A New Rationale For Bombing Iran Was Put Out Today
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
@Acyn Rubio: I’ve been asked: why now? One reason why is it was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against the United States. If we stood and waited for that attack to come first, before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces..

The US just committed a sneak attack on another nation.
You mean that The Big Satan, the one many Iranians chant "Death to America" about, has attacked the sponsor, arms suppliier, funder and trainer of its lovely peaceful innocent Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthie Jew-killing proxies?
KUWAIT?
I heard they repelled it by downing three ( 3 ) F-15E USAF jets.
Our 6 of the aircrews ejected safely, landing in friendly territory. /s
Current tally, 6 Americans and three F-15s dead.
The combined US and Israeli intelligence agencies had been tracking the Supreme Leader's movements. When they learned the time and place the Ayatollah was going to be "in plain sight" so to speak, Israel said they were going to attack and kill him. We immediately joined in under the theory that Iran would strike out at us once Israel killed the Supreme Leader.
It took 3 days for the Trump administration to spit this out.
This the thing for me. I’m not against us being tough on Iran, but this whole thing comes off as the random whim of crazy people. They can’t even articulate a clear and consistent reason for going to war. Therefore, they also can’t articulate a clear and consistent mission or strategy.
The bottom line is Trump doesn't care about anything but flexing his personal power and making money. Nothing will make sense until we all realize that.
Israel and Saudi Arabia both asked Trump to surprise Iran.
Saudi Arabi just asked permission to join the attack on Iran.
WTF?
I mean, it’s not like it was a surprise. You don’t exactly sneak up on someone with not one, but two, carrier strike groups. Not to mention Trump threatening to do it over and over for days beforehand. Surprise was never going to be relevant in this conflict - except maybe for people who might be subject to retaliation or caught in the crossfire.
Just today, our government warned Americans to leave the Middle East. Like, no shit, really?
Remember all of the hair on fire conservative Biden Bashing about leaving behind ex pats and loyal Afghans to their own means,
mostly people who would not leave anyway?
Not one peep yet about all of the Americans and Europeans put in harms way throughout the ME and still stranded there with all the air traffic suspended.
I believe the Trump admin put out warnings weeks ago for Americans to leave certain parts of the ME. If they didn't, that is on them.
In Afghanistan, no warning was given and it took private entities to evacuate Americans
There were an estimated 200 Americans left behind after the Afghanistan fiasco, but approximately 100,000 Afghanis were evacuated, mostly to the US. Seems like the US prioritized non citizens, some of whom have been proven to be terrorists, over American citizens.
Seems to be a pattern, even to today, [Deleted.][✘]
“Nothing will make sense…”
The entire trump regime’s mantra.
How anyone, anywhere, at anytime can expect this carnival of a cabal to ably prosecute a self-inflicted war is beyond comprehension.
Chief, we have been over this dozens of times. I posted the warnings many times prior to and after August.
The embassy was telling people in April to leave and not to come to Afghanistan.

Americans are a stubborn bunch, no one, especially their own government can tell them what to do and many chose to stay thinking things would "be OK", then they weren't.
opinions do vary.
Well we could make a list of patterns by which party controlled the White House and it would be pointless finger pointing
You know, like Saigon, Gerald Ford.
Beirut, Ronald Reagan
Black Hawk Down, George Bush.
WMD, The other Bush
But go ahead and keep your selective poutrage, it speaks volumes.
The bombs fell on Saturday morning. There was a negotiation meeting scheduled for Monday.
I don't know if the Supreme Leader was thinking of Israel when he planned his breakfast Saturday morning, but it seems he wasn't expecting an American attack.
Shades of Japan, I thought the same thing Thursday when the news was that the Iranian Ambassador appealed to Trump's vanity
by offering a new treaty with a lower nuclear target than Obama
and they apparently appealed to his pocket book as well, offering sweetheart deals on Iranian oil, natural gas and rare earth.
His response was basically a Pearl harbor like move, killing the whole heads of the Iranian Government at a breakfast meeting Saturday morning.
That's a lie. Timeline for withdrawal from Afghanistan was made during Trump's 1st term.
So, the sum of your perspective is “whatabout Afghanistan?” Great. You’re so invested in being partisan that you’d rather rail against Democrats for shit that happened in the past than face what is happening right now.
Kash patel just fired all of the FbI agents in CI-12 who were remotely involved in the Mara Lago seizure of classified documents.
They also happen to be the tip of the spear for counter intelligence in Iran.
Patel's response? More layoff are coming in that unit.
He is the Top Keystone Cop
The Cabinet Secretary of the Mile High Club, just fired the Cybersecurity Czar last Thursday, a former SD lover she named as head of computer information for SD.
He failed an authorized DHS cyber security lie detector last July...
So whether he was good or not, Iran just happens to be masters of the universe in cyber crimes.
Now there's no one in that post 4 days into the attacks on IRAN.
The whole cybersecurity apparatus was thrown into disarray last year when General Timothy Haugh was fired. It seems that the administration is actively helping foreign adversaries.
