Trump says he bombed Iran

[cherokeetroy]

Gas prices going up to $4.50 is only the beginning 

There's a lag

We're not even in the worst of it, yet

True. But they're losing, aren't they? No closer to that goal today than when they 'obliterated Tehran's nuclear programme.'

Nah. It's all planned out. Sowly Iran is being destroyed. Don't forget that its economy is being destroyed to the point that the people will revolt. Just like the USSR was destroyed by playing with the price of oil and gas. Slowly Iran is being destroyed internally. Add this to the Israeli's and allies so far keeping the gloves on and playing it nice. They have weapons that can terminate the life of genetic persians if necessary. I'm not saying they are going to take the gloves off yet if necessary the elimination of Iran as a threat long term can be carried out. It shouldn't even need the gloves coming off. They say 90% of the people oppose the regime, it wouldn't take much to get a revolution going. Sure the RG are in control, yet a dedicated invasion force of Yanks, IDF, Arabs, Kurds can generate a tidewave in no time when needed. I guarantee, it's all in the planning. Charlie's about to return home soon, then expect the "shooting to start."

It's a big country to invade with boots on the ground, General.

Luckily, America doesn't depend on your admiration or distate for honky-tonk to survive.

According to https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-...erm-growth your country is facing a huge poverty crisis and doctors are fleeing as your social program crumbles around it.

One could even hypothesize that the population leaving is the only reason growth is even shown after the 2022 economic collapse of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka because - less population from professionals leaving

Id say its a sign of sri lanka failing but it looks like it already has. Please don't give the U.S. anymore of your economic ideas, Sri Lanka, or formulate solutions as we now have a record of what it leads to.

Collapse.

You have evidently got it into your head that I'm Sri Lankan. You clearly are not, and your pretence of familiarity with the country and its problems is charmingly transparent. The World Bank article you linked to seems quite upbeat, by the way; perhaps you should have read it before posting it. 

I'm aware that America doesn't (yet) need others' approval to survive. It needs yours, and other Americans'. But it doesn't seem to have that any more, does it? Perhaps you will recover your national integrity, but at present the trend seems to be towards more profound social fracture and increasing practical dysfunction. The coming midterm elections will be a decisive test of your democracy. I fear the US may not pass it.

America's friends around the world are shocked and disappointed. You may not care to hear the things you need to hear from us but you'll hear them anyway, or deafen yourself trying not to.

Any comment on the viability of the American Experiment, going forward?

The American Experiment is going just fine, regardless of what the vocal minority has to say.

Its not pretense if it's fact its right there for anyone to look up I even added a reputable source. I read it thoroughly just because it sounds upbeat to you doesn't mean my hypothesis on why its still failing isn't accurate. The growth isn't enough and if you dug into it further you'd still see its collapse but I dont blame you its hard to see when you're living in it. You are aware of the 2022 collapse right? Sure you are, and you haven't noticed your social programs like medical struggling to survive? Maybe you should get out more often.

America always has American approval idk why you thought that sentence even made sense. I see several Americans approving right here in this thread and a lot more of them than the Americans that aren't by estimate on this thread 2 out of 7 Americans disapprove maybe you need to work on math. Please point to the Americans unapproving and the only thing I see them unapprove of is Trump, not America itself. So thats 2.5x the Americans that approve those odds are pretty ridiculous. As for national integrity I don't think anyone cares how Sri Lanka sees us and the only social fracture I see is your entire socialist Republic fracturing around you. American friends around the world are shocked and disappointed? When was the last time a UK royal member visited Sri Lanka 1981? They are currently enjoying our society at this present moment including the time spent with our representatives. I have nothing to defend, my facts don't lie and all I have seen from you is opinion and everyone has one of those which is why they are valued so little. You know what matters? Finance, and America is an economic powerhouse and Sri Lanka should take note.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lankan...80%932024) here's more reading about it. Your country didn't almost fail it 100% failed and is recovering but people are fleeing this is not a lie so how can we really trust reports of growth from the world bank if thats true? I can find sources of all the professionals leaving if you like

You like quotes, right? Here's one. "Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

[Oldcarpy2]

I am all broken up over that.

We are all broken up about your draft dodging coward insulting our dead and maimed Service men and women.

You proud of that?

I looked that up and he recanted what he said at that (NATO?) Conference and stated that everyone but the uk gave less than they could and then proceeded to praise their military. Still sucks for everyone but the UK and US but thats his opinion and I'd hate for you to be offended on false pretenses even if his opinion doesn't matter.

My disapproval extends beyond Trump to encompass the entire governing system which is controlled by central banks and protected by a two-tier justice system where "fairly elected" officials take advantage of their leadership positions for self-enrichment

Trump was supposed to dismantle the establishment and restore law and order

Instead, he told corrupt Democrats and RINOS, "Hold my beer"
