Confronting Trump ke? Lmao 😂 🤣

You don ever see where dem sack Vice president before?

E go start with JD Vance.
There is already a serious rift among Trump's inner circle.

Joe Kent is just one of the dissenting dots that came to light.

The crew on the Ford Carrier didn't just wake up to sabotage the ship and this part of the operation.

Someone from the inside put them up to it.

There is a whole lot going on inside than meet the eye.

This idiot can wake up tomorrow and demand the nuke briefcase been put before him. a lot of you underestimate how emotionally unstable pedo is. This war can easily draw in Russia directly. The risk is that high.

Confronting him doesn't have to be an.open fight.

Just tell the pedo and paint a picture of how bleak november is looking like for the GOPs as the Iran war persist. Currently, none among the maximalists is telling him this.

Paint a scenario of how the Dems are hoping he escalate further, then fails so they can roll back in control of Congress vis-a-vis impeachment plot. Work on the son, Baron and get him by your side.

Just cook up something that Trump would resonate with instantly, and hope he declares victory in a week's time and bring this unnecessary and nonsensical war to a close.

Otherwise, being the willing laundry guy won't save Vance when the walls come crumbling down.

He has a very short time to act or kiss his political career goodbye.

business is booming




india just bought 5 million barrels from iran at a premium to brent price

there is an additional $2m per tanker fee to cross




i don't know how anyone looks at that and thinks iran is in a hurry to end the war

phones in tehran are ringing non-stop

-Lord
In a hurry keh.

This is a godsent opportunity for Iran.

You dey fight war, you still dey make money from the war at the same time. Why would you want it to end when what your enemy wants is to freeze it, then resume at a later date.

Iran's own preparations aside, Russia will NEVER miss out on this opportunity either. I read a report recently that Russian missile factories are now working overtime to keep the "humanitarian aids" flowing to Iran.

Here is the fact, only Russia and China can stop this war on the side of Iran, even if Iran doesn't want it to stop. We know why.

Both sides have capabilities in this war, but the real game changer so far is INTEL. and we know where the bulk of Iranian intel comes from. But that is not to say the Iranians haven't done much. In fact, they have exceeded all our expectations, including the enemies own.

But, now is the time of revenge and money-in-the-bag. While the Russians can compromise on the latter, they never joke with the formal.

Retribution is in the Russian national DNA and the US will eat, drink and be filled with it via iran. The Russians never forget.

vance has returned to the forefront

he had been sidelined in favor of rubio, witkoff, kushner when they were all optimistic about achieving their maximalist goals
now that it has become a dumpster fire, vance is now running point on finding an off ramp and clearing their mess

-Lord
It’s actually hilarious how this administration operates like a chaotic reality TV show where nobody knows the script. Well, I'm not altogether surprised.

There are rumors that JD almost follow up on Kent resignation with his own as he struggles to balance loyalty to Trump with with having to deal with hawkish isolationists in the MAGA camp. While he publicly supports Trump, the boy has been very restraint and uncomfortable with the way the Rubio, Hegseth and Kushner crew has been holding and misleading Trump in this Iranian brouhaha.

Dem use the boy as spare tire, only bringing him out when the main wheels have fallen off and the car is sliding into a ditch. After breaking everything up, they now want the Yale law star to lawyer things up before the whole house burns down.

If Vance wants any hope of landing the GOPs ticket in the next election, he needs to be extremely careful. He must ensure he does not become the designated laundry guy for Trump and his crazy, hawkish team's stupidity.

If he just stays as the guy who mops the floor after Kushner and co trip over the bucket, he’ll be seen as a weakling, just another part of a failing setup.

if he continues playing Mr loyal and carries their mess on his head, his political career will suffer with them when the voters start looking for someone to blame.

Vance can increase his chances for the top spot by distancing himself from the MAGA failed "maximalist" ego rides and position himself as the steady, sensible hand who actually understands the working class, not just another billionaire’s errand boy.

No be every mess person suppose pack, and if he keeps playing the role of the submissive deputy who only shows up to fix the shites, the party will never see him as a leader. He needs to move from being the "off-ramp" guy to being the one driving the bus, and that can start by confronting Trump and telling the truth to his face or else his 2028 dreams will end up in the same trash bin as this administration's current foreign policy.

Aisha Qaddafi, daughter of late Muammur Qaddafi, address to the Iranian people:

"Negotiations with wolves do not lead to the salvation of the herd - they only fix the date of the next hunt," she stated. According to her, the West assured her father that if he gave up on nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, the world would open its doors to him. "He believed it, made concessions... And NATO's bombs turned Libya into ruins."

She urged Iranians not to make concessions to the enemy, as they do not lead to peace, but only to destruction.The experience of Gaddafi and Libya confirms her rightness.

The US and NATO asked the Iraqi resistance for a 24-hour ceasefire, they agreed

Abu Mahdi al-Jafari", the military spokesman for Saraya Awliya al-Dam, announced in a statement that the Americans and NATO have asked the Iraqi government for a 24-hour ceasefire from the resistance groups to complete the withdrawal of their forces from the Victory Base in Baghdad to Turkey.

Jafari added that most of the Iraqi resistance groups that received the government's request agreed to a ceasefire on the condition that the positions of the Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi forces from the holy city of Samarra to Karbala are not targeted.
World's greatest military begging ordinary militias for a ceasefire.

I cover my left eye and my right yansh in shame.

Now, thousands of weapons in that location will fall into the groups hands, paving the way for a full fledged Iranian control of the Iraqi airspace.

This is a serious loss for the US. It will greatly undermine whatever ground ops they have against Iran. It will also make the cost of refueling and overflights across Iraqi airspace a Herculean, If not impossible task to do here after. No wonder the Iranian authorities are boasting they now control the skies in Iraq.

I can bet my left ball that Pentagon planners didn't see this coming.

This war is fast becoming a catastrophic endeavor for the devilish Zionist and American Evangelicals cult of which Trump and Bibi are willing puppets.

LordAdam16:
so after the us withdrew from all federal iraqi territory
the hegemony did a sleight of hand and retained a NATO mission on federal iraqi territory

the axis of resistance is now evicting this nato mission
nato requested a localized 24 hour ceasefire within iraq to facilitate prompt evacuation

-Lord
I said it here two days ago that an agreement was reached by those NATO countries to evaluate the base.

The US did try to reinforce that base by sending in helicopter forces. Maybe they thought it was Hollywood. Well, the militias sliced through them like butter and the survivals ran away like mad.

If NATO evacuate Iraq and the US loses access to it, it would add more strain to their operations because the militia will make it difficult for them to operate freely on Iraqi airspace, especially now that they are using hand launch SAM systems against aerial targets.

I think that is where the US 5000 forces are headed, to prevent the space from falling into the hands of direct Iranian control once the militia takes over.

This puts the Iraqi national army in a precarious position. They cannot be seen working hand-in-hand with enemies of Iran for fear of massive destabilization by factions loyal to the Persian cause, nor could they go up directly against the US that still controls the Iraqi economy.

And there is still the issue of the Kurdish militias which the Iraqi army must make a decision on. If the US succeeds in activating them, where would the support of the national army lies?

The only sure thing now is that Iran will gain a much firmer and bigger footing in Iraq as the war rages on.

Some elements of the Iranian forces have been deployed closer to the border areas with Iraq, because a potential move from that angle is increasingly becoming likely.

In the coming days or a week, we expect to see some very hot ground encounter in that part---whether in the federated territory or across the border into Iran.

Israel themselves just reported that about 4,292 persons have been injured since this war began.

That they're now releasing that figure means either the casualties have become too heavy for media censorship to contain or the genocidal warts are setting the ground for their next sinister moves.

But the sheer scale of destruction in Arad from last night's attack now compels me to ask, what kind of missile exactly did the persians drop in Israel last night shocked??
We did said there will be a lot of surprises during this war. There is so much more about iranian capabilities usreal doesn't know yet. The missile that struck Arad carries a 6-tonne payload. This will now convince the genocidal scumbags running the show in Israel and America that Persia wasn't bluffing when it said it has weapons yet unseen by its enemies.

AF Post:

An American nurse based in Germany tells AF Post that the casualties (wounded and deceased) coming into Germany from the Middle East are "far higher" than what is being reported.

While we cannot confirm death rates, it has been reported that there are hundreds of wounded, with potentially hundreds more slipping under the radar as part of the newscycle, not necessarily because the US is "hiding" the numbers.
We are already aware of this. They knew that we know that they have suffered high casualties than what is being reported. Israel's case is even worst.

The beautiful part is that Iran said it has no oil to sell to other international players.

What I'm trying to understand is why Iran waited for this war to happen before closing the strait. Other countries charge for such passages but they chose to allow ships to be sailing at zero cost. They should have closed the strait when they decided to reinstate those sanctions.
Well, it is definitely a head-scratcher when you look at the timing. But, the more you look at it, the more sense it makes that they did not close it pre-war.

For a long time, Iran did use the threat of closing Hormuz as its biggest "bargaining leverage." Keeping it open wasn't really about being generous or offering free passage; it allows Iran to stay connected to the global economy. As long as the strait stayed open, Iran could still try to sell its own oil and keep some diplomacy alive with countries like China and India.

If they had closed the strait back when the sanctions were first reinstated, it likely would have provoked this war much sooner, which could have closed the window of preparation Iran badly needed.

Closing a major global shipping lane is usually seen as an "act of war" by the rest of the world. By waiting until the actual fighting began on February 28, Iran was able to use the closure as a direct military and economic move rather than just a political protest. That patience is what has steered the war in its favour today.

Now that the war is in full swing and the U.Sreal camp decided to hit their oil hubs, Iran is also making sure no one else can move oil through that area either. The strategy is all about "if we can’t sell ours, nobody can sell theirs as well," and that has sent global prices skyrocketing. It was a master plan by Persia.

Now, they're not just getting the sanctions lifted, but also making a tonne of money from allowing passage through the strait---these would never have been possible pre-war.

What i noticed after the F35 incident, there have not been a single plane from the American or Israel airforce posting videos of flying over Iran to execute missions since yesterday. There is no more speech about taking over Iranian airspace, did the PR stunt suddenly collapsed.
Majority of the videos they were posting were outright fake.

Some were from old clips edited to look recent. They even copied and posted videos from game consoles to show their air supremacy and control over Iranian airspace.

But, the fact remains they were never close to controlling the skies let alone flying freely over it.

The few times they've tried saw their planes getting shot down.

The F35 hit was the nail on the coffin of that narrative.
