Try to keep up with the current events my friend. And try to make AI your friend.
You pick a few strategic hits on military targets and conclude IDF is worse than Iran.
Hamas and Hezbollah missiles are made in Iran or from Iranian sourced components. Over 50,000 fired at civilians.

Iran is worse than ISIS . If it wasn't for the fact that it's a recognized govt , it would be committing unimaginable atrocities.
If it wasn't for your lack of knowledge about Islam , it's war and aims you'd never support the Iranian.
A govt that slaughtered over 30000 of it's own people this year. Give me a break.

Many of these cables pass through the Strait of Hormuz within an area where Iran can legally exercise sovereignty.

Under the proposed governance model, submarine cables passing through the strait would require permits, fees, and compliance with Iranian laws, while their management, repair, and maintenance could be exclusively assigned to Iranian companies, turning the Strait of Hormuz into one of Iran’s digital power levers.

Update on Don Tzu's Middle East strategies.

Muted US response to Iranian attacks deepens Gulf fears about cease-fire

https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-us-ceasefire-deal-gulf-countries-9402cac4

By Sune Engel Rasmussen and Summer Said

The Trump administration’s attempts to shrug off exchanges of fire with Iran this week deepened concerns among Arab Gulf states that any deal to end the war will expose them to future conflict with a vengeful Iran.

Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, dismissed the attacks by Iran on ships in the Strait of Hormuz this week as “low harassing fire.” On Thursday, President Trump said Iran “trifled with us.”

The efforts to play down the attacks came as the Trump administration tried to protect a fragile cease-fire and keep peace talks moving forward. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. expected a response by Friday to its one-page memorandum of understanding that would declare an end to the two-monthslong war, while warning the Iranians would be “blown up” if they attacked the U.S. and its allies.

But for Gulf states that host major U.S. military installations and have long counted on defense ties with America as a hedge against Iran, the attacks by Iran represented another humbling moment in a conflict that has badly damaged their security and economies.

They are now worried, senior Gulf officials say, that the deal to end it will focus on Washington’s main concern—Iran’s nuclear program—while leaving intact what they see as the main threats to their security: the regime’s conventional missiles and its allied militias.

“Having an angry, injured Iran that is cornered is bad for Gulf countries, because it isn’t containable in the way it was before the war.” said Dania Thafer, executive director of the Gulf International Forum, a Washington-based think tank.

The war has also undermined a diplomatic process initiated by Trump to normalize Gulf relations with Israel, raising questions about the U.S. security guarantees underpinning it, and revealing more clearly Israel’s military might and ambition, senior Gulf officials say.

The six Arab monarchies bordering the Persian Gulf, dubbed the Gulf Coopertion Council, for years maintained their security by keeping an open line of communication with Tehran while deepening defense ties with Washington. They now are reassessing their dependence on Washington, realizing that they have little sway over U.S. military actions and that American bases on their soil didn’t deter Iran from attacking them, senior Gulf officials say.

“When the U.S. launched their attack, they did not take into consideration the GCC’s security concerns,” said Mohammed Baharoon, director general of the Dubai Public Policy Research Center, a private Emirati think tank. “We were not part of that assessment.”

Perhaps to assuage fears among Gulf allies, Rubio this week approved arms sales worth $25.8 billion to Middle East partners, tripling the amount announced by the administration last week.

Iran retaliated for Israel’s killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by attacking Gulf countries directly, an unprecedented step, and learned that it could impose significant costs on the global economy at a low cost and effort.

The six Gulf monarchies are now internally divided over how to approach Iran, as well as the U.S. and Israel, in the future. They disagree partly because Iranian attacks didn’t hurt them equally.

The bulk of Iranian attacks targeted the United Arab Emirates, including the crucial Fujairah port, oil facilities and other infrastructure. Kuwait was heavily targeted due to the presence of U.S. bases. Saudi Arabia was hit repeatedly but suffered relatively contained damage, and intercepted many missiles. Oman, long a mediator in the Middle East, evaded major direct strikes.

That calibration of attacks was deliberate by Iran, and has forced its Arab neighbors to focus on individual, sometimes competing security interests, rather than present a unified front, Thafer said. “The problem is the Gulf states don’t see the Iranian threat equally,” she said.

During his first term, Trump brokered diplomatic agreements known as the Abraham Accords to normalize relations between Israel and various Gulf states, and they are widely considered a significant foreign policy achievement.

The war in Gaza dealt the initial blow to the normalization process, making it politically untenable for some Arab leaders to nurture diplomatic ties to Israel. The Iran war then sharpened divisions among Gulf states and exposed the limits of U.S. protection, further undermining the accords, Gulf officials say.

One position uniting the Gulf states is a refusal to let Israel exercise strategic dominance over the region. They unanimously think Israel poses as great a danger to regional stability as Iran, Gulf officials say, and that it is trying to drag them into the war.

Even so, the U.A.E. is looking to firm up its relationship with Israel, as is Bahrain, partly as a hedge against Iranian threats. Israel sent its Iron Dome battery and dozens of troops to the U.A.E. in March. And in another sign that it is increasingly going it alone, the U.A.E. last month announced it would leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

“The U.A.E. is signaling that regardless of how the war ends, they have lost faith in the value of regional cooperation,” said Sam Worby, managing director of Global Repute, a geopolitical advisory firm.

Worst case for the Arab monarchies would be if their competition while navigating the U.S.-Iran standoff prompts a new Gulf rift, which could spill beyond the Middle East, Worby said. Rivalry between the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia has in the past pitted the two powerful monarchies on opposing sides of civil wars in Sudan and Yemen.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are increasingly looking to other world powers for support. Pakistan last month sent warplanes to Riyadh after signing a security pact with the kingdom in September. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the U.A.E. are turning to South Korean missile-defense systems and Ukrainian drones. China, Russia and Turkey increasingly pursue security interests in the region, too.

Oman has emerged as the most critical voice opposing Israel. Its mediating role and back-channel negotiations with Iran helped Gulf states reopen flight corridors within days after the war started. Omani officials continue to try to convince Gulf neighbors to maintain diplomacy with Iran, and recognize that dealing with the Iranian military, given their inability to neither predict nor sway Trump, is inevitable.

Gulf states have for years hosted U.S. bases on the assumption that the bases would grant them security. The bases were controversial among Arab populations, and became liabilities when Iranian retaliatory attacks targeted them. Qatar, in particular, has begun questioning the policy. However, abandoning military partnerships with the U.S. is complicated, as Gulf defense systems are intertwined with American equipment, maintenance and training.

Gulf decision makers also debate whether to build a strong military alliance among themselves, but some doubt they would be able to build a self-sustaining military industry capable of deterring Iran, several senior Gulf officials said.

There is no easy way for Gulf states to deter future Iranian attacks, said Dina Esfandiary, Middle East analyst and author of “New Order in the Gulf: The Rise of the UAE.”

“The only way you rebuild deterrence is through a combination of containment and engagement. And you build ties with the Iranians so they don’t resort to airstrikes against your territory. But I don’t think that’s how the Gulf Arab states all see it,” she said.

🚨REMINDER: Judge Arthur Engoron and Leticia James claimed Mar-a-Lago was worth between $18 million and $27.6 million.

Forbes just valued Mar-a- Lago at $564 million.

30 times what they claimed.

They scammed just to get Trump on fraud.

They both belong in prison.

This should be filed under election interference which has fines of 5 years or more. Plus, addition charges

Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law: A federal crime where a judge uses their official position to willfully deprive an individual of constitutional rights.

Obstruction of Justice: If the judge intentionally corrupts the judicial process.

Bribery and Fraud: If the wrongful charge was motivated by personal gain or kickbacks (e.g., the "Kids for Cash" scandal).

Felony Charges: Depending on the jurisdiction and severity, acts like perjury or filing false documents can be felonies.

Professional Discipline and PenaltiesJudicial conduct commissions investigate complaints of misconduct and can impose significant career-ending sanctions.

Removal from Office: The most severe sanction, used for persistent or egregious misconduct.Disbarment: Removal of the judge's license to practice law.

Suspension: Interim or permanent suspension without pay.

Public Reprimand or Censure: A formal, public rebuke that damages the judge's reputation.

Accountability MeasuresIf a judge acts outside their jurisdiction or commits "fraud upon the court," traditional immunity may not apply, allowing for:Civil Rights Lawsuits: While rare, a judge can be sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 if they violated someone’s constitutional rights and were not acting within their judicial role.



RICO case should expose all the coordinated democrats lawfare.
Engoron used the property tax assessed to declare fraud before trial. When taking a loan,tr value of the business is what you declare not the brick and mortar valuation.
The trial was to determine how to bankrupt Trump.

What's the end game for liberals.
Judge freed this thug despite prosecutors telling him not to, this thug ends up murdering a police officer

CHICAGO JUDGE JOHN LYKE IGNORED PROSECUTORS AND FREED CAREER CRIMINAL WITH 7 FELONIES — NOW ACCUSED OF MURDERING POLICE OFFICER

Calls are ramping up to impeach and hold liable Chicago Judge John Lyke after he released a known dangerous criminal who then allegedly killed a police officer.

“The judge said NO!” the report highlighted. “The judge was convinced he changed his ways.”

Alfonso Talley had seven previous felonies, including armed robbery and using a gun to carjack a woman. He was already facing four separate violent crime charges and had three outstanding warrants, including for violating electronic monitoring.

“Prosecutors told Cook County Circuit Judge John Lyke that Talley should be kept behind bars until his trials,” the report stated. “But the judge said no.”

Citing Illinois’ no-cash-bail law and the state’s safety act, Judge Lyke released him anyway. Talley was later arrested for robbing a dollar store and pistol-whipping a female employee before shooting Chicago police officer Bartholomew.


What was the point of releasing a dangerous felon.
There are many judges who have done the same. Time they were held responsible. This be similar to a bartender serving a drunk with alcohol who then goes ahead and commits a road accident.
If this was in Wakanda, you'd know bribes were exchanged.

For 47 years Iran has launched , directed,sponsored, facilitated terrorist attacks on other nations killing at least 1500 Americans and over 3000 Israelis in the process. I have documented that here in the last few weeks.

I've edited my post.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 8:47am On May 09
I have been a vocal proponent of the gerrymandering for a long time.
Democrats have had the upper hand ,in their strong holds they have done their best to eliminate Republican seats. They did this through state legislature .
In republican strong areas they went to court demanding redistricting be redone. In some cases the Republicans drew a map,the democrats countered with one then got a judge to impose the democrat one. This was the case in Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.

All this is inherently wrong . The spineless Republicans not wanting to be called racist simply accepted the maps which increased democrat house numbers.

The supreme court hasn't blocked the civil rights act.all they did was declare redistricting based on race unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court gave the go ahead to gerrymander based on party politics in 2019. It also ruled that redistricting should not be a court process but state legislatures.

I think in Virginia both parties had formed an independent commission to redraw maps after census results ..When Texas and Florida eliminated a few seats, Virginia democrats blatantly decided to override the commission and compensate for lost seats in Texas . They did it stupidly ,5 seats originating from Fairfax.see below.
The second image is Alabama 2023 vs the map a judge imposed.

Democrats never play fair.

tctrills:
4 reasons why racial gerrymandering is wrong in the United States:

It divides people by race instead of bringing citizens together as one country.
It can make some voters feel their votes matter less because district lines are drawn mainly around race.
