So Bibi has been saying they’re months away from nukes for around 25 years, we obliterated everything they worked towards in that time… and they rebuilt the underground sites, acquired enough uranium to enrich (vast amounts more quantities need than plutonium) and are close again? Or we didn’t obliterate it, and that was an embellishment or a lie. One seems more probably than the other.

You may not be aware of the term "dirty nukes". Mayhaps you could gewgle
You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.

I am aware of the term obliterated- Quote: https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025...fake-news/ I remember just six months ago many people laughing at the ones who said this just stirred up something that would turn into something more. Bibi has stood in front of congress for decades warning us they were just weeks away. They said weeks away again, we had to go strike. Then it was obliterated. And now here we go again to hit their magical nuclear weapons program that is again an imminent danger. Rubio in front of a committee today said we may have to do preemptive strikes to protect ourselves. Bringing back the greatest hits.

The push for civil war and uprisings in the US are DIRECTLY attributed to Zionist agendas and influence. Need a briefing? Here's a short analysis:

Probably best they change that. Looks like they have some momentum too. Maybe there's an argument this would tip the scales, and I have no doubt we could decapitate the regime, the question is will that be the best outcome for the Iranian people, if altruism is our driving motive. I guess we would have to ask Iraq and Afghanistan if they are better off now. Some of our longest wars ever, so I'm sure we added stability to them. The problem is we're an incredibly effective military. We can accomplish military objectives in very shockingly short amounts of time. But we struggle with the hearts and minds. Part of it is because we don't have the hearts and minds for this at home, so how are we going to win them over. It's also a challenge to win them over when we overthrew their democratically elected western style government/society and installed a dictator. And we could say that was a long time ago, but we support more dictatorships over there than democracies. Some of those dictatorships are restrictive, and theocratic as well. So while many are protesting there, a real risk exists that foreign attacks unify them behind their flag setting back public sentiment. That often happens when a country is attacked. The other problem is Trump won on saying no new wars, no regime changes, and we're about to decapitate another government in under two months (it looks like). That's not what people voted for. To make that matter worse, congress isn't involved in either of these, and this strike will be well past the 60 days for executive latitude for strikes without congressional approval. But none of this matters. What happens will happen, and nothing we say, or any constitutional decree will change any of that. Almost 40t in debt, and we're going to fight someone else's battle to destroy a nuclear program we already obliterated, or to stop a dictator ship when there are like 60+ all around the world. Or this was all predetermined and said out loud decades ago, and ATS pointed it out ad nauseum. Even rightfully called leaders war mongers for wanting to go to Iran before.

When this armada began moving towards Iran, it was because Trump was going to attack Iran if they used force against the protesters. Now here we are a couple weeks later, and the threat to attack Iran is the same, just for new reasons. Alternatively, it is possible Trump forgot why he wanted to attack Iran in the first place. Kindof the equivalent of me walking into a room, but forgetting why I was there. |
