US-Iran War Mudpit Thread

Hey. As long as Israel gets me tax $ I don’t care who wins.

FWIW, Minnesota/Somalia, Cali, Massachusetts, etc., all jacked our tax dollars

That's the feedback loop.

Each politician says it's not a big deal if I increase debt because the presidents before me did too. It's OK if my family profits off the office, the other presidents did too. I have to go to this war because other presidents messed up the region. My side isn't the only one who lets money gets wasted, the president before me broke the record before me.

Then the next one will come in and do the same thing and break those records too.

If someone campaigns on highlighting all that's wrong with America, bashing the other presidents for screwing it up... Are they better when they do the same things?

If we're consistent and acknowledge those problems, and use them as a grading scale... Than I don't see how we could say it's OK that one does it because the others did it too. Makes no sense.

Even if Trump wraps up the war nice and neat right now, I think the midterms are done for him. Even if Iran looks like a victory, most people didn’t want it outside of his base. I just don’t see how it moves the needle for mid terms. And again, it doesn’t make a difference to me who wins those.

That said, I’m pretty confident once that happens the left does the same “mandate” thing as the right after said win, and the party just forces whatever dipshit they can find down the voters throats. So it will probably be an even contest in 2028.

I know a lot of the older generation isn’t obsessed with debt, it’s not going to be a do or die problem for another 5-10 years, and by that time a lot of the voters who don’t care will be retired anyways. It’s more of a younger generation problem. The left will continue overspending on social programs that don’t actually help anyone, and the right will continue Middle East wars each time they’re in office like the last three…. And the left will either vote for those wars or refuse to block them.

Exactly, rightfully so, and both demographics have their salient points. Who moves the vote? I lean right, but it was the thought of Hillary and Kamala that won Trump the elections.

SAY IT WITH ME, historically it's rare AF to hold the trifecta majority through midterms. I don't think they lose both the Senate and the House, though.

More so I don't think the Democrats have a viable challenger to Rubio or even Vance.

This is what the Dems hope the war fails just to give them a shot.


I follow politics,

but I rarely vote and live in a blue district and county, who cares, the higher taxes are one overt difference

Starlink works in Iran.
It’s illegal but they say there’s about 50,000 units in country.
The regime has been proactively blocking, jamming and hunting dishes.
SpaceX made it free there but with all the jamming and hunting, it’s a crap shoot using it.
The regime has already seized hundreds of them and you can only guess what they’ve done with their owners.
I’m sure there’s a few smart disciplined people using it effectively.
This would explain some of the video and information that’s been getting out despite the military hunting them.

That kind of thing has been going on there for a long time.

We hired a couple of Iranians in the early 90s, good guys. They got out of Iran after the war, they said a lot of people have a satellite setup in their kitchen to access information or entertainment..they had to be careful about it though.

I think government averted the fertilizer crisis!

"Today the House advanced HB3660, a bill to legalize the use of composted human bodies as fertilizer. If this bill is put into law, Oklahoma joins 14 states that have legalized this process. So, instead of outlawing this type of practice outright, we’re on track to take the use of humanure as fertilizer another disgusting step forward."

Future historians might call it "Soylent creep."

Now our food... will be us.

Pain is coming.

At some point, some of us that recognize patterns, see: Gaza, mission creep, boots on the ground, the incoming energy lockdowns, the increase from 34 to 42 for enlistment, Lebanon, not a single IDF soldier being convicted of war crimes, false flags in the ME (Diego Garcia) and now this as the plan that was always gonna be rolled out for us plebs.

WWIII gonna be like BF6 meets ARC Raiders. But with no enjoyment for anyone involved.

I want off this ride.

Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia has reportedly asked Pakistan to repay a USD 6.3 billion loan after Pakistan failed to honor the bilateral defense pact, under which an attack on one is considered an attack on both. Saudi officials are reportedly unable to reach Pakistan’s PM & army chief. 24 MAR 2026 | 08:00 ET ET SOURCE: Daily ISRAEL24 (@dailyISRAEL24)

?Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman delivered one of his most direct public assessments of the Iranian regime, describing it as a purely ideological project with no interest in serving its own people and every interest in funding terrorism and destabilizing the region.

His evidence was concrete. Iran received $150 billion in sanctions relief yet did not build a single street, residential complex, or industrial facility for its citizens. Every dollar went toward launching missiles at Saudi Arabia and financing terrorist organizations across the world.

MBS went further than most Western leaders have been willing to go publicly, stating directly that Iran's support for terrorism extends well beyond Hezbollah and the Houthis. He noted that senior Al-Qaeda leaders are residing inside Iran today, including Osama bin Laden's son, who was raised in Iran and is now positioning himself as the next leader of Al-Qaeda.

The Crown Prince said Saudi Arabia has no ambiguity about these dangers and is actively coordinating with partners on how to address them to keep the Middle East, Europe, and the broader world safe from what he called these destructive ideologies.

The statement represents one of the clearest and most comprehensive public indictments of the Iranian regime from a sitting Arab head of government, delivered at a moment when Iran is simultaneously firing missiles at Saudi territory and running proxy networks from Beirut to Khartoum to Sanaa.

Yeah, great idea - not - add caffeine and sugar to that mix, or question whether it's accepting realistic deductions, considering the players, instead of questionable paranoia - anxiety should be a given because the world is ruled by out of touch with reality scary f**ckers.
