Trump says he bombed Iran

[andy06shake]

Yes but Bibi isn't Messianic Jew.
Unless he has converted and not told anyone.
And they don't think David was the Messiah.
They are still waiting for him to show up.

He's orthodox is he not?

[CriticalStinker]

Yes, I know.   But he allegedly said 'the RETURN of the Messiah'.
That means he believes the messiah has already been here.
But Jews don't believe that, right?   They reject Jesus and 
there is no one else that they say was 'messiah', so  how can
he 'return'??   The sentence doesn't make sense to me.

lol, my brain didn’t even catch the return part.

I don’t think it could comprehend that statement coming from the leader of Israel.

I don’t know what to make of that. My first reaction is he’s placating, but then why would he have done the statement in Hebrew? He does direct addresses to the west all the time, but those are in English. Why would he say that internally?

He orthodox is he not?

I don't think so.   (I could be wrong)
I think he's like most Jews in Israel ... Jewish in name but not in practice.


I checked GoogleAI to make sure and got this ... Benjamin Netanyahu is considered a secular Jew, raised by a secular father (historian Benzion Netanyahu) and following a pragmatic approach to religion. While not personally observant, he frequently utilizes Jewish religious tradition, history, and symbolism for nationalistic, political, and cultural identity. He has strong alliances with ultra-Orthodox parties.

War day 13.
Still no sign of the new Supreme Leader.
I think that message from him the other day was fake.
His handlers putting out a statement.  Not himself.
I"m thinking this guy is in really bad shape somewhere.
The coma and leg amputation rumors are probably true.

NO SIGN OF LIFE.
I'm not going to believe any messages from him until I see it.
(and are sure it's not AI)

An AI Ayatollah.

Got to be a Netflix sci-fi series in there somewhere.

It's just really bugging me.
Something is wrong with it.
Doesn't fit.

So, he's Jewish and culturally connected, but not strictly Orthodox in practice...

That's what I'm getting about him too.

Makes the sentence he (allegedly) said even more weird.

Unless he became Messianic Jew and didn't tell anyone.

MORE PROOF that the new Supreme Leader is unhealthy enough to be seen in public.  I'm thinking that rumor about a coma is true.  NO PROOF OF LIFE.

Iran released photos of the new Supreme Leader looking healthy and moving among people.   In reality, it is a photo taken years ago and it was digitally enhanced and AI was used on it while they tried to claim it was new.

NY Post - Newly Released Photos of Supreme Leader are AI Fakes

ran is using AI-altered pictures of new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei — amid reports that the successor is too injured to make any public appearance.

 
A probe of the latest photos published by Iran state-media and on Khamenei’s new X account reveal that they have been edited using online AI tools, said Shayan Sardarizadeh, the Senior journalist at BBC Verify.


 
“Google’s SynthID finds watermarks in it that indicate it has been edited using Google AI,” Sardarizadeh wrote on X.
The fake photos appeared to be manipulated from years-old photos of Khamenei attending a pro-government rally, the verification expert added.

Trump 'Throws Allies Under The Bus' As He Blames Hegseth, Jared, Witkoff And Rubio Over Decision To Bomb Iran


Donald Trump has placed several of his closest advisers at the centre of his justification for launching military strikes against Iran, repeatedly naming Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as key figures in his decision-making and sharpening debate over who should be held responsible for the escalation.
The remarks come as the White House continues to defend Operation Epic Fury, the US–Israeli campaign launched in late February targeting Iranian missile infrastructure and military facilities.
During comments to reporters, Trump suggested the decision to act militarily followed intelligence assessments presented by key members of his national security team.
'I thought they were going to attack,' the president said, referencing briefings he received from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.


Trump Cites Intelligence From Inner Circle

Trump's explanation centred on intelligence assessments that Iranian forces posed an imminent threat to American and allied interests in the region.
Speaking to reporters, the president argued that information from his advisers convinced him that Tehran was preparing for a possible attack on US forces.
According to transcripts from a CNN interview segment, Trump said negotiations with Iran had stalled and he believed Tehran was preparing hostile action. 'We were having negotiations with these lunatics... and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first,' he said.
Trump also suggested that Israel had been preparing its own operation against Iranian targets, which influenced the timing of US involvement.
Rubio confirmed that American officials expected an Israeli strike could trigger retaliation against US troops in the region. The administration therefore considered a pre-emptive attack necessary to reduce potential casualties.
The comments have drawn attention because Trump's remarks appear to shift emphasis towards the advice he received from advisers, rather than presenting the decision solely as his own.
 
Political Fallout Inside WashingtonTrump's references to advisers have also triggered discussion within Washington about how decisions on military action are made inside the administration.
Under the US Constitution, the president serves as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and ultimately authorises military operations.
However, modern military decisions typically involve recommendations from defence officials, diplomats and intelligence agencies.

Trump blamed Biden's autopen for not knowing what his government was doing, what's Trump's excuse here?
It looks to me like he now doesn't want to take the blame for the conflict in Iran and is trying to blame those around him and Israel?

It looks to me like he now doesn't want to take the blame for the conflict in Iran and is trying to blaming those around him and Israel?

His remarks suggest his excuse is that he relied heavily on the advice and intelligence presented by his ""inner circle.""

So by repeatedly citing Hegseth, Rubio, Kushner, and Witkoff, he shifts the blame onto other people.

If they told him to jump off a bridge, would he do that also? 

He's forgetting where that buck stops, methinks.
