Hugh did say 19 Israeli citizens. It's not oppose to, it's part of.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

There is no defensive without attack. All these mindboggling numbers mean nothing but I guess Trump is thick.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

quote from a previous post by Hugh:

'In fact, the S&P 500 Futures market lost $550 billion in Market Capital in the the 25 minutes after Trump’s speech, and Global Stocks have lost over $14 Trillion since Trump started this war…'

Somewhere out there in the American wilderness will be someone who had it all and now has nothing . . . except a determination to use that rifle and ammo hidden under the stairs

Handy hint - it’s not an optimal tactic to let your enemies know your strategies and assets within a combat zone…

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

We used to call it 'bragging' about how clever you are . . I guess it's now something along the lines of 'telling the enemy how you do secret things'

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

I doubt Trump can spell "tactic" let alone use one - he probably thinks its a small mint.

US forces striking military targets on Kharg Island

As we've just reported, a US official has confirmed to CBS News that American forces conducted strikes on military targets on Iran's Kharg Island.

The US previously targeted the island in March, with President Trump saying military targets had been "totally obliterated".

Today, the unnamed official told CBS - the BBC's US news partner - that oil infrastructure was not targeted in the overnight attack.

Kharg Island is home to a major oil terminal that is considered Iran's economic lifeline. Trump has previously indicated that he may send troops to seize control of the island.
Quote:
US President Donald Trump has just posted on Truth Social, warning: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again".

He goes on:
"I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?

"We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!"

Vance says U.S. has "tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use" on Iran

Vice President JD Vance warned Tuesday that the U.S. has "tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use" against Iran, adding he was "hopeful" negotiations would avoid them being deployed.

"The United States States has largely accomplished its military objectives," Vance told reporters during a visit to Hungary, adding that "there's going to be a lot of negotiation between now and" when President Trump's deadline for Iran expires at 8 p.m. Eastern.

"They've got to know we've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use. The president of the United States can decide to use them, and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don't change their course of conduct," he added.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

I’m sure it’ll be another one of his TACO moments. No doubt they’ll be another deadline to be announced shortly. Another country and / or leader to insult etc etc etc. Another tariff or toll too. Getting rather boring and Predictable.

The man needs sectioning for sure.

Genocide, it would appear is absolutely fine so long as it’s a specific side threatening it.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

Has anyone heard from Putin lately, or is he still rolling about on the floor laughing his nuts off?

edit: Am I right in thinking 20:00 EDT is the same as midnight here in the UK?

I might stay up to watch the end of a Civilisation . . or another change of mind when his bluff is called
