Breaking! The US just bombed Iran

Times reporting it

CNN too

MAGA gonna lose its shit

Goddamn him

Hold me, David.

Trump on Truth Social:

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

un huh. You said americuh first

Thank you for your attention to this matter. What a stupid catch phrase

The idiot can’t even get the spelling of Frodo right. And what’s with the ALL CAPS?

I think he believes that this will lock in the Nobel Peace Prize.

Jeremy Diamond on CNN has disappointed me. He’s referring to Trump’s “headfake” like he’s a frigging genius. He’s practically licking Trump’s shitter. But I’ll take into account that CNN is really not much better than Fox News these days.

If Rubio is now Spanish for Kissinger, does that mean Trump is Spanish for Dumbass?

Thank you Israel

Well perhaps World War 3 might curb MAGA population growth.

R9

It’s actually Fordo, I believe.

I didn't vote for this?!??

"Thank you for your attention to this matter" like this isn't a request for past due invoices.

Oh Christ.

R15 legit laugh out loud there thank you, the post and your signature.

Thank you JESUS!!! Thank you our lord and savior JESUSS for protecting President Trump, for my husband who is my earthly king and working. a double at the plant tonight, for my beautiful kiddos- Kaleigh, Corrbin, Castley, and Jethro.. and to our 14 Pit Bulls.

God IS GOOD!

Gen Z—do they have it in them to be the greatest generation 2?

OP was clearly in "chock" and nearly "canatonic"!

Here go hell come!

[QUOTE]planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.

BOMBS! Ya mean not Jolly Rancher candy and "Please surrender!" pamphlets?

I'm going to send a strongly worded letter!

Schumer is secretly ecstatic

Well, this makes Iranians want to kill Trump even more.

OP, what the fuck are you even saying?

Meh.

He only bombed nuclear facilities.

It's not like the US just bombed Tehran.

I think this is much ado about nothing.

Iranians didn't try to kill Trump. Lol. But there's a lot of evidence that two of the shooters had deep Ukrainian ties. That didn't get much press

R29 “lol”

Oh, dear

R28 what matters is what the Iranians think

Probably have a different view

Thank...you.... for.... your....attention.... to..... this.... matter.

He uses this all the time. It's demented. He bombed a country and he talks like a memo from Human Resources Office.

R28 Time will tell. If this escalates or plays out in some more serious way, I do hope you'll admit what a kook you were this Saturday afternoon.

Hope Iran retaliates by bombing Mar-a-Lago

FEE FY PHO FUM

HERE GO HELL COME!

For those wondering about “here go hell come”

I'm concerned!

No, really!

Everything's entertainment to R28

That couldn’t have been more obscure, OP.

I think he thinks life will be just fine for him when it's world War 3 and he's safe and sound while the rest of us are nuked. He's such an idiot he has no idea of the hell he will have to live through.

I think we are all in BIG trouble.

Well, there goes the Nobel Peace Prize.

R38, but appropriate.

B-2s are fucking awesome.

R38!1 ROTFLMAO

Fuck you bitch, we have all seen that video!

Here Go Hell Come is literally the meaning of:

If you know

r40 Oh, please - he will still get it.

r43 "literally"

Oh, dear.

[Quote] NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

He said, right after bombing a foreign country.

MAGAs. Do they ever not gaslight?

Oh Jesus, I am now Winona Ryder in Reality Bites-

Oh deer.

Get fucked once in your life, R45

R44 is probably right, because nothing matters anymore. The stock market will shoot to the moon for some reason next week. Empathy is cruelty. Up is down. War is peace.

[Quote] Meh.

[Quote] He only bombed nuclear facilities.

Ah, so if the vombers of a rival country flew over the USA and bombed Livermore Labs and Los Alamos and several U.S. nuclear facilities, you’d be fine with that and say “meh?”

I was CONCERNED!

But now? Meh!

R48, it was insane for Trump to do it.

But he did it to Iran, and I’m kinda sorta …

People who live in nyc and dc should exercise some caution. The Ukraine war has demonstrated how easy it is to use cheap drones to devastating effect.

And Iran might not have a bomb, but they have nuclear material and could absolutely build a dirty bomb.

LA might be a target too, because there’s a large Iranian population there. They’re mostly refugees from the Islamic republic, but a population that large is ripe for infiltration.

Be careful, folks. No need for hysteria of course.

and a large filthy Russian pop in NYC.

Self-immolation by women is also a big issue in Iran, morbidly enough

The enriched uranium is probably secretly stored somewhere, though it looks like spies can easily penetrate the Iranian government. That is what happens when the regime is full of hatred towards its people.

Daddy?

Just an observation, a little off topic: Putin absolutely did not want the US to do anything to Iran. If Trump is a Russian asset, this action is off what his "assignment" would be.

💩 heads

I was thinking the same thing about offsite storage, R56, especially in a mountainous country.

R56 R60 First formal reaction from Iranian officials: "we had already moved all material from these three sites. They were empty."

I guess the question now is whether there will follow up with a tactical nuclear weapon.

Oh fuck, wasn’t Dump the one who constantly criticized Biden for arming Israel and who said that no wars were going to happen under his expertise and guidance?

The ORANGE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR lied once again, amazing.

On the orher hand, he might have to abandon the white house right now and hide for his life if this war escalates, Iranians aren’t just going to get slapped and not slap back, Iran isn’t Iraq.

So blowing up stores of enriched uranium - I guess the dirty bombs are just a bonus.

Iran: “Psych!”

Fuck Trump!

Putin is limited in what he can actually force an American President to do. And Putin is in a weak position right now. It does not surprise me that Trump feels comfortable going against Putin's wishes on this.

Now, if you want some Russian ties exposed, look at the reaction of Tucker Carlson, MTG, etc. They have been huge Trump supporters on everything, until it came time to bomb Iran. They are in the pockets of Russia (and possibly others) for sure.

I recall sits ins at Columbia protesting President Biden as a war criminal for supporting the state of Israel.

Hell no!

Michigan Arab Trump voters must be ecstatic.

[Quote] I guess the question now is whether there will follow up with a tactical nuclear weapon.

Iran is probably not in a position to do that yet.

Multiple observations:

- Y’all know Dump only did this because you all started TACO, right?

- That said, I don’t hate that we did this. I despise Iran and want their nuclear program destroyed. At any cost.

- THAT said, I hope it all backfires on Trump and damages him as deeply as possible.

- My biggest worry? Iran bought a nuke from North Korea. And has it poised to drop on Tel Aviv.

Sum Ting Wong r69!

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Terrorists, if you are reading this, LA and NYC did not vote for Trump.

Take your dirty bombs and drone strikes to Texas and Florida.

“ Michigan Arab Trump voters must be ecstatic.”

Indeed. Lots of Arabs LOATHE the Persians, though largely on sectarian lines.

Iran is very dumb to say it was empty if in fact it was so. That just encourages the US to go back again and topple the Ayatollah. That makes me think it wasn't empty and they are lying, knowing full well that some people in the US would eat up that propaganda as it makes Trump look bad.

Also,, Israeli intelligence is the best in the world (better than the US even), and they thought there was nuclear material at these sites. Israeli intelligence has been correct about almost everything when it comes to Iran including where all the important scientists were. I doubt they don't know where the uranium is.

R71 - Whether the U.S. will use one! Some military folk advising Trump said the bunker busters are probably not enough to bore deeply enough into the earth to get to the uranium.

r74 But not Naples, please - my mom lives there. Let them focus on Mar a Lago area

In the tug of war over Trumps tiny little shriveled brain, Bibi finally won over Putin

I'm usually not "OH, MARY!" but this is going to fuck us up. Avoid large crowds for a while.

Iran is not as strong as the USA, but they aren’t as helpless as the Palestinians.

They won’t just watch their country get destroyed without retaliating, and like I said they might get some undercover/discrete help from Russia,China, North Korea and Pakistan because these countries all label themselves as anti-imperialistic and anti-western.

If they think that helping Iran will undermine US’ status as the economic leader of the world, that’s what they will do.

This attack wasn’t even Congress approved, but the Orange fucker did it anyways.

Will he send Baron to fught for his cause, or is it always OTHERS who should risk their lives for billionaire pigs like him?

Trump hasn’t been President for 6 months and we’re already at war with Iran. What will the next 3 years bring.

Bibi’s bitch.

[QUOTE]Iran bought a nuke from North Korea. And has it poised to drop on Tel Aviv.

I don't think Iran has the planes to deliver one.

Wonder how the Repub politicians who praised Trump for exercising restraint by giving two weeks for a solution before he might bomb must feel. They made fools of themselves on national media. How many of them will now sing his praises for acting immediately?

R83, remember, when we all said it was Putin who held the strings?

The majority of Repubs will support him but a part of MAGA Will rebel. The true isolationists will hate this.

R84 Hope not.

The fever of war is often disgustingly bipartisan

You're so full of 💩

[QUOTE] Will he send Baron to fught for his cause, or is it always OTHERS who should risk their lives for billionaire pigs like him?

What soldiers want to be on a battlefield with Gomer Barron? He’d probably have his rifle pointed in the wrong direction.

[Quote] My biggest worry? Iran bought a nuke from North Korea. And has it poised to drop on Tel Aviv.

Where to even start?

Iran has more sophisticated nuclear science than NK.

Iran would not build a “bomb.” How would they deploy it? Bombs are dropped by aircraft.

Alright calm down everyone. Russia is busy, North Korean nukes are more of a danger to the launcher than the receiver, and China is more interested in a drawn out war than Armageddon. So long as this war is limited to air power its just a waste of money more than anything.

R93 taking a stroll down the primrose path

R92 Hope you’re right.

The buffoon in chief will be on the tube at 10pm

your observations EXCLUDE tacos burfday army parade being a limp and laughable affair. Mel could not keep a smirk off her face.

I would be more worried about terrorist attacks than war with any of the majors. Russia and China often help out and work with Iran to some extent, but China rarely gets directly involved with anything and Russia is really in no position to get involved right now. Even their behind the scenes help is going to be severely limited cause they need everything for themselves. Iran may fire at some of our sites in the middle east, but I don't see any of the big boys joining them. Terrorist attacks is what we should be most concerned about.

R86 - While that cartoon is true, I'm afraid because I'm not really sure any country involved directly or indirectly has a decent grasp of any strings in this situation. This is unknown territory, for the most part. And remember, thanks to Laura Loomer and Trump’s paranoia, our NSC is now short of over 100 staffers who likely had valuable expertise and knowledge.

But, we did have a cabinet secretary who did some preparatory drills yesterday.

[quote] How many of them will now sing his praises for acting immediately?

All of them. Why would a Republican ever choose consistency over whoring for Trump and the Cult?

Our enemies laugh at us.

Well, a few things here. Iran was probably close to making a bomb or had already made it, except they have not tested it. A lot of the work is done by computer simulations, so they probably have a good idea of how to make it work and yield, etc. The Iranian education system is very good, and they are very smart people like everywhere. They probably have kept away enough enriched uranium to make a few bombs. They may be scattered around the country. It is a big country, and many eastern parts are too far for Israeli forces to reach. And Israel, though having an excellent spy network, still has to deal with equally smart people. Not everyone is a sellout, even if they hate the regime. So my guess is they will rise once this over. If they master how to miniaturize to deliver by missiles, they will threaten Israel. The mullahs don't want a Jewish state in their midst. I am very ambivalent about the Israel thing. I mean originally the Ashkenazi came who are definitely European but now a lot of middleast Jews live there. So it is their home meaning its like creating a home for all the middleeast Jews.

Why are people even discussing Russia and China? Neither is in a defensive alliance with Iran. That would be a fools errand for Russia or China.

[Quote] European but now a lot of middleast Jews live there. So it is their home meaning its like creating a home for all the middleeast Jews.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Remember when people were just upset that they had to pay for him to golf every weekend?

your observations exclude your orange god overstepping his authority. but as he is your god, his authority is limitless.

I’m still upset about that as well, r105. What’s your point?

I remember the outage directed against President Biden for offering support to Isreal after 10/6/24.

R102 Watch the show Tehran on AppleTV. Fascinating exploration of the depth of Mossad into Iran.

Per the BBC:

[Quote] The US reached out to Iran "diplomatically" on Saturday to say the strikes are all it plans to do and that "regime change efforts are not planned", according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.

Aka, “we only plan to bomb you a little.”

The us did not reach out to iran. orange did.

Fuck

Dem IL Rep Casten: This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense

I’m not saying we have the votes to impeach. I’m saying that you DO NOT do this without Congressional approval and if Johnson doesn’t grow a spine and learn to be a real boy tomorrow we have a BFing problem that puts our very Republic at risk.

R112 is Corky from LGO.

I am waiting for it to be declared a war criminal by the same who condemned President Biden for supporting the state of Israel.

There’s no evidence that Iran was close to making a nuclear weapon. Iran is no threat to us. There’s no way to rationalize this. This is just epically stupid, cruel and destructive. We are, country by country, reducing the Middle East to a wasteland of rubble.

At my gym, a eunuch has several televisions tuned to Newmax. It declared Fox News irrelevant, so it's worshipers no longer tune into Fox.

How much is Kegsbreath drinking right now?

R116 If your country’s motto is “Death to America” and you claim even worse thoughts at Israel, you forfeit the right to even touch uranium. Fuck you and your nuclear program deserves to be destroyed.

maga mike will not uphold the constitution. You dont understand they dont give a fuck about American democracy?

[qupte] No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress

The problem with that is the modern world s so interconnected even before you get to a compromised legislature "imminent threat" is a pretty wide open definition.

R33 - in all seriousness, it would be so satisfying if they did that. I would want it to be empty at the time, because I don't want anyone (even Trump) to actually be killed, but imagine if Trump FINALLY experienced some first-hand consequences for his actions. As things stand, he's just caused disaster after disaster and hasn't suffered at all on a personal level. Mar-A-Lago and Trump Tower are probably the only things in the world he truly cares about.

I blocked your russian whore ass skank

Whenever the West gets involved in Middle Eastern conflicts, it always ends so well for everyone involved.

"death to America"?

[quote]Take your dirty bombs and drone strikes to Texas and Florida.

But not the blue areas like Houston, Dallas and Austin. Take them to the MAGA shitholes like Amarillo, Abilene and Tyler.

‘If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace’

Anyone want one of the "No war with Iran" shirts Tulsi was selling in 2020? 😃 😀 😄 😁

Listened for a few seconds before I couldn't take anymore. I agree with the decision to take out the nuclear sites, but I don't need to hear the guy talk about it in his usual way. Anything important I can learn about after.

Who is the taco now,

Baby, I swear it's deja vu

Whaas duh prise of aigs

OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical 1h

I would not want to be on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz right now.

Very difficult hours ahead as the US and other Gulf nations look to secure shipping.

Roughly 3 dozen large oil tankers are making their way through the Strait of Hormuz at the moment.

"No kings, huh"?

“We love you God”

The shitstain actually said this at the conclusion of his speech.

Has Whoopi Goldberg commented?

R119, in their country they can say and think whatever the hell they want. It’s insane to think we can kill people because they hate us.

And why aren’t we helping Ukraine, a country being attacked by an actual nuclear power? Oh, right, that would be hard.

This aged well. . . .

This should be a US Constitutional crisis— Congress is supposed to authorize a war action like this.

Dee. Miss Plorable at R136- Sound like you are from OHIO- God's country-

Our leader and child of god President Trump has increased the price of eggs by $2.00 a dozen.

He needed to do this to take away any and all rights of sinners and those criminal immigrants.

They will be down to .99 a dozen once all of these sinners and criminals are REMOVED from the country. And those sinful books!

"We", meaning me, love "God" also meaning me. I am God. I am the truth and the light. God is not mocked. No kings? 🌮 ? How do you like me now?

Congressional authority? I don't need congressional authority. Votes? I don't need your votes either. King? I am not a king. I am your lord and saver. Kneel.

What are you guys talking about just a facility?

Wasn’t Pearl Harbor a facility?

Hello God, are you listening?

It’s me, TACO.

They are euphoric and in total hero worship mode all over RW media tonight.

So glad I voted for the peace candidate! Oh, wait...

R149, people think killing and destroying things is great. It makes you “powerful.” It goes without saying that no one we are killing meant anything or had a life worth living. People will be feel triumphant about this for a long time. Once we buy into a war we stay bought in for a long time.

worship 🌮

Trump SPEAKS LIKE IDIOT after Bombing Iran

“But her emails!”

But Biden's old!!!

If only more people had come to his parade

Of course that fucking ogre of a festering pustule Fetterman is supporting Trump over the strike.

R155 With any other POTUS, any other time......there'd be impeachment hearings within a week. I think that move would be considered worse than what he did to cause the 1st impeachment, maybe not as bad as the second?

Who knows?

Praise Jesus! That's mah president! Right there, Mr. President! Bust mah bunker!

Of course he’s threatening worse if Iran retaliates.

[Quote]Michigan Arab Trump voters must be ecstatic.

Iranians aren't Arab, you knobhead.

I’m surprised he decided go to war on a second country.

You’d think destroying America would be enough.

Has Whoopi Goldberg commented?

why are you saying US and we. you don't serve in the military. there is no we about this. Your lord and saver never served.

Why did folks stop talking about grocery prices?

I just left the store and OMFG…

What was going through Marco Rubio's mind standing there? He's the only one in the frame who might have a lick of sense. He couldn't have anticipated things would go south so fast.

I wonder what Bolton's thinking/feeling right now. The Middle East is a much different place than it was 9 years ago.

My lord and saver told me duh aigs are down 400 percent and I don't question the lord.

Bibi played Trump. Bibi watched Trump’s #s crash. Bibi watched Trump gut our DoD & intel agencies. Bibi watched Trump fire our commanding officers, all of which had experience in the Middle East and could have checked Trump. Bibi is corrupt AF, Trump is corrupt AF & Bibi easily played Trump.

[quote]They are euphoric and in total hero worship mode all over RW media tonight.

I know MAGA world has been divided over this (see Cruz/Carlson) but now that the fat orange fuck has actually launched an attack, I’d be surprised if they don’t all fall in line. And if for no other reason, I think they will do so just to keep from giving the Democrats the satisfaction of seeing them go against Dump over this. Remember, for them it’s always party first, country go fuck yourself.

pretty much. the whole cabinet looked like they had just swallowed broken glass tonight. but two days? they will al be singing the praises of cheetolini and his military expertise

R163, he can’t focus on anything. Remember tariffs and all the deals we were going to do? And what about destroying Los Angeles? Deporting millions of people? That was just last weeks episode.

169 I am doing. cartwheels in heaven and I do not know WTF you mean!

Our country needs to be stopped.

I don’t know where you got the idea that MAGATS would be against this. War is okay if Trump starts it.

Orange Jesus needs to be stopped. But you won't let that happen. He is the way and the light and the truth. Up is down and down is up. You called President Biden a war criminal and but will right in line with taco bs.

No Words

R158, Fetterman should volunteer to go fight, if he believes in this war so much

It would be cost efficient for the Iranians to target the U.S. government. There’s barely anyone there right now.

They should take out the shitgibbon when he's playing golf.

[Quote] Congress is supposed to authorize a war action like this.

If we had one, they’d be outraged!

The pictures of Trump sitting in the situation room wearing that stupid hat 😂

It looks like he’s about to lean over to Hegseth and ask him what the daughter just said. “She’s the daughter, isn’t she?”

[r143] I agree with you, but since Clinton used to bomb whomever every time he found himself with a bimbo crisis, those days are long past.

Trump claimed Obama would declare war on Iran due to his inability to negotiate. LOL.

My son lives a miles north of the Capitol.

MTG reacts:

[quote]Greene, a close Trump ally, posted some 30 minutes before the announcement as well, writing, “Every time America is on the verge of greatness, we get involved in another foreign war. There would not be bombs falling on the people of Israel if Netanyahu had not dropped bombs on the people of Iran first. Israel is a nuclear armed nation. This is not our fight. Peace is the answer.”

[quote]“I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran. I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength,” Greene wrote at the time.

Is it possible this will all blow over and be forgotten?

On X: As @amwajmedia previously reported, Israel’s focus on the necessity for Trump to strike Fordow appears to have been designed to convince him to enter a war with Iran. Indeed, Iranian authorities have already indicated that nuclear materials were removed from Fordow.

R196, in the U.S. we forget everything and that’s probably for the best. But this is Middle East. It’s like Sicily. No one lets anything go.

Succinctly put by George Conway:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

[quote]Is it possible this will all blow over and be forgotten?

Sure, Jan.

It would be best for all if the White House was bombed as payback.

Con. Way. cried tears of joy when trump was installed. CRIED.

Missiles on the way to Israel.

Statement from the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

“The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations.

The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior.

In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.”

so now you have your answer how this helps daddy poo ton

The feels when the fucking Islamic Republic has the moral high ground 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm curious, is the US attack going to speed up the Iranian nuclear program so that they have an atom bomb in record time as they moved everything from Fordo to an undisclosed location OR was Iran many years away from a nuclear bomb and not even pursuing it.

Ah, this is why they wouldn't let Turd go to Mag-a-Lardo this weekend. Wouldn't look good.

They’re going to spin this as him being a ‘statesman’ and being truly presidential.

FRODOUGH

He bombed the Eye-rain-ians?

But not Rubio?

r197 and r207, why do you believe Iranian propaganda that they removed everything? That is propaganda for their own people. And it makes no sense for them to say that publicly if they actually had removed it, as it encourages the US and Israel to come back and take them out. Keeping quiet about its existence would be in their best interest if it were actually safe. Israeli intelligence has been extremely accurate on everything involving the internal workings of Iran, including the location of specific scientists and others that they have blown up. They would know if everything had been moved. As would the US actually. It's fine to want to see Trump humiliated, but you can't let that or your hatred for Israel influence your thinking.

[Quote] [R196], in the U.S. we forget everything and that’s probably for the best.

That’s because we’re the ones dropping the bombs.

[Quote] But this is Middle East. It’s like Sicily. No one lets anything go.

That’s because they’re the ones having the bombs dropped on them. Or their homes and land stolen.

Funny how that works, isn’t it?

What a coincidence! Within 6 months of Trumps first inauguration he attacked an ‘’evil’’ middle eastern country. Pick a country and bomb-anything to distract from the mess dump has made at home.

Van Jones thinks Trump is presidential again.

NY Times coverage of this is excellent, as usual. Regular updates throughout the night. Paying for journalism is worth it.

You misspelled Trump’s inauguration- it’s ‘’ In-HOG-urination ‘’ do better.

Van Jones either needs cash/pardon or both.

R217 = Judith Miller

R209 Oh Yeah. No repub congress or MAGA would ever contradict decision to bomb and continue attack. ‘’If you’re not with us you’re with Iran having mukes’’

Judith Evelyn. She was good too. Miss Lonely Hearts.

[quote]NY Times coverage of this is excellent, as usual

The people who beat the drum for Iraq? The one the stumped for Trump? The one that outed CIA agents who spoke out against the fabricated WMDs on behalf of the Bush administration? Fuck off.

R213 I don't believe that they moved anything from Fordo. I was just pointing out the two ideas being proposed by those that think Iran's nuclear ambitions shouldn't have been dealt with are mutually exclusive.

[quote]Clinton supporters who cried at her concession speech were mocked and called the f word.

The what?

I’m really surprised the ignorant isolationist lazy Dump approved a bombing raid. I hope he dies soon.Vance has potential to be worse but isn’t popular.

Stay home and eat hummus, kids.

[quote]Con. Way. cried tears of joy when trump was installed. CRIED.

Try English.

If we were sure they didn’t have nukes but were in the way I can see the benefits of bombing Iran. But Israel was already doing it so why did anybody else need to get involved?

And why did Trump lie? All the people who love him still would have if he were honest and said he wanted to attack Iran

R231 is a retard.

van jones blubbered about President Biden performance during the debate. He shed no tears about orange jesus screaming "dey eatin duh dawgs en duh catssss" during the next debate.

The Persian Spring!

Putin is pissed. He claims to be BFF to Iran AND Israel. Also has Russian workers building nuclear power plants in Iran who could be harmed. Will be fun to see how Trump and Putin deal this one-WW3!!!

I’d be ok with ww3.. Aging does not appeal to me.

Probably Trump will insist on one of his on-camera verbal love-ins: everyone around the table forced to praise he who ordered the most precise use of BOMBS in the history of bombs. It'll be another test of acting skills for many. Trump's endorphin high post-TACO and No Kings will be sickening to observe.

R240 Give it up for Senator Gym Shorts!

Hegseth is handsome but his feminine voice is turn off.

Hegseth looked hot in today’s pic with dump and his other henchmen.

I bet Hegsethbis a hot rough fuck unless he’s too drunk to get it up

Rubio used to be so beautiful. Now he looks like the shit he is.

Good morning from Europe.

Thank you Trump for doing the correct thing for once and making Europe safer by neutralising Iran. Iran have been arming Russia in their attacks on Ukraine, taking hostages and sponsoring violence in Europe.

Now you can do the correct thing for a second time and give Ukraine all it needs to fight back against Russia.

Then there will be peace and you can say you brought peace to the world, and China will know not to fuck you with.

Cheers!

r242, Hegseth is certainly hot by government standards, nothing to be ashamed of for recognizing that. Going by your comment, you also recognize that he doesn't belong anywhere near his current job and that's good enough.

Let me get this straight on one day Trump gets nominated for the PEACE prize for stopping a war and then the next day he bombs the Iran nuke development program to stop or start another war somewhere else.

The man is delusional he thinks he is Carter, and Reagan, and Johnson all rolled into one potus.

He is certainly not trying to be Biden or Harris

And in other news democrats attack each other

"But her emails" should be updated to "but her cackle"

Do we know who amongst our main players has end times beliefs?

Seeking your assistance as a curious outsider - do the people who pronounce Iran and Iraq as “I-ran” and “I-rack” (including your not particularly erudite Head of State) pronounce Italy as “I-tally”?

It’s a marker for dumb white trash, right?

Those who are in power get to call things what they want. Losers get to get to butch ( no it’s the DL I mean bitch of course) and moan about what things are called.

Both the winners and the democrats have a role to play.

R250, Zelenskyy is the threat to Europe.

So are we at war with Iran or is this just a one time military strike? Any retired or active military members on here? I remember some posts from a retired marine

It's getting to the point where about five times a week I think, "maybe I'm dreaming..."

And you think a retired Marine who posts on the DL might know what comes next? :-)

What comes next depends on what Iran does next. We are not pulling a Johnson and landing the 3rd Marine Division on Red Beach any time soon. Unless of course Iran makes it so.

[quote]So are we at war with Iran or is this just a one time military strike?

r258 Trump would like this to be the whole extent of US involvement, but obviously Iran needs it to blow up into a wider conflict because they have no other cards to play.

[quote]US officials told the BBC’s US partner CBS News that Washington had contacted Tehran through diplomatic channels before the strikes, making clear that no further attacks were planned and that regime change was not the goal.

Greta and her ilk currently in mourning. Not because they give a shit about Iran, but because this effectively marks the end of the Gaza conflict. No more money or equipment flowing into Hamas, Iran will be busy rebuilding its own capacities for years if not decades to come.

All those protests and sitting out the election... all for nothing.

Photos of Fordow post-bombardment are out and they're extremely unremarkable, as was expected with bunker busters. Basically, only the Iranians will be able to verify if the facility has been destroyed or not.

R263 sending in spec ops teams to do the job the bunker busters just did or tried to do was allegedly an option. I expect spec ops troops or spies could be used to find out for sure the busters worked as intended or not.

If not then I’d expect more bombs.

R262, a genuinely stupid thing to write let alone “think.”

[quote] this makes Iranians want to kill Trump even more.

We live in hope.

r265 Genuinely not, no. I've seen plenty of that sentiment on Reddit already since the bombing. Though I'm sure it comes as a surprise to someone in a perpetual bubble like "you."

Antisemites collecting one L after another. Iran was their last hope of taking out Israel.

Guess they'll just have to learn to live with that "Zionist entity" sticking around for some time. It'll be painful, but I'm sure they'll manage.

When a young girl is out there trying to save the planet and people mock her, it’s not the win they think it is.

It’s a disgrace.

Oh well, the military tribunals of all these American government criminals after Trump is gone (or removed) will be fun to watch. They'll have to build another prison just to house all the Trump officials who need to be tried, convicted and imprisoned, not to mention a few who need to be executed.

R270 not the delusional but the Resistance at work,

R263 doesn't have a clue how intelligence works. We'll be able to know without trusting the ,word of the Iranians. (Amazing how people think they're going to be honest.)

You mean like the military tribunals that convicted Bush, Chaney, etc? Huh. Even when wars go bad the US doesn’t punish government officials.

[quote]Schumer is secretly ecstatic

Schumer is writing another strongly worded letter. He was cut out of the heads up until after the strikes were over.

Israel always dragging America into their wars.

Spare me the BS about being a democracy in the middle east. What has that actual got us with all the billions we give them every year? Intelligence? Oh you mean on the people they cant stop fighting with. HARD PASS.

Now that Trump did this and BB is grinning ear to ear, guess who is the target of attack? Guess who Iran is going for focus their revenge on now? Soft targets are their thing, say good by to large public gatherings for the years to come.

I get the intention, but am I the only one who thinks bombing nuclear sites falls into the category of Not Ideal?

R70, Iranians are Persians despite being invaded and colonized by arabs, like many other countries. It is one of the reasons islam is going down the shitter there.

No radiation, they were not as far along as "we" thought they were. Sounds a lot like Condi and her mushroom cloud.

Some of the hysterical queens in this thread are, well, hysterical.

If you're on the same side as Marjorie Taylor Green AND Ilhan Omar, maybe you need to look again?

“ When a young girl is out there trying to save the planet and people mock her, it’s not the win they think it is.”

Can we call things what they are? Young Greta’s initial sit down strike for climate-change awareness, and a lot of her activism after that, was the real deal.

But gliding into a war zone on an excursion boat waving Palestinian flags? That’s hubristic attention-seeking and trolling.

R275 it will eventually get the U.S. a canal that will rival the Suez and give trillions of dollars over the course of decades. That is what this entire thing is for. That is why they are clearing Palestine now. It’s about money. That is why Iran is being eliminated as a threat, to completely dry up their proxies in the region, plus they never should have helped Russia. It’s always about money R275 when you find yourself asking, “why?”

We knew Iran didn’t have ready to go nukes in those facilities. There was no danger there.

What Trump just did could lead to geopolitical disaster .. or not.. too soon to tell. But he did it as (a) a takedown of what Iran intends to build, and (b) instant destruction of the almost mythical idea that Iran is powerful and fearsome because they have or will soon have nukes in an impenetrable fortress deep inside a mountain.

That was part of the Khamenei regime’s mythos and negotiating power. That’s just been bombed to nothing.

Honestly the more I think about it, this is really NOT a big deal. Trump bombed a few sites in the middle of nowhere, no reports of death and even if so, very few. Iran as a country going about their daily lives without even noticing for the most part. 90 million people there are not suddenly going to "rise up". What this really is, is a show of force by Benjamin Netanyahu to Iran that he can pull the strings of American fire power via Trump.

Interesting that there are more posts on Audra McDonald and her suitability for Gypsy than there are for bombing Iran.

She’s thrilled.

Whiskey Pete opens his press conference licking Trump's ass.

I learned something on Youtube.

In the army when they start serving better food (lobster, high quality steak, and brand named soda) it means war is imminent-

Apparently that is exactly what just happened prior to these attacks..

Apparently it has always been like this and war (deployment) comes shortly after--

That WAS nauseating, R287.

R288 How on earth would anyone in the USAF know they were going to war based on the high quality food they were served. In the wing or AF that is a day that ends in Y.

every Nov 10th the USMC eats like Kings and Queens. Magnificent spreads. That does not mean that on the 11th the USMC always deploys to war, No matter what Utube told you.

The traditional Marine pre invasion meal , is a breakfast of steak and eggs. No fucking lobster for the grunts. When you get S&E in the morning before a mission you know that management expects to be needing lots of fresh body bags,

Yeah, they somehow magically get tens of thousands of pounds of lobster and beef on short notice, and, ofcourse, all involved needed to pull this off say nothing beforehand

[quote]Zelenskyy is the threat to Europe.

Explain.

[quote]Zelenskyy is the threat to Europe.

R280, if you're on the same side as Donald Trump and Lindsey Graham....

R262, your boy Trump takes $$$ from Qatar which funds Hamas but you're attacking Greta

Hold me!

R268, the REAL antisemites are still around and they are probably attending the same Trump rallies as you

[QUOTE] Whiskey Pete opens his press conference licking Trump's ass.

Pete always with the bumper sticker platitudes. He’s soaking it up right now pretending he had something to do with this when all he did was follow orders from Trump and that Centcom Commanding General. He’s the weakest SecDef I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

Yeah, usually there's at least some tension between a President and a SecDef, but we haven't seen that with this one. Pete i fine with being a yes man.

Paint my toenails!

Goodbye, Straits of Hormuz

Closing the Strait would hurt Iran and its economic partners more than it hurts America.

What’s going on Tusli G? All see talking about this Rump, Vance and big ears

No war with Iran!

Oh, wait..

I'm concerned.

[QUOTE]Do we know who amongst our main players has end times beliefs?

Not a main player, but... Mike Huckabee, Ambassador to Israel, right wing Baptist preacher, grifter, and heavy beliver in Revelations would do anything to have his fat ass airlifted to heaven.

He recently wrote the most obsequious letter to Trump on behalf of "God Himself." The White House released it, of course. The Europeans and Russians must have simultaneously been mortified and pissing themselves laughing.

Why are Baptists ALWAYS so trashy?

While I could puke at the thought, this could work out very well in the end for Bibi and Trump. At least in the short term.

Anyone who thinks Iran won't restart nuclear research is a fool. And we'll be back where we are now. But by that time both Netanyahu and Trump will be gone and someone else will get blamed.

ugh, that letter r307. I assume it will be a huge exhibit in future discussions of how the U.S. went from being a republic to an authoritarian cult of personality. That and those gross public cabinet meetings where everybody goes around the table declaring Trump the greatest man who ever lived and declaring how grateful they are to serve him and his cult in this administration. Disgusting on every level, and that's before we even get to the complete elimination of any distinction between church and state.

For all of the glory and thanks given to God, or whomever, the early U.S. and Israeli reporting is that Fordo was seriously damaged but not destroyed and that the Iranians had moved equipment and uranium out ahead of the bombing.

r311 I've read so much commentary lately that alas I can't re-find and provide a link for the following (sorry); but in the ocean of analysis one commentator remarked that [italic]of course[/italic] the Iranians would state that they had moved everything prior to the bombing in order to appear competent and reassure the Iranian people. The commentator further noted that, if they had [italic]really[/italic] moved anything, they wouldn't mention having done so, as mentioning it will only make the Israelis/Americans seek it out elsewhere in order to destroy it.

The mentally challenged bootlicker R250 has entered the chat. Delusion is apparent in each sentence. R250 sees a savior in Trump, yet this bombing has only made the Middle East even more unstable. Trump really is Israel's bitch.

...for those of you who will read and watch statements from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s state media and regime officials, please remember that we Iranians excel at crafting dramatic, bombastic statements.

[quote]The mentally challenged bootlicker [R250] has entered the chat. Delusion is apparent in each sentence. [R250] sees a savior in Trump, yet this bombing has only made the Middle East even more unstable. Trump really is Israel's bitch.

It's delusional to point out that Ukraine have been attacked by Russia using Iranian drones. Riiiiiiiggggghhhhhhhhtttttt.

Observing that Trump has done the right thing FOR ONCE makes me a bootlicker? Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

I'm sorry your planned orgasm watching the destruction of Israel has been delayed. Keep fantasising about it though hun, even if you need viagra to get your little stump of a cock semi hard.

🍄 🤡 💩

Iran may block the Strait of Hormuz. If it does so, I think it's the Ayatollah's death warrant, but they have very few cards left to play and that's the biggest hand they have left. Obviously they have the usual navy ships and will launch some of their drones from them (I suspect their main drone launching ship will be destroyed immediately if it hasn't already been destroyed by Israel while docked). I do not think those big boy ships will survive long against the U.S. and Israel. Bigger concern is that they also have a ton of land-based missiles that are specifically anti-ship missiles. They have a few subs with the usual torpedoes. And they have small boats that are rigged to be suicide boats. And of course there's mines. But if they decide to go down that path, they will piss off way more than the U.S. and Israel, and I suspect US will decide it's time to take out the regime.

R312, the story about moving equipment and uranium isn't based on what the Iranians are saying, it's from U.S. and Israeli military sources.

No, r318, it says it's too soon to know the extent, if any, of their remaining nuclear capability. As for Fordow, it's obvious that a facility in the mountain wouldn't be totally obliterated. It doesn't have to be to be rendered effectively destroyed and unusable. The Iranians are the ones claiming this is no big deal and that they evacuated everything. Thats's pure propaganda that some westerners will eat right up.

Putin and Xi are united against Trump.

Fucking idiot.

And grease fires to all who voted for this cunt

Thank you for that article R235, its probably the best contribution to this thread. Great insight into what the Iranian people are actually thinking, may they be freed from their Islamist oppressors soon

I used to known a guy of Persian origin, he was from India but his family had originally fled there from Iran when the "revolution" happened

Yes v8fascist, that’s why Israel and the USA are bombing Iran.

It has nothing to do with Israeli domination of the Middle East.

The U.S. and Israel are very worried about women’s rights and gay rights in Iran. It’s so nice of them! 🤡

This utter vomit of a rationale reminds me of the ziono-crazies who say it’s fine to commit genocide against the Palestinians because they’re intolerant towards homosexuality. “Why it’s ok to kill people, volume 3.”

[quote]Putin and Xi are united against Trump.

Well I was undecided before but that has clarified where I stand!

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Iranians don’t do shit. Looks like Trump and Netanyahu aren’t pushing for regime change and the Ayatollah might be satisfied with the opportunity to keep living. They’re fucked up right now and their proxies were decimated by the IDF. The Israelis saw how weak they were, like a severely wounded animal, and took advantage. This is all looking like a big win for Netanyahu, who couldn’t be happier right now.

MTG is calling out Trump and Bibi for bombing Iran and saying that Israel wouldn’t be bombed if they weren’t bombing Iran first. Trump is going to lose it on her.

CNN kept Anderson Cooper on all night, and never brought out “war slut” Christiane Amanpour, so I’m unconcerned about this being a big deal.

Israel has the capabilities of taking out Iran. Let them do it.

Why are there so many alarmist assholes on DL, hoping and praying for WWIII to start?

A single hiccup happens in the world and all the "end is here" lunatics come crawling out from under their rocks.

The Iranian president marched in a protest waving a mini flag and issued a strongly worded statement. Is that the official response? Guess they’re reading from Chuck Schumer’s playbook.

#329 Because Trump is a reckless willful childish man who is also the LUCKIEST man alive! This is like an 8 year old boy sneaking out at night and riding his father’s motorcycle on the freeway without a helmut. He gets home totally fine. Everyone praises him because he is so brave and clever. This worked out but AGAIN he went against the rules. Next time he could get us all killed. He is the Dos Equis Man!

Iran’s military defenses have been decimated. The only retaliation they can do is terrorism.

Why does Iran have a President and a “Supreme Leader”?

Does the “President” do anything?

My Mango Muffin will be getting extra nookie this evening.

I didn't know Netanyahu is as thin-skinned as Trump.

r334 she's looking a bit slovenly there. The celebratory scotch must have been opened pretty much immediately after the first bomb fell last night.

R335, Netanyhu's self-obsession is legendary. His corruption trial is partly about his need for positive press coverage.

Major antiwar rally taking place in Times Square.

R314 So unlike the US,

So if Iran js reponsible for a terrorist attack in NYC would Trump even do anything about it because it’s…uhhh…New York? Even though Trump Tower is there?

MTG, Putin, Xi on one side.

Trump on the other side.

🤪

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...

Stuck in the middle with you 🎼🎶🎸🎹

It is ridiculous how America gets involved in conflicts between other countries thousands of miles away

What about Ukraine, R344?

It's a New Yorker born and raised. Its children are New Yorkers born and raised. Maga fails to understand their lord and "saver " is precisely what they hate the most, a coastal elite.

And its' mother was an immigrant who met its' dad in a "dance hall"????????

Just how many dirty suitcase bombs do you think are floating around the U.S. these days?

They call Italians eyetalians r255

I don't think most Americans understand what we are up against. Vietnam and Iraq will look like child's play in comparison.

^Whoops

R349 you're delusional.

The USA is not going to put troops in to fight a war in the Middle East, this is nothing like Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan.

This is probably more like the strikes on Libya in 2011.

At least I hope so

R329, gee, I don't know, why did conservatives say "Biden is leading us into World War 3!" because of foreign wars that our troops aren't even involved in?

Perhaps you're being called a bootlicker because you're slavishly falling in line behind the leaders of two countries who are crazy and desperate to prop up their crumbling imperial dominance. These authoritarians you are supporting are not doing anything constructive for that region. They ate, howevet, stoking the anger of wildly vengeful leaders of other countries and pullung the world into a potentially large scale war.

Also, the fact that you think Trump had any part in this decision or action other than tweeting about it is a sign of delusion or at the very least that you've been duped and haven't yet caught on.

R351 You're the delusional one. Iran won't ever forget this attack. Never underestimate an enemy.

^^replying to R215

Typo it's a reply to R315. Fucking tiny iphone keyboard

R355 If the whole regime is dead, then yes, they will. I just can't understand why they haven't offed Khamenei yet and neither can Iranian civilians. Do they intend to put him on trial?

Actually, two. You'd think Stephen Miller wants his nose in everything.

How come Trump's EO could bypass the congress? Without congress vote, the president of U.S. can not declare a war.

How many people found out about this on the Signal chat?

R360, Congress has become progressively less functional since the days of WW II. Without deciding specifically deciding to do this, the country increasingly relied on the Supreme Court and the Presidency to make difficult decisions and keep everything moving forward. "War" hasn't been declared since the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor; we've simply tolerated legalistic work-arounds. And see the results now: a Congress that is surplus to requirements, that does absolutely nothing.

The administration is so on-message. It really went to his head fast. He's 🍄 is chubbied and rarin' to go. How much you wanna bet he'll do something really stupid now that he feels emboldened?

At least he's losing focus on Canada, Greenland, and Panama, though they really can't breathe easier. Nobody can.

[quote]In the army when they start serving better food (lobster, high quality steak, and brand named soda) it means war is imminent-

They say the same thing about pizza orders at the Pentagon. Pizza orders go through the roof as all the working lunch meetings and strategic planning take priority.

Forget about egg prices, Dee.

Lindsey’s hair is all white now, his complexion is pale but reddish, his suit looks ill-fitting. Alcoholism?

He's already talking about regime change. Seems he caught the bombing bug.

So is Tulsi fired yet?

There's something distasteful about Trump being pictured wearing a MAGA cap while watching the attack unfold. It just seems trivialising.

R366, I'm not an alcoholic! I only drink wine and beer (and the occasional mint julep)

When this all goes south, and it will, THAT is when Democrats need to remind the media and public this entire thing was once side decision as Democrats were not even notified about this until AFTER it was done. And no it was not just Donald, they informed some top Republicans ahead of time including the Speaker of the House.

It really does feel as though he views the whole thing as a video game.

[quote] US President Donald Trump has just posted on his Truth Social site saying the US caused "monumental damage" with its strikes on "all nuclear sites in Iran".

[quote] "Obliteration is an accurate term", he wrote.

[quote] Referring to a satellite image which he did not share in the post, Trump said a "white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock" and "completely shielded from flame", while "the biggest damage took place far below ground level."

[quote] "Bullseye!!!" he added at the end of the post.

The three exclamation marks really sold it. So presidential!!!

It's unreal that Lindsey Graham, Stephen Miller, and Trump are still polluting the political landscape—but here we are, stuck with these shameless relics.

How are the other countries going to feel about the 90 tariffs in 90 days? Now that Trump has dropped a bomb - won’t most countries feel a little sour aboit it?
