Q: But 10 weeks in, are we any closer to get rid of Iran's nuclear materials? RUBIO: They no longer have a conventional shield. They have no Navy left. They don't have an Air Force. That's a very substantial achievement. That was the purpose of this.

It occurs to me the reason they say this nonsense publicly is because they are all telling the Orange Idiot this so he doesn’t break out the nuclear codes.

The new line of the Administration is that it’s all a Defensive Operation on behalf of the world. So they dropped a missile on the school killing 160 children because they posed a threat to the rest of the world.

Remember how they went after Clinton over 4 dead in Benghazi? 12 hearings and every one exonerated her. But a lot of people still blame her and call her Killery. Trump has killed hundreds of thousands with COVID and anti vax propaganda. He has killed hundreds of civilians in war crimes.

I personally don’t care beyond the fact that destroying their nuclear program was one (of many) reasons given for this war. If that, in fact, didn’t happen then it just further confirms what all of us already know: that the war was utterly pointless and completely unsuccessful.

* The "Vietnam quagmire" refers to the U.S. entanglement in a prolonged, unwinnable war, characterized by incremental escalations, faulty intelligence, and an inability to exit without losing credibility. { Trump's Iran War, is the Strait of Hormuz "Quagmire". } * bsky.app/profile/carl...

Trump involves America in a quagmire, Entanglement in a needless Israeli sponsored Iran War, closing off the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off 20% of the global oil supply that will in time cause a global economic recession, & now Trump whining NATO will not solve problem created by Israel & Trump.

They have ballistic missiles and drones. Do they have any more WWII F-5s like the F-5 that penetrated layered U.S. air defenses and bombed Camp Buehring in Kuwait ? Is the administration saying they destroyed all of them?

But when they have a natural choke point / killbox on a waterway do they really need a navy to destroy shipping vessels? Some well supplied groups of soldiers, spaced out as required, armed to the teeth with missile launchers would probably work too...oh.

And how many journalists stood up and said “no it wasn’t”? How many journalists asked “Iran still has nuclear weapons and there has been no regime change, explain yourselves”? None.

Wouldn't it have been better to just negotiate instead of bombing them first ? Like Obama did ? He got a good deal, these real-estate investors hes sending cant get it done.

Total BS - interesting vibe in that room - laughing , giggling - Karoline might be out of a job -Rubio has the bandwidth - no state dept responsibilities

✔️everything except his duties of negotiating with foreign countries .. as a Secretary of State.. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤯. I guess Jared would be more qualified for foreign affairs. 🙄🤯

"That was the purpose of this" 🤦‍♂️ It started out being about regime change. When announcing the start of the war, Donald quite clearly said the Iranian people should rise up. That failed. Then there was the awkward pivot to nuclear. Despite that being "obliterated" months before. Now it's ... ?

Q: The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was working well; a plan that all parties agreed upon. Trump pulled out of that agreement to spite Obama and now we find ourselves indulging the Trump regime's lust for war porn. RUBIO: What was your question?

Despite Rubio & this dotard administration’s constant lies, U.S. intel indicates that Iran maintains significant military capabilities. Iran has about 60% of its naval forces & about 2/3s of its air force that are still operational.

This almost entirely depends on how you define "Navy" and "Air Force". Most U.S. missile systems are assigned to our Air Force. Ukraine has demonstrated the significant capability of unconventional, unmanned remote systems to repel one such military.

Just chucking it out there that at a regime that has had its conventional military options destroyed is far more likely to see obtaining (and potentially using) nuclear weapons as their only viable path to ensuring their future security…

Ok…they don’t have a conventional shield but the question was if we’re any closer to get rid of Iran’s nuclear material.

Rubio said twice that DJT is heartbroken by the way the Iranian people are abused by their government. Donald Trump’s government abuses men, women, and children in containment camps on a daily basis. WTF. At least Rubio did take a lot of of question and was polite and non-confrontational.

And to achieve that the taxpayers paid 200 billion $ and 13 soldiers dead and hundreds were wounded and we have disrupted the global economy , and we committed war crimes and we killed hundreds of Iranian civilians!?!!?? Good job Rubio… Good job sadistic psychopath. 😡

If they supposedly don't have a navy and air force anymore, how come neither you (the US) nor Israel have fully taken over Iran or have full control of the Strait of Hormuz? Calling you lot clowns would be an insult to clowns. 🫩

Their navy and air force never threatened the US. Their enriched uranium could still make a dirty bomb, though. And now they have more incentive to do so. How are we safer?

So long story short you still don't have the nuclear materials. Funny how destroying all that stuff is still not getting you want you want. Well done you fucking morons.

And I'm sure everybody in the room can see he still didn't answer the question. They're talking about things that were already discussed and people already know. Nobody had any illusions that the 50-60 y/o Iranian Ships and Air Force are gone. The question was about nukes and Rubio's not responding

Defending the indefensible is a hallmark of sycophancy. Sycophancy is very risky and often destructive to an organization or govt. It reinforces misinformation and increases high-risk decision making errors.

Trump should have asked Netanyahu why they were attacking Iran. They don't seem to know why, or how to achieve what they don't know what they are trying to achieve.

Substantial my ass. We destroyed a bunch of cold war relics most of which haven't been battle tested for decades. If Trump just bombed the main nuclear sites without warning last year, their program would be done for. Instead he loudly signalled the attack way ahead of time to make it about himself
