But I feel like there has to be more to it than that, but at the same time, Trump isn't that crafty. I tend to believe that Trump is genuinely thicker than pig s###. So...its hard to derive motivation without knowing who the real puppet-master is and what they want.

IMO Trump is the Monkey, I want to know who the Organ Grinder is.

Trump may be a dimwit, and the exact phrase “martial law” is not in Project 2025, but the sentiment sure is. Any excuse to invoke martial law and suspend elections.

You have to understand this isnt a bug, it's a feature, if Government doesn't work then it is easy to persuade people that 'government doesnt work so put your faith in the free market and stop paying taxes' it's Chicago school neo liberalism 101

I’m not the expert but I think it’s too soon.


Are you familiar with this book? As scary as it is, it is also hilarious as it is all projection.

The biggest problem with Iran possessing nukes is then the whole region will get them

"Most of them are actually Hamas".


Somehow, he's still able to post here after that disgusting admission of how he feels about the women and children getting blown to pieces. And some posters felt it necessary to express that they "appreciate his perspective." So it's not innocuous comments, it's actually influencing people into digging what he's selling.

It’s fine they were probably all Hezbollah or Hamas.

The University was not bombed. This is fake news, nothing helpful about spreading misinformation during these times.

It was reported to have been bombed at the time. That looks to have been incorrect.


Quote:
According to Iran’s official news agency IRNA, the university authorities confirmed that the earlier media reports suggesting a direct hit on the university were not accurate. “No part of the university campus was affected by the blasts. All campus buildings are safe, and academic activities continue without disruption,” university officials said in a statement.
The clarification came after several Iranian media outlets, including the Tehran Times, initially reported that Shahid Beheshti University had been targeted. Ziraat Times had also reported the development, quoting these initial reports.

You can just say that and, you know, provide some useful evidence for it instead of your flaccid dunk attempt.

You can provide a proper link to a story when posting instead of spreading misinformation.

Wasn’t trying to dunk on you, sorry if I did.

#### off with your "spreading misinformation". If you google it, there are several stories that mention it. Seth Abramson is a respected journalist, so it is a trusted source. I'm sorry I didn't CIA level research his post before sharing.

I had to google it, because you didn’t provide a link.

That’s how I found out it was fake news. Don’t know why you are so bent out of shape about it.

To be fair, getting true and accurate information out of Iran is difficult because journalism is essentially banned in the country. It's mostly either from Iran state media which is unreliable or social media which has a lot of fake news or stories that can support practically any view point.

UAE and Qatari airspace shutting down currently, due to fear of Iran reprisal attacks on US assets in their countries.

There still appear to be arrivals happening into Dubai, but a lot of aircraft in holds.

Iran launches missiles at US Air base in Qatar:

All those young men and teenage boys that voted for Trump due to Joe Rogan are going to find out gender neutral bathrooms aren't such a big issue afterall.
