BS article. Trump said the war was basically over already.
Here’s a hanky
Where are these missiles coming from? Surely they can find out and eradicate them.
Give Kazan a tampon instead.
Is that sarcasm?
The war is nowhere from over. Trump needs a vacation and have Vance run the country for a long period of time.
We could have waited for New York to be nuked.
Which wouldn’t be ALL bad. But pretty bad. Then we could have attacked. Later.
RE: Soaring.
Oh,
the
humanity.
“While many are celebrating Khamenei replacing Khamenei“
Well that’s ridiculous for starters.
There are still ones around personally autographed by Tim Walz.

Reflection and humility are regarded as unpatriotic at the moment. Nearly everyone here is for war and more war and laying waste to civilizations. Prices are going to skyrocket for sure and it’s not just the gas in your car-it’s anything that gets moved on a road, railway or ocean.
And food prices will spike dramatically and soon. People overlook that most fertilizers—especially nitrogen-based, are basically a solid form of LNG and depend on natural gas as a precursor via the Haber-Bosch process: Natural gas → hydrogen and Hydrogen + nitrogen → ammonia → fertilizers. So the very ability of the world to grow food is highly dependent on the the gulf states to ship fertilizer through the Hormuz. (Which they can’t as long as they’re hosting US military bases).
Nuked with what. We were told last June all their capabilities were destroyed.
Trump is doing great. Keep up the good work. First one with guts to stop the Persian Gulf Pirates.
What else is Trump going to say?
Not everyone. You see as much as I do like Trump my default position for most announcements coming out of D.C. is “The government lies.” The lies are not necessarily malicious, more often than not they are rooted in protectionism. Sort of “It’s for their own good.” outlook on informing us plebes. This is especially true in matters of warfare.
I kind of enjoy Islamic states no longer taking in money for their fossil fuels. The fun part is it is another Islamic state that did them wrong! Somewhere in Hell Mad Moe is disappointed they are blowing his evil religion up!
Go cry on putin’s shoulder ... you’d do better to worry about putting russia first ... and ending your misbegotten invasion of your neighbor.
