But I’ll play the reverse Uno and say Trump’s MIC double-dips when Israel attacks Turkey with U.S. weapons and they in turn defend themself with U.S. weapons. And where does this leave NATO?
Then it’ll be game on and quite interesting to see how Trump spins it.
As for NATO...so far:
"NATO's transformation commander says it's a "question of speed" to incorporate battlefield lessons learned in Ukraine.
In an interview with DW, Admiral Pierre Vandier said the alliance wants to use innovation to get ahead of Russia's capabilities."
"Following his speech and appeal for more help with air defenses, Norway on Tuesday committed to spend some 3 billion Norwegian crowns (roughly $306 million or €268 million) for ballistic missile air defense in Ukraine."
"This event has coincided with a string of procurement, spending and project announcements pertaining to the industry, including but by no means limited to: - NATO will open formal talks with Sweden's Saab on the acquisition of up to 10 GlobalEye early warning and control aircraft, a deal worth several billion, with first deliveries possibly as soon as 2030
- Germany's Rheinmetall and US defense contractor Lockheed Martin signed an MoU to produce ATACMS missiles in Germany in future, the first such production of the short-range missiles outside the US
- Denmark plans to purchase two Arctic submarine-hunting Boeing P-8A Poseidons from the US, emphasizing the role the planes can play over Greenland
- The UK plans to spend roughly a quarter of a billion dollars on Lockheed Martin's Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) program, buying long-range strike missles
- Norway, Finland, Germany and Denmark sign a letter of intent for the purchase of up to five Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton high-altitde surveillance drones
- German rocket maker Isar Aersopace signed a contract with Canada's Maritime Launch Services to build and use a dedicated launch pad for its Spectrum rocket at Spaceport Nova Scotia, eastern Canada
- And news of Canada's plans to purchase up to 12 submarines from a German manufacturer already slipped out overnight, as our more dedicated followers will know"

Don and Pete well done just keep pounding the Iranians. There is no other way, just keep pounding them. Learn from Israel, you have to just keep hitting these nations every now and then to stop their militaries progressing.
Now we have news that ok the nukes in Iran are put back in development, well done! Thing is Bibi's just come out and stated their WMD capability still exists in the form of chemical weapons. You need to eliminate this threat asap one way or another......................
"Iran 'definitely' has chemical weapons despite nuclear setbacks, Netanyahu warns" https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-n...cle-901824

Of the three principal belligerents, only Israel has any reason (or desire) to prolong the conflict. The rest of the world (Russia and its friends perhaps excluded) earnestly wishes it to end. And that (one hopes) will suffice to restrain Israel. And so, I reckon, that's that.
They'll be peace talking till kingdom come, but the war is over.
I don’t believe the war is over unfortunately.
The MOU was objectively on shaky ground, and alas we’ve come to blows again.

The title of the thread is still accurate:
https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/08/world/liv...aine-trump
Trump threatens more strikes on Iran after saying ceasefire is ‘over'
But we had what Trump called good talks with NATO!
Quote:NATO summit: Meanwhile, Trump adopted a more positive tone toward NATO following meetings today, saying leaders had a “great meeting.” NATO’s chief has touted increased European and Canadian defense spending — a major focus for Trump.
Most unified he says he has ever seen it, if you can believe what he says still.
* Upon checking what he actually meant was I called Spain terrible and said I want Greenland again.
But here's something you can believe, what the Iranian sympathetic position says:
Quote:(The airstrikes are) not a sign of strength but an admission of the failure of a policy built for years on force, sanctions and threats, which ultimately failed to bring the Iranian nation to its knees."
“The criminal and murderous Trump should be spoken to in the language he understands, apparently, that is the language of force,”
They are as bad at this as we are at least.
But whose gonna do that?
Your BRICS allies are giving you passive encouragement, money, some weapons, but letting you otherwise get bombed and left with drones and little boats to go with the drones.
So shut up and go fund a Hezbollah encampment in a Lebanese Christian village or surrounding orphanages.
But be glad our president confused you with Albania and wants to endlessly wag the dog of no ground war, making our oil companies billions, and giving people something else to focus on.
The key consideration: "can we get them to be more like the UAE without significantly harming their energy infrastructure or risking infantry?"
And such a goal is designed to be endless when its Iran you want to westernize without invasion.

Do Trump's senile old man moments make funnier memes than Biden's did?
Maybe Jabal Fawji also came to Muhammad? And they built a mosque on it because Allah protects them from stratavolcanoes.
They call themselves "The Empire of The Crescent Moon."

111 missiles shot and all stopped?
Japan is not an Islamic republic. It is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary government.
In numerology and spirituality, Angel Number 111 is a powerful sign of new beginnings, alignment, and rapid manifestation. Seeing it frequently is the universe's "green light" to reset, let go of past habits, and trust your intuition as your thoughts are quickly turning into reality. [ 1, 2, 3, 4]

Well, we voted for him to do these Summits for us over Kamala Harris fearing her comment would be,
"i am so privileged to get to be here in Tur-Kee-Yay at this summit representing the privilege of America as the American here representing American privilege."
So we get Trump reminding everyone of something in March only butchered through elderly memory to become the Islamic Republic of Japan without realizing the slip..
Also confused Putin and Zelensky again.
The IRGC claim: 4 missiles, one hit vessel.
CENTCOM: Iran fired missiles unsuccessfully.
Trump Claum: We shot down 111 simultaneously missiles and none came close!
So the angelic number is more an exaggeration element. Like a war story that fought off 10 enemies with single machete.
