    Again, not a Tucker fan or follower but as soon as the school girl attack came out he stated that if the US was responsible nobody should support a govt that carries out such atrocities, let alone support a war. And that was well before any of this other stuff

    This grossly under reporting damage.


    13 bases have been declared non functional. The damage is well about double digits in the billions.
    Not even taking into account th 2 billion daily cost

    @durvasa it truly is kind of those “wtf” moments for me that whenever I hear about war there is never any insight into the civilians getting killed. It’s always just service members

    millions+ have died from the Afghanistan Iraq war and many countless more with their lives disrupted.

    Its absolutely disgusting, to treat the people in these regions as leggos

    Seriously, I would bet a lot of USA folks would like Iran to do to Trump what we did to their leader.

    They also lost an E-3 AWACS in the attack on Saudi Arabia which is a double problem, because they can't build any more, about half (15 of 31 planes) of the original fleet is not flyable any longer, and they rest have high down times for maintance. Kegsbreath also killed the E-7 "Wedgetail" that was supposed to replace it.

    AWACS are the flying radar and sensor platforms that act as "eyes in the sky" to control airspace.

    The stuff damaged in the attack on the Saudi base - the AWACS and the 5 tankers are all listed as "damaged" but they're all literally burned to husks and split in half. They are 100% not reparable even though they are going to try to pretend like they could be for as long as they can to avoid having to admit it.

    The loss of those planes was TOTALY PREDICTABLE based on how they were stored for anybody that's watched Ukraine punch up on Russia for the last several years. You can't line planes up in neat little outdoor grids out in the open for storage any longer.

    Israel is evil to a point that is almost indescribable

    like if you put their acts into the script for a movie, everyone else would say you need to take that stuff out because it’s way too much and over the top

    I don’t see how you can grab a random 4 y/o and break their arm at the elbow, break their leg, stomp on their stomach, and feel nothing…you’re no longer human atp

    and we sit here and aid and abet them…we sit here and bomb a little girls school

    You have to quit seeing certain other people as human to do things like that. Sadly, some Israelis have become precisely their own nightmares from past eras.

    I'm kinda gobsmacked at both MSM and markets not fully catching up. I mean, okay, I am a darkly inclined person, but the data we have available is pretty striking. And MSM largely just keeps repeating social media posts and official statements from completely unreliable figures in the US, Iran and Israel. And otherwise, seems to shrug, like "what are you going to do."

    Markets are like, "well, we still have billionaires and trillionaires, so... everything must be okay? Please?"

    I had a discussion on here once with a Trumper who said he didn't feel sorry for civilians slaughtered on the Gaza Strip. His justification was that they voted for Hamas, even though only 7% of the Gaza population has ever voted for Hamas. Not only that, since when did a vote for who leads your country make it OK to kill you as a civilian in war? That's not an exception under international law when it comes to crimes upon humanity. You see, it's that deep reaching up their butt for excuses that so many MAGA folks pull out to justify anything and everything Trump does, or Trump supports.

    You’re talking about @ROXRAN @basso @StupidMoniker


    200 elementary school girls were killed in the first day and I wonder if they feel the same way about the enemy exacting vengeance, since people voted for dotard.

    Nazi ideology will always lead to death & destruction

    as a species we need to stop subjugating one another and thirsting for war over endless greed

    “When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world.”

    LOL, of course Israeli troops will not take part…

    like I mentioned earlier, Israel dragged us into war and then said

    [​IMG]

    Israel is that “friend” who instigates a fight with you and a random stranger at the bar, and while you’re busy fighting for your life, they’re just sitting there sipping their drink telling you to keep your guard up and watch out for the knife

    I never liked the "every accusation an admission" line, but dayum if they don't keep fulfilling that phrase. "Weaponize the DOJ" check. "fight in stupid wars" double check. "Trafficking under-aged girls" triple check. "Break laws, violate our constitution" quadruple check. "supercharge inflation," "bankrupt our nation," and on and on.

    Jesus H. LOL.

    My support of Israel is based on them being by far the more moral party in the war. It has nothing to do with elections held 20 years ago. One side has specifically designated military bases where they have troops stationed and keep weapons and equipment. The other side hides among the civilian population. The side that hides among the civilian population could very easily target only military targets (that's the point of separating military targets from the civilian populace and infrastructure. They chose to target teens at a music festival, people at Kibbutzim, people waiting at bus stops, and civilians hiding in shelters to kill. They also chose to kidnap and rape women, kidnap children, and parade them around to the cheers of the population. The people of Gaza do nothing to oppose this. Where are the partizans feeding information to Israel about where prisoners are being kept, where rockets and mortars are being stored, where to find tunnel entrances, where and when attacks are being planned? No, my position isn't based on a single decades old election, it is based on the actions of the parties now and over the course of 80+ years.

    That comes at the end of a WSJ article filled with administration quotes about Trump thinking about ordering troops to seize Iranian uranium.

    The logistics are ridiculously complex and the troop exposure would be significant:

    But sure, no decision has been made. This patient, wise President is still weighing options.
