2026-02-28 Iran War - Israel and USA strikes Iran - "Preemptive Strike"

[chaos]

Haha. Evidently Iran is still a threat to Trump so I don't need Aryan news posts (the word Iran comes from that word; arabs they ain't) 

Where Iran has lied is about damage to US assets like claiming they sunk ships. The US can hardly point fingers

I'm melting over here.

That's why we wait until the end before we speak on it. It's like watching a fight, one shot can change everything.

True. The dissident podcast circuit has been pretty accurate so far on what would happen if US attacked though. We''ll see what happens in the end.

We in the modern West may not agree with many thing about Islam... but one thing can agree on looking back is that...

Islam was right about women!     

White Sharia!

"White Sharia" is a white supremacist meme and extremist ideology calling for the strict, violent subjugation of women. Emerging in the late 2010s within far-right and neo-Nazi online spaces, the concept takes orthodox Islamic laws and reinterprets them as an anti-feminist battle cry.

Core Ideology & OriginsThe Concept:

Promoters of the ideology blame falling Western birth rates, feminism, and liberal values on the freedom of white women. They advocate for a severe patriarchy where women are treated as property, stripped of voting and driving rights, and forced into strict gender roles.

The Irony: The term is a heavily ironic and contradictory adaptation of Islamic law. While these far-right groups are deeply Islamophobic, they simultaneously admire the extreme patriarchal control and submission to men they incorrectly associate with traditional Sharia law.

Usage: It gained wider public notoriety during the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where some white supremacists displayed signs advocating for it.Experts and civil rights groups track this concept as a primary example of how white nationalism intersects with extreme misogyny and male supremacy.

Has Iranian civilization been ended yet?

Has Iranian civilization been ended yet?

A 6000 (?) year old civilization ended by a megalomaniacal narcissist from a 249 year old civilization doesn't sound that great to me. Even if I hate their current regime.

I think hitting those world heritage sites is a shame too, some site was hit in Iran. I thought it was a crime when the Taliban bombed the Buddhas from the 6th century.

I've haven't been following the news at all, not even social media.

Any cliff notes on what is going on?

IMO Trump desperately looking for an off-ramp. Trump claims he cancelled a planned strike a few days ago because the Gulf states asked him not to. Israel and Bibi pushing hard for Trump to resume the war. Though I suspect a decision has been made already, perhaps even a long time ago. Trump can't just leave like this as a loser but OTOH he knows the other alternative is potentially catastrophic also.
Many say Trump can leave as he is the master of spin and can claim a loss as a win.
E.g. "we sent them back 25 years. We have eyes on the nucular dust 24/7, they can't do anything with it"

Seems like the whole military operation was just made up day by day as they went along instead of having a carefully thought out plan with phases, end goals etc. Also no proper coordination with allies except Israel.

So we find out today that it has been a lopsided effort by the US to protect Israel from air strikes.  Fucking leeches at this point.

---
Damning new data from inside the Pentagon suggests that U.S. forces are currently expending more resources defending Israel from missile strikes than Israeli forces themselves.

Three officials with knowledge of Defense Department assessments told The Washington Post on Thursday that the lopsided effort “underscores the extent to which Washington has shouldered the burden of countering Iranian ballistic missile strikes during Operation Epic Fury.”

U.S. forces, according to those assessments, have used up to half their total inventory of certain high-altitude interceptor systems, while Israel has deployed its own at a slower rate.

No proper systems thinking went into any of this.

They were not looking past immediate objectives, not looking any further down line.

One would think there'd be procedures and planning phases for launching a war military operation.

Surely the military would have wanted actual mapped-out long term plans instead of dropping a few missiles and hoping for the best? Killing the leadership is one thing, but there's still an entire structure behind it.

Apparently Bibi assured Trump the regime would collapse after the decapitation strike. Trump was apparently very surprised Iran closed the Straits. If you can believe the reports, JD Vance had a shouting match with Bibi with JD saying he blamed Bibi for promising to Trump the regime would fall. It was supposed to be over in 4 days.

All the Iranian leaders say they accept martyrdom and that they all already have replacements. The Iranian podcaster Marandi says even he has a replacement in case he is killed.

Trump:

With all of your inside info, I'm starting to think you might be an isreali jew with connections to bibi.

  You never know

Seriously though, there are many intentional fake leaks and I believe there are also many people who hate Trump around him, just like his first term, who leak things. Also if you didn't notice, I prefaced with "if you can believe the reports..." meaning not to take everything at face value. Question everything. I think it's well known JD was against the Iran war, Trump implied so himself recently, paraphrasing, "we had some philosophical differences but once the decision was made he was on board..."

Tulsi resigning now is interesting. Trump cancelled his attendance at his sons wedding saying "we have this thing called the Iran war going on..." Could the attack happen now on the weekend? I almost want it to happen, though I would regret the death and destruction. The Gulf family dictatorships, US allies, collapsing would be pretty satisfying. A bunch of scat party perverts over there.

I don't clam to know anything really, I'm not a prophet, I think some speculation is fine in a thread like this

CNN fake news. What does the reliable Fox News say?
