Quite a few people claim Iran might already have nukes now. It's the smart thing to do. Trump is talking about wiping out Iran's civilization, sending them back to the stone age. And one big glowing Iran. Netanyahu talks about the final solution. Iran would have to be insane not to have nukes going by this kind of rhetoric. This is existential for them.

I posted a few weeks ago that Iran should test a nuke or two within their borders to show that they have nukes and can deliver them. I also said Iran's missiles should be able to reach anywhere in the US mainland. That's the only way this aggression and unwanted war will stop. Few people in the US wanted this war with Iran. Coach is in the minority. He's also full of shit when he claims Trump campaigned on starting a war with Iran. He campaigned on no more endless wars and foreign meddling. And don't say this is not a war. It absolutely is one.

^^^ Yesterday I was watching a video on a YouTube channel that you would say is almost ‘anti-Israel’, or at least they vehemently oppose Israel...... and Larry Johnson was brought on as a guest. And he said that Iran most likely already has nuclear weapons.

I think Larry and Pepe Escobar brought it up first, then you had Barnes and Col. Wilkerson who said they heard the same rumors. How Pakistan told Rubio Iran was going to pull out of the non-proliferation treaty and so on. I'm highly skeptical that someone in Iran leaked it to Larry and Pablo, but who knows. Also if I was Larry I would be scared to say what I heard as it could have major consequences, whether true or not. However many experts like MIT prof. Ted Postol have said Iran has had the capability to produce a nuke quickly for many years, however he claims they haven't wanted a nuke for several good reasons, which may have changed since they killed the Ayatollah who had issued the fatwa against nukes. Trump of course claims the "nuclear dust" is buried under rubble at Isfahan and the Iranians can't get to it, US satellites are watching 24/7. Before this war Trump said they were a couple of weeks away from a bomb

If was Iran I would have removed it before the attack last June as it was telegraphed so far in advance.

It's true Trump has been talking about attacking Iran, I think he even talked about Kharg island, since decades ago, long before he became president. I think at least 99%+ of voters however had no idea about these past comments. So for Coach to say Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned for is not quite true IMO. Iran war was not what most voters heard. JD Vance also was very much against it in the run up to the election. Word is that JD was against an attack when Trump asked for his opinion; now Trump is reportedly really pissed at Vance since everything Vance warned against has come true. He's supposedly been pretty isolated from decision making now. Barnes talks about in the clip I posted

I think Trump listened to the wrong people on Iran. He probably heard arguments from both sides with Vance on the more restrained side and warhawks like Lindsey Graham on the other but ultimately got swayed by the hawks. I don’t think he was especially eager to bomb Iran, but I do think he got talked into it. It was his final decision though and he needs to own his mistake and get out of there.

Yeah NY Times had that report about the lead-up. "I stopped reading @ 'NY Times'" Coach will say LOL. Anyway, even the lying press sometimes gets legitimate leaks, intentional leaks or otherwise. The report said Trump basically listened more to Netanyahu and Mossad chief David Barnea.

"Mr. Trump sat down, but not in his usual position at the head of the room’s mahogany conference table. Instead, the president took a seat on one side, facing the large screens mounted along the wall. Mr. Netanyahu sat on the other side, directly opposite the president.

Appearing on the screen behind the prime minister was David Barnea, the director of Mossad...

The reporting underscores how closely Mr. Trump’s hawkish thinking aligned with Mr. Netanyahu’s over many months, more so than even some of the president’s key advisers recognized...

When Mr. Trump joined the meeting, Mr. Ratcliffe briefed him on the assessment. The C.I.A. director used one word to describe the Israeli prime minister’s regime change scenarios: "farcical."

At that point, Mr. Rubio cut in. "In other words, it’s bullshit," he said.
"

LOL

Absolutely no one could have predicted this, I certainly never did
"Just bomb and bomb some more, that'll do it!" - boomers like Coach

Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing. They know where the negotiations stand. The Democrats are fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome. They would rather have our Country fail than give me another, of many, victories. The four Republicans, that’s a whole other story - They’re GRANDSTANDERS! They should be ashamed of themselves. MAGA!!! President DJT
