Trump says he bombed Iran

[SteamyAmerican]

When people post the picture of the map for 'greater Israel' it includes Egypt.
Somewhere way back in this thread are pictures of the propaganda
fantasy of 'greater Israel'.  It showed Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and half of 
Iraq being 'Israel'.

Hey. This non-war is just getting started okay?

We didn’t spend half my lifetime hosing the economy and bombing brown kids in the ME just to stop now okay. Gosh. Clearly the U.S. is beyond reproach regardless of how reprehensible and repulsive our methods are. I mean shoot, you think the IDF was gonna do it all by themself?

Remember kids, Mark Levin needs you to know “one dead IDF soldier is worth thousands of American soldiers’ lives”. So there ya go. We gotta make sure we kill every Muslim we can for the greater good. Who cares that it provides and endless source of generational “enemy combatants”? It ain’t like we are at war right.

Iran was weeks away from having a nuke! Bibi in 1997.

I imagine because of the geopolitics, economics, and sanctions involved.

Most shipping companies rely on the Dollar for oil transactions.

Seems to me switching to the Yuan could cause issues.

The companies might face legal or financial risks not yet seen.

Plus, the practical issue of currency conversion and limited yuan liquidity looks to be problematic.

And would it not also signal political alignment with China and Iran?

I imagine a lot of nations, including our own, may wish to avoid that.

Iran has had 20 years to figure it out, I would imagine.

LLM:

"International sanctions have significantly limited Iran's access to global financial markets, pushing state-linked entities such as the IRGC to find alternative channels for transactions. Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, have provided the IRGC with an effective way to bypass traditional banking restrictions and move money across borders."

The United Nations has no legal jurisdiction.   
We dont' live by what they decree.
They aren't running the world.
They can call it what ever they want.
By our law this is not a war until declared as such by Congress.

Once again, the UN is an irrelevance.

Stuff your laws.

You are on the International stage, where laws apply.  But just ignore them.

I honestly don't know much about Bitcoin, but i trust cryptocurrency about as much as Donald Trump. 

I mean im sure they have had at least a couple of decades to figure it all out.

Im just wondering how that's going to go down.

Considering the implications.

You realise, on the flip side, if you choose to disregard international law, anything could be on the table.

What happens if the rest of the nations choose to do the same?

International laws exist because rules create stability, predictability, and trust between our nations.

Without them, conflicts will escalate quickly and uncontrollably.

And trade and travel will be chaotic, to say the least.

Plus, there goes global cooperation on issues like climate change and human rights...

These laws exist for a reason, Flyers.

But hey, that’s par for course for you Trump haters, it’s what y’all do when you’re not intelligent enough to refute the subject at hand.

There you go belittling and berating someone.

You don't see the irony?  Or the hypocrisy?

Any on topic comment on the legality or justification for your War?

Sometimes it’s well deserved.   You will rarely if ever find me being offensive just because I can. 99% of the time it’s a defensive posture aimed at someone spewing stupid low IQ BS.  We’ve been listening to all the crybabies whine about Trump nonstop for over a decade.  The crap rhetoric gets old, we heard all ya’s whining 10 years ago, it’s been 24/7 since.   It’s become an exercise of tolerance and refrain.  Personally, I’m done with the losers.  

On topic…..Trumps actions are perfectly legal and Iran has 100’s of thousands of deaths on their hands going back 50 years.   The world would be a much better place without their existence.  

Do I need to remind you that they just murdered 50k of their own people for having an opinion.   They’re the lowest form of scum there is and should be taken out for that reason alone.   

They’re evil people, doing evil things, with stupid brainwashed people trying to defend them.

Dang.

How strange. I just replaced America/Israel in your argument and it comes out the same.

Weird.

  You believe him because he agrees with your bias.   
He's an idiot with an agenda.  Just like the rest of the politicians on the planet.

He maybe an idiot politician now, but he was a fairly decent lawyer.

That applies to Russia, China and North Korea. And others.

What are you doing about all that?

Oh, lifting oil sanctions on Russia to allow them to continue murdering Ukrainians, like a good little Putin lapdog.

No, he was crap.
