Some things are very simple to understand. Courage to act is one of them,,, but hard to do. It's pathetic seeing the weak leadership around the Western world.

No doubt. Amazing intelligence, makes the CIA look like Cub Scouts.

#2 Dude in IRGC eliminated.

Yeah, like decades of work down the drain. Definitely works for me. If the is the US losing, I can't wait to see what winning looks like.

Now you are talking Change!

Looks like quite an excellent ending.

Oh, that is rich. So Iran's powerful "negotiating position" is go right ahead and destroy all our military assets- we don't care! Right - that makes total sense.

Yes indeed - NATO has outlived its usefulness. It makes more sense for the USA to establish individual treaties with countries that share our values and vision. We will find an Israel here and there - a Poland and a Hungary. All good things come to an end.

You definitely hit the nail on the head Kid. Once Trumpy cuts the fraud in this country - looks like well over $100B each in CA and NY - he turns to infrastructure and other pressing concerns of Americans. No more fooling around with NATO, etc. Fix the Western Hemisphere and the USA. Maybe even build a huge wall on the Canadian Border! Promises made, Promises kept!

Iran could have been Dubai or the Emirates. Instead they chose to be Libya, Lebanon, Syria and export terrorism with their vast oil wealth. Let's hope Iran decides to come back into the world community and chose the Dubai route for the sake of their citizens.

The whole episode is a horrible tragedy, no doubt. Seeds have been sown for 50 years by the bully of the Middle East. Years & years of talk, then to top it off, a very foolish American President funds the terrorist with billions. The US shares a large part of the blame. The emboldened terrorist then decides to fuel Oct 7th - not realizing two new leaders actually have some courage and are unafraid. Now you have a nation in shambles that has been set back a decade regardless of regime change or not. So what's the risk/reward? I'd say $40B invested by the good guys to destroy, perhaps, $1T of assets built up over 30 years?? Probably close enough. Turning to rebuilding Iran. Stark choices here for the regime. Will the people stand by while you spend billions restarting your offensive capabilities, while they suffer??? We're going to find out in the next few days as the big debilitating strikes are coming. War is awful - but true leaders protect their countries - while weak leaders appease their enemies.

That's a good one Kid - Operation Epic Failure! Can't top it!

This will be a very positive development for Europe and the USA. With their backs against the wall, Europe will have to get serious now, when the USA exits.

Nice job on destroying some US hardware. All US personnel look to be safe. Give the USA a few more days, and then we skedaddle. Flip it over to Israel, Gulf States and Europe to see how they would like to handle. The 2 biggest casualties from the War: Iran & NATO. Good luck with that "Death to America" BS.

At this point, the most important thing to know - in the absence of Iran agreeing to Trump's ultimate on Monday - look for widespread destruction on Tuesday for Iran. Effectively, the US will be done, and most of Iran's military and weapons manufacturing capabilities will be finished. We'll enter a new phase of Iranian containment against a destroyed nation that will now have to somehow rebuild if the USA decides to let them export their oil... 1 - The war will effectively be over 2- NATO will be hanging together by a thread if it survives.

Retribution for the murder of 1200 Israeli men, women and children butchered like animals by Iranian proxies. Payback is a bitch. 24 hours left.

That's what I would expect when you've nothing serious to say. Your hatred of Trump never ends.

You have no idea what you are talking about. During the Falkland War, when the US had established good relations with Argentina - and it was CLEARLY against our interests - the US finally caved and provided massive logistical support to the UK. Why? We decided to be a good ally. Regarding Libya - The UK & France wanted Libya destroyed. The US had NO interest in Libya, as Gaddafi was powerless and not a threat to the US. However, the US acquiesced to France and the UK. Who did most of the bombing?? Obama flew 27,000 sorties for 7 straight months, destroying Libya on behalf of France & the UK. (Versus Iran with 10,000 sorties in 40 days) Serbia? Same thing. Key point: Falkland, Libya, Serbia - NOT OUR WARS, NOT IN NATO. And what does the USA ask in return for Iran?? Let us use OUR bases and your airspace for logistics and support. What ungrateful allies.

That's exactly what the Europeans did with Serbia, Libya and the Falklands - drag the US into wars that we're in NONE of our national interest. Why did that work?? Because the US was a true ally. Unlike Europe today - weak and scared out of their minds - unable and unwilling to pull their weight when an ally (the USA) needs it.

Yeah, it's real simple. Europe demands the USA come to the rescue of Ukraine - and throws a 5 years tantrum when it doesn't happen. The US comes and eliminate an enormous threat to Europe - a nuclear weapons Iran with ICBM's - and then Europe has a hissy fit when asked for assistance. The US ELIMINATES the nuclear threat with no help from our so-called allies. Time to exit NATO. We definitely can't count on Europe as allies. It is an alliance of convenience for the Europeans - all one way.

Your BS narrative totally ignores the fundamental truth @Viking - you are not kidding anyone. Iran has nuclear capabilities with weapons grade material. Iran has the ABILITY to reach Europe with ICBM's - and all the idiots in Europe WANTED to believe the opposite. Iran is a terrorist state that holds the world hostage, decade after decade. That is all that matters here. Stick your head in the sand... But now you come through with your psychoanalysis bullshit on Trump like so many other posters here - and it sounds dumb - ignoring the real fundamental problems -which is a weak Europe unwilling to upset their radical Muslim populations and siding with Iran - who are blackmailed by Iran and don't want to admit it. The Europeans are freeloaders on NATO - and that is NOT going to change for many, many years. Hopefully the US just gets out and starts over. We certainly do not need this one-sided relationship.

This is why the US needs to dump NATO once and for all. It's a "alliance of convenience" for Europe. Totally one sided and useless for the USA. They will use the alliance for wars they want, demanding involvement from the USA - but will never reciprocate. Such hypocrites. All the USA is to Europe is an armed force they can use and abuse - while they do nothing - and expect the USA to carry the load. They really fucked up this time - Americans see it.

There is no reason to "consult" Europe about anything. Europe demands the USA get involved in Ukraine, when they don't. They didn't "consult" Trump. France and the UK did not "consult" the USA before they decided to take out Libya. The UK did not "consult" the USA before they decided to take out Argentina in the Falklands. The USA did not want to be involved in the war in Serbia when NATO demanded it - and of course the USA carried much of the load. China gets their oil from Iran. The Europeans get their oil from the Arab Gulf States. If Europe wants their oil, they will need to make a sacrifice to get it. It's their problem now. The Arab states, Europe and Israel are huge winners in this deal with a nuclear Iran decimated. Of course, they won't admit it, because they can't afford to piss off their radical Muslim residents.

Spain, Italy, France, and the guy that can't make up his mind - the UK.
