Trump is right—Iran has no cards

[gipper]

We have refineries all over the Gulf Coast.

We hardly get anything from the persian gulf. But oil is traded globally, so markets raise prices on global oil supply

He might be as dumb as you. Lol.

Hes doing an economic War now in hopes the IRCC will fall and a Revolution will happen.

My opinion

Your opinion is whack-a-doodle

Economic war?

 

[Invisibleflash]

Found this interesting article. It pretty much explains the bind Iran is in. I want Iran to cry "Uncle". The whole war was about Iran never having nuclear weapons so let's make sure any deal makes sure that Iran never has nuclear weapons. It's not something that needs negotiating. Other things can be negotiated.

The whole war is about Greater Israel, goyim.

Have brought Steel Mills back to America.

Good point

Have brought Steel Mills back to America.

Good point

Many points here from the Trump WH itself .. even they mention the negatives

As of early 2026, tariffs have driven a resurgence in domestic steel production, with the U.S. becoming the world's third-largest producer in 2025 following 50% tariffs on imported steel. These policies have facilitated the reopening of mills, such as U.S. Steel’s Gary Works, but also generated higher costs for manufacturers relying on imported steel, creating a mixed impact on overall manufacturing jobs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Impacts of Steel Tariffs (As of 2026):

• Production Surge: U.S. steel production rose to 82 million tons in 2025, a 3% increase that brought the U.S. to the third-largest producer spot, surpassing Japan.
• Reinvestments: U.S. Steel committed significant investments, including a $750 million investment in its Indiana plant, citing the 25% to 50% tariff structure.
• Reopened Facilities: The Gary Tin Mill in Indiana reopened, creating roughly 225 jobs.
• Increased Costs for Manufacturers: The tariffs have increased costs for American companies that use imported steel and aluminum, leading to higher product prices and reduced sales for some firms.
• Debated Employment Effects: While some jobs returned to the steel industry, other analyses suggest the tariffs may not have resulted in a net increase in overall manufacturing jobs due to rising costs for downstream manufacturers

yet

Have Trump's Tariffs Brought Manufacturing Jobs Back to America? New Study Says No.

However, the tariffs did shift supply chains away from China and towards other countries with low-cost manufacturing, like Vietnam, Malaysia, and India.

Steel is a Trade we dont need to rely on others to produce. We dont need to rely on China for it.

Same with Phsrma.

Investments in steel have created great economics for this country

Lol. Did you ever make it past second grade?

Everything you accuse Arabs and Muslims of, Israel has done far worse.

Can’t fix MAGA stupid.

We're the good guys, of course. Since the ayatollahs got control of Iran, they have been using their Arab proxies to attack nearly all the other nations in the ME, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Oman and Yemen.

Which country is currently occupying Lebanon, Israel or Iran?

Iran is responding to decades of US/Israeli state-sponsored terrorism in West Asia, as Wesley Clark revealed 2003:

Wesley Clark - Wikipedia

"In Clark's book Winning Modern Wars, published in 2003, he describes his conversation with a military officer in the Pentagon shortly after 9/11 regarding a plan to attack seven countries in five years: 'As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran.'"

 

[georgephillip]

As their domestic infrastructure became too degraded through mismanagement by the ayatollahs to provide enough water and electricity to their cities, the ayatollahs spent what money they had sending missiles to their Arab proxies instead of taking care of the Iranian people, and now they are attacking the whole world by blockading the Strait of Hormuz.

The Straits of Hormuz were open before Trump launched his illegal war of aggression last February, remember?

Iran's economic decline has less to do with how ayatollahs spend money and much more to do with illegal US sanctions:

GoogleAI Overview:

"US sanctions have severely crippled Iran's economy, causing extreme inflation, currency devaluation, and widespread shortages of essential medicine.

"They have significantly diminished the purchasing power of the middle class, driven up unemployment, and restricted access to vital goods, directly impacting the quality of life for ordinary Iranians."

 

[georgephillip]

Yeah, the US are the good guys and the ayatollahs are the bad guys if those are the terms you use to see the world.

Good guys don't maim, murder, and displace millions of innocent people on the opposite side of the planet, do they?

DEATH TOLL FROM MODERN AMERICAN WARS

"America has been in 19 wars since World War II, but we will list the death toll from three of the bloodiest conflicts: The Korean War,

"The Vietnam War and wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The total death toll of people killed by American troops in all these wars put together is over 12 million."

Excellent posts. All facts dumb Americans know nothing about. Even the ones who lived through it.

It’s truly amazing how dumb so many Americans are. Proof propaganda pushed by Zionists works on the feeble minded.

Among my earliest memories are one that took place between my dad and grandfather in the mid-1950s regarding the "police action" in Korea; they were both worried about a repeat of the Great (Republican) Depression without the defense spending that conflict generated:

"Few people know that more bombs were dropped on Korea from 1950-1953 than on all of Asia and the Pacific islands during World War II.

"In fact, the war became such a mess that President Truman even came seriously close to deploying an atomic bomb.

"U.S. Major General Emmett O'Donnell Jr. testified before senate and stated: 'I would say that the entire, almost the entire Korean Peninsula is just a terrible mess. Everything is destroyed. There is nothing standing worthy of the name . . . There [are] no more targets in Korea.'"

Both Israel and Iran, through its Arab proxy, Hezbollah, are presently occupying parts of Lebanon.

The sanctions take a big bite out of the ayatollahs' revenue, but of the money they have left, the ayatollahs have chosen to spend it attacking nearly every ME nation instead of provideing for the needs of teh Iranian people.

Terrible things happen in war, but the US and Israel both follow International Humanitarian Law to minimize harm to civilians, so, yeah, the US is one of the good guys and the ayatollahs are the bad guys.
