“Of course, you know this means war.” That’s a line that both Groucho Marx and Bugs Bunny uttered, cementing it into the American consciousness. When they said those words, it was funny. When you watch America withdraw all non-essential people from the Middle East, Israel warn Hezbollah “hands off or we wipe out Lebanon,” and pizza sales spike in D.C., it’s not funny at all.
Instead, it’s a reminder that the West is at a now-or-never moment in dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions. My current sense is that Israel cannot wait any longer to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities (given that Iran has been unambiguous that it intends to use a nuclear arsenal to erase Israel from the map), and that the United States is just getting out of the way.
Since taking office, Trump has told Israel not to act against Iran. He did so because he was confident that he could force Iran into a nuclear deal. Doing so would remove the risk of having the apocalyptic mullahs suddenly armed with a nuclear weapon that would allow them to trigger the End of Days they believe are a necessary predicate to the coming of the Mahdi. (Christians who believe in a coming apocalypse try to prepare themselves practically and spiritually. The mullahs belong to an extremist sect that believes it is their obligation to trigger the apocalypse.)
However, the deadline Trump set for negotiations is over, and reports are that the mullahs are days from going nuclear. Meanwhile, Israel has a diminishing window of time within which to benefit from their having destroyed Iran’s air defenses (assuming that the window hasn’t already closed). Given that Iran has been explicit about its desire to destroy Israel, Israel has...

Two possible pizza events? They are getting ready for a big parade.
Iran really wishes Kamala had won.
Why order pizza 3 days before the parade on Saturday?
I agree that Europe has become stupid. But to be fair, probably Europe's only hope for a natural gas and oil pipeline to compete with depending on Russian gas is if it comes through one of the "Death to Israel!!" nations. So Europe has a vested reason to every now and then do the antisemite stuff unless they want to forever be in Russia's energy grip.
First of all, there is no political or military entity called "the West".
When neocon warmongers speak about "the West", they mean American farmboys from the South and the Midwest, and urban dwellers looking for improved chances in life. And, oh yeah, the American taxpayer.
I voted for Trump because I thought he wouldn’t get the USA involved in overseas wars. The USA has no business going to war with Iran. Let Israel fight against Iran—they are more than capable of doing it.
Plenty of other countries over there to take them on. We’ve got enough BS to deal with here, including insurrections by marauding mobs, and RAT politicians urging them on. Also Islamic terrorists, including Iranians that Biden allowed in.
It’s not that they will side with Iran. They will take the knee and capitulate to them because they’re a bunch of gutless wonders.
I want that pizza franchise near the Pentagon....
It must print money
A friend co-owns a pizza place near a major defense manufacturer’s HQ (not in DC). That one campus alone spends $90K on pizzas from them every month - for meetings, overtime, company lunches, etc...And its even more around Holidays.
I agree with you, but I think that is Trump's plan. USA won't be publicly involved (wink-wink), Israel will do the hard/dirty work, and when the nuclear dust settles, Trump will be in public calling for peace, etc...
So does Putin...lol
I would think the U. S. will avoid participating in a war with Iran. At least initially.
Tough to tell how it ends though.
Depends if Oran choses to attack is, which would be monumental stupid.
But we are their golems, so obligated to fight when ordered.
If there’s a draft, Canada gets a lotta young American males.
They won’t fight another futile, senseless war for globohomo.
I saw that Tweet the other night and posted it here.
The American Stinker is at it again...
GIGO rules...
That would be Iran’s choice to attack us. The keep us out of it, I think we would stay out of it.
