Marco Rubio announces military actions for "Operation Fury" have been concluded.

[Winco]

He is not finished yet.

Obliterated.
Did he LIE.
Just admit it, it was a LIE when trump said Obliterated.

 

[ElmerMudd]

You use a lot of words to say nothing.

Here. I’ll help you out since you’re just a hack shitlib idiot troll.

Thank you, President Trump, for eliminating the threat of the Iranian Islamofascist Regime acquiring the ability to craft nuclear weapons. The world is vastly safer, now, because we finally have a President who did what was needed.

It would be great if that happens but the regime is still there with the enriched uranium.

 

[BackAgain]

It would be great if that happens but the regime is still there with the enriched uranium.

60% enriched. Now, however, they aren’t able to further enrich it, Elmo. And they’d need to get it to 90% enriched to be able to use it for nuclear weapons.

please feel free to share your views as to how they will be able to do that?

 

[Bad Bob]

I want him to quit LYING.

He is not finished yet.

Agreed he's not finished lying.

OTOH, if a person is so delusional that they truly believe the falsehoods falling out of their mouths, are they really lying?

Trump repeatedly pulls numbers out of thin air such as the price of gas, the price of groceries, the price of pharmaceuticals, etc. Is he lying or does he truly believe those numbers no matter how fantasized they prove to be?

 

[rightwinger]

It hit $6 under Biden. Did you thank him for that then?

Trump doesn't own all the oil companies. He has no say in what prices they rig their markets at.

So no, you haven't been out enough.

Under Biden, I realized oil prices were out of his control.
COVID Supply chain issues and the UKRAINE WAR

Trump blundered into this situation and intentionally caused it. So yes, Trump did have a say, Biden didn’t

I am not very much a fan of the death penalty. But I’m not an absolutist about it.

One of the biggest problems with any execution is that it eliminates any meaningful prospect of correcting a mistaken conviction.

On the other hand, if a convicted inmate got a lifetime imprisonment with no possibility of parole, and that inmate knows that there is no death penalty available to use against him, that inmate could essentially kill any other inmate or prison guard with zero fear of legal consequences. (Another conviction and another full life-sentence has no power of deterrence if the inmate is never getting out, anyway.).

We need to be able to prevent that. We need the tool of a death sentence for our own well being. It’s called “specific deterrence.” Once he’s executed, he will never again take any human life.

In reality every other first world country does that and has a lower crime rate...

Just look at ADX Florence, the death penalty look light compared to that...

Prisoners who kill others have usually got underlying effects... By modern standards US very high incarcerations and very high recidivism.
US has still got Crime Rates (Homocide) over 5 times western Europe. that is people going about their day in much safer conditions,

He had a say in the sense that his actions reduced the amount of oil available on the global market, causing prices to rise.

They don't need near 60% for fueling power plants, not even close to that. It's all about bombs, and making dirty bombs to poison millions with, and these vermin know that. They're just parroting idiot rubbish.

Which has jack squat to do with domestic supply and demand. That is completely on the oil companies.

In fact, the COVID scare under Biden REDUCED demand; prices should have fallen, not risen. There were other reasons for the price rise; those can't be hidden under the COVID rarp.

Two words: Dirty Bomb.

All MAGAts, please be prepared to crap your Depends in unison:

What is uranium enrichment and how is it used for nuclear bombs? A scientist explains | Research

research.anu.edu.au

Technically, a nuclear weapon can be made with as little as 20% uranium-235 (known as “highly enriched uranium”), but the more the uranium is enriched, the smaller and lighter the weapon can be. Countries with nuclear weapons tend to use about 90% enriched, “weapons-grade” uranium.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has enriched large quantities of uranium to 60%. It’s actually easier to go from an enrichment of 60% to 90% than it is to get to that initial 60%. That’s because there’s less and less uranium-238 to get rid of.

Know Your Uranium - Reveal

Media and government reports often refer to "highly-enriched" and "weapons-grade" uranium, sometimes interchangeably. But in fact the terms have different

revealnews.org

News stories occasionally report that a smuggler was caught with “enough enriched uranium for a dirty bomb,” or radiological dispersal device. But these use conventional weapons technologies to spread radioactive material over a large area, and do not use uranium.

Instead, the radioactive ingredient in a dirty bomb would more likely be cesium-137 or strontium-90. Smuggling incidents involving these materials are not recorded on the IAEA list of “proliferation-significant” events.

Preventing a Dirty Bomb

NTI is working with officials and hospitals in Atlanta, New York City and California to take steps to replace equipment containing cesium-137.

www.nti.org

Cesium-137 is an isotope found in blood irradiators and other medical equipment in many countries around the world. It is also the most dangerous of all radioactive isotopes. If cesium-137 was used in a dirty bomb, its highly dispersible powder would contaminate an area for years, costing billions of dollars in evacuation, demolition, and clean-up.

Fortunately, significant advancements in technology in recent years have yielded safe and effective non-radioactive x-ray devices for sterilizing blood that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Replacing the cesium-137 irradiators with these x-ray devices has security and fiscal benefits: It requires less security, completely eliminates the threat, doesn’t require expensive disposal at the end of the machine’s life cycle, and eliminates a hospital’s liability and protects those without insurance to cover terrorism losses.

Trump steps on his own team with ‘Project Freedom’ pause​

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to reporters Tuesday from the White House briefing room, apparently with a single goal in mind: talk up the administration’s new policy in the Strait of Hormuz.

Asked, for example, about whether the United States would have to acquire all Iranian nuclear material in order to end the war, Rubio suggested that the war had already come to an end.

“The operation is over,” the secretary claimed. “Epic Fury, as the president notified Congress, we’re done with that stage of it, OK? We’re now on to this Project Freedom.”

Hours earlier, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, held a briefing at the Pentagon and stressed the same point. Hegseth referred to “Project Freedom” in his first sentence and mentioned it another 10 times over the course of the briefing, insisting that it is “separate and distinct” from the 10-week-old war. For his part, Caine referred to “Project Freedom” a half-dozen additional times.

The point was not subtle: The Trump administration’s line du jour was to argue that the war that began on Feb. 28 has, for all intents and purposes, run its course. The new priority was a maritime security initiative involving U.S. ships escorting other ships through the strait. To hear Rubio and Hegseth tell it, anyone focusing on the war was behind the times. All that matters now, they argued, was Project Freedom.

A couple of hours after Rubio wrapped up his Q&A at the White House, Donald Trump put the “project” on ice.

Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth spent the day stressing a commitment to a day-old maritime security initiative. The president then cut them off at the knees.

Erratic changes of course and inconsistent rationales for starting the war are what happen when seat of the pants policy is being conducted by morons.

No it doesn't, that's just greed and stupidity making excuses for gouging domestic consumers and damging domestic businesses.

The dishonesty of the Trump administration is easily seen in calling Iran a war and then denying it's a war just to avoid admitting he's breaking the law.

AI Overview

Under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran agreed to severe restrictions on its uranium program, which included shipping out 98% of its stockpile.
Center for International Policy +1
Key Uranium Restrictions Under the JCPOA (2015-2018):

• Stockpile Reduction: Iran reduced its stockpile of enriched uranium by 98% to less than 300 kg (660 lb).
• Shipped Material: Iran shipped more than 11 tons of low-enriched uranium out of the country.
• Enrichment Cap: Iran capped uranium enrichment at 3.67%, far below the 90% needed for weapons-grade material.
• Centrifuge Reduction: Iran cut its operating uranium-enriching centrifuges from 20,000 to 5,060, using only older-generation machines.

Then the ignorant, orange piece of shit came along and blew up the agreement.

Agreed with this. In Texas, it's very likely we've executed an innocent man. That's wrong and it's immoral.

OTOH, as you pointed out, if an inmate kills someone since he can't be treated more harshly, then I support executing him after the case is tried and he's found guilty.

Dear Lord Simp.

Demand was reduced shortly after the shutdowns lead by TRUMP.
This was started in April 2020, while trump was POTUS.
Oil went to negative.

Then, at the end of trumps term and beginning of bidets term, people started returning to work, in early 2021.

But as you KNOW but will deny any accountability, trump brokered the OPEC+ deal which reduced supply when demand was increasing, and guess what happened to gas prices. Yeah, they rose because of the 2-Year OPEC+ deal under trump which was a deal for 2-years ending in May 2022. When did gas hit its $5.02 Highest average price, that's right, in June 2022. Because supply was still low.

Deny it ALL you want, but these are the FACTS.
