The press mainly seems to follow the “father of lies” and “the greatest deceiver”.

Democrats have always lied to Israel. How can Jews trust them.

Obama won the Iran game as it currently appears. Now, maybe we can get the Black Genie back into his DEI Bottle and go away. Obama’s achieved his greatest victory with this Iran debacle.

Last night everyone on FR was chest thumping about that Russian oil tanker damaged. This morning it was peddled by Iran that this was done to bottle up the US Fleet.

In a chess game one makes a move. Trump has been running out the clock’s everywhere since coming into office.

Trump was left with a world on fire... and those working against his presidency are lighting the fuses.

Ukraine is going to lose.

Iran still might survive.

No one ever thinks about consequences when they are in power.

The DNC never thought Trump could survive to election day or get back into the Oval Office. The lawfare is now being turned against them in an ever so gentle slow manner taking only DNC low hanging fruits and yet they are willing to destory the world to save their corrupt political ties, on both sides of the isle, on both sides of the oceans.

Trump needs to use this opportunity to let the west take it on the chin, save Israel, dump the socialist EU/Ukrainian enemies of MAGA and get on with governance.

Trump must step back and let Rubio do his diplomacy job; Trump in the spotlight makes every move CHECKMATE or NEGATIVE HEADLINES.

Trump is not Zelinski, he must step back out of the spotlight and make decisions, not have his mouth and actions become unintended decisions make for him because he is not working thru the State Department.

We have a fleet bottled up. No one saw that coming. Now the world’s on fire and Trump is cornered. Had he used his diplomates instead of being a media whore he could actually have some impact with a threat... After that Surrender or Else Headline, I’m afraid Trump has been played by himself.

“Democrats have always lied to Israel. How can Jews trust them.”

The ones that do are talented at lying to themselves.

A Rhodes assistant named Ned Price filled in the details. Among the reporters, Price explained, he and Rhodes had their favorites, their “compadres.” When Price shied from naming names, the observant Samuels shared his list of likely suspects. It included several “prominent Washington reporters and columnists who often tweet in sync with White House messaging.”
And they are?

I remember this at the time. It was a deal designed to claim they had done something without measures in place to confirm that any of it was actually done. And it also basically said "you can have a bomb in ten years."

That's why we are where we are today.

I think it would be appropriate to strap the evil bastard halfrican Obama to a bunker buster as it is dropped on the Iranian nuke enrichment site a’la Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove.

Are you saying that we can't get a fleet through there because of a single tanker?

From Wikipedia

To reduce the risk of collision, ships moving through the Strait follow a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS): inbound ships use one lane, outbound ships another, each lane being two miles wide. The lanes are separated by a two-mile-wide "median".

To traverse the Strait, ships pass through the territorial waters of Iran and Oman under the transit passage provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.[8] Although not all countries have ratified the convention,[9] most countries, including the U.S.,[10] accept these customary navigation rules as codified in the convention.

To my knowledge, the US never ratified the Convention, making that "customary navigation rules" language State Department hooey.

Altho Barack Obama is not necessarily politically active anymore, it seems like that name keeps coming up as being the cause of ongoing problems. The one mentioned here is not the ONLY one in my opinion.

I always wondered why Obama was heck-bent on getting that deal with Iran. I know some bought that it was a peace deal of some sort, but that was just his claim. Its only real justification was that it was an agreement - as opposed to no agreement.

A real head-scratcher.

You said “the fleet”. What fleet are you talking about? Civilian? Military?
