gatomontes99 Posted February 25 Report Posted February 25 A war with Iran is looking highly likely. Quote https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/us/2026/02/24/gang-of-eight-rubio/ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday briefed the so-called Gang of Eight, the bipartisan group of top congressional leaders, to discuss Iran. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, said after the meeting that "this is serious" and that the Trump administration needs to "make its case to the American people", without elaborating. Senate Republicans issued a warning to Iran after the meeting with Mr Rubio, who is also acting National Security Adviser. "Iran’s leaders know the consequences for pursuing nuclear weapons," they said in a post on X. "They should not repeat past mistakes." This makes me think there will be bipartisan support and that there is an urgency. Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?
John Stone Posted February 25 Report Posted February 25 (edited) ............. bombing Iran? Iran will defer, delay, obfuscate for as long as possible - time works for them ..... they're banking on the U.S. public. Good bet. Likely the U.S. will declare victory and GTFO. ............ Trump has painted himself into a corner. Declare victory ....... any flavor ....... likely be the outcome. It's a Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), MAD, MAD World .................... and becoming more so. Edited February 25 by John Stone Quote
herbie Posted February 25 Report Posted February 25 Not dealing with Venezuela. Iran is capable of striking back even pulling off operations on US soil as a response if it wants to. Quote

Nationalist Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 What makes anyone think Iran is a serious threat to the USA? As it was with Ukraine...this is not America's concern. Its Isreal's. Let Isreal deal with it...if they can. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Like it or not the U.S. is p/o the Global economy - arguably it is a U.S. construct - post WWII. Strait of Hormuz is globally strategic - rising gasoline prices are hugely political domestically. That aside, Iran can use it's artillery to attack U.S. troops deployed regionally. That, that, aside ........ a regional conflict is to be avoided - Global economy again. I agree with ur solution, tho. Quote

This isn't gonna be like when Biden bragged about a drone strike for a week, until we all found out that he just killed 7 children and some aid workers. It's not gonna be like when Biden said "It was the most successful withdrawal ever" despite the fact that Americans were killed at the indefensible airport that Biden chose, hundreds of terrorists were let out of jail when they didn't have to be, as many as 9,000 Americans were left behind in Afghanistan, American forces just stopped communicating with their allies and turned the withdrawal into an "every man for himself" scramble, and thousands of Afghan allies - who risked their lives for years to help America - were left behind to be tortured and killed. It's not gonna be like Biden's "secure border" that allowed 10M people to enter the US illegally. It's not gonna be like when Biden claimed "No inflation" while inflation was at the highest level since the great depression. John Stone: Biden had an extensive history of claiming brilliant success from catastrophic failures, and braindead cultists like you regurgitated every single word of those lies verbatim, so don't sit there now pretending that Trump's gonna follow some loser pattern that has already been established. Can you name a time when Trump called something a success that was a Biden-level catastrophe? Just one thing even?

Politically, Afghanistan was a fk'n disaster. .......... the treasure and lives lost make it a debacle hard to quantify - plenty of blame to go around, start to finish. Remind me again who's in control in Afghanistan? That said, the departure was much delayed. Fk Afghanistan ................. fk mission creep and all those political hacks who perpetuated it for political hack reasons. Quote

You: Quote Likely the U.S. will declare victory and GTFO. Trump has painted himself into a corner. Declare victory ....... any flavor ....... likely be the outcome. Me: When did Trump ever do that before? Biden did that constantly, when he was blatantly lying. Leftists LOVED it, and parroted all of his lies, so you're just projecting Dem shortcomings where they absolutely do not apply. edit: I forgot to mention that Biden LOVED to pretend that all the jobs that came back after the lockdowns ended were somehow "New jobs, created by his brilliant economy", and that the jobs that were temporarily lost during the lockdown were "a result of Trump's failed economy". Biden's lies were unbelievably transparent, and on a scale that is unprecedented, even for politicians.

The truth is that politics is a game of lying, deception and bullshit............. and always has been. Granted, modern communications have turned politics into something more akin to entertainment. My god man, look at the quality of those that u rely on to lead u ............ white or black cat. I laugh at it ......... but I'm not alone ........... the World laughs as well ...............more the pity. Democracy is becoming a facade ............... and what is really scary?

What goes around, comes around, Comrade. You don't have to tell me about the decline of democracy, JS. We came within an inch of full-on fascism during covid, and don't think that the LPoC and CBC didn't notice how willing the majority of cultists here were to see the gov't strip away our most fundamental rights and freedoms, and inflict on their friends and neighbours. We even had "voluntary self-isolation camps" set up in Auschwitz NWT and Dachau Yukon that our gov't brazenly lied about. As long as the MSM is completely controlled by one party, which is now taking over the role of Grand Internet Censor, the existence of democracy is nothing more than an illusion anyways.

No, Biden was playing a dumb, dishonest game, bragging about zero inflation for a month, when we were still facing like 9% inflation for the year. Even then, that 0% was still an absurd thing to brag about, as it was the total CPI, which was basically everything that had increased in prices except gas that month. Now keep hiding, coward. Quote
