On the bright side, if there is any, the more Trump remains bogged down in Iran, the less attention he can pay to attacking Greenland or selling Ukraine to Putin.

This might encourage more people to move on without Trump. Another year or two of this Fool’s Gold regime could change minds about the value of excessive costs and a badly damaged economy for many of us, including local businesses and smaller corporations.

We must continue to push forward.

"Nobody can embargo sunlight. No cartel controls the Sun. Its energy will not run out. It will not pollute the air; it will not poison our waters. It's free from stench and smog. The Sun's power needs only to be collected, stored, and used." —Jimmy Carter 1978 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/go...

Iran askes just to restore the international law. The real criminals must learn from this regime. The religious fascists are right on this. And the US gets weaker by the minute. Increasing debt and decreasing missiles...

Trump lost the war. Only possible way is to bomb the mullahs into oblivion. But he hasn’t the rockets anymore and not the balls you need for that.

Iran & Israel are 2 sides of the same Trump coin. They both bombed & killed too many Sunni kids & civilians, & what has been happening between them is staged to create a pretext to let Iran hijack the Strait of Hormuz to drain the region Sunnis financially, preparing for Greater Israel The problem:

We must wake up & realize that Israel has been planning for a long time (with its puppets e.g. Trump) to increase corruption, expand its control over USA & strip Americans of their freedoms of speech & voting. This is happening gradually following the 'boiling frog' way. The solution is in my pinned

🇮🇷 ’s authoritarian regime is a global menace. The only answer is total war: complete annihilation of its strike capabilities and the utter destruction of the regime—no mercy, no hesitation, no compromise!

In theory Iran could control the economy of its Sunni enemy Saudi Arabia and UAE&Kuwait. Iran then holds access to the waterway as leverage over Israel's right of return. Resulting in promotion of "terrorists"in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria causing instability in those countries. Iran is dreaming.

Simple response, when the Strait opens to all maritime traffic, and shipping flows reach pre war levels, negotiations begin on other matters, including the withdrawal of Hezbollah from Lebanon, Hamas from Gaza , Houthis from Yemen. Once these Iranian back militias are removed, negotiations start.

Of course Iran, if it’s sensible would not agree to my terms. Nor should anyone agree to theirs. The world is getting by on 94mb/d. It’s costly. There are alternatives for transportation and electricity generation. They are deploying. Iran isn’t getting its oil to market. It needs to, badly.

The world is getting by while depleting its reserves and imposing austerity in many countries. As the reserves become exhausted, "getting by" will get tougher. And there are other items running low (fertilizer, sulfur, helium, and Gulf Arab bank accounts). Time is on Iran's side.

💯Trump is to blame. If he were a real leader, who is patient ~methodical~reasonable~& working for the best strategic long term interest of America, he would not have allowed Benjamin Netanyahu to insist that he terminate a viable USA/Iran nuclear agreement.Now, BiBi has left DT in an Iran war mess.

Iran is a like a shark that smells blood and weakness, you go all in. Could this be the war and event that sets the fall of the American empire? Every empire’s fall is triggered by an event, the event that starts the process. The fall of the British empire started with the loss of India then Suez

The repressive government of Iran has the upper hand over trump. I hate the repressive part but the upper hand over trump is priceless...

Meh, sounds good but trumps word is valueless, like everybody else they're extending negotiations until he's dead and his gang is arrested...?

No, no, sorry, I definitely got the joke. I just like moose, and cows, and while the meme was chuckle-worthy, it's technically inaccurate.... I was under the impression that the internet exists as a place to correct other people's statements (see Fig. 1). Melania Knauss is still a whore.

When the US decided boots on the ground wouldn't be practical to end the war with Japan what happened? When the US decides boots on the ground won't be practical to end the war with Iran what do you think will happen?

the current motley crew in the demolished white house are being played like fiddles. what a clown show. no leverage, low amos, no plan other than “head for an eye”, no brains left to steer this hodge podge of misfits to shore

No mention of the petro dollar. Isn’t this, at the end of the day, the golden egg? If the dollar goes away who will buy US treasuries to finance the trillions in U.S. debt?

Outstanding synopsis of the current Iranian viewpoint. This is something we do not get from the legacy media in the United States.

To any half-wit it was blatantly clear that the arrangement between Oman and Iran was not about "re-opening" the Strait. The US is going to have to start negotiating rather than trying to dictate and they do so from severely weakened position. A shambles that starts at very top.

its a truly deplorable state of the times when i actually feel kinda good that this is shafting trumphole right up his ugly butt. sad for us tho in the rest of the world
