Trump says he bombed Iran

[IDELB2006]

I'm a realist too. At this point, there isn't a way we can make is zero, but there are ways we can stop the bleeding.

There are always going to be things we will spend on, some we need more than others. But that doesn't mean we just say "it doesn't matter, so we can do whatever we want".

It would be like an individual who's primary cost each month was interest payments car breaks down and is done. Well, to keep paying the interest I have to keep a job, so I'll need a new car. You could get a used car for far less, a brand new car for far more which will take longer to pay off, or a Porsche. Which is the wise decision there?

Spending is going up, not down. Revenue is going down, not up. There is no cheat code, all of this will have to reconcile through taxes, inflation, or default.

For starters, Trump has dunked on all past presidents for not profiting from past wars.

​Trump is already taking Venezuelan oil. For some reason he is depositing the money in a middle eastern bank, but at the very least he could put those funds toward the expense of extorting Venezuela.

If Trump can manage a more effective regime change in Iran, he may be able to do something similar their as well.

I’ll bet they’re sorry they bribed Trump with that gold-plated 747 and now have nothing to show for it.

People with psychopathic narcissistic tendencies tend to have rules for everyone else, and none for themselves.  

They operate on double standards.

Meaning morality applies to everyone else...

And they will readily break laws, norms, or social expectations themselves, yet harshly judge or punish others for the very same actions...

You might say that. I, couldn't possibly comment 

Wouldn't want to be told off for TDS and mud slinging and all...

Who, in their correct frame of mind.

Never mind a hardline Muslim fundamentalist.

Would wish to even consider peace with America now?

I mean, from his perspective, they have just murdered his father.

And killed numerous other family members.

Never mind are actively trying to destroy his nation.

Turn it around the other way.

Say Iran managed to wipe out Trump, his family, and destroy the White House.

Does anyone really imagine JD Vance would be up for talking about peace and surrender a month down the line? 

Peace deal by Monday...

Somehow i don't imagine thats on the cards...

More chance of Jesus coming back on Easter Monday imho.

Israelis are waiting the greenlight from US to bomb the power plants, and based on Orange Jesus's pattern of behavior, it will probably be this week, if not the opening salvo for tomorrow.

Interestingly enough, unknown drones just attacked an Iraqi oil field the day after Iran approved allowing Iraq to transit its oil. Its primary customers were China and Turkey, so it is probably a safe bet they were not Iranian drones.

Bazarkan is one of the largest oil fields in Maysan. It is operated by a consortium of international and state-owned companies under a long-term contract with Iraq’s Missan Oil Company (MOC). Among the companies are China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and Türkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortaklığı (TPAO).
 
Nevertheless, the nationality of the companies operating at the Bazarkan oil field suggest that Iran’s allies were not behind the latest attack.
Notably, the attack took place as the Iranian military announced that Iraq will be exempted from shipping restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz.
 

“Brotherly Iraq is exempt from any restrictions we have imposed on the Strait of Hormuz,” Iran’s military spokesman said in an Arabic-language video statement published by state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.

Bloomberg News said that the declaration has the potential to unleash as much as three million barrels a day of Iraqi oil cargoes. An Iraqi official, however, cautioned that the usefulness of the exemption will depend on whether shipping companies are willing to risk entering the strait to collect cargoes.
The attack on the Bazarkan oil field may have been carried out in retaliation to the Iranian declaration, possibly to keep energy prices up.

It's diabolical, truth be told.

I never thought the USA could be led down the garden path like that.

It may be diabolical, but in warfare it is a legitimate target. Cut the funding sources for your enemies financiers type of logic and all. All sides commit to this and have been doing so in many modern conflicts that  move beyond border skirmishes.

I just wonder what Iran is going too hit in retaliation, how  many data centers and Israeli logistics routes will be destroyed. They will probably go full force on Israeli power generation, maybe a little bit less on UAE and KSA.

Considering that Iran is alleged to have already shot down a Chinese drone (used by UAE and KSA) those two states are clearly now contributing to kinetic action. 

(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — Iranian air defence forces may have unintentionally exposed a far more dangerous regional escalation after wreckage displayed near Shiraz appeared to belong not to an American MQ-9 Reaper, but a Saudi or Emirati-operated Wing Loong II.
If confirmed, the incident would represent the first publicly documented evidence that Gulf Cooperation Council states are directly conducting reconnaissance or strike-support operations inside Iranian airspace alongside broader American and Israeli pressure.
The strategic implications extend far beyond a single destroyed drone because Iranian commanders initially framed the wreckage as evidence of direct American participation, while emerging technical analysis instead points toward covert Gulf involvement.

I was initially suspicious about all that investment money coming from the Middle East. Heck, I would go as far as saying this may have been the plot all along with those normalization Abraham Accords, but Saudi Arabia has not been a signatory. the UAE however, has . Could be Saudi demanded this in order to sign on.

Hard to speculate on this without more data.

I just wanted to add, the Chinese Wing Loong II has another historical milestone back in 2017, it was the first drone to be destroyed in combat, in an active battle zone, by a vehicle mounted laser mounted on a Turkish HUMVEE if the official story is to be believed. I made a thread on it on ATS, which I will have too start referencing soon since there is an archive.
