Europe’s own regulatory architecture turned off Europe’s own energy supply. And America. . . on the other side of the Atlantic with a full tank of gas, watched it happen.” —Jeff Childers
Trump really does have the geopolitics figured out, and most people simply don't understand it. The future lies with alliances with sane nations, such as Russia and China, not Europe, as it commits suicide with its insane immigration policies and its rapid descent in to Islamic hell.
There's a reason Trump wanted Greenland. In the near future, we will be looking at a European caliphate that poses a threat to us, and Greenland would be a bulwark against that threat.
Amen brother, and all the supposedly “smart” people either don’t see it, or refuse to believe it. President Trump is clearly changing the old order to the benefit of the United States of America and its people. It’s just a tremendous advantage to our country that the rest of the world thinks Trump is a moron and they keep stepping into his traps. It’s really an amazing thing to behold. He’s truly a genius dealing amongst children. Like taking candy from a baby. God Bless our President and the good Lord who sent him to us.
I don't understand the connection Jack. In your first sentence you make an absurd statement: "Trump really does have the geopolitics figured out". Trump doesn't have jack shit figured out.
James Howard Kunstler's (JHK) blog here, save for the token green podcasts perhaps, is largely intellectual filler, attracting the obese kind you might find at maybe Walmart, buying pop and chips as their predominant food items.
JackStrawWichita et al like their pop and chips. And JHK likes selling it to them.
Del and Carl don’t seem to understand, being so accustomed to puppets and tools as presidents, that Trump is not a politician, he’s a businessman. He knows markets and negotiations, and he’s just freed a country, Iran, to deal with their future. He will only put boots on the ground-briefly-to recover the uranium that Obama and Biden let them enrich. Then we will leave, and let the Iranians and other oil producers like SA and UAE, determine who gets their oil, and at what price. The Iranians will duly erect statues of Trump, the man who walked the walk instead of talking and funding the vicious theocrats that held them hostage for fifty years. He saved our butt from certain nuclear demise, and if you can’t see that, you’re a moron.
The Strait of Hormuz contains several islands, but the most strategically significant ones are Qeshm Island, Hormuz Island, and Larak Island, all controlled by Iran. Qeshm Island is the largest in the Persian Gulf and lies close to the strait’s entrance, hosting Iranian military and surveillance assets.
Kharg Island, while not in the strait itself, is a critical Iranian oil export hub located about 300 miles northwest in the Persian Gulf and central to regional tensions. Additionally, Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb are disputed islands at the strait’s mouth, occupied by Iran but claimed by the UAE.
It is MHO, after “Epic Fury” is over, the US must leave "Boots on the Ground" and take control of all the several islands in the Strait of Hormuz. Perhaps the US Navy Seals would leap at the opportunity?
Yeah, Trump's sending 2500 men to be slaughtered. As would 25,000. Maybe 250,000 could do it, but of course, we aren't the same people we once were. Nor is Iran shoreline Normandy beach or any kind of beach at all.
Kharg Island is a strategically vital Iranian oil export hub located in the Persian Gulf, approximately 300 miles (483 km) northwest of the Strait of Hormuz, and about 25 km off Iran’s coast near Bushehr. Though not within the Strait itself, its location is critical due to deep surrounding waters that allow large oil tankers to dock—unlike much of Iran’s shallow coastline.
The island handles up to 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports, serving as the primary terminal for seaborne shipments. It has the capacity to export up to 7 million barrels per day, with storage for 30 million barrels, and is connected to major onshore and offshore oil fields via underwater pipelines. This makes Kharg Island the backbone of Iran’s oil economy and a major source of government revenue.
Due to its importance, Kharg Island has been a focal point during military tensions, including U.S. strikes in March 2026 targeting military installations linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). While the strikes avoided oil infrastructure, the island remains highly vulnerable—any disruption could severely impact Iran’s economy and trigger global oil price spikes.
$38 trillion and counting my friend. The USA has spent its strength and means making war in foreign lands and what has it got us here at home? $38 trillion and counting. And nobody gives a damn.
It's 50% at a bare minimum. Obviously the political douche bags are enabling the graft in the first place so you better believe they're taking their cut and then we have the bankers. You know the people nobody wants to talk about in this equation. You better believe they're taking a big slice and hiding it… Remember, they get to delete things immediately or never record them or shove them offshore. They do love that offshore bullshit.
Go get a good book and maybe some popcorn and just sit back and observe. Trump’s not a magician. But he is an incredible strategist and he knows what he’s doing. I see that debt number too and I’m concerned about it as well. But I have the utmost faith that he will begin to lead us out of this fiscal wilderness.
"He’s truly a genius dealing amongst children. Like taking candy from a baby. God Bless our President and the good Lord who sent him to us." YES. YES. AND YES.
What "good" Lord would bless a President who was providing 2,000lb bombs to a war criminal knowing full well he was going to drop them on hospitals and refugee camps, Michelle?

Two shots at the man - both missed. The next will be 3rd time lucky. Do you imagine that this doesn't keep him awake betimes? Just murmur in his sleeping ear "we are coming to get you..." and he will awake - and obey orders.
...and when enough of these voices gather in a cackle in his head, then he will obey all their orders, no matter how contradictory they may seem. Trumpet is no hero. He has never fought for anything other than his own sweet self.
Yeah, Mark, there's a lot to be disappointed in.... but it's good sport watching the "self chosen" sharia shitheads melting right there in front of the Persians they've been ass fucking Baccha Bazzi style for half a century....

Regardless of Trump's efforts to maintain the global pecking order of the American Empire, he appears to ignore the idea that the Long Emergency is busily bringing down all the advanced nations of the world. The mischief that's been going on in the Middle East is most likely going to continue with its unpredicatbility.
What's far more likely in the long term, IMHO, is that current American foreign "policy" is not favorable to making or preserving dependable allies, and that in turn makes it less likely the U.S. is going to enjoy a slower descent in the standard of living than the rest of the world. An isolated vision of US foreign engagements including a higher standard of living is going to be very tricky to pull off.
The U.S. already has a poor enough Public Relations image on the world stage, and Trump's approach seems far outdated to me. We don't need to make it worse.
Robert, you are stuck in the old paradigm of the rules based order—rules for thee but not for me—that Trump is marching through and destroying, setting the operational tempo on his terms and keeping the globalists constantly back on their heels.
America’s image is so poor on the world stage that sixty countries have joined the Peace Board and twelve Latin American countries met with Trump in Florida—during this Iran military operation!—and agreed to wipe out the cartels and the extractive policies of the rules based order and in return receive American support to control their own extraction, manufacturing and processing industries to provide real jobs for their people.
The world is tired of the constant chaos caused by the globalists to keep everyone at each other’s throats. I don’t know if Trump will succeed, but I 100% support his efforts because if he does, my children and grand children have a bright future ahead.
Well, I think the track record of the successful United Nations projects sums up nicely what most diplomats are useful for - not much.
From what I can tell, Trump might very well be controlled opposition for the globalists. He acts more like a puppet than a leader. His failure to address obvious faults with the American economy while advancing all things digital (in terms of money) does not bode well for maintaining control over what little wealth we'll all be scratching for down the road. A non-self-made billionaire is not going to be a likely champion for the American people.
Just my opinion - it's certainly a challenge these days putting together a logical thesis on how things work, as truth/reality is close to impossible to figure. But I've yet to read that Putin has changed his opinion on Americans being "agreement incapable", and that does not bode well for what's coming. A future with friends that can relied upon is, well, desirable.
The world is in constant chaos all right - but it appears to be part of a plan to maximize profits, with the polarizing propaganda effectively restricting resistance. The voting process appears broken beyond repair, and just serves as another distraction, Like Project Epstein. The relics of NATO and the United Nations will be swept away as Decline continues - relentlessly. Those are baked into the cake, and will continue in spite of any political solutions offered.
Trump is more likely to go down in history as the Big Scapegoat - making Hoover look like an economic genius, the Genius Act not withstanding. IMHO.
Trump acting like a follower, not a leader? That alone qualifies you as being completely ignorant of what he has accomplished domestically and internationally the past 14 months. Get yourself up to speed before you engage with me.
Under Biden's leadership, the U.S. military tried to build a temporary dock on the shores of Gaza to receive incoming relief aid. They forgot to provide cover for the soldiers and engineers building the dock. After many delays and cost overruns, when completed half the dock collapsed and was useless.
Trump inaugurated in late January 2025, DEI is abolished in the military, officers not on board with the new fighting spirit are encouraged to retire or are demoted. The military that gave us the Afghanistan withdrawal and a botched engineering action in Gaza under Biden have done this under Trump:
June 2025 Operation Midnight Hammer destroys Iranian Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant and other nuclear sites
January 2026 Operation Absolute Resolve extracts Maduro from Venezuela
February/March 2026 Operation Epic Fury unleashes relentless attack on Iranian military targets, wiping out 60-90% of military capability of its army, navy and Air Force
Just one of dozens of examples of what happens when leadership changes at the top.
What kind of cruel God would bless a country that provides 2,000lb bombs to a mass-murderer knowing full well he is going to drop them on hospitals and refugee camps, Alan?
Everyone, including you and me, is 100% responsible for what they have done and what they have failed to do. Not God. Which is why I pray that God blesses America, that He showers us with graces and that we heed them.

What does 'countries' mean in your context of 'sixty countries'? IOW, who of said countries have decided to join?
There's often a whopping difference between pseudo-leaders and those they purport to 'lead' or somehow 'represent'. Like, for example, a majority of 'Americans'-- and likely many others-- are ostentibly against the war.
If correct-- and I have limited reason for doubt-- then Trump is leading many to where they do not want to go.

"Get yourself up to speed before you engage with me." ~ Alan (to P. Robert Thorson below)
I think he meant that Ykraine realized some years ago that NATO countries will talk a lit and send some arms, but won't actually do much when push comes to shove.
Why are they clamoring for acceptance into NATO pushed by all the players aligned with NATO including the USA? How is it NATO is useless to Ukraine when they are pouring tax payer money into continuing the dumb war on Russia who should be are greatest ally.
What allies have we ever really been able to depend on? We have sacrificed our best young men twice for Europe. And now we fund their NATO, and UN. Until Europe hits rock bottom, they will not break their addiction to American money.
Funding, exactly! It seems to me if we pulled out of NATO and the United Nations and let Doge clean up the fraud that is rampant in our system, our deficit would disappear.
When has NATO been anything but a real estate platform for U.S. military installations? As someone who favors non-intervention, I'd be happy for the U.S. to pull out of NATO and allow it to crumble. But why keep pretending there was ever any realistic expectation of an effective military role for any of these countries?
Truth in Spending should demand that NATO be renamed NABO, because all wars are Banker's War, a fact that even two-time Medal of Honor awardee Smedley Butler finally realized and detailed in his great book, "War is a Racket" available free at Gutenberg, and a must-read.
Not funny at all. The bankers along with the predator class pushed for the war, funded the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and funded the rise of Hitler. They only care about money not this country.
Our hubris, penchant for bullying the ROW and incompetent diplomats are a main reason no one comes to the aid of the USA. even our so called greatest ally, Israel would stab the USA i the back if it benefited them to do so.
The US gets nothing in return for the economic and military support that it provides to the ethno-supremacist apartheid nation of Israel. In fact, the U.S. suffers internationally on account of its close relationship with Israel because of its constant vetoing of UN Resolutions intended to punish Israel for its human rights violations.
There is no alliance, and Israel is not our ally. Its government does not behave as an ally does, it has never fought alongside US forces in any of our foreign wars. Its interests are not aligned with ours as an ally’s should be. There is no formal treaty and no binding obligations that require our governments to do anything for the other.
Pundits always grossly exaggerates the extent of the ties between our governments. Israel is routinely called our “most important ally” in the region, or even our “most cherished ally” in all the world. These are ideological assertions that are not grounded in reality. Dozens of other states all over the world are better allies to the United States than the “most cherished ally” is. And they don’t preside over an illegal occupation and decades of abuses and crimes against the Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation. Now being ethnically cleansed in a genocide with US supplied bombs dropped on refugee camps and hospitals.
The effect of this constant repetition is to make the US/Israel relationship to be extremely important to U.S. interests when it is not. It promotes an illusion of a common interest where no real common interest exists ~ and has now suckered the US into being complicit in a genocide.
The US taxpayers are having billions of their taxes stolen and given to apartheid ethnosupremacist Israel. Americans do not have Universal healthcare. But pay for Israel to have Universal healthcare. And the US is $39-trillion in Debt. The US and Israel have made themselves pariahs in the eyes of the World. This is not going to end well for the US or Israel. The US will survive. The same cannot be said for Israel.
Old adages may still be true, but from what I can tell the idea of national boundaries and international diplomacy may be moot. If the Puppet Masters are calling the shots, then they control the script and all sides of the theater. The world stage looks like that to me.
Greenland would be a perfect prison island much like Australia was, an island, small indigenous population and inhospitable weather. Deport all the Ne'er-do-wells there, we have plenty and let the inmates mine the glaciers for pure drinking water or dig below them for all the untapped rare earth minerals imaginable. Sounds like a Trump 5-D bigly win to me... And who knows in a century or two they could have their own leg of the Tennis Grand Slam; The Greenland Open, I like the sound of that...
Hey, take no offence please, I'm left-handed too! An affliction since youth. As is my son, his mother and my sister! So you're on board, we can count you in?
It won't be terrifying until the war in the Middle East is brought to the doorstep of the USA. If Biden really let in 10,000 terrorists whom we do not know where they are or what they are doing, we could see more blowback, like the guy in TX wearing the "property of Allah" shirt.
Always, always, always carry your legal sidearm. Train, train, train with it. Civilians stop more mass shootings than police, and do it with fewer shots. If they want to bring the war to our gates, be waiting at the gates for them.
And George, do not forget to obtain lots of ammo for every caliber you have. Ammo will be very valuable if the millions of illegals began their rampaging before ICE can get them the hell out due to Demm obstructionism. The criminal illegals are their back up storm troopers don't you know!
Most definitely. For simplicity we try not to buy rifles or handguns outside of a couple calibres, 9mm handguns, .556, and .308 rifles. Always go with ammo that is popular and available anywhere. An empty gun is an expensive club.
Interestingly enough George, I have a 1908 Colt changed at the factory from a 44-40 to a 38 special. It is the heaviest pistol I have ever handled, even more so than a Casull 454, which is a monster. Always joked that it was a deadly weapon even if empty, just throw it at the perp.
FBI. Concealed carry holders train far more often than law enforcement, are more likely to be at the mass shooting when it occurs and have never yet hit an innocent bystander. They generally neutralize a mass shooter BEFORE it escalates to a mass shooting, making the determination that it would have been a mass shooting more difficult. Concealed carry holders are less likely to ever be convicted of a crime than law enforcement officers, even though they outnumber law enforcement dramatically. Concealed carry holders also stop threats with more on target hits yet less shots fired than law enforcement. On average, in the United States you are never more than 20 feet from a firearm. In the circles I prefer to orbit, the rate is likely to be within 20 feet of many firearms.
750,000 law enforcement officers kill on average 1200 civilians annually, while 325 million civilians kill only 40-60 police officers annually. Statistically, 30-40 thousand people are killed by guns annually, but thirty thousand are self inflicted.
Civilians are the safest users of firearms compared to law enforcement.
Bingo. Our military should be HERE finding those 10,000 terrorists embedded in our cities and towns, apprehend them and send them packing back to their home lands. Instead our military is spread throughout the world at hundreds of military bases doing what? Instead our military is lobbing bombs and missiles at water starved Iran.
I have no fear that the Middle East will ever be bringing war to the doorstep of the USA. They have not the wealth or the infrastructure to create a navy necessary to transport weapons or troops half way across the globe to put war on the USA's door step. You are correct. Their troops are already here.
And don't get me started on the Mexicans and their designs for the USA. Google "Azetlan" and you'll see.
Research ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, the umbrella over most mosques/masjids/"Islamic centers" in this country. ISNA is connected with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a terror-sponsoring organization.
Also research the jihadist paramilitary training camps just outside dozens of U.S. cities.
The terrorist cells are here. I'm amazed that they haven't been activated yet. But how long before they are??
The Elite don't want them to win. And they don't want Western Civilization to win. Whose side are they on? Their own. They want to cancel both out by getting us to fight each other.
I believe the Constitution prohibits the regular military from operating within our borders. In any case that should be the policy.
Unfortunately other agencies, including police forces (with their SWAT teams), are coming to resemble the army. I read that even the IRS has a gun-toting unit.
Per Wikipedia: "The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law signed into law on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic law by the federal government or by other government entities such as county sheriffs and justices of the peace."
So, not in the Constitution but a longstanding federal law. Ignored by Ike who "invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 to enable troops to perform domestic law enforcement [of school integration]. The president ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock ... and federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard ... ." (Wiki)
And isn't it amazing how the doomsayers avross the web are more and more silent every day as this thing works to its inevitable conclusion - an actual US victory. ? And yet their followers will keep on until the kool aid is actually served.
"The future lies with alliances with sane nations, such as Russia and China, not Europe,"
If Trump has the geopolitics figured out why are we giving money to the Ukraine to continue the war on Russia and why are we trying to squeeze China out of getting the energy they need to continue as a sane partner and why are we still calling Israel our greatest ally?
I will post James stack this one is a good enough read, well done James. I am against the US bombing though...we made a mistake, Trump did. but I still support him...go USA!
The Americans are the one's committing suicide with its insane immigration policies and its ignorant Islamophobia. Islamophobia is the fear, hatred, and discrimination against the religion and practitioners of Islam. Not even a rapid descent; Yanks have always been jingoistic xenophobic assholes!
The word “Islamophobia” is an inaccurate label for a sick ignorant prejudice which targets skin colour, ethnicity and culture.
Disgustingly, the concept is now used to preach negative public opinion towards Muslims and Islam. With biased media reporting, verbal and physical assaults and online attacks.

Probably the most important development is the breaking up of London's "insurance" racket. It's odd how the banksters in the City of London believe they can continue with business as usual as their city becomes a caliphate. Trump obviously sees the reality and stuck a stake in the beast's heart.
The City of London will be satisfied if a central bank crypto can be imposed, eliminating cash and putting everyone in an Orwellian Panopticon- and Trump, for all his supposed populism, hanging Jackson's portrait, etc., allowed his palm to be liberally greased by the crypto lobby so that the same fate awaits the American people, who have a lot more to fear from this eventuality than any "caliphate." When it it going to down on people that endless war and endless expansion of the national debt is the order of the day? $10/gallon gas? $50/lb hamburger?
And Ukraine after 4 years? The only people who think the NYT, WaPo, and the other miniature versions of them are legitimate news sources turned off their minds some time ago. Personally, not a fan of this move against Iran that is largely, if not entirely, because of Israel's strong influence, but it's been what? less than a month? Hopefully, it doesn't drag on and things get relatively settled much sooner than later and then the focus can return toward pushing the dem party over the ledge they're standing upon.
It's all fun and games until the Warthogs show up. Also the Apaches. The Pars gas field has been attacked and the talking heads quote 4-5 years to get it running again. That's what they said about the Kuwait oil field destruction and subsequent well fires after the 1st Gulf War. Then Red Adair and Boots and Coots showed up and had the situation under control in months with the help of the Hungarians and their jet turbine well extinguisher thingamagig which blew the monstrous well fires out like so many birthday candles. Today the oil isn't flowing but all that oil and gas is still sitting there for future use.Notre Dame Cathedral, century's to build and destroyed in hours in 2019, was rebuilt in 5 years by thousands of craftsman using old building techniques. I never thought it would happen. Don't believe everything the "experts" tell you on the internets. Everybody has an opinion when they have zero knowledge of what is actually happening on the ground. It's not called the "fog of war" for nothing.

What data? I submit McGregor may be privy to accurate data and Hegseth and Caine are simply lying. Why do so many former high ranking military men with access to plenty of data agreeing with McGregor and criticizing Hegseth and Caine?
Three days after the Ukraine War began in Feb. 2022 MacGregor said," "The battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over," and predicted "If [Ukraine] don't surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them." Macgregor said he believed Russia should be allowed to seize whatever parts of Ukraine it wanted. In a second appearance, he revised his prediction: "The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle. They've now corrected that. So, I would say another 10 days this should be completely over.
10 days huh? that was 4 years ago. Another "expert" absolutely wrong.
McGregor has a great voice, is very articulate and persuasive and just makes stuff up. The man is delusional. If he has any family or friends who love him, they would let him record his fantasies, give him a bowl of ice cream and then burn the tapes.
McGregor is a fool. A stopped clock is right more often.
I often fail, and sin, but I don’t make accusations about others, especially publicly, unless I am certain I have the facts straight. If I get the facts wrong, I correct it and apologize.
Do you support Greater Israel? Are you a Jewish fundamentalist? If not, there's no reason to support their war or their influence in the United States. And not just the Fundies either. As has oft been said, They believe in the Promise that was given to them, they just don't believe in the Promise Giver any more.
Trump has already advised that this is not ‘Israel’s war’. It’s basically a war to make sure that radical fundamentalists don’t have the wherewithal to build a nuclear bomb. What’s so difficult about understanding that?
LOL…’international law’…a phrase that actually means nothing, and the ‘international court’ is not accepted by a majority of nations. International law is globalist mumbo jumbo.
"We see Hegseth and four-star general Caine openly talking about mission status and how utterly the military in Iran is collapsing."
It could well be a three-star military collapse. Forces belonging to Iran, Israel, and the US are all vulnerable to being gutted. A four-star collapse if you count Ukraine.
Who knows, it might be a good thing if all these countries' armies, navies, missiles, missile defense systems, what-have-you end as billion-dollar wreckage. That could enforce peace if there's nothing left to fight a war with.
Ah, but there's the wild card: nukes, both tactical and city-obliterating. God bless the child who's got his own. That means above all Israel and the US. The grim prospect is that either might succumb to the temptation to use nukes if they are decisively losing.
The Samson option or Uncle Sam's son option lurks in the background. The first player to go that way will win nothing but scorched earth and burned-out petro facilities with no one to repair them. Plus, playing the nuclear card will earn the wrath of Russia, China (both having their own stocks of sunshine-in-a-can) and the rest of the world.
I have an idea for a way every combatant can back off while saving face. The governments of Israel, US, and Iran should issue a joint announcement that extraterrestrials have shown up in the halls of government and demand childish humanity knock off the fighting immediately. If we don't, they say, they will climb back in their interstellar vehicles and blast the whole planet into a melted marshmallow.
All mankind will breathe a sigh of relief and insist governments put down their swords. Peace, it's wonderful.
Dealing nukes to any country that doesn't have them already adds another worry to a volatile situation. But in the case of Iran it might make sense by leveling the playing field. Mutual assured destruction (MAD) kept the US and the Soviet Union from sending each other to kingdom come for nearly half a century. Maybe it would have the same effect in the middle east.
BRAVO! This post made my day. I am so sick and tired of even the people that are supposed to be on "our" side pounding away at Pres. Trump and his allies. The man is absolutely brilliant- a genius. Nobody else could have figured out how to cut the Gordian Knot.
As you had reported, Both Comey and Letitia James slithered away when an activist judge dismissed the first investigation. The article goes on to say that this time the investigation is reportedly being led by a Florida federal prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones, a Trump appointee.
“Epic Fury” in Iran will neutralize a regime dedicated to terrorizing the region” is true, though not as intended. What you think you know is entirely dependent upon what sources of news reporting you believe to be legitimate - but we shall see, won’t we?
“Meanwhile, the US will continue pounding Iran until it can’t launch so much as a distress flare. They will have no nukes, no navy or air force, no more missiles and drones and payloads, and no ability to manufacture anymore of them” presupposes that we live in a world today in which having a navy and an air force still wins wars. That world is long gone, as we have seen in our succession of military failures.
Our mighty aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford, was sent packing by Iranian drones and missiles (a “laundry room fire,” tee hee) Our ultra complex F15s and F35s have already been shown to be vulnerable to the same Iranian weapons. Our continued investment in naval and air force capabilities is great for investors, but not so much for defeating a significant adversary. As for Iran running out of their stockpile? Again, we shall see.
“US can eventually leave policing of the Persian Gulf to the nations that depend on its oil (we do not)” is a doozy. All nations need the stuff, and will pay what they must for it. Oil and gas are priced on the margins, and a shortage anywhere eventually raises prices everywhere. Doubt it? Track the cost of energy for your household for the next year, and see how that prediction turns out.
On the plus side, you old Cold Warriors must recoil at “we are ideologically more aligned with post-Soviet Russia than we are with France, Germany, and UK under their current regimes,” but it’s quite true. Recall that one of Mr. Trump’s assertions when running for office in 2008 was that we ought to normalize relations with Russia. Of course, “Joe Biden’s” sabotage of Nord Stream 2 put the kibosh on that, and our continued reluctance to recognize our military failure in Ukraine is hardly hastening the day when that can happen.
It’s more likely that the president’s catastrophic blunder of finally buying into Netanyahu’s War will cause the good ol’ US of A to suffer long-term economic collapse, while Russia continues to build a prosperous future with its allies – including Iran.
I bet less than half of the hearters here could define the word bumptious. But they like their tired old fantasy, which you are still enabling - for the time being.
There you go, as one who enjoys the misfortunes of our aircraft carrier and mocking the success of Epic Fury. Some of us will never understand your disposition towards American success being so full of defeatism.
I am aware of that. Puerile name-calling does not keep me awake at night. For want of reasoning, argumentation, or evidence those with a low IQ resort to name-calling. It's actually a sort of compliment and a concession.
Maybe it was the Blacks pouring gasoline into the stopped up toilets.
In any case, they're throwaway drones loaded up with explosives are built for 20,000 dollars. The missiles sent against them cost hundreds of thousand.
Howard the Ford was not hit by Iranian anything. It would be impossible to hide the kind of damage on the outside of the ship thirty hours of fire fighting required. An external fire is actually easier to fight. I had originally thought it was a trash fire from an exploding vape in a trash compactor.
Perhaps, in which case it was an excuse to get beyond missile range. The fact remains that we do not have the ability to prevent a missile attack on our carriers, and such an attack would easily sink them. They are strategically useless in today's world.
Your saying so doesn't make it so. They are impossible for us to defend and easily sunk. You will see that they make no useful contribution to Netanyahu's War.
Nope there is zero gasoline on a carrier. Your fascination with calling blacks saboteurs runs contrary to my actual real world Navy experience. Give it a break already.
So Jim, was America born stupid or was it a skill they developed as they grew.
Does America need Middle East oil? Does America need the Middle East at all. Why the fuk is Israel of any importance?
If China needs oil, let them go fight for it. After all, there is an ample supply of them so let them go fetch what’s needed for their livelihood. Not an American issue.
Maybe this 2026 we can enjoy the greatest Christmas ever. One without Israel.
People consistently refuse to see that this is not about Israel. For the protection of Americans, these Iranian terrorists needed to be blasted into oblivion since they have threatened us for 47 years as the “Big Satan”. They wished to destroy us with a nuclear weapon (which they were about to achieve). It took #47 to undo those 47 years of threats and treachery. We need to see it fully accomplished. We are blessed to have the “Little Satan” helping us enormously in this undertaking. Thats it. Let ‘Epic Fury’ be the icing on the cake that celebrates world peace.
On October 23, 1983, a devastating terrorist attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, resulted in the deaths of 241 American service members.
It was likely perpetrated by Hezbollah ("the party of God"), Iran's proxy/ally in Lebanon.
Did anyone bother to ask why there were US Marine barracks in Beirut in the first place? Foreign entanglements such as these have not served the USA's best interests.
The famous quote comes to mind "no foreign entanglements" unfortunately we have all been duped. As I see it we are saturated with foreign entanglements similiar to a beggar thy neighbour. But the best quote I had ever read was, " stealing from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries".
Indeed. We know that the squatters occupying Palestine will use them when they are inevitably defeated. I presume you may have heard of the so-called "Samson Option"? Kind of like the "Hannibal Option" that the IDF used when Palestinians attacked in October. Only your cousins will slaughter all of us and not just the real Semitic people of Palestine when your zionazi regime is "taken out".
In 2024 and Iranian with the curious name of Merchant was arrested for plotting to kill Americans, one of whom was DJT. So maybe it's mostly about Trump. Recall after Solemeni got burnt there was a call for revenge?

Reductionist thinking focuses on the notion this is about containing Iran. Step back and widen the focus and there’s a much different picture; one in which the Great Satan, the US, “fights” to retain World dominance. They have two ways to a “win.” One is to gain control of the oil flows from the Persian Gulf. This one’s not likely, costly and uncertain. The “easy” win is to get Iran to blow up everything and effectively shut down the middle east oil/gas industry and take out all of the US competitors with it.
The US can weather this as they can affect reliable supply close to home with increases in frac oil and supplies from Canada and Venezuela. I understand it is self-sufficient in fertilizer. Export controls and sanctions as part of some “emergency” order can help keep prices in check.
Meanwhile, Europe crashes, as do China and India and most of the global south/BRICS folks, this is the real game afoot. As the Gulf monarchies lose their revenues, their subsidized lifestyles go away and their populations get upset. Those in control, and with the bulk of the wealth, will flee, and where will they go? The only 2-places still standing will be the US and Russia. So, the US can gain a lot of investment out of the deal to help with onshoring manufacturing. And China is welcome to Taiwan if they want.
This is where Venezuela fits in, as it removes more oil from China, and, on the margin, combined with small increases out of Canada and ramping up frac oil in places like the Permian, solves the local oil supply problems. This isn’t 4-D chess, just simple application of leverage. Burn down the rest of the world and focus on this hemisphere. Leave everybody else a mess that will take decades to sort out and set about business in the US as usual.
That would explain why Trump isn’t interested in negotiating. I think he wants Iran to blow everything up. Doesn't it make the US stronger at a time when debt, currency debasement, and other bubbles are ready to pop anyway? Better to be in a stronger position than everybody else and have some control over your own fate.
It is funny that everybody in this comment thread will be quick to call Trump a liar. Then take him at his word that this is about Iran. That’s just nuts.
As to Israel here, they are actually in the role of useful idiots as there is no possible win in this for them no matter how it goes. And if they nuke somebody, that just helps the big plan along. And gives Trump the excuse that it was those pesky Israelis that did it.
"It’s so funny how Trump apologists have started claiming the United States has been at war with Iran for 47 years, because I had literally never once heard anyone utter that claim until this war began. It’s just a talking point they all began regurgitating at once in order to justify Trump’s warmongering. Pretty sure if there was an ongoing decades-long American war I would have heard about it before March 2026."

Whatever…I have set you off, Lugh, but I can already predict your responses, so I’ll allow all opinions, free speech, and disregard the attempts for arguments.
Israel is the only Christian state in the ME. Even the deceased Helen Keller can see that the current Islamic takeover of the West is a serious threat to the world. Must I elaborate further?
It's not about oil, TX. It's about money. War is always about money. We can't justify a trillion dollar defense budget if there isn't some hapless shit hole country to lob missiles and drones at. 7%! 7% of America's petroleum comes from the middle east. No, this isn't about oil, this is about keeping the fat cats at Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrup-Grummond, Boeing and others in the black and getting big fat bonuses to all those humble CEOs and keep their rats in Congress well paid with bennies and perks.
As the national debt looms, and the American dream erodes, America, at least the way we knew it, is drawing to a close. Government is suffocating the middle class and accelerating the process. This isn't difficult to see
The Government Grift from our Local Governments, through the States and Federal Governments Corruption plus Their Own Featherbedding Enrichment has stolen their way steering us towards a certain oblivion.
Our Government is broken and our Representative Government thinks our money is theirs!
They know we know they are stealing our tax dollars left and right and they know we are coming for them and they are now desperate to keep their Government Grift Going.
They have tried everything including a Planned Pandemic, Stolen Elections, Assignation Attempts, Paid for Government Media, imported 20-30 Million Controllable Voters…
This isn’t difficult to see, it’s in our face at every turn and their hands in our pockets digging deeper and deeper.
In a sentence - A return to the American economic system and an end to the globalist imperialist system. Key components of the American system are sovereign credit, industrial development, and a productive economy serving the general welfare. This system, invented by Hamilton, is based on the fundamental belief that humans are creative, can know the truth, and can govern themselves. Concepts embedding in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
On the flip side of this is what we have today, an imperialist system of fraud, chaos, engineered backwardness, and total control designed by Jeremy Bentham, a truly vile British operative who engineered the Jacobin takeover of the French Revolution. At the time, the French were looking at our economic model and were beginning to adopt it, but the City of London banksters knew this would be a disaster for them so they subverted it.
Bentham believed that human creativity was impossible, that knowable truth is impossible, and the humans were nothing but prisoners of our senses, animals responding to pain and pleasure.
Over the years, this imperialist system has used things like forever wars, Mockingbird Media, the Federal Reserve and Income tax to cause chaos and maintain control. Trump told the Davos crowd that globalism is finished. He also blasts the Federal Reserve on a regular basis and is making noises about doing away with the income tax. He has also created so much distrust in the mockingbird MSM with his relentless "fake news" attacks that very few trust them anymore. All this stuff is related. This is extremely short-hand there is a lot more to it, just wanted to give a brief response.
Only Congress can do away with the income tax as it would require a Constitutional amendment. We all know how inept the US Congress is. Though, I suppose he could eliminate the IRS, being a part of the executive branch. Will it happen? Not a chance in hell.
Remember too that Trump will replace the income tax with tariffs to “punish” imports so manufacturing comes home. Someone or something has to pay the bills in this silly dependent country. Congress? Hahahahaha!
You will own nothing and be happy. Rule by the Bank and its shareholders. Look at the dollar bill. See the Capstone? We will be ruled by those therein.
Object and you will own nothing be unhappy, if indeed you are able to still around to feel anything at all.
If we’re ever gonna do it, now is probably the time. Pull the plug. Wipe the books clean. Erase the international debt: ours, theirs, every single nation. Nobody owes us and we no longer owe any of them.
I’ve suggested this solution to my friends before (and they’re smart people) and no one can explain exactly why it wouldn’t work. There are a lot of smart people in this forum. Help me understand.
Which will require scaling back the safety net and dealing with the resultant riots and lower level resistance. Will be ugly and against our empathetic instincts.
I’ve always thought that Trump had more in common as do most Americans, with Putin, than with Keir Starmer. He has not let the hordes in because he values his country’s culture and wants to preserve it as Europe does not. Aligning with him, Poland, and Czechoslovakia is the way of the future to hold off the Caliphate. Trump has a long view, like China, but he now has China where he wants them. As for the newspapers that hang on, despite the fact that 51% of the country doesn’t want to read them I truly do think that they are supported by the deep state, but as blogs and alternate media have shown us and have flourished, they have become inconsequential in the scheme of things and it’s almost laughable to watch a so-called press conference. Trump amuses continuously by bringing up Pearl Harbor in the presence of the Japanese Prime Minister.
For the Pearl Harbor analogy to work, Iran would rebound from the surprise of Operation AIPAC Fury and defeat its attackers. Even then, it's not a great analogy, because Iran is proving to have been better prepared for a sneak attack than was the U.S. in December 1941.
Remember that Trump respects strength above all. You are right, his comment actually showed that he thought the Japanese sneak attack was a superior move against the ambivalence of America at the time. So comparing his move against Iran to Pearl Harbor was a compliment to the Japanese.
It is a result of two missiles fired at Diego Garcia that both missed by miles. One of Iran’s problems with their missiles is that they cannot hit the broad side of a barn from the inside with them. So instead of hitting specific targets, they hit whole cities, or at least try to.
A question, how come we get such a big backlash about hitting the girl’s school in Iran and nothing about the schools and many other civilian targets in Israel and the Gulf States?
Like the (ex) Gulf family dictatorships "depend" on the angloZionaZi collection of scum for "defense" as they now go up in flames and occupied Palestine gets the full Gaza treatment. LOL Ain't karma peachy!!
USSAN "defense" is like inviting the plague into the house and let's not even quote the Kissinger demon on being friends with that plague.
Trump really does have the geopolitics figured out, and most people simply don't understand it. The future lies with alliances with sane nations, such as Russia and China, not Europe, as it commits suicide with its insane immigration policies and its rapid descent in to Islamic hell.
There's a reason Trump wanted Greenland. In the near future, we will be looking at a European caliphate that poses a threat to us, and Greenland would be a bulwark against that threat.
These are incredibly interesting times.
Amen brother, and all the supposedly “smart” people either don’t see it, or refuse to believe it. President Trump is clearly changing the old order to the benefit of the United States of America and its people. It’s just a tremendous advantage to our country that the rest of the world thinks Trump is a moron and they keep stepping into his traps. It’s really an amazing thing to behold. He’s truly a genius dealing amongst children. Like taking candy from a baby. God Bless our President and the good Lord who sent him to us.
RIGHT THE HELL ON!
WRONG THE HELL ON. War is a racket. I'm sure you have heard that quote.
You're exactly the person I was referring to in my original post. Well done, sir.
I don't understand the connection Jack. In your first sentence you make an absurd statement: "Trump really does have the geopolitics figured out". Trump doesn't have jack shit figured out.

What an interesting situation in that so many people continue to underestimate Trump, and he keeps beating them at their own games.

Tennis is a Raquet too... and it requires Ballz‼️
Del and Carl don’t seem to understand, being so accustomed to puppets and tools as presidents, that Trump is not a politician, he’s a businessman. He knows markets and negotiations, and he’s just freed a country, Iran, to deal with their future. He will only put boots on the ground-briefly-to recover the uranium that Obama and Biden let them enrich. Then we will leave, and let the Iranians and other oil producers like SA and UAE, determine who gets their oil, and at what price. The Iranians will duly erect statues of Trump, the man who walked the walk instead of talking and funding the vicious theocrats that held them hostage for fifty years. He saved our butt from certain nuclear demise, and if you can’t see that, you’re a moron.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND AFTER "EPIC FURY" IS WON?
The Strait of Hormuz contains several islands, but the most strategically significant ones are Qeshm Island, Hormuz Island, and Larak Island, all controlled by Iran. Qeshm Island is the largest in the Persian Gulf and lies close to the strait’s entrance, hosting Iranian military and surveillance assets.
Kharg Island, while not in the strait itself, is a critical Iranian oil export hub located about 300 miles northwest in the Persian Gulf and central to regional tensions. Additionally, Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb are disputed islands at the strait’s mouth, occupied by Iran but claimed by the UAE.
It is MHO, after “Epic Fury” is over, the US must leave "Boots on the Ground" and take control of all the several islands in the Strait of Hormuz. Perhaps the US Navy Seals would leap at the opportunity?
Yeah, Trump's sending 2500 men to be slaughtered. As would 25,000. Maybe 250,000 could do it, but of course, we aren't the same people we once were. Nor is Iran shoreline Normandy beach or any kind of beach at all.
Then go total Lahaina on they ass Lugh....
When operation "Epstein Futility" is over, US economy will be broken and it will be revealed as the Zionist puppet, bankrupt empire that it is.
Another absurd comment.
Del you Movin' somewhere ⁉️
Persian Gulf's Kharg Island Oil Hub
Kharg Island is a strategically vital Iranian oil export hub located in the Persian Gulf, approximately 300 miles (483 km) northwest of the Strait of Hormuz, and about 25 km off Iran’s coast near Bushehr. Though not within the Strait itself, its location is critical due to deep surrounding waters that allow large oil tankers to dock—unlike much of Iran’s shallow coastline.
The island handles up to 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports, serving as the primary terminal for seaborne shipments. It has the capacity to export up to 7 million barrels per day, with storage for 30 million barrels, and is connected to major onshore and offshore oil fields via underwater pipelines. This makes Kharg Island the backbone of Iran’s oil economy and a major source of government revenue.
Due to its importance, Kharg Island has been a focal point during military tensions, including U.S. strikes in March 2026 targeting military installations linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). While the strikes avoided oil infrastructure, the island remains highly vulnerable—any disruption could severely impact Iran’s economy and trigger global oil price spikes.
After Epic Fury, let the Middle East deal with it.

$38 trillion and counting my friend. The USA has spent its strength and means making war in foreign lands and what has it got us here at home? $38 trillion and counting. And nobody gives a damn.
Wrong just went over 39 trillion!
And how much of that is money that was fraudulently taken by various politicians and interest groups? A third? A half?
"A third, a half?".
Well, maybe a third would at least be an improvement vis-a-vis the flows of money to (i mean via) Ukraine during the Biden administration.
You gotta start somewhere.
It's 50% at a bare minimum. Obviously the political douche bags are enabling the graft in the first place so you better believe they're taking their cut and then we have the bankers. You know the people nobody wants to talk about in this equation. You better believe they're taking a big slice and hiding it… Remember, they get to delete things immediately or never record them or shove them offshore. They do love that offshore bullshit.

Go get a good book and maybe some popcorn and just sit back and observe. Trump’s not a magician. But he is an incredible strategist and he knows what he’s doing. I see that debt number too and I’m concerned about it as well. But I have the utmost faith that he will begin to lead us out of this fiscal wilderness.
Seriously, go grab that book.

Amen brother🙏🏻
Regardless of Trump's efforts to maintain the global pecking order of the American Empire, he appears to ignore the idea that the Long Emergency is busily bringing down all the advanced nations of the world. The mischief that's been going on in the Middle East is most likely going to continue with its unpredicatbility.
What's far more likely in the long term, IMHO, is that current American foreign "policy" is not favorable to making or preserving dependable allies, and that in turn makes it less likely the U.S. is going to enjoy a slower descent in the standard of living than the rest of the world. An isolated vision of US foreign engagements including a higher standard of living is going to be very tricky to pull off.
The U.S. already has a poor enough Public Relations image on the world stage, and Trump's approach seems far outdated to me. We don't need to make it worse.
Robert, you are stuck in the old paradigm of the rules based order—rules for thee but not for me—that Trump is marching through and destroying, setting the operational tempo on his terms and keeping the globalists constantly back on their heels.
America’s image is so poor on the world stage that sixty countries have joined the Peace Board and twelve Latin American countries met with Trump in Florida—during this Iran military operation!—and agreed to wipe out the cartels and the extractive policies of the rules based order and in return receive American support to control their own extraction, manufacturing and processing industries to provide real jobs for their people.
The world is tired of the constant chaos caused by the globalists to keep everyone at each other’s throats. I don’t know if Trump will succeed, but I 100% support his efforts because if he does, my children and grand children have a bright future ahead.
God bless America!
Well, I think the track record of the successful United Nations projects sums up nicely what most diplomats are useful for - not much.
From what I can tell, Trump might very well be controlled opposition for the globalists. He acts more like a puppet than a leader. His failure to address obvious faults with the American economy while advancing all things digital (in terms of money) does not bode well for maintaining control over what little wealth we'll all be scratching for down the road. A non-self-made billionaire is not going to be a likely champion for the American people.
Just my opinion - it's certainly a challenge these days putting together a logical thesis on how things work, as truth/reality is close to impossible to figure. But I've yet to read that Putin has changed his opinion on Americans being "agreement incapable", and that does not bode well for what's coming. A future with friends that can relied upon is, well, desirable.
The world is in constant chaos all right - but it appears to be part of a plan to maximize profits, with the polarizing propaganda effectively restricting resistance. The voting process appears broken beyond repair, and just serves as another distraction, Like Project Epstein. The relics of NATO and the United Nations will be swept away as Decline continues - relentlessly. Those are baked into the cake, and will continue in spite of any political solutions offered.
Trump is more likely to go down in history as the Big Scapegoat - making Hoover look like an economic genius, the Genius Act not withstanding. IMHO.
Trump acting like a follower, not a leader? That alone qualifies you as being completely ignorant of what he has accomplished domestically and internationally the past 14 months. Get yourself up to speed before you engage with me.
Real leaders are those who people want to actually and voluntarily follow. Trump doesn't qualify.

Just Robert? Looks like you have your own paradigm you're stuck in.
Under Biden's leadership, the U.S. military tried to build a temporary dock on the shores of Gaza to receive incoming relief aid. They forgot to provide cover for the soldiers and engineers building the dock. After many delays and cost overruns, when completed half the dock collapsed and was useless.
Trump inaugurated in late January 2025, DEI is abolished in the military, officers not on board with the new fighting spirit are encouraged to retire or are demoted. The military that gave us the Afghanistan withdrawal and a botched engineering action in Gaza under Biden have done this under Trump:
June 2025 Operation Midnight Hammer destroys Iranian Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant and other nuclear sites
January 2026 Operation Absolute Resolve extracts Maduro from Venezuela
February/March 2026 Operation Epic Fury unleashes relentless attack on Iranian military targets, wiping out 60-90% of military capability of its army, navy and Air Force
Just one of dozens of examples of what happens when leadership changes at the top.

Everyone, including you and me, is 100% responsible for what they have done and what they have failed to do. Not God. Which is why I pray that God blesses America, that He showers us with graces and that we heed them.

What does 'countries' mean in your context of 'sixty countries'? IOW, who of said countries have decided to join?
There's often a whopping difference between pseudo-leaders and those they purport to 'lead' or somehow 'represent'. Like, for example, a majority of 'Americans'-- and likely many others-- are ostentibly against the war.
If correct-- and I have limited reason for doubt-- then Trump is leading many to where they do not want to go.

Yeah, that was cringe.
Peace Board??
Really!
Wakey wakey.
Yep! Don’t choke on those black pills.
You mean blue pill, yes?
What is not favorable to current US policy is we are no longer BOHICA!
That alone is driving tremendous amounts of bat shit crazy Socialist governments North, South, East and West to new heights of Irrational behavior.
Hey Nato, countries come on over and defend your own oil passages from a diabolical Iranian theocracy in its death throws.
A regime busy launching drones and missiles at everything in reach.
Nato allies.... nope.
Trump "well what good is Nato?"
Nato Allies "Just kidding."
🤣 sorry, too late ⏰!!! Trump forced NATO’s hand, and they outed themselves. How absolutely ignorant and pathetic are those losers?!?!
They're in transition to becoming Eurarabia. All their weapons will fall into Muslim hands.
Farage said, We're being kind to the Muslims so that when they're the majority, they'll be kind to us.
Why do they have to become the majority? Silence...
Read Albert Pike's letter again.
The Ukrainians knew this some time ago.
Ukraine is not a Nato country so of course Nato is useless to them.
I think he meant that Ykraine realized some years ago that NATO countries will talk a lit and send some arms, but won't actually do much when push comes to shove.
Why are they clamoring for acceptance into NATO pushed by all the players aligned with NATO including the USA? How is it NATO is useless to Ukraine when they are pouring tax payer money into continuing the dumb war on Russia who should be are greatest ally.
Iran is not a diabolical Iranian theocracy in its death throws, my friend.
Once again, you are confusing Iran with Murica!
Too long being brainwashed by your military masters, eh!
I call it as I see it.
Apparently seeing with them big coke bottle glasses is becoming problematic ehh little buddy?
What allies have we ever really been able to depend on? We have sacrificed our best young men twice for Europe. And now we fund their NATO, and UN. Until Europe hits rock bottom, they will not break their addiction to American money.
Funding, exactly! It seems to me if we pulled out of NATO and the United Nations and let Doge clean up the fraud that is rampant in our system, our deficit would disappear.
Nope, what drives our debt is the fraud, collusion and corruption -- all illegal -- in the medical system. Read Karl Denninger at Market-Ticker.
100% correct Kathy it looks like fraud in the US may account for 50-70% of the debt.
When has NATO been anything but a real estate platform for U.S. military installations? As someone who favors non-intervention, I'd be happy for the U.S. to pull out of NATO and allow it to crumble. But why keep pretending there was ever any realistic expectation of an effective military role for any of these countries?
Truth in Spending should demand that NATO be renamed NABO, because all wars are Banker's War, a fact that even two-time Medal of Honor awardee Smedley Butler finally realized and detailed in his great book, "War is a Racket" available free at Gutenberg, and a must-read.
Funny how WW1 broke out soon after the Federal Reserve was founded.
Not funny at all. The bankers along with the predator class pushed for the war, funded the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and funded the rise of Hitler. They only care about money not this country.
Bingo UncleBob9! We have a winner!
Strength through military and economic power will attract “allies”. Whether we will need Europes “help” is another matter,
Our hubris, penchant for bullying the ROW and incompetent diplomats are a main reason no one comes to the aid of the USA. even our so called greatest ally, Israel would stab the USA i the back if it benefited them to do so.
The US gets nothing in return for the economic and military support that it provides to the ethno-supremacist apartheid nation of Israel. In fact, the U.S. suffers internationally on account of its close relationship with Israel because of its constant vetoing of UN Resolutions intended to punish Israel for its human rights violations.
There is no alliance, and Israel is not our ally. Its government does not behave as an ally does, it has never fought alongside US forces in any of our foreign wars. Its interests are not aligned with ours as an ally’s should be. There is no formal treaty and no binding obligations that require our governments to do anything for the other.
Pundits always grossly exaggerates the extent of the ties between our governments. Israel is routinely called our “most important ally” in the region, or even our “most cherished ally” in all the world. These are ideological assertions that are not grounded in reality. Dozens of other states all over the world are better allies to the United States than the “most cherished ally” is. And they don’t preside over an illegal occupation and decades of abuses and crimes against the Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation. Now being ethnically cleansed in a genocide with US supplied bombs dropped on refugee camps and hospitals.
The effect of this constant repetition is to make the US/Israel relationship to be extremely important to U.S. interests when it is not. It promotes an illusion of a common interest where no real common interest exists ~ and has now suckered the US into being complicit in a genocide.
The US taxpayers are having billions of their taxes stolen and given to apartheid ethnosupremacist Israel. Americans do not have Universal healthcare. But pay for Israel to have Universal healthcare. And the US is $39-trillion in Debt. The US and Israel have made themselves pariahs in the eyes of the World. This is not going to end well for the US or Israel. The US will survive. The same cannot be said for Israel.
We get to watch Dennis almost kill himself with his high blood pressure!
Dennis, this site is unhealthy for you.
How "advanced" is a nation where preteen girls are menaced by gangs and its a crime to even point that out? That's all of western Europe now.
Compared with our current Allies? when it comes to trust the old adage of, keep your enemies close and keep your friends closer
Old adages may still be true, but from what I can tell the idea of national boundaries and international diplomacy may be moot. If the Puppet Masters are calling the shots, then they control the script and all sides of the theater. The world stage looks like that to me.
Greenland would be a perfect prison island much like Australia was, an island, small indigenous population and inhospitable weather. Deport all the Ne'er-do-wells there, we have plenty and let the inmates mine the glaciers for pure drinking water or dig below them for all the untapped rare earth minerals imaginable. Sounds like a Trump 5-D bigly win to me... And who knows in a century or two they could have their own leg of the Tennis Grand Slam; The Greenland Open, I like the sound of that...
That’s a great idea Len! Especially The Greenland Open! That should get all the lefties on board
I feel I am being unfairly denigrated here merely for being of the sinistral persuasion...
Hey, take no offence please, I'm left-handed too! An affliction since youth. As is my son, his mother and my sister! So you're on board, we can count you in?
War and rumors of war abound. Interesting times? Yes. Terrifying times? Oh yes.
It won't be terrifying until the war in the Middle East is brought to the doorstep of the USA. If Biden really let in 10,000 terrorists whom we do not know where they are or what they are doing, we could see more blowback, like the guy in TX wearing the "property of Allah" shirt.
Always, always, always carry your legal sidearm. Train, train, train with it. Civilians stop more mass shootings than police, and do it with fewer shots. If they want to bring the war to our gates, be waiting at the gates for them.
And George, do not forget to obtain lots of ammo for every caliber you have. Ammo will be very valuable if the millions of illegals began their rampaging before ICE can get them the hell out due to Demm obstructionism. The criminal illegals are their back up storm troopers don't you know!
Most definitely. For simplicity we try not to buy rifles or handguns outside of a couple calibres, 9mm handguns, .556, and .308 rifles. Always go with ammo that is popular and available anywhere. An empty gun is an expensive club.
Interestingly enough George, I have a 1908 Colt changed at the factory from a 44-40 to a 38 special. It is the heaviest pistol I have ever handled, even more so than a Casull 454, which is a monster. Always joked that it was a deadly weapon even if empty, just throw it at the perp.
"Civilians stop more mass shootings than police, and do it with fewer shots."
Got a source for that wild claim, George?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
BTW, why does a country which has one of the highest rate of gun ownership also have the highest rate of mass shooting?
FBI. Concealed carry holders train far more often than law enforcement, are more likely to be at the mass shooting when it occurs and have never yet hit an innocent bystander. They generally neutralize a mass shooter BEFORE it escalates to a mass shooting, making the determination that it would have been a mass shooting more difficult. Concealed carry holders are less likely to ever be convicted of a crime than law enforcement officers, even though they outnumber law enforcement dramatically. Concealed carry holders also stop threats with more on target hits yet less shots fired than law enforcement. On average, in the United States you are never more than 20 feet from a firearm. In the circles I prefer to orbit, the rate is likely to be within 20 feet of many firearms.
750,000 law enforcement officers kill on average 1200 civilians annually, while 325 million civilians kill only 40-60 police officers annually. Statistically, 30-40 thousand people are killed by guns annually, but thirty thousand are self inflicted.
Civilians are the safest users of firearms compared to law enforcement.
Bingo. Our military should be HERE finding those 10,000 terrorists embedded in our cities and towns, apprehend them and send them packing back to their home lands. Instead our military is spread throughout the world at hundreds of military bases doing what? Instead our military is lobbing bombs and missiles at water starved Iran.
I have no fear that the Middle East will ever be bringing war to the doorstep of the USA. They have not the wealth or the infrastructure to create a navy necessary to transport weapons or troops half way across the globe to put war on the USA's door step. You are correct. Their troops are already here.
And don't get me started on the Mexicans and their designs for the USA. Google "Azetlan" and you'll see.
Research ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, the umbrella over most mosques/masjids/"Islamic centers" in this country. ISNA is connected with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a terror-sponsoring organization.
Also research the jihadist paramilitary training camps just outside dozens of U.S. cities.
The terrorist cells are here. I'm amazed that they haven't been activated yet. But how long before they are??
You are strengthening my desire to have our military here, hunting these terrorist cells down and getting them the hell out of here.
The Elite don't want them to win. And they don't want Western Civilization to win. Whose side are they on? Their own. They want to cancel both out by getting us to fight each other.
Yep, that's the Freemason plan put forth by Albert Pike. See Ann Barnhardt's post from two days ago (i.e. 3/18/26)
I believe the Constitution prohibits the regular military from operating within our borders. In any case that should be the policy.
Unfortunately other agencies, including police forces (with their SWAT teams), are coming to resemble the army. I read that even the IRS has a gun-toting unit.
Seriously, from within our own borders? You got me stumped on that one, VS. I need to read up on that one.
Yes, police forces do resemble an army. Our police department just purchased some tank like monstrosity for their SWAT teams.
Per Wikipedia: "The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law signed into law on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic law by the federal government or by other government entities such as county sheriffs and justices of the peace."
So, not in the Constitution but a longstanding federal law. Ignored by Ike who "invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 to enable troops to perform domestic law enforcement [of school integration]. The president ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock ... and federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard ... ." (Wiki)
10,000? That figure is much to low when over 20M flooded our borders with 75% military aged men.
I have heard some say 40 million.
For an awful country there sure are a lot of mutts pouring in to live off of us.
And isn't it amazing how the doomsayers avross the web are more and more silent every day as this thing works to its inevitable conclusion - an actual US victory. ? And yet their followers will keep on until the kool aid is actually served.
China is not sane. It is a proto-fascist hellhole for regular people.
Whether you agree with his acts or not, there is a more important, simple fact: most of it is just un-constitutional.
"The future lies with alliances with sane nations, such as Russia and China, not Europe,"
If Trump has the geopolitics figured out why are we giving money to the Ukraine to continue the war on Russia and why are we trying to squeeze China out of getting the energy they need to continue as a sane partner and why are we still calling Israel our greatest ally?
They have no answer except the hackneyed, They are our best and only ally in the region. What do they do for us exactly? They help us help them.
That is truth spoken for all to understand.
It’s just a reminder to those countries that America, whether they like it or not, is and plans to remain the alpha male in the group.
We have dramatically reduced our support to Ukraine. Most is a result of contracts from the previous administration authorized by Congress.
I will post James stack this one is a good enough read, well done James. I am against the US bombing though...we made a mistake, Trump did. but I still support him...go USA!
Sorry Jack, you are reading the wrong comics.
The Americans are the one's committing suicide with its insane immigration policies and its ignorant Islamophobia. Islamophobia is the fear, hatred, and discrimination against the religion and practitioners of Islam. Not even a rapid descent; Yanks have always been jingoistic xenophobic assholes!
The word “Islamophobia” is an inaccurate label for a sick ignorant prejudice which targets skin colour, ethnicity and culture.
Disgustingly, the concept is now used to preach negative public opinion towards Muslims and Islam. With biased media reporting, verbal and physical assaults and online attacks.

This Kiwi thinks you and your 100 admirers here are racist degenerates!
No, Islamophobia is about the religion of Islam and the melding of politics, colonization, and world dominance they wish to achieve.
"The reason they were there was so America could steal Syria’s oil and grain which they were doing for years. It’s why they put in their Al Qaeda puppet with the help of ISIS and got rid of Assad. You won’t hear about the bases now since that swap was always part of the deal...
Joe Kent (the one who resigned recently) just confirmed this live on some video podcast:
US armed Al-Qaeda & ISIS in Syria to serve Israel’s geopolitical interests — Ex-US counterterror chief
Joe Kent, who just resigned as Director of the US Counterterrorism Center, exposes America’s role in birthing the very terror groups it claims to fight.
2011 US withdrawal from Iraq handed Baghdad to Iran.
Israeli lobby saw a 'Shiite land bridge' threatening Israel.
Solution: launch a 'dirty war' in Syria using Sunni proxies — including Al-Qaeda and eventually ISIS.
ISIS grew so out of control the US had to re-arm the same Shiite militias it had spent years containing.

There is no "majority" in this country. It's just a polyglot boarding house of squabbling third-worlders, obese tattooed freaks, crazy women, drug and gambling addicts, etc., with a small minority of actual Americans.

Bingo. The American republic has been dead for about two centuries, give or take. It’s the land of self-interest, the reckless pursuit of “wealth” — more this, more that, more “equality,” more stuff, more money.

Probably the most important development is the breaking up of London's "insurance" racket. It's odd how the banksters in the City of London believe they can continue with business as usual as their city becomes a caliphate. Trump obviously sees the reality and stuck a stake in the beast's heart.
The City of London will be satisfied if a central bank crypto can be imposed, eliminating cash and putting everyone in an Orwellian Panopticon- and Trump, for all his supposed populism, hanging Jackson's portrait, etc., allowed his palm to be liberally greased by the crypto lobby so that the same fate awaits the American people, who have a lot more to fear from this eventuality than any "caliphate." When it it going to down on people that endless war and endless expansion of the national debt is the order of the day? $10/gallon gas? $50/lb hamburger?
The liberal media cries: “the war in Iran is a quagmire” Ironically, the only quagmire is the irrelevant, propagandist liberal media.
And Ukraine after 4 years? The only people who think the NYT, WaPo, and the other miniature versions of them are legitimate news sources turned off their minds some time ago. Personally, not a fan of this move against Iran that is largely, if not entirely, because of Israel's strong influence, but it's been what? less than a month? Hopefully, it doesn't drag on and things get relatively settled much sooner than later and then the focus can return toward pushing the dem party over the ledge they're standing upon.
I’m MAGA and for once the liberal media might be right.

It's all fun and games until the Warthogs show up. Also the Apaches. The Pars gas field has been attacked and the talking heads quote 4-5 years to get it running again. That's what they said about the Kuwait oil field destruction and subsequent well fires after the 1st Gulf War. Then Red Adair and Boots and Coots showed up and had the situation under control in months with the help of the Hungarians and their jet turbine well extinguisher thingamagig which blew the monstrous well fires out like so many birthday candles. Today the oil isn't flowing but all that oil and gas is still sitting there for future use.Notre Dame Cathedral, century's to build and destroyed in hours in 2019, was rebuilt in 5 years by thousands of craftsman using old building techniques. I never thought it would happen. Don't believe everything the "experts" tell you on the internets. Everybody has an opinion when they have zero knowledge of what is actually happening on the ground. It's not called the "fog of war" for nothing.
Funny stuff...but first you gotta get them boots off the table and onto the ground; can't wait to see that happen. Have y'all forgotten the ass kicking Pentacon has received in all its wars since....Grenada?
"When the Warthogs show up. Also the Apaches."
That's about the same time as the US loses the war.
Despite all its wonder weapons.....
The US military has lost every war since WW2.
And apparently killed the most people of any country since.

Spineless, gutless, ball less cretin
Shabbos goyim talking tough is always cute.
Amazing levels of difference in narratives.
We see Hegseth and four-star general Caine openly talking about mission status and how utterly the military in Iran is collapsing.
On the other side talking heads like US Army Colonel McGregor saying the US is losing.
This is parroted by many who want America to lose because "Israel."
Colonel McGregor has the better argument.
I have taken the time to listen to him, and his opinion is underwhelming since he is not privy to all the data.
What data? I submit McGregor may be privy to accurate data and Hegseth and Caine are simply lying. Why do so many former high ranking military men with access to plenty of data agreeing with McGregor and criticizing Hegseth and Caine?
Col. Macgregor has plenty of contacts inside the legions and the offices that make them dance. He's privy to a lot more data than you or me.
That would mean he is being passed secret or higher data which I will point out is illegal.
He does work for Fox news after all, and all the good liberals tell us is that Fox news lies.
Can you back that up with evidence?
I don't need to!
Listen to what the man says.
He is either a traitor, liar, or an idiot
Can you back anything you EVER say with evidence?
How do you know that, Ben?
The only way you could make this claim is that you were privy to all the data.
Do you know "all the data", my friend. LOL
More than you.
Neither are Caine or Hegseth.
And yet they provide evidence that contradicts the other sides narrative.
Are all the almost 8,000 targeted sites obliterated in Iran just Ai generated video like the sinking of the USS Lincoln?
Come on Tom where did you go?
Justy another drive by?
Does it? Perhaps they are the ones disseminating disinformation making you totally uninformed by the truth of what is taking place.
Amazing how you "think" you are onto anything resembling facts or the truth.
Odd how that works huh?
LOL…MacGregor hasn’t been right about anything, going back to his discussions on Ukraine, etc.
Enlighten us?
From the Wiki for what it's worth.
Three days after the Ukraine War began in Feb. 2022 MacGregor said," "The battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over," and predicted "If [Ukraine] don't surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them." Macgregor said he believed Russia should be allowed to seize whatever parts of Ukraine it wanted. In a second appearance, he revised his prediction: "The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle. They've now corrected that. So, I would say another 10 days this should be completely over.
10 days huh? that was 4 years ago. Another "expert" absolutely wrong.
So before NATO involved itself, then?
McGregor has a great voice, is very articulate and persuasive and just makes stuff up. The man is delusional. If he has any family or friends who love him, they would let him record his fantasies, give him a bowl of ice cream and then burn the tapes.
What a ridiculous comment, Alan!
Tells us more about you than it does about Colonel Douglas McGregor.
Put your bong down my man!
McGregor is a fool. A stopped clock is right more often.
I often fail, and sin, but I don’t make accusations about others, especially publicly, unless I am certain I have the facts straight. If I get the facts wrong, I correct it and apologize.
Do you support Greater Israel? Are you a Jewish fundamentalist? If not, there's no reason to support their war or their influence in the United States. And not just the Fundies either. As has oft been said, They believe in the Promise that was given to them, they just don't believe in the Promise Giver any more.
Trump has already advised that this is not ‘Israel’s war’. It’s basically a war to make sure that radical fundamentalists don’t have the wherewithal to build a nuclear bomb. What’s so difficult about understanding that?
Israel has nuclear weapons in defiance of international law.
LOL…’international law’…a phrase that actually means nothing, and the ‘international court’ is not accepted by a majority of nations. International law is globalist mumbo jumbo.
"We see Hegseth and four-star general Caine openly talking about mission status and how utterly the military in Iran is collapsing."
It could well be a three-star military collapse. Forces belonging to Iran, Israel, and the US are all vulnerable to being gutted. A four-star collapse if you count Ukraine.
Who knows, it might be a good thing if all these countries' armies, navies, missiles, missile defense systems, what-have-you end as billion-dollar wreckage. That could enforce peace if there's nothing left to fight a war with.
Ah, but there's the wild card: nukes, both tactical and city-obliterating. God bless the child who's got his own. That means above all Israel and the US. The grim prospect is that either might succumb to the temptation to use nukes if they are decisively losing.
The Samson option or Uncle Sam's son option lurks in the background. The first player to go that way will win nothing but scorched earth and burned-out petro facilities with no one to repair them. Plus, playing the nuclear card will earn the wrath of Russia, China (both having their own stocks of sunshine-in-a-can) and the rest of the world.
I have an idea for a way every combatant can back off while saving face. The governments of Israel, US, and Iran should issue a joint announcement that extraterrestrials have shown up in the halls of government and demand childish humanity knock off the fighting immediately. If we don't, they say, they will climb back in their interstellar vehicles and blast the whole planet into a melted marshmallow.
All mankind will breathe a sigh of relief and insist governments put down their swords. Peace, it's wonderful.
I vote for the aliens.
LOL!
Awesome scenario! It would not bother me, there in the middle east, if they were to somehow blow each other off of the face of the planet...
.. aliens not required.
The answer is to give Iran some nukes ASAP. Pakistan has vowed to do so if Israel uses one. Why not be proactive and stave off this disaster?
Dealing nukes to any country that doesn't have them already adds another worry to a volatile situation. But in the case of Iran it might make sense by leveling the playing field. Mutual assured destruction (MAD) kept the US and the Soviet Union from sending each other to kingdom come for nearly half a century. Maybe it would have the same effect in the middle east.
BRAVO! This post made my day. I am so sick and tired of even the people that are supposed to be on "our" side pounding away at Pres. Trump and his allies. The man is absolutely brilliant- a genius. Nobody else could have figured out how to cut the Gordian Knot.
Trump is an enigma. Hard to predict. But make no mistake, the man loves America!
Thanks JHK. There is another small ray of sunshine. I noticed yesterday that Trump DOJ has issued a new subpoena for James Comey.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/03/19/james-comey-subpoena-obama-russia-election-interference/89234189007/
As you had reported, Both Comey and Letitia James slithered away when an activist judge dismissed the first investigation. The article goes on to say that this time the investigation is reportedly being led by a Florida federal prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones, a Trump appointee.
I hope charges stick this time.
Today’s CFN is an interesting mixed bag.
“Epic Fury” in Iran will neutralize a regime dedicated to terrorizing the region” is true, though not as intended. What you think you know is entirely dependent upon what sources of news reporting you believe to be legitimate - but we shall see, won’t we?
“Meanwhile, the US will continue pounding Iran until it can’t launch so much as a distress flare. They will have no nukes, no navy or air force, no more missiles and drones and payloads, and no ability to manufacture anymore of them” presupposes that we live in a world today in which having a navy and an air force still wins wars. That world is long gone, as we have seen in our succession of military failures.
Our mighty aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford, was sent packing by Iranian drones and missiles (a “laundry room fire,” tee hee) Our ultra complex F15s and F35s have already been shown to be vulnerable to the same Iranian weapons. Our continued investment in naval and air force capabilities is great for investors, but not so much for defeating a significant adversary. As for Iran running out of their stockpile? Again, we shall see.
“US can eventually leave policing of the Persian Gulf to the nations that depend on its oil (we do not)” is a doozy. All nations need the stuff, and will pay what they must for it. Oil and gas are priced on the margins, and a shortage anywhere eventually raises prices everywhere. Doubt it? Track the cost of energy for your household for the next year, and see how that prediction turns out.
On the plus side, you old Cold Warriors must recoil at “we are ideologically more aligned with post-Soviet Russia than we are with France, Germany, and UK under their current regimes,” but it’s quite true. Recall that one of Mr. Trump’s assertions when running for office in 2008 was that we ought to normalize relations with Russia. Of course, “Joe Biden’s” sabotage of Nord Stream 2 put the kibosh on that, and our continued reluctance to recognize our military failure in Ukraine is hardly hastening the day when that can happen.
It’s more likely that the president’s catastrophic blunder of finally buying into Netanyahu’s War will cause the good ol’ US of A to suffer long-term economic collapse, while Russia continues to build a prosperous future with its allies – including Iran.
Howard Skillington, bumptious as ever.
I bet less than half of the hearters here could define the word bumptious. But they like their tired old fantasy, which you are still enabling - for the time being.
There you go, as one who enjoys the misfortunes of our aircraft carrier and mocking the success of Epic Fury. Some of us will never understand your disposition towards American success being so full of defeatism.
Some of us still believe that favoring good over evil still trumps mindless jingoism.
In this case, in a world desiring terror or globalism, jingoism seems right and patriotic. No?
No.
No.
No.
That might depend on who you're calling "good", pendejo.
You're damned right it does.
Pendejo is not calling you something nice. 😊
I am aware of that. Puerile name-calling does not keep me awake at night. For want of reasoning, argumentation, or evidence those with a low IQ resort to name-calling. It's actually a sort of compliment and a concession.
You mean Epstein fury? We're not the good guys and haven't been for a very long time.
We’re not bad guys either…the US military is the best.
Yup, the US military is the best at losing wars since WW2.
And at killing people. Gold medal if there was one for that sport.
I was speaking in terms of morality.
You know how you hear a little voice in your head when you read things? When I read this I heard fart sounds.
So, you're a fart-head.
That's not my problem.
Maybe it was the Blacks pouring gasoline into the stopped up toilets.
In any case, they're throwaway drones loaded up with explosives are built for 20,000 dollars. The missiles sent against them cost hundreds of thousand.
Howard the Ford was not hit by Iranian anything. It would be impossible to hide the kind of damage on the outside of the ship thirty hours of fire fighting required. An external fire is actually easier to fight. I had originally thought it was a trash fire from an exploding vape in a trash compactor.
Perhaps, in which case it was an excuse to get beyond missile range. The fact remains that we do not have the ability to prevent a missile attack on our carriers, and such an attack would easily sink them. They are strategically useless in today's world.
Keep telling yourself all of that.
They are a projection of power, period, end of story.
Were, yes. Are no more.
Still!
Now!
Your saying so doesn't make it so. They are impossible for us to defend and easily sunk. You will see that they make no useful contribution to Netanyahu's War.
So you think it was gasoline being poured into stopped up toilets and then lit?
Nope there is zero gasoline on a carrier. Your fascination with calling blacks saboteurs runs contrary to my actual real world Navy experience. Give it a break already.
Your actual real world Navy experience that involved losing every battle!
LOL
Didn't lose one, not even close, but nice try.
The last one pummeled Yemen for several months.
Do try to keep up.
I will add that it is iluminating how you squeal about racism unless it is someone who is trashing something you don't like.
Shame on you Dennis it is a very bad light you are painting yourself in.
I grew up around blacks. I could tell you some stories.
"Recall that one of Mr. Trump’s assertions when running for office in 2008 was that we ought to normalize relations with Russia."
Israel would never allow it.
Why? Israel is another country that agrees with Putin to not let the Islamic terrorists into their country!
Where has Israel allowed a white nation to continue to exist?
Just which ones are those ‘white nations’???
Why the quotation marks? You don't think we exist or you think we do but shouldn't?
If you don’t understand what quotation marks mean, it’s time to go back to grade school.
All of them
Come up for air already.
So Jim, was America born stupid or was it a skill they developed as they grew.
Does America need Middle East oil? Does America need the Middle East at all. Why the fuk is Israel of any importance?
If China needs oil, let them go fight for it. After all, there is an ample supply of them so let them go fetch what’s needed for their livelihood. Not an American issue.
Maybe this 2026 we can enjoy the greatest Christmas ever. One without Israel.
Enough already.
People consistently refuse to see that this is not about Israel. For the protection of Americans, these Iranian terrorists needed to be blasted into oblivion since they have threatened us for 47 years as the “Big Satan”. They wished to destroy us with a nuclear weapon (which they were about to achieve). It took #47 to undo those 47 years of threats and treachery. We need to see it fully accomplished. We are blessed to have the “Little Satan” helping us enormously in this undertaking. Thats it. Let ‘Epic Fury’ be the icing on the cake that celebrates world peace.
Well said, thank you Marsha.
Can you please share with me the last time that Americans were killed by Iranian terrorists? I'd really like to know.
On October 23, 1983, a devastating terrorist attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, resulted in the deaths of 241 American service members.
It was likely perpetrated by Hezbollah ("the party of God"), Iran's proxy/ally in Lebanon.
Did anyone bother to ask why there were US Marine barracks in Beirut in the first place? Foreign entanglements such as these have not served the USA's best interests.
The famous quote comes to mind "no foreign entanglements" unfortunately we have all been duped. As I see it we are saturated with foreign entanglements similiar to a beggar thy neighbour. But the best quote I had ever read was, " stealing from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries".
That crystalized it for me.
It was far easier to ignore you crazy neighbors two hundred fifty years ago when it took months of effort to bother them.
Now they can hit a button and in less than a half hour that bother explode on your doorstep.
You can start here: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2025/06/19/iranian-and-iranian-backed-attacks-against-americans-1979-present/
How would a nuclear bomb affect you and your immediate surroundings? Give it some thought.
From Iran? Surely you jest. Iran doesn't have nukes. We've made sure of that. So, if a nuke is going to beset us, it isn't going to come from Iran.
So, again, I ask. Please share a terrorist event where Iranians killed Americans?
They've been working on it. Are you willing to take the risk? And they do back terrorism.
And the Saudis don't? I recall 9-11 was conducted by a slew of Saudis. We didn't bomb them.
I again ask the question. Have the Iranians conducted any terrorist operations that have killed Americans? Have they bombed any of our cities?
The lies and hatred never stops. What is the matter with you people?
Indeed. We know that the squatters occupying Palestine will use them when they are inevitably defeated. I presume you may have heard of the so-called "Samson Option"? Kind of like the "Hannibal Option" that the IDF used when Palestinians attacked in October. Only your cousins will slaughter all of us and not just the real Semitic people of Palestine when your zionazi regime is "taken out".
In 2024 and Iranian with the curious name of Merchant was arrested for plotting to kill Americans, one of whom was DJT. So maybe it's mostly about Trump. Recall after Solemeni got burnt there was a call for revenge?
Israel figures into this in that they are part of the who Iran wished to destroy.
As far as Iran is concerned Jews are to be under the boot and not in charge of their own country.
Ben, my friend,
I promised myself that I would only READ CFN from now on. LOL
But getting to here, my nurses said my Blood Pressure was 240/120!
It was a choice of calling the ambulance ~ or posting something to cool down.
Hope you are well today, Dennis
Reductionist thinking focuses on the notion this is about containing Iran. Step back and widen the focus and there’s a much different picture; one in which the Great Satan, the US, “fights” to retain World dominance. They have two ways to a “win.” One is to gain control of the oil flows from the Persian Gulf. This one’s not likely, costly and uncertain. The “easy” win is to get Iran to blow up everything and effectively shut down the middle east oil/gas industry and take out all of the US competitors with it.
The US can weather this as they can affect reliable supply close to home with increases in frac oil and supplies from Canada and Venezuela. I understand it is self-sufficient in fertilizer. Export controls and sanctions as part of some “emergency” order can help keep prices in check.
Meanwhile, Europe crashes, as do China and India and most of the global south/BRICS folks, this is the real game afoot. As the Gulf monarchies lose their revenues, their subsidized lifestyles go away and their populations get upset. Those in control, and with the bulk of the wealth, will flee, and where will they go? The only 2-places still standing will be the US and Russia. So, the US can gain a lot of investment out of the deal to help with onshoring manufacturing. And China is welcome to Taiwan if they want.
This is where Venezuela fits in, as it removes more oil from China, and, on the margin, combined with small increases out of Canada and ramping up frac oil in places like the Permian, solves the local oil supply problems. This isn’t 4-D chess, just simple application of leverage. Burn down the rest of the world and focus on this hemisphere. Leave everybody else a mess that will take decades to sort out and set about business in the US as usual.
That would explain why Trump isn’t interested in negotiating. I think he wants Iran to blow everything up. Doesn't it make the US stronger at a time when debt, currency debasement, and other bubbles are ready to pop anyway? Better to be in a stronger position than everybody else and have some control over your own fate.
It is funny that everybody in this comment thread will be quick to call Trump a liar. Then take him at his word that this is about Iran. That’s just nuts.
As to Israel here, they are actually in the role of useful idiots as there is no possible win in this for them no matter how it goes. And if they nuke somebody, that just helps the big plan along. And gives Trump the excuse that it was those pesky Israelis that did it.
Hi Dennis Holy shit man!
Get that blood pressure down!
I knew you would be back.
"It’s so funny how Trump apologists have started claiming the United States has been at war with Iran for 47 years, because I had literally never once heard anyone utter that claim until this war began. It’s just a talking point they all began regurgitating at once in order to justify Trump’s warmongering. Pretty sure if there was an ongoing decades-long American war I would have heard about it before March 2026."

They're right. We're ruled by monsters. Have you heard of the Epstein files?
"People consistently refuse to see that this is not about Israel." Righty ho and Agent Orange is clean as a whistle. Got it!
The Epstein Regime garbage can.... Satanic filth in the prurient interest.

Peace means making Israel obey international law. That means American, European, Russian, and Iranian observers allowed in to denuclearize Israel's arsenal.
That isn't enough.
Whatever…I have set you off, Lugh, but I can already predict your responses, so I’ll allow all opinions, free speech, and disregard the attempts for arguments.
In other words, you have no argument, but simply assertion.
Stunning reply, simply stunning.
Israel is the only Christian state in the ME. Even the deceased Helen Keller can see that the current Islamic takeover of the West is a serious threat to the world. Must I elaborate further?
Israel is Christian??
It's certainly not Islamic. In case you didn't know there are Christians living there. Unlike Islamic countries where they are not welcome.
It's not about oil, TX. It's about money. War is always about money. We can't justify a trillion dollar defense budget if there isn't some hapless shit hole country to lob missiles and drones at. 7%! 7% of America's petroleum comes from the middle east. No, this isn't about oil, this is about keeping the fat cats at Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrup-Grummond, Boeing and others in the black and getting big fat bonuses to all those humble CEOs and keep their rats in Congress well paid with bennies and perks.
As the national debt looms, and the American dream erodes, America, at least the way we knew it, is drawing to a close. Government is suffocating the middle class and accelerating the process. This isn't difficult to see
The Government Grift from our Local Governments, through the States and Federal Governments Corruption plus Their Own Featherbedding Enrichment has stolen their way steering us towards a certain oblivion.
Our Government is broken and our Representative Government thinks our money is theirs!
They know we know they are stealing our tax dollars left and right and they know we are coming for them and they are now desperate to keep their Government Grift Going.
They have tried everything including a Planned Pandemic, Stolen Elections, Assignation Attempts, Paid for Government Media, imported 20-30 Million Controllable Voters…
This isn’t difficult to see, it’s in our face at every turn and their hands in our pockets digging deeper and deeper.
Nah, the "debt" is an illusion and will not be paid back. A new system is emerging. Government does need to be scaled way back though and will be
That's probably why they don't pay any attention to it.
What is the new system? Any ideas?
In a sentence - A return to the American economic system and an end to the globalist imperialist system. Key components of the American system are sovereign credit, industrial development, and a productive economy serving the general welfare. This system, invented by Hamilton, is based on the fundamental belief that humans are creative, can know the truth, and can govern themselves. Concepts embedding in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
On the flip side of this is what we have today, an imperialist system of fraud, chaos, engineered backwardness, and total control designed by Jeremy Bentham, a truly vile British operative who engineered the Jacobin takeover of the French Revolution. At the time, the French were looking at our economic model and were beginning to adopt it, but the City of London banksters knew this would be a disaster for them so they subverted it.
Bentham believed that human creativity was impossible, that knowable truth is impossible, and the humans were nothing but prisoners of our senses, animals responding to pain and pleasure.
Over the years, this imperialist system has used things like forever wars, Mockingbird Media, the Federal Reserve and Income tax to cause chaos and maintain control. Trump told the Davos crowd that globalism is finished. He also blasts the Federal Reserve on a regular basis and is making noises about doing away with the income tax. He has also created so much distrust in the mockingbird MSM with his relentless "fake news" attacks that very few trust them anymore. All this stuff is related. This is extremely short-hand there is a lot more to it, just wanted to give a brief response.
Only Congress can do away with the income tax as it would require a Constitutional amendment. We all know how inept the US Congress is. Though, I suppose he could eliminate the IRS, being a part of the executive branch. Will it happen? Not a chance in hell.
Remember too that Trump will replace the income tax with tariffs to “punish” imports so manufacturing comes home. Someone or something has to pay the bills in this silly dependent country. Congress? Hahahahaha!
Hi everyone.
He can't eliminate the income tax without the Congress. It will need a Constitutional Amendment. Congress? Yeah, you're right. Hahahaha.
Elimination of income tax is a pipe dream.
You will own nothing and be happy. Rule by the Bank and its shareholders. Look at the dollar bill. See the Capstone? We will be ruled by those therein.
Object and you will own nothing be unhappy, if indeed you are able to still around to feel anything at all.
We already don't own anything, Lugh. Property taxes stripped us of our right to truly "own" property.
True.
Why take the pain, when you can take pain pills?
If we’re ever gonna do it, now is probably the time. Pull the plug. Wipe the books clean. Erase the international debt: ours, theirs, every single nation. Nobody owes us and we no longer owe any of them.
I’ve suggested this solution to my friends before (and they’re smart people) and no one can explain exactly why it wouldn’t work. There are a lot of smart people in this forum. Help me understand.
Which will require scaling back the safety net and dealing with the resultant riots and lower level resistance. Will be ugly and against our empathetic instincts.
I’ve always thought that Trump had more in common as do most Americans, with Putin, than with Keir Starmer. He has not let the hordes in because he values his country’s culture and wants to preserve it as Europe does not. Aligning with him, Poland, and Czechoslovakia is the way of the future to hold off the Caliphate. Trump has a long view, like China, but he now has China where he wants them. As for the newspapers that hang on, despite the fact that 51% of the country doesn’t want to read them I truly do think that they are supported by the deep state, but as blogs and alternate media have shown us and have flourished, they have become inconsequential in the scheme of things and it’s almost laughable to watch a so-called press conference. Trump amuses continuously by bringing up Pearl Harbor in the presence of the Japanese Prime Minister.
I do agree and appreciate that Trump does love America, though, he's an enigma and he's extremely unpredictable.
For the Pearl Harbor analogy to work, Iran would rebound from the surprise of Operation AIPAC Fury and defeat its attackers. Even then, it's not a great analogy, because Iran is proving to have been better prepared for a sneak attack than was the U.S. in December 1941.
Remember that Trump respects strength above all. You are right, his comment actually showed that he thought the Japanese sneak attack was a superior move against the ambivalence of America at the time. So comparing his move against Iran to Pearl Harbor was a compliment to the Japanese.
AIPAC Fury. 😊 Good one.
And with all that they are still losing.
They'll bring the world down before they fall. The Chinese Era will commence with Russia as their strong right hand.
Doubtful they will break up Iran into balkanized states long before that. Don't forget both Russia and China have a Muslim problem.
Backwards to the future!
"Aligning with him, Poland, and Czechoslovakia is the way of the future...."
"Czechoslovakia" ?
Oh dear......
Where ya been since 1993?
Czechia
You get a golden star!
The eurotard pols in EUSSR, Brussels, the Euro peon branch of Natostan, don't know where Iran is anymore than their "peers" in Washing town.
At least they seem to be smart enough not to die for "Israel"...unlike the enslaved US puppet regime.
https://nashaniva.com/en/390466
They will when the new call in Europe is, “Incoming!”
Europe is totally dependent on the USA for defense.
They have now admitted Iran can reach parts of Europe with their loving peace missiles.
If only they reached Australia and New Zealand, these two hypocrite countries would be singing a different tune right fast.
It is a result of two missiles fired at Diego Garcia that both missed by miles. One of Iran’s problems with their missiles is that they cannot hit the broad side of a barn from the inside with them. So instead of hitting specific targets, they hit whole cities, or at least try to.
A question, how come we get such a big backlash about hitting the girl’s school in Iran and nothing about the schools and many other civilian targets in Israel and the Gulf States?
Like the (ex) Gulf family dictatorships "depend" on the angloZionaZi collection of scum for "defense" as they now go up in flames and occupied Palestine gets the full Gaza treatment. LOL Ain't karma peachy!!
USSAN "defense" is like inviting the plague into the house and let's not even quote the Kissinger demon on being friends with that plague.
The Islamofascist posts and crap is slung all over.
Begone scumbag.
NYT apologize? Chuckle. They still haven’t apologozed for Walter Duranty.
