    Iran should have developed nuclear weapons long ago.

  2. What happened to the peace deal that Trump and Kushner brokered in the Middle East?
    Yeah...They forgot to include the Palestinians and the Iranians. Peace was supposed to last only while they were in office , and while they grifted money from other Muslim nations.


    Trump mocked online for response to Iran attack on Israel

    Donald Trump on Saturday decided to respond to the recently reported attacks by Iran on Israel, and it did not go well.

    "ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK! This should never have been allowed to happen - This would NEVER have happened if I were President!" the ex-president wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump also made a post insisting President Joe Biden was forced to go to the White House based on Trump's words.

    But Trump's response was skewered on social media.

    Foreign policy analyst David J. Rothkopf said, "Don't let Trump or MAGA GOPers tell you they would be tougher on Iran when a.) they were the ones that enabled Iran to accelerate its nuclear program and b.) they actively support Iran's primary international backer/ally--Russia."

    Jeff Timmer, a former Michigan Republican Party executive director and outspoken Trump critic, issued a correction to Trump.

    "Fun Fact: Iran attacked U.S. military sites in Iraq while Trump was president," Timmer wrote.

    British journalist Anthony Davis had a simple reply to Trump:

    "This happened because you were President, Sir," he wrote Saturday.

    Popular account Angry Staffer wrote, "Shut the f--- up about how Israel wouldn't have been attacked if Trump were president. Iran attacked US when Trump was president."

  4. I agree. Iran, and every other nation have the right to develop whatever weapon they choose. They also have the right to use them as they please. So do we. There will be consequences should governments make these decisions. All nations should be choosing their leaders more wisely considering the consequences are disastrous if poor decisions are made, and considering the idiot fucks we have in government...consequences, they are a comin.

    Trump hasn't been in office for over 3 years, moron.

    There are two options facing you. Option 1 is Trump loses in November and he will fade away quickly. Option 2 Trump wins and has 4 years of Presidency and then he fades away. Either way, there is a maximum of a little over 4.5 years for Trump to be a major player. After that, who are you going to blame your pathetic life on?

    Iran has claimed the attack as a great "victory" and they "taught Israel a lesson". Apparently the definition of "victory" includes having all of your missiles and drones shot down... and not hitting any targets.

    Iran looks militarily weak this morning after their complete failure -- especially since their attack appears to have been swatted down like a buzzing, annoying fly. And the fly swatter is being picked up to shortly put an end to the issue.

    IMO opinion the best course for Israel to pursue.... is to not directly retaliate against Iran for the attack while making loud demands to the U.N. that Iran be held accountable. Rather Israel should direct its forces to eliminating the Hezbollah rocket launches in Lebanon and finishing the job in Rafah to eliminate Hamas. Now that Iran has directly attacked Israel, the country will face far less international pressure to stop its military operations in Gaza. Effectively this attack by Iran gives Israel a free hand to complete the job -- especially in context of Hamas refusing to agree to any internationally-brokered ceasefire agreement.

    Will Israel follow the proposed path above? I doubt the right-wing Netanyahu government will hold back. Most likely they will engage in a direct attack on Iran with a focus on taking out Iranian military bases and drone/missile launch sites.
