Lewzer Rages Over No-Bliteration

Who could have imagined that sticking a reality show guy with 34 felony fraud convictions in the Oval Office would result in him putting on a bogus show that accomplished nothing?

The HORRIBLE Truth About Iran the West Doesn't Understand - Matthew Syed

What is this guy droning on about? This is all the same propaganda we heard during the Reagan Administration.

It's this thing called history; Iran's people are some of the most welcoming in the world... their leadership is a nationalistic, fundamentalist, violent authoritarian Dictatorship/martyr cult... sorta like ours is becoming.

There's no sane country, even their allies in the area, who really want them to have a nuke, because odds are they will use it.

Which doesn't mean that Israel shouldn't be bunker bombed for what they are doing in Gaza.

No good guys in the leadership in either nation.

Not buying it. Iran very much understands the concept of proportional response. That video claims in the first few seconds that Iran won't understand MAD.

No question. They do. They're not going to first strike with a nuke.

What Iran having a nuke WILL do is deter the zionist entity.

Listen to your triangulation nonsense.
Does anybody want anybody else to have a nuke?
No. End of talking point.

Why one wants Iran to have nukes.

non-partisan think tank.... just the Executive Summary, um, sums up the problem of heavily politically indoctrinated wannabe martyr warriors with nukes.

It would be like giving MAGA nukes.... oh, wait...

"What's that? Are you suggesting that it would be a bad idea for Iran, a nation that sponsors suicide attacks targeting civilians (Iran and state-sponsored terrorism en.wikipedia.org) and is run by a messianic apocalyptic cult which has put up a countdown clock to the 2040 destruction of Israel prophesied by one of their Ayatollah Asa-Whollahs, to acquire nuclear weapons? What a strange thought!"

Have you taken a look at who's running National Security for Israel?

It's a heavily politically indoctrinated wannabe martyr warrior with nukes.

It's not a What About Israel thing... as I noted above, they deserve (more accurate) bunker bombs dropped on them for what they have done and are doing right now in Gaza.

But I'm glad you agree that there are no good guys in this fight.

I hate in when we quarrel; it upsets the children!

#18 | Posted by Corky at 2025-06-26 03:46 PM

There are good guys in this fight.

The good guys are the civilians, 97% Palestinians, getting murdered by the bad guys.

"It's not a What About Israel thing."

It's a Both Sides thing.

If Israel had nukes and Iran had nukes, the conflict would look very different.

#20 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-06-26 03:51 PM

No good leaders, as I also mentioned above... in #7. Easy to find with Flag trifecta.

The people of the nations themselves are, except for Settlers and Jihadists, mostly are a kind and considerate people, from my experience.

Only the uneducated fools believe in that martyrdom crap. Iranian leaders don't actually want to die any more than Trump or Putin does.

#23 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-06-26 03:58 PM

In other words, the Iranians are just as hypocritical as the Republicans.

Vlad is a billionaire with palaces and a newish young wife, and not at all stupid or suicidal. Trump may be both, but he's more incompetent and danger to his own country.

Iranian leaders have for the last few decades trained dedicated warrior martyrs to do exactly that on command:

Thus, the aforementioned Iranian Doomsday clock (en.wikipedia.org) set to give Israel a delightful buzz 15 short years from now. It came to Ayatollah Asa-Whollah in a dream, and the Iranians are just developing nukes so the Jews don't make Allah into a liar by not spontaneously combusting.

Trump is just weak. He does everything he can that he thinks makes him look tough, but in reality it's just the opposite. That's why he lashes out all the time. Because he's a wuss. He also has a low IQ.

'flop"........BWAAAAA..

"you people" didn't get the official memo
for today's required rhetoric from the DNC to say that trump has started ww3.

Let's see ... .Iran's nuclear ambitions appear to have been set back years. One single strike. No US casualties. No loss of US planes. Very few if any Iranians killed in the strike. Approximately $1 trillion in Iranian nuclear equipment destroyed. Hamas and Hezbolah on life support. Iran seriously weakened on the global stage. Russia and China choosing not to assist Iran. War over in 12 days with a cease fire in place.

All of that is a "humiliating flop"?

No one sane has said that.

For the simple reason that there is no proof.

Laura's right: you're a dishonest hack.

Why is that alright with you?

Doesn't bother you at all?

I guess not.

Plenty have said that. The plenty of analyses show it. It's not a 100% assessment but appears very likely.

TRUMP WARNED IRAN HE WAS GOING TO HIT THEM

I'm confused as to why this act of treacherous immaturity doesn't have more effect on you people?

No, take that back. I can explain you people exactly as well as I can Trump and I know everything there is to know about him.

Grumpy said it was "obliterated!!"

That's all you need to know. Y'all have no right to ask for details.

The Mad King has spoken.

Now stop questioning his authority.

#44 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-06-27 02:06 PM

Zed,

The probl m is you see everything through a Trump prism. If Trump is even remotely involved it has to be 100% horrible from your POV. I will call out Trump when he gets something wrong. For example, I've been extremely critical of Trump's tariffs and how they've been rolled out.

I've chosen my words regarding this strike carefully. I have t used absolute definitives. It's difficult to 100% accurately assess the extent of the damages on a facility that is 30 stories below ground. Having said that, these munitions are designed for just such a target and they were delivered with precision.

#45 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-06-27 05:13 PM

"If Trump is even remotely involved it has to be 100% horrible from your POV. "

The true number is more like 98%.
I recall him doing one to two good things a year.
Though I can't think of any good things in Act Two, yet.

How does Iran expelling the IAEA inspectors hinder or aid in Iran's attempt to build nuclear bombs?

#48 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-06-27 05:28 PM

Where is Iran's stockpile of 60% refined uranium?

How many bombs could they make with that uranium?

How many centrifuges does Iran still have?

#49 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-06-27 05:28 PM

"Iran's nuclear ambitions appear to have been set back years."

How many years? A half?

On 24 June The New York Times and CNN reported that a preliminary battle damage assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency had concluded with low confidence that the U.S. strikes had set back Iran's nuclear program by a matter of months.

This war with Iran was just the distraction Trump needed in order for the Supreme Court to kill checks and balances set up by the founders of this nation in order to prevent any branch of government from exceeding its authority.

Keep worrying about uranium in Iran. It's absolutely crucial to know just how much they have and at what % it is.
