[quote author=WriterrNg post=138689279]⚡Reporter: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans now.

Trump: That is an easy problem compared to what we are doing here... What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We are talking about something else.

Indian journalist Braj Mohan Singh returning from Israel drops a truth bomb:
"Even bunkers aren’t safe, people died deep inside them. Iranian missiles sometimes hit without sirens. Israeli government blocks hospital access, hides casualties, lies about its losses, and doesn’t allow filming. Braj Mohan Singh"

He said the Israelis government will open your phones to see what pictures you took, this is the same thing reported by CNN etc
They have to.
Weapons are the primary export of the US, aside that, they barely export anything tangible to the rest of the world.
They are making a killing from these weapons so if the real truth comes out about there inefficiency, their economy will be toast.
Arabs, Europeans and other countries buying them in bulks, in billions won't do anymore which will have adverse effect on their economy.
These weapons have over bloated prices.

A friendly reminder:
Today is Day 8 and Iran is still very much in the game!
you mean to tell me that after 7 days of uninterrupted bombing, iran is still standing

after all the f35s, worlds largest airforce, aircraft carriers, b2, b1, b52, tankers

when the russians faced off napoleon, they retreated and let him overextend his supply line leading to a decimation of his army
iran is five times larger than vietnam
dem go bomb, dem go tire
but while they're bombing, the global economy will go up in flames

oil is at $90

the next milestones are 100, 120, 150, 200

we should hit $100 next week
by the end of the month we'll be at 120-130
by the end of april we'll be at all time highs

can they bomb all of iran into the smithereens by april end?
they can try but it is impossible
but at $150+, the global economy is f*cked

and the entire world will turn to persia with a blank check

On Friday, a major training exercise for elite paratroopers in the US was cancelled, prompting speculation that Mr Trump is preparing for boots on the ground in Iran.

The 82nd Airborne Division includes a brigade combat team of between 4,000 and 5,000 soldiers specialising in ground combat, which is ready to deploy on 18 hours’ notice.

So now "residents" are also firing. It's until bomb hits them that they suddenly become "innocent civilians".
Yeah. Let's believe Israel wouldn't kill them anyway if they don't fire on them. You are doing well

Now, this is getting messy.
For how long will trump go down the rabbit hole before throwing in the towel? I guess it is his ego.
Ego that doesn't accept defeat or a No.

There are very few pro Russia on this app that have sense, same way there are few pro Americans here that have sense.
But a whole lot of propaganda and coping coming out from the camp of the pro Russia/Iran here is just laughable and ridiculous at this point...
Since wey your prediction that Iran will surrender before Monday did not come to pass, you have been sounding like a broken record lately. You will be fine my brother.

This Indian journalist who recently escaped from Israel tells us what no western msm will:

English Transcript:

“When a missile strikes, it does not differentiate between whether you are Indian or Israeli (Indians face racism in Israel). It’s just rhetoric that bunkers protect you. I saw people dying in 100-foot-deep bunkers, and they (Israelis) don’t tell you the facts. Press freedom in India is much better than in Israel. We are thankful to the Indian government, it provides details. In Israel, the government does not tell you anything at all. You cannot film the dead bodies, and you cannot visit hospitals. When an incident takes place, we are not given the details of the location. The next day, when we visit the site, we are told, “There was only one casualty,” but a local told us, “There were four houses, and everyone died,” which shows there was a major incident.

We are told Israel has robust technology. However, let me tell you that one day early in the morning there were no sirens, and missiles struck without any warning. The technology fails, and it is hard to determine when drones and missiles will strike. You must have heard by now that Iran targeted almost every U.S. embassy in the Middle East, and maybe they tried targeting it in Tel Aviv too. We wouldn’t have survived there.”

Is it the dollars or the weapons that is propping up US economy. You need to make up your mind on which is.

yesterday, oil jumped 10% in a single day
it will not jump that rapidly everyday
but it was a proof of concept

iran is on the right path in its economic war

persia should do everything to ensure the strait of hormuz remains closed for the next 3 months

reject any offers of unconditional ceasefire

there can be no ceasefires
and the strait will remain closed until the conflict is resolved on persia's terms

during the vietnam war, the vietnamese rejected ceasefire offers from the americans
then the americans started saying they should halt attacks to negotiate withdrawal of us troops
the vietnamese refused
the negotiations for their withdrawal occurred while they were still being targeted
this is why the window for withdrawal was short and why they left completely by the due date

road no far again

leg 1 of 60 (when the terrorism started in january) to 90 has been successfully completed
the next leg is 90 to 150

experts have been calling the strait of hormuz, iran's economic nuclear weapon for decades
now, we are seeing it in action

23jerryking:
Leave him jare, now that Iran is taking heavy losses that's the picture he wants to present to his followers. As if there were not just chilling on their own when Iran decided to attack them. If you attack multiple enemies at once then it can only mean that you're strong enough to face them all. No pity card would be accepted when they start retaliation against you.
It's a case of poor planning.
1.
Iran was hoping to mobilize these oil rich nations to prevail upon America to stop the attacks.. Trump has a personal vendetta to grind against them , they have been plotting to assassinate him in revenge of killing Solemani and again of bombing them in 2025.They have been loudly saying so

2.
Weak strategy. Iran thought by having thousands of missiles and drones some of which will creep through air defences would put them in a position where fighting them is costly. They know American and Israel general population would protest against the war if body bags start piling up

3. Naval Warfare . They thought that a fleet of fast attack boats would overwhelm US warships and carriers , if they downed one the Americans would protest. They were hit from far by tomahawks,most of their naval vessels have been sunk. 40 plus so far.

4. The left sides with Islamists against the conservatives. Far left paid protesters are joining Muslims in protests.
5.
Poor PR. By showmanship of their strengths they thought Israel and America would think twice before attacking them. They have been releasing videos if their missiles, boats , drones etc in an attempt to intimidate any adversary.

They are censoring everything, this war is a disaster. All they have now is claiming a naval victory even though Hormuz is blocked.

I was thinking they would say they will stop attacking Muslim nations. Osama bin laden was helped by CIA while in Afghanistan. When he saw American troops on Saudi soil they became his enemies.

My brother, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Iran is still standing firm and holding out to the sheer disappointment of the self-appointed spokespersons of the West here with us, to the disgust of Israel and all her half-brained supporters but to the delight of all who empathize with the oppressed, truly loathe the Hegemony and it's imperialists ambitions masked as foreign policy, and all who seek and are waiting to welcome a multipolar world where nations and peoples, whether big or small, would have at least a say in their own sovereign affairs and make the right decisions that benefit their people first and foremost, and not just be channels to feed other nations and peoples, often in faraway lands, fat while they remain destitute and look to crumbs, from the same nations feasting on them, for survival!

i have said it from the start

the pedo is a patsy

if their plan had succeeded, great, dems will still win in the mid terms and he'd leave in 3 years
if the plan fails, even better, dems win the mid terms, and trumpism ends permanently likely with an impeachment and conviction

the plan is foolproof
people like rubio and co are okay with a dem president in 2028 so they can run in 2032
the people who hate trump the most are on his own team




i firmly believe they are giving him selective information

i'm sure when the strait of hormuz problem was raised before the war,
they told the pdf that it could be solved with escorts
and he believed it because he is that slow

all they need to keep him onside is to show him pictures/videos of explosions in iran
like a toddler

sh*t will eventually go sideways when oil tops $130
like they did in minnesota when pretti was killed
the trouble for him is that he could pull ice from minnesota and fire noem to douse that fire

firing the wannabe crusader who is secdef will not be enough
this will finish his presidency because iran will decide when the punishment ends
he cannot just taco and say he wants a ceasefire
he tried that on day 2/3, and he was told to go pound sand

this train has no brakes until there is an economic collapse
