Thank you for making us wiser about this debacle.

I just hope that the rest of the world understands that many of us are not stupid nor ignorant and are shaking our heads with frustration!

Is it possible that Iran has been weakened more than we thought by Israeli bombings and attacks on Hezbollah? (I realize that Iran most likely moved its enhanced uranium and possibly some of its conductors out of harm’s way, and also that today’s “retaliation” may be a distraction from another planned retaliation.)

What Trump does not understand is filling books, medical books, text books, history books. Yet there he is, with the muscles of an amoeba, the intellect of a banana, and the worst collection of wind-up dolls ever accumulated as an alleged cabinet. What we have here is a gaggle of one-eyed jackels and hyenas. Look at the previous cabinet, if you don't believe me. They were professionals who never would/never did put us in this peril.

Came to this video at 7:17 p.m. est. Heard that Trump---or someone came up with some type cease-fire between Isreal and Iran. Don't know details. However, key: will a cease-fire hold. Perhaps we'll know more tomorrow and have better insight or discussion concerning this development. Perhaps by tomorrow there will something else? Duh. Thanks for this discussion. Take care.

There will be no peace or limited ceasefire as long as Israel continues bombing Gaza, Iran, and IMF attacks in the West Bank.

If it's true that Iran's capacity to make nuclear weapons hasn't been 'obliterated' as Trump claims, that makes it more likely that Iran - and any other country with nuclear ambitions - will ramp up development to warp speed. Because it's clear that countries with nuclear weapons are safer than those without. Just look at the disparate treatment between North Korea and Iran.

Perhaps the ultimate Arab/Israeli peace accord would come when Iran has a nuclear arsenal that equals Israel’s nuclear arsenal - mutually assured destruction.

Trump's major, if only, "plan" is to amass power, money, and attention and say and do whatever he wants to in each moment. So far, it seems to be working well for him and his loyalists. Just not for those of us for whom morality and care of others matter -- and who do not live by the mantra, "the ends justify the means." Cruelty, sadism, and the loss of lives are all part of Mr. Trump's M.O.

This silliness about 'are we at war with Iran' is just nuts. If ANY country had launched bombing attacks on us, there's no question how we would take that. Just look what happened after Pearl Harbor and 9/11. We ARE at war with Iran, no matter how many times JD Hillbilly says we're not.

Cheeto’s “Weapons of Mass Distraction”

The Orange Cheeto with his Nazi sycophants in the cabinet used the pretense that the Iranians had enough enriched uranium to make a bomb negating his own national intelligence that it was not the case Cheeto has claimed that this was the “final blow” to such a program but one Iranian observer has said that this will only deter Iranians for a year until the program will be back up and running

Now the international geiger counters used by agencies to detect any emitted radiation that would be released from the bombing of the radioactive sites have detected nothing So it appears that the ruse that Cheeto made that the bombing strike would take out enriched uranium suggesting that it was a Bush “weapons of mass destruction” fantasy satisfied no one but Netanyahu who has been saying for decades that an “Iranian nuclear bomb” was just around the corner Perhaps the enriched uranium had already been moved but we will never know

So Cheeto was stupid enough to buy what Netanyahu was selling…prior presidents have been dismissive but Cheeto was dumb enough to take the bait And now Iranian sleeper cells within the US could be activated as Iran measures its next move
