Absolutely shocking what's going on in the World......I'm guessing Greenland will be left in Peace!

No fan of but you can't have one leader mocking an ally).

Starmer should fire back…"I may be no Churchill but your ain't no Obama""
A better comeback would "I'm not in the Epstein Files".

Why? Your mind is made up since birth. I was busy watching Iranians celebrating in the streets. I trust THEM more than YOU EXPERTS.

Yes I remember and I'm against War 100% of the time but I guess the Iranians that are celebrating know better than me too.

Ah yeah everything will be grand there now. How does this end exactly? Can you let us know what Israel want so we know what Donald will do?

I would say that with a near 100% Internet blackout, it's hard to know if Iranians who are actually on the ground in Iran are celebrating just yet.

The aftermath in Libya, Iraq and other places was hardly full of the joys of spring now was it?

There's a few thousand Persian exiles celebrating in the streets. There's 90 million Iranians in Iran most of whom believe in the regime they have.

Some are celebrating that's true but many others aren't. What will follow will be a bloody civil war that will last years, cost millions of lives and trillions in cash.

I was under the assumption the US and MAGA in particular were against US sticking their nose in abroad and young American soldier's returning in boxes….what happened in the last few months?

The Epstein files and Israel is what happened. It's with what's happening. The US public should be out on the streets going mad over all this.

Problem is people in the West have had this superiority complex for the last thousand years, last few hundred years especially, and assume that people from elsewhere in the world really want to be like us. We tend to look at life entirely from our point of view, using our standards and values. We are far from perfect ourselves.

But it turned them Countries into squabbling civil wars, no central Government etc etc.
Which is what the rogue State of Israel wanted.

I'm no fan of Israel at all but show me the other choice where they had no say in anything. I'll wait. I'd love to know what they have on ALL American Presidents including this one. This guy is the best of a bad bunch which tells you how bad the rest are. I don't know how it all ends but like I said the Iranian people seem happy.

I wonder if those unfortunate sailors on the warship sunk in international waters are dancing with joy on the sea bed. The one that your sec of war describes so sympathetically as "toast". Or the parents of the schoolchildren wiped out the first day.

Really? When did you take that poll? lol. Of course you believe in a regime when you have no choice.

The same part as you I suppose.

Oh for sure. I'm sure there are many decent ordinary Iranian people who were quite content living their lives the way they were. It's a simialr thing in Russia. Most Russians probably turn a blind eye to what's going on in Ukraine, let the powers that be do what they may, so long as they can live their own lives in peace.

We in the West might think that's no way to live, but it's easy for us to say way over here in our comfortable safety.

As I said I'm against War due to ALL the casualties not just the ones you cherrypicked. I hate War and wish Trump would have stayed out of it. He inherited Wars and now he's in one started on his watch. I'm not happy about it. I prefer when he's doing things like DOGE, securing a border, cutting taxes on Overtime, Social Security, and Tips, ending Insider Trading for members of Congress, deporting criminals that were asked to leave and even paid to leave in some cases, etc. but I've never gotten all I want from ANY elected official so I'm used to it by now.

I'm not claiming to know what's happening on the ground unlike yourself. Rubio admitted they attacked Iran as Israel were as well. Your posts are hilarious. He ran on no wars and fully releasing the Epstein files. He never shut up about them. He's a puppet for Israel and he has people running the military that are not qualified to do so.

There have been a few occasions when there was an opportunity to take to the streets to protest against the regime. It was mainly the younger more Western leaning people who did. The vast majority of Iranians didnt. Most Iranians are very devout Mualims. That is their choice, not ours to make.
