War with Iran!!!

Trump claims the US sunk 9 Iranian Navy ships.

 

Three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets were struck by “friendly fire” from Kuwaiti air defenses and lost over Kuwait during Operation Epic Fury.

I'm wondering if Claude was responsible, the AI the DoD is using in the war, despite Trump ordering its use discontinued immediately.

 

Iran is hitting the Gulf States now where it hurts, in their oily balls and tourism industry.

The Saudis and possibly others may join the fight.

 

At this time, this song is relevant...

As the administration tries to come up with a good reason for going to war with Iran, Trump says Americans may need to die on American soil for his war.

He don't give a shit what happens, so long as people stop talking about him and Epstein.

 

I can't work out why the Republican Party isn't reigning him in. I think their failure to do so makes them complicit if not actually culpable for the inflation, job-losses and, now, needlessly lost American lives.

@Toker - do you have a link to him saying about Americans dying on American soil? I may repost elsewhere
I wonder does he expect us to think of American soil as bases overseas or is he veiling the reality that it will be US mainland.

Give it a few years, I think, and there'll be more stuff on US mainland akin to 9-11. Though, likely, drones instead of planes. That's the real potential consequences that may emanate from this crazy military action.

 

Thanks for the link.
I would have clicked 'like' on your post @MeAgain but that could have been misconstrued.

 

Do you really not have any idea why neither the republicans nor the Democrats (interesting how the software automatically capitalized the one and not the other) have put any serious/effective effort into restraining him in this attack? “Qui bono?”

 

Oh, yes, I can suspect each party has a specific reason or a series of them for not standing up to this. I would have thought the Republicans would be more keen to reign him in so they don't risk being out of office for a long time. Not expecting them to do what's right for the Country so much as protecting their own interests.

 

It is not about dem/reps...........it is about you being a "worldpower"......................geopolitics*sigh*

Turns out Russia has been giving Iran targeting data on all US assets in the region.

That's probably why the base deep in Saudi Arabia with dozens of US aircraft there waiting for the war to begin was targeted at the very start of the war.. Supposedly the missiles/drones were all shot down?

The Iranians have also successfully hit at least two command posts killing those six soldiers they talk about.

And I heard the US just launched an ICBM from California. Supposedly unarmed...

 

Iran conflict- Africa military operations with 3 US soldiers killed- and now he is talking about Cuba.

He is out of control.

 

lol. They ARE protecting their own interests. So is trump. What one donor/group can make or break a politician’s chances of election/re-election? What one donor/group could brazenly cut short any politician’s career/life?

Can’t wait for some joker to chime in here and say they’re all being blackmailed by the Russians.

 

I suggest you misread my post. But on the Russia dimension, nope, I dont think Russian involvement is anything like social media seems to say.

 

Maybe. I thought you meant that it was in republicans’ (or for that matter Democrats - look it did it again - interesting) best interests, for their own electoral prospects, to rein in trump. I suggest it is not. Their donors and power brokers will punish them much more severely than their own voters if they don’t support whatever “our greatest ally” wants to do to Iran or any other country.

 

Party/national interest -v- self-interest.
The system should prevent a party (D or R) from being controlled by powerful groups.
(Lobbying is ok. Control by lobbyists not ok)

I thinks theres a few that could do that. Big businesses (arms, social media, others), big associations (NRA), some individuals.
