Trump says he bombed Iran

[David64]

God, this sort of partisan binary nonsense is what ruined ATS.

Then why participate ?

There are other threads like the one about the Dendera Lightbulb that only has 6 pages or the Australian UFO with 1 page of replies....and then there's this political thread with almost 800 pages.

Politics keeps the lights on. Everything else is just a by product.

I'd maybe send in a ton of decoy ships and hit anything on the coastline that lights up.

My apologies.  Please let me know what threads I may participate in?

I’m curious if and how the naval ships equipped with the Aegis ballistic missile defense system/ABMD might be utilized in the strait.  I know they can intercept short and intermediate range missiles, not sure about drone defense. 

Seems to me if Iran tried to destroy a ship with missiles that it would be intercepted and they’d pay dearly.  

I don’t see them as being capable of keeping the strait closed much longer.  



“Aegis BMD is an expansion of the Aegis Combat System deployed on warships, designed to intercept ballistic missiles in mid-course phase(i.e., after the rocket burn has completed but prior to reentry into the atmosphere). Aegis BMD-equipped vessels can engage potential threats using the Standard Missile 3 mid-course interceptors and the Standard Missile 2 and Standard Missile 6 terminal-phase interceptors.”

I wasn't saying you need permission from me or anyone else. Since ATS it's been " be the change you want to see".

If you don't like the partisan politics, don't participate in the thread and let it die. Find something better to do.

It's Spring. There are gardens to plant, the flowers are blooming and there are fish to be caught and lies....stories, I meant stories to be told about the one that got away.

Well I feel like this is a really simple matter to be addressed. Now if Only Trump can just throw BiBi under the bus as he rightly deserves, much of the world can probably regain normality in a few years.

Iran VP: Deal possible if US negotiators are America Firsters rather than Israel Firsters
 
In a post published on X on Saturday, Aref wrote: “If we negotiate in Islamabad with representatives of 'America First,' an agreement beneficial to both sides and the world is probable. However, if we face representatives of 'Israel First,' there will be no deal.”
“We will inevitably continue our defense even more vigorously than before, and the world will face greater costs,” he added.

I feel like this is a reasonable position.

A feisty discussion on what type of biscuits are served with tea.

I will post where I like.  Thanks.

Then don't complain when the only threads that get attention are about politics.

President Donald Trump told CNN today that China will have “big problems” if it ships weapons to Iran.
Asked by CNN’s Betsy Klein about US intelligence that indicates Beijing is preparing to send weapons to Iran, he suggested that Beijing would face consequences if it did.
“If China does that, China will have big problems, OK?” he said as he left the White House for Florida.
Trump did not say whether he has spoken to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, whom he is set to meet with early next month in China.

As if they haven't been doing this all along.

What's Trump going to do. Charge Americans more tarifs.
