Trump says he bombed Iran

[CriticalStinker]

We also want to cut the fraud that will pay for more booms, while we cut taxes.

Yet spending has only increased, and they want to raise the department of war budget from 1t to 1.5t.

It would be like someone in debt saying they’re cutting out Starbucks while still increasing spending, purely performative.

When your credit card is maxxed..just get another credit card!!!

I drive a lot for work and  I'm paying over 9$ a gallon, everything else has gone up to some degree. Getting real tired of this..mr no more wars..it'll be over in a week..etc, etc. And his people believed it..I predicted at least a year of this.

It looks like taco Tuesday came early.

It is curious how he puts this part. 

prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached.

In my mind that would indicate more than missile strikes. Not that I would expect Trump to speak clearly, or even make sense.

And yet you want to cut the taxes that would pay for those bombs.

I want to cut wasteful spending.

I want to cut wasteful spending.

We’ve spent over 10 trillion dollars in the Middle East over the last 30 years.

I can’t think of many more bigger wastes.

Time to manipulate the markets again

I don’t think the manipulation is working that well any more. The whole world knew this was just an empty threat. The fat old wolf-crier chickening out yet again. What a fool he looked in Beijing, lapping up Xi’s smirking hospitality. 

There will be no more attacks, except perhaps by Israel. The Iran war is over. Iran won. This actually happened on Day 7 of the war, or thereabouts.

In the meantime, this thread has been dragged way off topic by a clever old troll and the foolish people who can’t resist engaging with him. Like Trump’s stupid attack on Iran, it’s over.

A bit harsh.... The Chinese call them "Paper Tigers"...

And every antichrist needs a Waterloo or Russian winter. 

Really though, my only fear is his refusal to be wrong starts the ACTUAL war that ends up like Iraq. He can tap out now, but he wants to drag this out for a selfish pride motive, I think..  

And at least the Gargomel Tyrant is trying to do this with as few servicemember casualties as possible, and no ships have been lost in a naval war. He might even be grasping he is not going to get the Venezuela response and he cant threaten it open. Plus he lost credibility with anything he says now. 

But really, tip of the hat to Israel for actually winning this war. Their immediate neighbors that use to hate them want us to destroy their biggest sworn enemy now...

Trump cant get his demands in Iran, but Israel can go after their neighboring proxies without much fuss from Gulf media now. So thats good for them..

Half this war was won... Just feels like we got willfully used as muscle and left with the unwinnable part of it.

Oh, you just don't see the fun!

We have our own Charlie Kirk, only we dont shoot them here.  We let them endlessly run everyone in fallacy circles and learn how to deal with rhetorical gimmick/traps better. Or try to.

You can do different things too... The Schick is a given, but you can do different things with how you approach the brick wall of endless deflection..

Delays "Major Attack" once again.

He's like one of these wee no-marks that tell you they are coming to get you, yet never appear... 

[Orby]

Dona and Pete, you got to keep hitting them til they hand over that uranium. No arabs or persians have the nuke yet, you and the rest of TPTB worldwide know that this position must continue for the good of humanity.

Keep hitting them lads or use your bulldog the IDF to do it. But keep hitting them one way or another till they hand over  that uranium, otherwise it's time to take it from them, one way or another. People who understand how grave the situation is of Iran getting nukes totally back you

I actually think that is the best, smartest move he could make right now.
