So, when you call yourself a Nationalist… is that for the nation of Russia? 

No its a political belief.

My nation first. Remember?

In my case, with the Libs in charge, Canastan is about lost to me.

Yes… and which nation is your nation first? Russia?

I fear if Russia were to invade Canada, you would be on the streets waving the Russian flag welcoming them.

Well...as I recently retired, Im sort o' on a mission to find an acceptable place. Got a place in Bohemia but, it needs work.

If russia invaded Canastan, and I was here with my kids, I'd probably head for the countryside and ammo-up.

Speaking of ages...

Moses - the age of Aries.

Jesus - the age of Pisces 

Approximately 2050 - the dawning of the age of Aquarius. 

Every time the ages change, there's a complete freak-out by humans.

This war of choice against Iran by Israel and the United States has already caused serious economic problems across the world. The Americans don’t seem to understand the way the world is shifting because of it. Their credibility is in peril.

Had Israel not attacked Iran in February 2025 and in June, the Islamic regime would now have an atomic bomb to use against Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Independence Day torchlighters on Thursday.

This would have been "the beginning of the end for the Jewish people," according to the prime minister. 

"This year, we faced a massive test. A little over a year ago, it became clear to us that Iran was preparing atomic bombs to destroy us. This is not an empty statement; it is not a 'spin.' If we had not acted with the spirit of 'a nation rising like a lioness and roaring like a lion, they would have atomic bombs, which would be the beginning of the end for the Jewish people. We were compelled to act," he said.  unquote

Trump needs to shut up. His constant contradictory comments in person and online are causing confusion and must make negotiation much more difficult. 
 

Quote

One Iranian diplomatic outpost in Ghana pointed out on Tuesday: “In the past 24 hours the president of the United States has: — Thanked Iran for closure of Hormuz; threatened Iran; blamed China; praised China; declared the blockade a success; confirmed Iran restocked through the blockade; promised a deal with Iran; promised bombs will fall on Iran.” The embassy described Trump as a one-man WhatsApp chat group.

At the weekend, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said of Trump: “He talks too much.”

It makes sense now. You are cheering for Iran. Of course you are taking their side.

Do you think Iran supporting and directing many major terrorism networks has cause much more pain and suffering than the US and their campaign against the worlds largest terrorist supporter....without these terrorist groups most of the middle eastern problems would be gone...

I think the world has a chance to get rid of this terrorist state, bring peace to the region, allow Iranians to become a more peaceful country is worth the pain we are suffering right now...

....... has to be said, that the World shouldn't take seriously anything that Trump has to say........... the concern tho is that he is the leader of the free world and the keeper of the nuke codes.

That's how Iran almost ended up with a nuclear weapon, not to mention dismiss the fact Iran sponsors and controls many different terrorist groups, because everyone was afraid of what Iran would do....or how it would look like come election time...Israel and the US are doing the world a huge favor by punishing Iran...

................as Kenny Rogers used to moan about, 'count ur winnings when the dealings done" ?

“we more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world. We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority.”  / Trump

As of 2025-2026 the U.S. nuclear arsenal includes 3700 warheads in the stockpile, which are divided into 1770 deployed warheads and over 1900 in reserve. An additional 1477 warheads are retired and awaiting dismantlement, bringing the total inventory to around 5000 warheads overall (active & retired) Additionally the US has a myriad of ways to launch and it goes without saying that it has layers of 3rd strike capability.

Iran has no ICBM launch capability and the science and technology to develop it is about a decade away. 

I doubt that the squib that touched off 'Epic Fury' and  "Midnight Hammer", was a humanitarian concern re: Iran's nuke capability? Recall that Iran's nuke capability was "obliterated in the June attack" / Trump.

Trump was punked by the Jews ......... it was to be a short excursion....... now we have the 'fog of excursion'?

Arguably Bibi's joy of the US involvement was only exceeded by Putin's on hearing of Trump's reelection. 

"no timeline for ending the war with Iran' / Trump

Not sure where you get your info from....But Iran has ICBM capabilities, they been using them during this short conflict...as for having a war head they have enough enriched uranium to make several; small devices, hence why trump bombed that facility...but with out boots on the ground hard to say if any of it survived...

Iran has been a thorn in the middle east for decades....If there was one country that deserved to be shot in the face it is the Iranian regime...be it for developing nukes, being a massive terrorist sponsor, or just humanitarian reasons. So not many tears around the world being shed for Iran.

The Job needs to be finished, SO Iranians can start to pick up the pieces...

I really wouldn't expect Trump to 'finish' the job - recovering the nuclear 'dust', is a real challenge. However, the US is ballz deep now, he might have no option - the guy has painted himself into a corner. 

Iran used an intermediate range ballistic missile to strike Diego Garcia. 

Iran does possess platforms that could carry a nuclear warhead - however, presently Iran lacks the  technical ability to miniaturize  such a warhead...........no question who the target would be with the limited range of the IRBM. 

No, Iran does not possess Inter-Continental-Ballistic-Missiles. 

The R&D for ICBM  is very transparent - test firing?

NK's Hwasong-18  ICBM  development was tracked throughout. (downrange launches)

HK developed the ability to miniaturize the  Nuke warhead about the same time as the successful test shots.  The H18 has the capability to strike any US Continental target with a nuke warhead. 

All (Global) weapon states except Pakistan and NK are confirmed to have deployed MIRV missile systems. 

North Korea and Iran maintain a cooperative and strategic relationship wrt missile development.
