Trump Launches War On Iran

jmotivator said:
Interestingly, this strike came as a surprise to everyone due to the amazing lack of leaks of the operation to the press.

This was probably because Trump chose not to notify Democrat leadership and fired all of the top Pentagon Biden appointees.

False.

Removed some 30+ year career connected officeres predominantly associated or living DEI and the top legal officers of each major service, Army, Navy Air Force; and removed an intel commander. Trump removing the top legal officer of each major service and not replacing 'em indicates or suggests some illegal orders are in the works.

The dozens of generals and admirals at the Pentagon remain in place and stable. There is no "purge" occurring across the armed forces which Trump knows better than to try to do because it would incapacitate the armed forces and force their hand against him and his cabinet.

They knew Trump couldn't resist. Is it possible they moved their stuff? Are we sure those sites weren't just facades at the time of the bombing?

Hegseth said in the press conference that the "military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities was the result of “months and weeks of planning.”

Trump and Netanyahu had been planning this for months according to Pete.

I should have known.

A politically smart president would have armed Israel without sending our own military to Iran.

tRump proves again what an idiot he is. And how easily he is played.

It's not likely an enrichment facility was boxed up and moved.

The Israelis have one in the Negev, iirc, that no one talks about. Even after France (at the time, helping Israel) broke with Israel over Israel's proliferation, I think they just kept it there.

Stalinists amaze me.

They think food can read and that "Make America Great Again" is a person.

It's not just stupidity - but deep and severe mental illness driven by hatred and rage.

Sad

If that is so I can only say thank you US Republicans. It needed to be done, for the sake of the Near East and the entire world.

I don't agree. The last thing the world needed was another Republican war over a hoax.

UN watchdog says no increase in radiation off sites that the US hit

The International Atomic Energy Agency said Sunday that there has been “no increase in off-site radiation levels” after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The U.N. nuclear watchdog sent the […]

“The IAEA can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time,” it said. The “IAEA will provide further assessments on situation in Iran as more information becomes available.”

Either the bunker busters didn't reach the depths required to do their real work, or the material has already been moved to an undisclosed location.

In other words, this isn't over.

I’ve been hearing about nuclear war and how awful it would be if XYZ country had nukes…or how XYZ country that has nukes is bad my entire life.

And in that same lifetime, my country - the US - has engaged in how many different wars in the Middle East?

WMDs, nukes, terrorism, etc…all being the “reason”

And every.single.time we get told THIS TIME will mean peace.

Could you go be boring in a room all by yourself just for like five minutes? And put it away man. No one wants to see you do that in polite company. Sure, ideologically frottaging to all the imaginary Stalinists in your mom's basement is your right, but could you draw the blinds?

Not sure who y'all is.
But, No, not at all. I don't care too much for Trump at all. But here is one thing that looks like a correct action at this point.
 
Bullseye said:
They have (had) 330 centrifuges creating 90% uranium - far above any peaceful use. And those centrifuges run 224hrs a day. Get the point. Now bullshit play on Trump - he had the cajolnes to deal with the problem.

The point is they didn't have a nuke, don't have a nuke, was not going to have a nuke. But we have a new Middle East war based on a Republican lie because it's always the early 2000's with you guys when it comes to bombing brown people

It’s really the only way to confirm that these facilities are out of commission. One of them is inside of a mountain and the others are beneath at least 300 feet of solid granite. It’s unclear if even our most powerful conventional bombs can get at such facilities.

Pakistan formally recommends US President Trump for Nobel Peace Prize​


Last updated: June 21, 2025 | 17:32


The Pakistani government has decided to formally recommend US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership” during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.

In a post shared on X on Friday night, the government said the international community bore witness to unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression, which constituted a grave violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives, including women, children, and the elderly. https://www.gulftoday.ae/news/2025/...ly-recommend-trump-for-2026-nobel-peace-prize

So now we NEED to send Americans into harms way.

You volunteering to be the one to go? Or you just want to send someone else’s sons and daughters?
 
That's worrying. I may have to eat crow on an earlier statement, too.

Oh sure, and they've been plenty guilty in assisting Israel's genocide. However it seems Republicans need to drop bombs on brown people every couple of decades based on some imaginary threat.
