Iran was caught off-guard. But Iran recovered more quickly from its Pearl Harbor moment than Israel expected.
In less than 18 hours after Israel’s surprise attack, Iran responded firing hundreds of ballistic missiles including hypersonic missiles into central Tel Aviv and across Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome failed. Israeli intelligence failed. Now Netanyahu is pleading with Washington to intervene with American Military Power to rescue Israel from certain defeat; a defeat Netanyahu crafted with encouragement from Washington.
At the same time, Russia, China, Pakistan and most of the Muslim World are rallying to Iran’s defense.
Supplies, equipment and technical assistance are pouring into Iran.
It’s time for a reality check:
Washington burned through $12 trillion in the Middle East since 2003. Result? 7,000 dead Americans. 50,000 wounded, open borders and 100,000 Americans dying yearly from Fentanyl poisoning.
Today, the United States is $37 trillion in debt, a sum that does not include so-called “agency debt.” 77 million Americans voted for President Trump because he promised to end the overseas conflicts and halt the march to WW3.
Trump’s mandate is unchanged: Secure America’s borders, ports and coastal waters. Deport illegal aliens, crush the criminals r-ping and murdering Americans. Restore the rule of law. But not one more drop of American blood for foreign wars.
One Israeli strike on Kharg Island—where 90% of Iran's oil exports flow—or Bandar Abbas terminals, and Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of global oil supply.
That means disrupted supply chains and runaway inflation. Gas hits $7/gallon overnight. Every working family crushed. Truckers can't deliver food. Economy crashes. For what? So Israel that started this insane war can drag Americans into a regional conflict with the potential for nuclear war?
We have 40,000 troops in UAE, Qatar, across the Persian Gulf. They are sitting ducks.

This McGregor assessment is impressively wrong.
Very entertaining.
MacGregory. Col.Davis. Doom sayers.
I’ve read no other report that agrees with anything the author of this article says.
Amazing how completely the islamist supporters are completely ignoring the fact that iran’s nuclear sites and other military targets are being decimated.
And this was not *pre-emptive*. It’s been in the works for years for their very survival since iran has been behind most of the terror groups who are perpetrating evil against Israel, like Oct 7.
Open borders?
This loon complains our money spent in the Middle East caused our open borders?
And equally absurd, our fentanyl crisis ?!?
Good grief.
It’ll all be over by Juneteenth!
Russia is rallying to Irans defense?
Isn’t Russia otherwise engaged in the Ukraine ?
From Amir:
“A direct missile strike in Bat Yam has resulted in a mass casualty event. Wolfson Medical Center has issued an emergency directive, declaring it is operating in “emergency mode” and is unable to receive walk-in patients except in life-threatening cases, due to overwhelming congestion. At least 60 injured individuals have been evacuated to Wolfson, while 25 others, including an infant, have been taken to Ichilov Hospital.
The attack caused a structural collapse, with three confirmed fatalities, including a child. According to the IDF Home Front Command, an estimated 35 individuals remain unaccounted for under the debris. Emergency responders are conducting search-and-rescue operations at the site.
Authorities are urging the public to avoid hospital visits unless necessary, as emergency infrastructure is under strain.”

Iran just gave Israel complete justification for escalation.
While Israel was very specifically targeting sites and people, your hearos and sponsors (iran) wholesale kills civilians, including one whole Arab family.
Why is Bibi demanding his American cannon fodder NOW? If Israel is in control why does Bibi need American boys to “destroy Iranian nuclear facilities” unless he whiffed on his attacks? You know that BS reason Bibi is using to drag us into this, the Iranian nuke in two weeks? You’d best be hoping it is BS. Bibi should have trotted out his old “yellow cake” lie to send American boys to their doom. “Yellow cake” just sounds spooky.
Wars can be unpredictable. What people think just before they begin and in the early days of wars has often been wildly wrong.
Me, I’m not predicting how this one will end up, whether or how it might spread to include more belligerents, what repercussions might be felt here and in other countries, or anything else.
The only one I felt comfortable predicting was Libya, and sadly turned out to be right on that one. I would far rather have been wrong.
Is this the guy Tucker used to have on all the time? He seemed kind of wacko like Tucker has become.
Did that Armstrong kook have an opinion too? Why is this shit allowed?
I totally agree on the Tucker thing...and Candace Owen??
**Is this the guy Tucker used to have on all the time? He seemed kind of wacko like Tucker has become.**
Everything had to do with our mistakes in Ukraine. Now he switches to Iran-same theme. Reminds me of Greta.
>> Iran was caught off-guard.
Oh yeah, right, sure.
Up yours, and to your Scottish friend, “Get it up ye!” both.
My Gawd I’m fed up with all you Jew haters. And that goes for phTucker too.
“ Meanwhile, Israel’s Iron Dome failed. Israeli intelligence failed. Now Netanyahu is pleading with Washington to intervene with American Military Power to rescue Israel from certain defeat; a defeat Netanyahu crafted with encouragement from Washington.”
***************************************************
RIDICULOUS and so unbelievable it’s almost SILLY.
>> Why is this shit allowed?
You mean, “Why is this shitferbrains hardspunned allowed to post”?
For comic value, I guess. We all need the relief of an honest-to-goodness misguided buffoon now and then. I think I’d almost miss him if he were given the Viking Kitties treatment.
Libya happened because of a foolish reaction to Iraq.
