Trump says he bombed Iran

[CriticalStinker]

It's a constant stream of diarrhea filling their diapers because it's Trump. 

Same old shit from them as usual.

I think a lot of America had valid claims against our government. 

They lied, enriched themselves from power, stayed tapped in after they were "gone", abused power within their branch, helped usher in flirtations of oligarchy, started needless wars, broke debt records and that's just the things we can prove. 

I don't think Trump is some enigma that will be the sole source of decline in my nation. I think he's a symptom. He's not Hitler, he likely won't be a true dictator, but compare him to the other presidents with the grievances above, and it may not be a better picture either. 

You have to give him some credit, he does a lot of it out in the open while confidently saying it's not happening. It's poetic if you think about it given our self awareness to the problems going back many decades. 

Yet it's right here, and the only thing that will happen is America will give Democrats the house and Senate, like that would some how change anything.

The same commies who are now screaming over gas going up clapped like trained seals when Biden said "high gas prices are a small price to pay and Americans will have to endure them for as long as it takes to defeat Russia."

And now partisans with Trump are using the same justification. Small price to pay to take down Iran, a country who's formal military lasted 40 hours, and we've dropped more munitions than shock and awe many times over.

And gas prices are still less than when Biden and his goons bullshitted us about Ukraine and the fake climate shit.

At least now they are ridding the world of religious zealot trash, a worthwhile endeavor.

I don't think he or any of the Democrats really believe the climate stuff. Hell, the US broke it's record of oil production every year under him, while also breaking the record of biggest oil producer ever. Trump has since broken the same record.

They're liars and hypocrites like the rest. They act high and mighty and let the same wars happen or outright vote for them too. All while they have grandiose spending ambitions on top of that. 

But I don't support those people. And I think the difference is with non partisans and partisans is some can say it's bad on both sides, on the matter of principle. And the others will defend it when their guys are doing it.

Trump isn't just breaking records with oil production, he's doing it with debt too.

[EXETER]

So when gas went above 5 dollars under Biden because "muh climate" and the evil communist left was cool with that, then why are they soiling their Depends when it goes about 3 dollars because of war?

Gas prices did not go above 5 dollars per gallon under Biden because of "muh climate" they peaked at 5 dollars per gallon in June of 2022 because Putin attacked Ukraine at the end of February, 2022 which almost immediately took 3 million barrels per day of oil off the international market, and it took that long for the disruption to work its way through the supply chain.  A few weeks after the outbreak of hostilities Biden ordered release of some of the Strategic Oil Reserves to try to soften the impact.  

Perhaps you will have noticed the similarities to what Trump has done?  Like Putin, he started a war of choice at the end of February, which almost immediately took large amounts of oil off the market.  A few weeks later he ordered release of Strategic Oil Reserves (along with many other countries) to try to soften the impact.

Whataya wanna bet that gas will be at 10 dollars per gallon by June?

[Astyanax]

Nope.  Already been explained.   Self defense.   Completely legal.   
And Congress doesn't have to be notified of military action  until day 60
if war is not declared.   ANd it hasn't been declared.
Nothing illegal about this action.

I said bunkum. Read the links and stop placing your own interpretation on the law.

[Astyanax]

All is lost on you... you’ve always sounded the fool... belittling and berating someone doesn’t make you right, it makes you sound ignorant... yadda yadda yadda yadda

But….I digress, not going to stoop to your level with tit for tat drivel, happy Trump hating to ya….

Still not one substantive argument, just more hysterical babbling.

[Astyanax]

Yep.  Last war declared by USA was World War II.
The others were military operations, not declared.
Obviously they were war, but undeclared.

I find the exercise of following your logic invigorating. It appears that, according to you, words trump actions. An act of war isn’t actually war until it’s been approved by Congress or something.

Most people understand that words may lie, but actions always speak the truth. Should we ask the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Cambodians, the Laotians, the Iranians (in 1980, 1987, 1988 and 2025), the Hondurans, the Grenadians, the Panamanians, the Libyans, the Somalis, the Afghans, the Yemenis and, of course, the Iraqis, whether or not America has been to war since 1945?

Shall we ask the living relatives of the Iranian schoolgirls and their parents slaughtered by your Tomahawks?

You say these were not wars? Then, madam, they were massacres. Hang your head in shame, for you have made yourself an apologist for mass murder.

"Mr. Khamenei received 59 out of 88 votes, securing a solid two-thirds majority, though it falls short of unanimous support. Mojtaba would undoubtedly have struggled to achieve this majority himself, especially with ongoing rumors about his urgent surgeries and security needs in Moscow.

Morale among military and security forces is plummeting, and rising desertion rates are now a significant challenge, particularly within law enforcement.

The Iranian leadership is clearly out of touch with reality. Larijani’s statements to the Arab world are rife with contradictions. For years, Tehran has boasted about controlling Arab capitals while dismissing others as U.S. and Israel puppets. You cannot invest decades in funding armed groups to destabilize the region and then feign surprise at your isolation. 

This claim in the NYTimes article is not accurate based on other accounts from Iran: "Mr. Khamenei received 59 out of 88 votes, a clear two-thirds majority but still far from unanimous." Only 59 assembly members attended the second meeting not the 88 members. The rest likely stayed away in protest to the pressure from IRGC. Out of the 59 present, reportedly only 50 voted for Mojtaba Khamenei, which was two-thirds of those present but not two-thirds of the entire council. Had the assembly met under normal circumstances, Mojtaba would likely have struggled to secure two-thirds of the full council. @afshari_aku had also a post about this point a few days ago: https://x.com/afshari_aku/status/2030979302594896251 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/world...eader.html

According to information obtained by Iran International, declining morale and desertion among military and security forces are on the rise. Desertion among law enforcement personnel has become one of the government's serious challenges, and at one of this force's bases, about 350 individuals have abandoned their posts. Reports indicate that in some units, the rate of desertion or absence has reached as high as 90 percent. Some reports also suggest that the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has recalled a number of its retirees to service to compensate for the personnel shortage and has even encouraged some prisoners to cooperate with security forces with the promise of amnesty. In the Air Force as well, according to received reports, morale and operational readiness are at a low level. It is said that many pilots, especially following the downing of a Yak-130 aircraft in a confrontation with an Israeli F-35, have no desire to fly or face the Israeli or U.S. Air Forces, and combat readiness levels have declined. https://iranintl.com/202603165007

The Iranian leadership is completely disconnected from reality, and Larijani's latest message to the Arab world is just full of contradictions because for years Tehran bragged about controlling Arab capitals while labeling everyone else as USm/Israel puppets. You can't spend decades financing armed groups to destabilize the region and targeting Gulf security with your factions then act shocked when you're isolated and ask why nobody is supporting you now. It's time to look in the mirror @alilarijani_ir and see the consequences of your own actions over the last few years.

Gulf Arab states didn’t initially support war with Iran, but are now urging the U.S. not to stop until Iran can no longer threaten regional oil routes.

This shift follows Iranian missile and drone attacks on Gulf airports, ports, and energy facilities, along with disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Gulf leaders now see Iran as a direct and ongoing threat.
