    I should have sold some stuff today before the big market crash this would cause. Hope orange doesn’t do anymore stupid though.

    This makes sense.

    Losses mid term, launches nuclear war head at Iran, uses it as a pretense for martial law. I need to get my passports in order.

        This is the honest but scary take. If you follow other regimes around the world, waiting until martial law is far too late. Your ability to move unrestricted is generally impeded by that point.

        “For that reason”…. 4 years ago is a broad guess for that. It could be another 10-20 years and then you’ll be “see! See! I was right” even though it may not be any reason you thought of.

          Right right “We can all clearly see where this is going but we don’t know when it will arrive. Best get out ahead of time, it’s better than waiting till it’s too late.”

          You: “Nooo, that’s totally unreasonable! We might have all the time in the world! Stay stay, once it’s too late then you can try to get to safety.”

          What a stupid take.

          I started getting ready to leave in March 2020, as Biden secured the Dem nomination.

          Because at that point it was obvious that either (a) Biden would lose to Trump (absent COVID, he would have) or (b) would win, deliver nothing, and the GOP would be back in power in 2024 with little to stop them.

          The US is in worse state that I thought it would be at this point. tbh.

      It makes zero sense, don’t be a sucker.

      Think of all of that oil pumping infrastructure, hundreds of billions of dollars, pumping oil every day.

      They won’t destroy that if there are other options. There are other options.

        The oil infrastructure in Iran, you mean? Built and owned by Iran, not the USA? Why wouldn’t they want to destroy that? Or are you talking about Iranian retaliation on Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrein, etc oil pumps?

        for the downvoters: I wouldn’t want that, they would.

        The alternative is Trump going to jail for raping children and the rest of his cabinet for conspiracy. Do you think Trump wouldn’t rather destroy the world than see a day inside a cell? Because we’re all fucked if Americans do anything less than physically drag Trump into prison ASAP, but Americans would rather let the world be destroyed than rise up against their precious leader.

    It would be really funny if Iranian hackers change the coordinates to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

    As much as I despise Tucker, he likely has more insight and information as his brain works the same as the other lunatic traitors.

    Still big grain of salt, but with Hegseth firing the senior war planner and Trump desperate with the midterm elections as well as the defeat of Netanyahu in Israel, anything is possible.

      There’s also all the warnings from various countries to stock up for 7 to 90 days. The US also just forced all it’s military bases to prepare to be self sufficient for 90 days.

      Also don’t forget the SAM installation at Mara Lago.

        Last I heard, his opposition might hold their collective noses long enough to form a coalition with the Arab parties to force removedBoyBibi out.

    I feel like if Trump tried to order that, even his cultists in the us army would refuse to risk the end of the world over losing in the midterms, but maybe even the little tiny faith I have in MAGA to not start a nuclear war for their daddy god emperor is too high. We’ll see I guess

    First, Israel/Netanyahu’s only objective for Iran war was to reset it to stone age so as no obstacles to its Greater Israel project or palestinian extermination program remained.

    Article does not portray TC as informed in any realism. Pickaxe mountain target is set as a “victory bomb and retreat” campaign. This does not meet Israel’s ambitions. It can probably be attacked by conventional weapons as strike is performative anyway. A ground burst nuclear detonation is extreme evil because it contaminates the region for 1000s of years. Nuclear strikes on Japan were air bursts. People moved to Nagasaki and Hiroshima a week after, when the fires were out, with no abnormal health effects.

    Russia nuking Ukraine in response has no sense. There are supposed red lines to nuke Israel by Pakistan, out loud, and whispers of China and Russia red lines for the same.

    With those flaws, its enough to assume everything is made up.
