Trump says he bombed Iran

[quintessentone]

I was thinking they were fired for two reasons.

1. The admin was frustrated this war dragged on:

Leaked footage (White House accidentally posted it and took it down) had Trump saying he thought this would be a three day war. This would align with reports Hegseth thought Iran wouldn’t fight back as hard judging by the 12 day war.

2. There is pushback about future operations, whether that be striking civilian infrastructure or boots on the ground.

Problem with number one is we’re still in a conflict. Probably not the best time to start cleaning house. Also number 2 could be supported if Bondi was pointing out legality issues with hitting civilian infrastructure, or planning boots as we approach the 60 mark without congressional approval.

I've been watching ex-military men explain that top level military should be non-partisan and therefore make non-partisan strategic military decisions, but what they are seeing here now are top level military not leading rather they are just managing Trump and his administration's orders/goals.

It is not surprising to me that any pushback or advice against any Trump administration goals would result in replacing those people with 'yes' people.

As for Kharg Island, let's rename it as appropriate to be known as Porkchop Island where futile sacrifices will amuse USA, Israel and other countries' elitist warmongers who are safe in their ivory and gold encrusted (courtesy of taxpayer dollars) towers.

If this is to be a repeat of the Vietnam War then I expect 'fragging' and/or machine sabotage (as with the recent fire set in the laundry room of the USS Gerald R. Ford as an act of protest/mutiny) to perhaps be the vehicle that will actually stop this war.

It's not just that Iran brutalizes women, but it also believes they are like animals.

It's the preponderance of evidence of Iran's fanatical plans coming to light


[Image: https://denyignorance.com/uploader/image...cc7075.gif]150 billion Barack Bucks spent on missiles and drones with rotating missile launchers under mountains actively shooting at multiple countries, including Barack's home country's bases, is considered a red flag to some. 

Combined with...

Weapons-grade nuclear enrichment 
Fanatical threats towards the West and Israel
Financing, supplying, and spreading the herpes of the Middle East Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis

It's all this, and in addition to whacking their women in the head with a rusty machete, then mowing down 30,000 unarmed protestors for basic women's rights in JANUARY.

The preponderance of evidence against the regime of Iran logically and reasonably supports military action...

Wonder how many women would die if we take out electricity and water ahead of summer.

Kind of hard to take that moral high ground when you enact similar brutality.

Tell it to the majority of Americans who want 'no more wars' - the people have spoken.

----------------

""No More War" protests erupted across the United States in June 2025 and March 2026, driven by anger over President Donald Trump's military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and the subsequent escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict. 

• June 2025 Protests: Following the U.S. attack on sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, the 50501 movement organized "No More War" demonstrations in major cities including New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington, D.C., with organizers condemning the strikes as unconstitutional war crimes. 
  
• March 2026 Protests: The "No Kings" movement absorbed the anti-war sentiment, with a third major rally on March 28, 2026, drawing an estimated 8 million people worldwide and 3,100 registered events across all 50 states to oppose the war, immigration enforcement, and rising costs of living. 
  
• Key Grievances: Protesters, including groups like the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, argued that the administration violated the UN Charter and Congressional War Powers, with polls indicating 60% of Americans opposed U.S. involvement in the conflict. 
  

The movement has evolved from specific anti-Iran war protests into a broader coalition against the Trump administration's foreign policy, with further rounds of demonstrations planned for July 2025 and ongoing rallies in 2026. " (LLM)

Serious concern:
The Americans have sent large forces to rescue the crew of the fighter jet that was reportedly shot down by the Iranians

‼️ Iran's official media outlet IRIB has appealed to local tribes in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province to assist in locating the pilots of a U.S. F-15 fighter jet, with a bounty offered for capturing them alive.

You are still trying to sell bullshit out the back of your donkey cart.

You've been shown the evidence over and over.   
But your bias refuses to allow the truth to sink in.
They processed the nuclear material up to 60%.
Medical grade needs less than 20%.
There was no need to further process.
And they buried it deep underground.
No need to do that if it's medical grade either.
And of course their own rhetoric about promises to destroy Israel, USA, etc.
Those in power in Iran are not a peaceful bunch.   
But go ahead and cling to your false narrative about a peaceful Iran.
You're just talking to yourself when you do.

Even though I think Iran probably does want a nuclear device to counter what they believe to be an 'evil' country intent on their destruction, there are other processes that use a higher enrichment...

 https://armscontrolcenter.org/uranium-en...r-weapons/

Centrifuges spin at enormous speeds and the heavier isotope, U-238, moves to the outside and is then removed, leaving a higher concentration of U-235 behind, which can be further enriched. Most nuclear reactors that produce electricity only require fuel that is enriched to between 3-5% U-235.
This fuel does not represent a proliferation threat primarily because of the critical mass issue — the amount of material necessary to maintain a self-sustaining neutron chain reaction. If the level of enrichment is low, then it holds that the amount of the material must go up in order for a chain reaction to be sustained. The size can quickly become impractical for weapons delivery, so low enriched uranium (LEU) is not a threat.
Highly enriched uranium (HEU) is anything enriched above 20% and weapon-grade uranium is commonly considered to have been enriched above 90% U-235. However, some research reactors use 90% enriched U-235 to produce medical isotopes, so there are civilian applications for this fuel too.

Why does the 20% uranium enrichment line matter?
The simple answer is that enriching uranium to 20% represents about 90% of the effort needed to produce weapons grade fissile material. Once a proliferator reaches this threshold, it could be ready to weaponize in a relatively short time. For research reactor fuels enriched to less than 20%, the plutonium component dominates proliferation concerns, which is why the 20% mark is a useful distinction to differentiate between civilian and military applications.

And there it is! The truth.

[Kurokage]

She's a foreigner that hates America. 

No matter how much evidence or facts that is put in front of her, she will deny all of it.

He's just an American that hates foreigners on here.

No matter how much evidence or facts that's put in front of him that Trump is a dipsh*t, he will deny all of it!!

See how easy it is to just insult fellow members without posting anything to add to the thread??


On topic and to add something to the thread...

If true, I hope the pilot is rescued quickly....

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...dates.html

Iran shares 'video of rescuers hunting for downed American pilot' after showing wreckage of 'shot down F-15 fighter jet' - live updates.
 
Iran has aired footage of an alleged US search and rescue effort amid claims an American warplane was shot down over the country earlier today.
Iranian television channels have shared video of a helicopter said to be flying low over the countryside across southern Iran apparently trying to locate the pilot.
It comes after Iranian military earlier today claimed it has brought down a F-35 fighter jet and forced it to crash.
However, pictures posted by Iranian media of the wreckage appeared to match an F-15 Strike Eagle aircraft based at a British RAF base. 
Aviation experts studying pictures posted of the apparent wreckage say it sports the US Air Force in Europe badge as well as a red tail flash belonging to the 494th Fighter Squadron based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.
Meanwhile Iran has unleashed a ferocious attack on Gulf energy sites striking an oil refinery and desalination plant in Kuwait as well as a major gas complex in Abu Dhabi.
Authorities in Kuwait say one of its power and desalination plants has been damaged following an Iranian hit while the Habshan gas plant in the UAE has suspended operations in response to falling debris.

Well this is progress.
At least you can tacitly admit it now.

What sense does it make for a country, known around the world for sponsoring terrorism, to say they only want nuclear energy for innocent reasons yet build a top secret nuclear facility deep underground beneath a granite mountain?
Why take the time and massive resources trying to hide something they say they aren’t hiding?
Why are they telling us 2+2=5?
