Trump says he bombed Iran

[Randyvine]

Exactamundo.

Silly memes aside, through.

All this crap needs to end.

And all the people who profit from it.

Should be held to account...

Someone will always profit from war someone always has. Could we not make a sort of international law forbidding any and all proceeds from war? Couldn't all gains from any war with todays technology be red taped and documented and then directed to the rightful owners of those proceeds? Now read my mind and tell me who I have in mind as beneficiaries.

That would take forever and you would need evidence and not just conjecture which is why it's not a thing but I like pretty thoughts.

I guess the one-legged gay Mullah still hasn't learned his/her lesson.  (I won't judge) 

We should continue bombing until they surrender.

You do realize that bombing kills people and destroys buildings and stuff?

It's what terrorists do.

And that bombing doesn't differentiate between the bad guys and anyone else that just happens to be nearby?

Please re-read those points.

Just taking Antifa, for example;

1. Who is their infallible leader?

2. Since there isn't an identified infallible leader, how can criticism of the leader be interpreted as persecution of the leader?

3. Also, since there isn't such leader, who is justifying what that leader says or does?

4. Since there isn't an identifiable leader, how can the leader be justified as the source of all truth?

5. Since there is no leader, how can there be followers who must never question him/her?

6. They could be in a cult, though, but not a usual one with a leader or even identifiable rules.

Key details regarding the founding of Antifa:

• First U.S. "Antifa" Named Group: Rose City Antifa is considered one of the oldest U.S. groups to use "antifa" in its name, established in 2007
  

• Original Roots (1930s): The movement was created by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in 1932 to counter the rise of the Nazi Party.
  
• Not a Centralized Group: It is not a formal organization, but rather a loose coalition of autonomous groups focusing on direct action against far-right ideologies.
  
• Modern Resurgence:Modern U.S. anti-fascist efforts trace back to Anti-Racist Action (ARA) in the 1980s, which was formed by punk rock fans to fight neo-Nazi infiltration.
  
  They are the cult of Communism.

There's no credible evidence the UAE is leading a plan to overthrow Iran "within 24 hours."

And if there is, could you at least post a link to the "wild ass rumor?"
 
Toppling Iran's government would require a massive prolonged ground war.

Not a rapid coalition strike.

And point of fact, current reporting shows the opposite.

The UAE is being attacked by Iran, not leading anything, never mind an invasion.

Then there is the fact that bombing civilian infrastructure, water desalination, power plants, and bridges, may well constitute a war crime...

Additionally, it is not exactly the way to win the hearts and minds of the Iranian people.

They wish to see rise up, and take back the nation.

Fascism existed before Nazism, and Communism existed before Fascism.

It was Fascism that positioned itself, militarily, in opposition to any and all preexisting 'isms'.

Communists, Feudalists, Marxists, Trotskyists, Nativists, Anarchists, Monarchists and a heap of other ideologues existed before Italian Fascism, and Italian Fascism opposed all of them - violently and oppressively.

So all those previous systems were, in reaction, anti-Fascist. And all of them were probably initially ignorant of the dangers of Fascism until they found themselves directly threatened. Communism wasn't founded in anti-fascism as fascism was founded in anti-communism.

Communism wasn't the only opponent of fascism. Almost all of Eastern and Western Europe and the US too, regardless of ideology, warred, actually went into battle and took lives and gave theirs, against the fascist alliance.

And fascism was defeated, completely. And all those other ideologies that had survived undertook to work together to make sure that fascism would never happen again.

Yet, as societies became more liberal, the opposition to fascist style views was reduced and so we find ourselves today with the far-right once again trying to usurp power through violence.

In a recent survey, 1/3 of US citizens said they believed that political violence was justified. That's horrific! You'd give away centuries of progress, safety under the law and prosperity to live in a man made hell under the thumb of the biggest bully?

According to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine, Iran has attacked U.S. forces 6 times since the beginning of the nominal ceasefire, and noted that all these attacks, presumably including strikes against their Gulf neighbors, are "below the threshold" of resuming combat operations against Iran.

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said that negotiations and efforts to continue them are still going on “in real time,” adding that Project Freedom allows the time for them to seriously come to the negotiating table.

Glad to see that everything isn’t going to spiral out of control, at least for the time being. 

Im curious if the UAE and Israel will see the latest actions as below the threshold of resuming combat operations. Not so much the UAE, as I don’t believe they even have substantial military capabilities.
