Trump says he bombed Iran

[FlyersFan]

Never heard of this news outlet before ...

For what it's worth ... 

Israels foreign minister says Khamenei still alive as far as he knows.

Khamenei Still Alive ??

[quote]Following reports by some Israeli media channels that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was believed to have been killed in Saturday morning's strikes, the Iranian foreign minister has said the Ayatollah is still alive.  Israel's Channel 12, citing unnamed Israeli sources, said there were growing indications that the 86-year-old leader had been killed. The outlet said there were "growing indications" to this effect.  Other Israeli media outlets also reported the information, citing Channel 12, but cautioned that a confirmation was expected.   Asked about the reports, Israel Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi told NBC News in an interview that Khamenei was still alive, "as far as I know".

If Obama had done this during the last Iranian uprising, the world would be in a better place.

But better late than never.

Prayers for our troops, and the Iranian civilians.

Yeah ... 

Now Iran just picked up and started their nuke program up again while lying about it.

So the bombing didn't change anything.   

Just delayed what is happening now by a few months.

Bibi has been saying they are close to a nuke for 28 years.

Trump said we obliterated their whole program and fissile material. Obliterated. People clowned skeptics in this very thread months ago, citing the White House release it was fully destroyed.

So they couldn't do it in 28 years, but now it's a threat after they have to start from scratch?

Looks like we're doing some lying too.

Of side interest ... this will affect India.

$1.2 Billion in Indian Rice Imported to Iran Affected

Didn't know that Iran imports a huge amount of rice from India.

India isn't sure that the imports will still go to Iran.

That means there will be a rice glut ... prices of rice from India should fall at the grocery stores.

But better late than never.

Unless the Democrats screw it up on Monday.
Or wussy world leaders like Macron screw it up on the world stage.

And if Obama had, you would of been on ATS moaning about being dragged into another 'forever' war!!

Lets hope America succeeds in removing the ayatollah and reaches it's goals before there's any serious attacks on U.S. assets. If they do succeed though, all they'll leave behind is a power vacuum with groups like ISIS and the IRG chomping at the bit.

It looks like things are already in motion??

President Donald Trump is facing furious backlash from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle after launching a 'massive' military campaign against Iran.
The president announced in a surprise video early Saturday that the US was engaged in a 'major' campaign to ensure Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
He also warned that US troops could be killed during the dangerous campaign in conjunction with Israel, as it 'often happens in war.'
'Operation Epic Fury' got underway in the early morning hours as reports of explosions across the Middle East started raining in. 
'Bombs will be dropping everywhere,' warned the president. 
The US base in Bahrain, which houses the US Fifth Fleet, was hit, and Iran's Foreign Ministry threatened to attack all American military assets in the region.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly informed the bipartisan congressional 'Gang of 8' intelligence heads shortly before the strikes.
But the administration did not seek formal congressional approval, which is a prerequisite to war, according to the US Constitution. 
Trump's unilateral action is now setting off a firestorm of criticism as lawmakers slam his 'illegal' strikes.

Wars are only good when MAGA starts them.

Well, well, well. It’s really about time that the leaders of war mongering countries are targeted themselves, and it’s not just the citizens and conscripts etc that are being killed.

Of course most wars could be avoided if the leaders had to put themselves and their families on the front lines. But that’s not how it goes, is it?

I remember watching Walter Cronkite and the Vietnam war on the news as a kid, and I find myself thinking that nothing has changed. Same shit, different day. I say make the leadership have something serious to lose and then we will see change in a fucking hurry!

Meh, as usual, my 2 pesos…
