Which supports the Narrative that this was Nuttin' Yahoo's war; that Trump was USED...he, or his handler-underlings were SOLD this war, as something that would be over in days. And once that proved to be a grotesque mis-reading, as always happens with Neo-Conn "Regime Change" attempts...Trump, or his handlers, wanted OUT.

Yahoo doesn't want out. Yahoo wants to be Samson, and level the whole world, and be in the center of the rubble, a martyr.

So now we're gonna find out how independent the Tech-Bro's and RINOs are, of Israel, once things get ugly.
 
How 'bout that.

Iran is not defeated; not made impotent. Which USED to be the POINT of war. Nobody worried about German antiaircraft or U-Boats in the ocean, once Germany was defeated.

This war, wasn't a war. It was...something else; and nothing accomplished.

Proof: Right here. Iran could mine the straits tonight, and aside from blustering and a few moar million-dollar missiles, nothing would be done.

This is INSANE. War is to be the LAST option, when all others fail...and once started...BEFORE it starts...there has to be the resolution to fight to conclusion, which MUST be capitulation.
 
TNR podcast here. Nothing to see, can listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab. Make of it what you will.

 
Trump should have asked for free lifetime supply of falfal and shwarma.

4 — Immediately upon the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, the United States lift the naval blockade and prevent any interference or obstruction against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and restore traffic within a maximum of 30 days to its full capacity; the traffic of ships shall be proportional to the pre-war volume of traffic on the part of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States also undertakes to withdraw its forces from the surrounding areas within 30 days after the final agreement.

5 — Upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately take steps to ensure that the movement of merchant ships from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa is resumed within 30 days to the pre-war volume, taking into account the need for the removal of technical obstacles and the neutralization of mines by Iran.

6 — The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.

14 — The final agreement will be approved through a binding resolution of the UN Security Council.
 
Since neither Trump or Israel will honor this agreement long term, when does the shooting restart?
 
Crude dropping like a rock, LNG too. American economy set to take off as Irans military eviscerated. The Dems lead in Nov. down from 10 points to 0 as the Donald saves the economy.

Heres the thing. If Trump and the Republicans lose either one of the houses in Nov. then everything is for naught. He becomes and instant lame duck and the Democrats will block and/or interfere with everything he trys to do because thats what they do. They are the party of obstruction and everything they touch turns to shit. What a collection of imbeciles they are. They would gladly burn the house down just to demonize his legacy.

So we have this non-perfect deal with Iran but remember we bombed the shit out of them and they are little threat now. They will have to address their own economic/social problems at some time because things are so bad in their economy they have tens of thousands of citizens walking into heavy machine gun fire because they figure they have nothing to lose. Actually I'd bet the % of the mullahs losing power at 50/50 compared to the chance Iran could recover from the ass beating we gave them.

It was at a point where the bombing was at risk of destroying any chance of recovery for them. And don't forget "regime change" was never on the table. We set their military back decades. We opened up the gulf and got the oil flowing again. We avoided mass casualties and avoided significant damage to the energy infrastructure of our gulf friends. But most of all, most of all, MAGA gave itself a better then even chance at keeping both houses and retaining power in Nov. This was a win.
 
At best an embarrassing draw. I bet all the Iranians who were looking for help from the US to overthrow the extreme govt over there are happy.
Guy changes the name of the Dept of Defense to Dept of War loses first war. Winning bigly.
 

 
So T listened to Netty, Graham and Hegseth. I think he may realize that Netty played him (like a fiddle) and Graham and Hegseth gave him some bad advice. Wonder if he'll seek revenge and if he does, how will it play out?
 
Commentary here, take it fwiw, dyodd & make of it what you will.

An Annotated Analysis of Trump’s Iran Deal: Official agreement envisages trade relief for opening the Strait of Hormuz and limits on Iran’s nuclear program. WSJ goes paragraph-by-paragraph through the leaked draft text, marking concessions in red. The annotations are doing more work than the analysis. (Wall Street Journal)
 
and we know where it came from as well... IF you followed Q that is!



Why do certain people SHIT themselves every time Trump discusses tracing/tracking where the Iranian uranium came from once he gets a sample of it?

Because he ALREADY KNOWS where they got it from.

Same as the North Koreans.

Some of you...are not ready for this.

But it can't be helped.

The endgame approacheth.
 
Just more bullshit, iran got their rocket technology from Ollie North and Ronnie Rayguns...
 
Just more bullshit, iran got their rocket technology from Ollie North and Ronnie Rayguns...
All they mostly got was some anti tank missiles and spare parts for surface to air missiles they already owned.

The missile tech of theirs currently in controversy, is that of long range technology.

We did NOT supply them with long range missiles or the technology to build them.

So try try again.
