Got it Tokyo Rose - for all those Iranians hanging from cranes for criticizing their government and not wearing their burkas - I apologize for my lack of empathy.

I think you missed the point, but that's ok @John Hjorth. If I told you that the NAZI's marched into Denmark for the purposes of keeping peace all the while murdering the Danish resistance - I doubt you would be silent on the re-write/white wash of history. It's quite comical to read @ourkid8's comments on the peaceful, loving and caring Iranian Regime. On a debate board, there is no reason to whitewash history and then listen to it, just for purposes of "politeness". It serves no purpose in getting to the truth.

Baghdad Bob used the same approach: factual, unemotional, defiant, surreal - all the while Iran was being destroyed right behind him. He was very entertaining to say the least!

My mistake, I thought it was self evident that I was talking about the regime that @ourkid8 seems to adore. Those scumbags that have the right to "self defense" - yet have destroyed nations like Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, etc. They are definitely getting what they deserve and the world will be much safer. You can thank Trump & Israel later!

Of course they have a right to defend themselves. They sure look pathetic. But they are getting what they deserve.

Good to see Baghdad Bob survived.

Again - Iran can not defend itself. They are not in control of their destiny in regards to being a world or Mid East power anymore. If the regime is intact - it will be the citizens of Iran that lose badly. It certainly won't be Israel, US or the neighbors. They won't be exporting any oil if the US Navy does not allow it. When they threaten their neighbors- it will be bombs away. They have no defense, except terrorism. Iran has all the time in the world, the US & Israel have all the munitions that IRGC can only imagine. Most frustrating for them: they can't touch us.

Bummer... Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island. Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision. During my First Term, and currently, I rebuilt our Military into the Most Lethal, Powerful, and Effective Force, by far, anywhere in the World. Iran has NO ability to defend anything that we want to attack — There is nothing they can do about it! Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the ability to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East or, for that matter, the World! Iran’s Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Now that Trump hit Kharg Island, I guess Iran has real trouble. Where does the money come from now when 90% of your oil flows through Kharg? But I guess that mean that Iran is "winning"!

Poor Jeanine - has to deal with the rigged system in the DC swamp. I admire her tenacity in the face of corrupt ass-holes like Judge Boasberg. She definitely has guts.

Read the article. It's stunningly stupid. Almost unbelievable. Not knowing Dutch politics - will it pass?

On this board, the vote is known. Fortunately Americans have the vote that counts.

Huh? How does the "regime" win when they can not defend themselves, let alone conduct offensive operations? No ability to knock down missiles, no Air Force, no Navy, offensive missiles gone, drone & missile manufacturing destroyed, top levels of Military dead, top levels of government dead, proxies in ruins. Oh, and I forgot the most important thing: nuclear capabilities set back years or perhaps decades. Only to be reminded: To surviving regime - should we see ANY more nuclear or military activities - you have a taste of what you are in for - look what we have done to you in 12 days. There is more where that came from. And if we wish - we will embargo ANY oil exports at ANY time, for as long as we like. To say that they have a chance to win - somehow you have to define winning. And it's not survival of the Regime - that is no longer a military or nuclear threat to the world. The only way these guys "win" is if a Biden-type idiot is re-elected in 2028 - and that's the ONLY way they win. But, alas, then they need to deal with Israel.

You're very fortunate to live in a very wealthy country with 6M residents. It's vastly different when you have 330M and then try and absorb 20-30M impoverished and unvetted illegal immigrants. The USA made a huge mistake - but it will be corrected - and we will refocus on our citizens - as it should be.

Imagine a nuclear neutered Iran - that neighbors need not fear anymore. And US deterrence is restored, after years of weakness under Biden/Obama. Some countries may actually start to feel safe again. Certainly, for Israel, it is worth the risk - but for the majority of the Middle East - it's unspoken, but highly desired. We are likely will see a renewed and expanded Abraham Accords - which of course, is why all this was started by Iran/Hamas a couple years ago. Iran & proxies have been massive losers in this fight, mainly by Israel, but assisted by the USA. It certainly looks like it's coming - as now it's a game of whack-a-mole - where NO military or army can conduct any kind of campaign against Israel or the West - except terrorism activities. I don't expect that to change, but when they are instantly wiped out in the process - the methodical degradation of their capabilities is gone. Much like the NAZI's or the fanatical Japanese - these guys are headed for a TOTAL humiliation. Israel/Trump called their bluff and we know who is going to win. You can characterize it as a "moderate" success, when in reality it is a stunning military success. The message it sends to China, Russian and remaining proxies is crucial. The military might was always unmistakable, the willing to use it was always in doubt. And losers like Biden/Obama put that doubt in the minds of our enemies. THAT is the greatness of Trump. He has left NO doubt that he means what he says.

That's exactly what it comes down to --- no political power -- rejected by the public --- so all you can do is bitch, bitch, bitch.

This works both ways. Russia gets massive amounts of drones from Iran. Not so many going forward with the destruction of Iranian drone factories. If you are Iranian or Venezuelan with Russia anti-aircraft defenses that have been totally obliterated by the combo US/Iran onslaught - you are very nervous if you've been a buyer of Russian (obsolete/useless) defenses. Imagine what the Kremlin is thinking now - shit - good thing we have nukes - cause we're screwed. The biggest thing this war has shown is how behind the Chinese & Russian militaries are in comparison to the USA/Israel air forces. They are absolutely pathetic, and now everyone knows it.

Save room for me down there! Every time I go to Florida - everyone is happy!

Didn't mean to hurt your feeling Comrade. What "intellectual discussion" were you aiming for when you labeled MAGA Trump supporters "delusional"?? Is that the extent of your intellectual argument? LOL

Please, don't feel sorry for us. We deserve Trump. And you deserve China Carney.

Haha - John - one of those American slang or idioms describing utter incompetence or weakness. I guess it translates well! Go for it.

Lead by example Denmark.

Oh my gosh dude - you are really delusional. Another "America is losing the war" talking head. You sound like CNN. All in all, our so called "allies" are totally worthless with the exception of Israel. France, UK, Spain, Germany - totally pathetic. That group could not fight their way out of a paper bag. Tragic. And certainly, the Board of Peace takes the place of a totally nickel & dime and corrupt United Nations.

John - I'm pulling for you in every possible way.

There you go! On that score, Trump gets an A+ no matter how much you don't like him. We've never seen anything like this success in 1 year. Unfortunately, it makes many of the Globalists look totally inept in front of their own citizens. And they certainly ARE inept. Here's a great read on what a mess Germany is: https://amgreatness.com/2026/03/10/the-global-elites-lose-again/ I find it shocking as I always viewed Germany as an economic powerhouse that was the envy of many countries (including the USA) for years.
