makes it an easy takeover when they look, behave, and speak more rationally than most major Western leaders.

There are a few exceptions, but what a F chicken farm the West has become.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb is the only real light in our part of the world — a man of respect, integrity, and intelligence. He is truly world-leader material.

I absolutely agree with that, but sometimes hubris, arrogance and an excessive amount of chest thumping can have a very blinding effect, especially on a very ignorant man and his sycophantic cohorts, who have done everything in their power to abandon independent thinking, and wear knee pads 24/7.

Nope.

Pretty sure the rest of the world is looking to November to end this madness.......if not, then they will tough it out for two years and just wait the adults to take back control.

That's a very correct observation, and Trump has done an incredible job of pushing our allies and adversaries away, and pushing them towards China and dramatically increasing China's influence, and making them look like a reliable and trustworthy ally, which was something that nobody would have imagined just a few short years ago.

Disaster Don. Precipitating the decline of the empire on a daily basis.

Yes , it is time for an invasion of israel.

Take that country out and 90 % of ME problems are gone.

Followed with a coup that purges all israel influence

Interesting idea.....no Israel......that would seem to solve a lot of conflicts.

No nation on Earth is going to invade the United States. The only invaders coming across the borders are illegal migrants when Democrats control the White House.

However, if would be a prime time for China to repatriate the breakaway province of Taiwan, and for Russian to open up and massive offensive to finish taking the Donbass and Odessa.

Which is exactly why Iran should use their uranium to make 10 or so nuclear bombs and a deterrent against the nuclear-armed invaders, the United States and Israel. You hit the nail on the head on why nuclear non-proliferation will soon be tossed in the global trash-bin. It's the only way to deter nuclear-arm aggressor nations with the US and Israel at the top of that list.

It's well known by all consumers of US main-stream media that Russia soldiers are eating bugs and resorting to cannibalism. Well, at least those on the Left side of the IQ bell-curve believe that. Oh, and their missiles are made out of North Korean washing machine part. Everyone knows that too. 100% proven "Truth."

The major point within your post is that the US has been substantially weakened by this war, and it will be years before it regains the same level of strength it had 27 February 2026. Even if the war ends, the US stays weak for years....and for what? Another Ayatollah Khamenei and fewer allies? It doesn't seem that the war was treasure well spent.

Despite the lackey Kevin Hassett claiming "energy prices will come down much faster than anyone thinks" (he knows that how? A Ouija Board? A Fortune Cookie?), higher energy prices have barely begun to filter through the economy. When they do, inflation will jump.

Also, with 15,000 sorties and Cruise missile launches into Iran, plus the daily use of Patriot and THAAD systems to defend against Iranian missiles and drones, US weaponry is severely depleted. Those weapons and systems are not built overnight. It will take years to replenish. what Trump fired off. Years. Oh, and lots of money the US doesn't have and must turn to foreigners to borrow.

Another thing that will take years, if it's even possible, is to repair the damage done to relationships with allies. Speaking on a TV panel show, former SecDef Mattis said he thought a minimum of 10-20 years, maybe a generation, for the US to be trusted again by the nations it has partnered with to keep the world safe and prosperous for the last 80 years.

Again, what did the US get for Trump's war of choice? Nothing, Absolutely nothing.

Errr... I think your leader told us, on live TV, that he 'completely obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities a few weeks ago.

obliterate

obliterated; obliterating

1a: to remove utterly from recognition or memory

b: to remove from existence: destroy utterly all trace, indication, or significance of

Do you suppose he could have been lying to the American people?

I tell you what. I Russia, China, and the DPRK invade the United States, I'll fly back and join a militia to fight them.

The ship spent a total of 8 days undergoing repairs in Greece and Croatia:

https://news.usni.org/2026/04/02/carrier-uss-gerald-r-ford-departs-croatia-after-liberty-additional-repairs

Fortunate to have been allowed that long as both countries, as neutrals, were entitled/obliged, under the Hague Convention 1907, to intern it as a "belligerent" after 24 hours.

If there was any encouragement from either country for the ship to be on its way it would have been because, in allowing it to stay for 3 days in Greece and 5 days in Croatia, both countries have now made thmselves perfectly legitimate targets for Iran.

Well, you better get back soon as there probably will not be any flights back available the way things are going.

Trump should admit that he made a gross mistake in allowing Nethanyau to start this war. Israel is now facing complete defeat with Iran proving that their defensive shield is useless. Iran could , if it wished become the great peacemaker in the middle east and here's how.

1. Declare ALL hostile acts against all countries stopped indefinitely under the following conditions signed by all the countries in the United Nations.

2. .ALL hostilities against Iran to stop immediately

3. ALl sanctions against Iran be lifted immediately with Iran agreeing to go back and allow unlimited inspections regarding their enrichment programs and for Iran to declare that they are NOT SEEKING TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF ANY KIND NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

4. America is to remove all its military hardware from its bases in the middle east.

   Israel agrees to the "Two states solution" and to remove all its illegal settlements from what is Palestian homeland and to agree to live in peace with its neighbour's from now on and if it breaks this agreement it will be enforced by the United Nations task force and have severe sanctions imposed upon it until it complies.

5. Iran agrees to a non proliferation pact with ALL the middle eastern countries and to get all its proxies to do the same with immediate effect.

6. Iran guarantees the free and unreserved rights of unrestricted passage through the Straits of Hormuz for ALL the world's shipping.

7. Iran will invite all the countries of the world to join them in a non religious, non sectarian union to forement peace and stability not just in the middle east but throughout the world where ALL countries work TOGETHER with their own strengths to alleviate poverty around the world instead of spending horrendous amounts of money each day on weapons which they don't need when they live in peace.

8. All the signaturies to the above pact agree that all "faiths" will be allowed to practice their "Faiths" without hindrance or suppression provided that they do NOT act in bad faith against others or the laws that govern the country that they reside in.

9. ALL the signatories agree to meet at least once a year in rotating countries to discuss the problems that face humanity and to try (seriously)) to find MUTUAL solutions that can be implemented quickly

10. Iran is a huge country with natural resources that can benefit all of the countries of the world. The Iranian people come from a highly educated and sophisticated background that can enrich other cultures and I feel dure that their one greatest wish is to live in peace and harmony with ALL people in the world. Let's ALL of us strive to make this a reality.

11. Peace to all of you who read my reply.

Europeans on here bashing Trump.

Should we go down a list of everything wrong with these European countries?

Not many countries have all their sh*t together.

Maybe Norway is better than most, but the US is -- whether you like it or not -- a "world police" country. Not saying it should be or that's a good thing. But it's not like other countries in that respect.

They would, if they could, but they can't, so they won't. This may come as a surprise to you, but Russia will not win this war.
