Simon Tisdall, The Guardian: Trump has fallen slap bang into the trap laid for him by Netanyahu. His reckless gamble makes a nuclear weapon for Iran more, not less, likely -- bombing will not make Iran go away.

That's Nuttyahoo's end game. FORCE the US to invade Iran.

Trump is stupid enough to fall for it. MAGAts are stupid enough to support it.

MAGAts are on their knees for Israel slurping away so expect the offical message to change in the next weeks or months from "We stopped them" to "We have to do more to stop them!" Rubio was already on TV this morning walking back the "We stopped them" message and Israel "suddenly" has new intelligence on where the Uranium was moved to.

No doubt the uranium was moved under hospitals, schools, and residential areas, right Israel? Right MAGAts?

BTW, Rubio said on TV today how close Iran was to a nuclear bomb isn't important. The intelligence doesn't matter. Why? Because we know they weren't close. They are trying to pre-empt the negative Iraq comparisons.

An interesting question to ask --- would Israel and the United States have started a war with Iran, if Iran had a nuclear bomb?

Now answer that from Iran's point of view.

Posing an interesting question, where exactly would they invade from?

Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan and from overwater from Saudi Arabia.

Yup.

I would be surprised if the DoD did not have a plan already in place.

Meanwhile Sec Hegseth may be still trying to find his new make-up room he had installed in the Pentagon.

Turkey wouldn't let them stage into Iraq. Iraq is Iran's buddy now. Pakistan is a bunch of Ferengi highway bandits, and an amphibious invasion would be silly.

No need to invade anyway, just keep bombing them forever. Good training, and good for the GDP.

Trump wants a war. Any war, anywhere. Being on a war footing will allow all sorts of dictatorship stuff in the US, from suspending rights to having the military and Trumps mercenaries on the streets of the country, pillaging. All those children of MAGA hat fools will be exempt from military service while dark skinned men and those with liberal leanings will be sent off to be slaughtered. It will be very, very bad ...

It would be in Iran's best interest to build as many nukes as they can as quickly as possible.

Nobody is bombing North Korea.

Just review our attempts at regime change in Iran...look at how we replaced a democratically elected leader with the murderous dictator, the Shah of Iran. And then he was tossed out by the people and they were left with theocratic government.

Longtime Democrat and Kamala Harris supporter Jamie Metzl has publicly praised President Donald Trumpf's attack on Iran, calling it bold and even claiming that the former vice president wouldn't have taken such a step.

Metzl, who served on the National Security Council under former president Bill Clinton and was a senior aide to then-Senator Joe Biden, has a deep history with the Democratic Party and is known for his criticism of Trumpf.

His unexpected endorsement of Trumpf's action is now making waves across political and social media circles.

Jamie Metzl appears occasionally on Joe Rogaine's podcast and his father is an Austrian-born Holocaust survivor.

When the Democratic Party puts the hardworking American taxpayer ahead of the Israeli citizen, they may start getting the antiwar samaritans and progressives they lost on 5 Nov 2024 back. Maybe.

Lol. Just like liberal logic trying to convince the country that saving money doesn't actually help anything.

Partisan politics has so many people dumbing themselves down just because of vanity and ego. Even knowing this, so many of you still blindly follow along because having people agree with your opinion is more important to you than actually being logical and critically thinking. In fact, using your OWN logic from this article, I am correct in saying that regardless if bombing was the right move, I can tell you that including ridiculous conclusions based on partisan hate and not on reality and facts is only causing more people to leave the liberal party. In other words, illogical liberal hate will not make Republicans go away, it will only make it easier for the Republican party to grow. So you are using the same tactics as Trump is using against Iran based on your own logic.

Once again, what is the Dem solution to the Iran problem besides "not what Trump did". Their lack of solutions and policy is why they got shellacked in November and their approval ratings are in the mid 20s. And they are so stupid they can't learn from it. Oh wait, they announced a $20 million study on how to relate to men. Makes sense since their current members are in therapy and long to breast feed.
