Could this be a path to ending the war?

[ding]

Two things have to happen
1. All uranium mut be recovered
2.The regime and its supporters must be removed from power
By any means necessary

It's doubtful that either of those two things will happen. Their main focus now is opening the strait for oil tankers.

Come now, let's get real. He botched the government's response to COVID, he tried to steal an election, he caused the debt to go much higher, he hired incompetent staff, he extorted Zelensky. His election and subsequent re-election weren't about results. They were about blind devotion.

You have been spending too much time watching the Morning Joe Clown Show.

This place remains absolutely fascinating. A one-stop shop for the base of the base.

An ongoing cautionary tale.

The 78 million who overwhelmingly reelected the great man were very pleased with his economy, and his ability to handle COVID. secure the border, have full employment, low inflation, etc. Maybe it's your minority who are the blind ones.

Would you still feel that way if WWIII began? Because it might be closer than some believe. Iran has nothing to lose.

Based on developments in early 2026, the risk of a regional conflict escalating into a broader global crisis due to US and Israeli military action against Iran is high. A conflict began on February 28, 2026, when US and Israeli strikes were launched against Iran, leading to significant regional retaliation, including attacks on US bases and regional infrastructure.

As of late March 2026, experts and officials have warned of the following regarding the escalation toward a global war:

• Regional Escalation and Regional Retaliation: The conflict has already widened, with Iranian retaliation involving missile and drone strikes against sites in Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Jordan, in addition to attacks on Israel.
• Targeting Infrastructure: The conflict is directly targeting key infrastructure, such as Iran's energy facilities, and threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz—a crucial artery for about 20% of global oil supplies.
• Risks of Global Crisis: The Turkish intelligence chief has warned that the war is "rapidly moving towards becoming a global crisis" for which the entire world could pay the price.
• Expert Concerns on WWIII: Some analysts have described the situation as potentially in the "early days of World War III," given the involvement of multiple nations and the potential for greater escalation, particularly if other major powers are drawn in.
• Regime Response: Iran has signaled a willingness to engage in a long-term, multi-front conflict, rather than an immediate de-escalation.

While the conflict is currently characterized as a major regional war with international repercussions, the likelihood of it escalating into a full-scale World War III depends on whether other global powers intervene and the extent of the damage to international energy and trade routes.

We saw what happened when Biden was elected. Trump was an easy choice, comparatively.

Perhaps Trump would know that if he hadn't recently gutted the Middle East and Iran desks at the State Department.

Of course, he probably wouldn't have listened anyway, unless they were wearing the red hats and giving him gold awards and nice compliments while telling him.

Reports indicate the Pentagon is preparing options for potential, limited ground operations in Iran, specifically targeting sites like Kharg Island to seize oil infrastructure and secure the Strait of Hormuz. While military build-ups and training exercises are occurring, the White House states no final decision to invade has been made, noting this planning provides the Commander in Chief maximum options.

Key Developments:

• Targeted Operations: Discussions have centered on raiding coastal areas and seizing Kharg Island—a major oil hub—rather than a full-scale invasion of the country.
• Military Buildup: Thousands of Marines and personnel, including the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, have recently arrived in the region on vessels like the USS Tripoli.
• Timeline: Pentagon planners suggest these specialized operations could take "weeks, not months".
• Iranian Reaction: Iran has warned against a ground incursion, with officials vowing a swift response to any such attempt.

While some reports suggest preparations for ground strikes, others indicate that negotiations are ongoing.

It must happen because if it doesnt nuclear bombs by suicide bomber will walk into Wash DC. A nuke can be put in a backpack. There would be no way to stop it

Most of those businesses are shell companies created for the purpose of tax evasion. He managed to bankrupt a casino. The level of mismanagement it takes to do that is astounding.

Out of the 500, how many went bankrupt?

That regime murdered 30K of its own people. Could we sit by and let that happen? I don't like war, but what do you do when the stated goal of a regime is to wipe you off the face of the earth? When does 'just war' enter into it?

Of course, he probably wouldn't have listened anyway, unless they were wearing the red hats and giving him gold awards and nice compliments while telling him.

Or maybe he wants it. There is a non zero probability that if WWIII breaks out before the November elections, he will enact war powers and suspend elections.

You don't know that.

Did you vote for Trump?

 

[Mac1958]

Yeah. I think it's fair to assume that he/they will do absolutely anything he/they can.

 

[ding]

Did you vote for Trump?

Yes

 

[Mashmont]

Yeah. I think it's fair to assume that he/they will do absolutely anything he/they can.

Assigning pronouns to Trump? Hah. He's the ultimate alpha male.

 

[ding]

Yeah. I think it's fair to assume that he/they will do absolutely anything he/they can.

I think we are headed for WWIII

 

[Mashmont]

Yes

Were you in favor of the removal of Maduro?

 

[Mashmont]

I think we are headed for WWIII

I don't think so. I think Trump knows what he's doing.
