For every silver lining, we must find a cloud!
That is, if you're the liberal media, and the Trump administration and Israel have pulled off audacious strikes on Iran, severely damaging its nuclear facilities and eliminating many of its top military leaders and nuclear scientists.
Thus it was that on Monday's Morning Joe, Katty Kay introduced a segment on the results of the strikes by proclaiming her intent was "not to throw cold water on any potential optimism" as to how there could be a moment for Israel to find peace with Saudi Arabia and in Gaza.
In a discussion with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, Kay then proceeded to cite a conversation with Karim Sadjadpour, an Iranian-American policy analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
According to Kay, Sadjadpour described several possible scenarios that:
"Could see Iran rushing for a nuclear weapon now, not doing what the Americans are asking and completely disbanding their nuclear program, but actually doing the opposite. And there is a potential that the strikes actually could precipitate a situation in which we're less safe, not more safe, with Iran."

The same old “don’t upset the bad guys” nonsense that we heard after 9/11.
Good point!
America’s outspoken Enemy Ignatius,
who works for Obama and Biden
lectured Kay, “You’re right to be cautionary.
There’s no sign of a breakthrough with Iran.”
He would “know”. But why?
msnbc wants Iran to have nuclear bombs so in their thinking we will all be safer.
The whole “Morning Joe” comedy show should move to Iran
Immediately
Just to be safe(r)
It’s called mental illness.
Until Iran hands over the HEU (highly enriched uranium) and the centrifuges you are not safe.
The U-235 for a bomb can be smuggled into DC and a bomb built in that city.
“Still has to be enriched further”
To go from 60% to 90%+ U-235 requires far less effort and fewer centrifuges than to go from .7% to 60% U-235.
“still has to be weaponized to go “super critical”, very very difficult to do.”
The testing to do that would have been done years ago.
If you live in DC and you chance of being vaporized goes from 1% per year to 2% per year, it really doesn’t matter much.
You need to make it 0% by ending the ceasefire and hunting down the leaders of Iran until they fork over the HEU and the centrifuges, or you need to pack up.
If you live in DC and your chance of being vaporized goes from 1% per year to 2% per year, it really doesn’t matter much.
Israel has its own reasons for having acted.
I believe Western Europe has been packing its cities with Muslims to serve as hostages against Iranian nuclear weapons power.
About half a century ago, whites were driven out of major American cities by the Fair Housing Act and blockbusting. Los Angeles and New York City are now mainly minority. A Muslim is likely to be the mayor of NYC in the future.
Two Western European powers, the UK and France have nuclear weapons and very capable arms industries.
If Muslims were to take power in the UK or France, it would put Israel at great risk as the UK and France are far more capable of hurting Israel than say Syria or Iran.
The real winners of the Israeli/Trump attacks are Western Europeans. They no longer have to fear a future Iran with hundreds of nuclear warheads.
I’ll tell you what’s really creepy - watching Morning Joe cover the children who died in the Texas flood. When liberals go over the edge they want to kill the children of Trump supporters. And out of basic decency - the liberal press should NOT cover mother’s crying or the dead bodies and belongings of these kids. We know they ‘get off’ on it and it’s sickening.

Here’s a liberal pediatrician’s comments - and there are many more on the internet.
“Chris Tina: “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. Kerr Country MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for ...”
“The U-235 for a bomb can be smuggled into DC and a bomb built in that city.”
As long as Trump is out of town when they set off the bomb it would be a vast improvement.
Unless Iran has another secret facility that the US and Israel are unaware of or supplier of weapons grade nuclear materials from abroad , Iran is not going to be rushing to much of anything with nuclear weapons .
Iran has spent decades and close to a trillion dollars building their nuclear weapons industrial base and the US and Israeli attacks have destroyed that infrastructure.
They have squandered the resources of a generation of the Iranian people in a futile quest to build an atomic bomb and to surround Israel with a terrorist network armed with Iranian manufactured missiles and weaponry.
Iran simply does not have the resources to rebuild their nuclear programs any time soon and most all of the most effective missiles they have manufactured and stockpiled have been destroyed along with the production facilities to make more.
The bottom line is that Iran has been in an irrational build up to start and fight a major war in the Middle East. They successfully started the war on October 7 and they have lost their war.
Hamas is gone and their stronghold in Gaza is destroyed.
Hezbollah is has been largely defeated , their leadership wiped out and most of their weapons and military infrastructure has been destroyed.
Assad has been overthrown in Syria, Iran's weapons supplies in Syria are destroyed and a Saudi backed , anti Iranian government is in place in Syria . Syria is no longer a conduit for Iranian weapons shipments to Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies in the region.
Russia has been ousted from Syria and much of the rest of the Middle East and China knows that any monkey wrenching on their part is going to shut down their vital oil supply from Iran and the Middle East
The Houthi Iranian proxy forces are pretty much destroyed as well, along with much of Yemen's scarce vital infrastructure so Yemen is going to be focused more on rebuilding than fighting Iranian proxy wars
Not bad for the first four months of President Trump's presidency.
The dirty games Iran, China and Russia have been playing in the region have backfired in spectacular fashion and are largely over with.
The Middle East is a totally different place than it was at this time last year.
Russia could have pressured it's client Iran to shut down it's war in the Middle East but instead Putin let the Ayatollahs put the pedal to metal to force the US to divert assets from the Ukraine to Israel and as a result Russia has a underwent a major defeat lost it's Syrian client Assad completely along with it's major bases and presence in the Middle East.
China has been playing the hidden hand and fomenting wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to weaken the US and distract from it's goals with Taiwan and other plans to dominate the Far East and that has kind of back fired on them as well.
Best of all, leaders of failing countries hare on notice that old rules where the US plays Missionaries of Progress to come in to overthrow corrupt regimes , throws in US troops to become the focus of the people's anger and get torn up by IEDs and then dumps trillions in NGO funding into their shit holes (with plenty of graft and corruption to make the leaders rich) to "stabilize" the country and transform it it into a model civic society George Washington would be prod of are over.
Now, the message to the worlds dictators has been sent - if you step out of line,we bomb you into the stone age, fly home and let you figure out how to rebuild the wreckage with sticks and stones.
It’s in their contract. Their opinion must be contrary to Trump’s or there’s no show.
Leftism is a disease that infects the mind and removes all rational thought.

Morning Joe, so co sistantly wrong that he’s set records.
