    If Trump claims victory then bombs them again in 6 months because of a bad poll, would that count as WW4?

    trump seems in the throes of an extended mental breakdown. If I were religious, I would pray for the country.

    Let’s see the results we got here:

    -spent a billion dollars a day of tax payer money
    -killed the ayatollah who was replaced by a more hard line ayatollah
    -shut down oil production and sky rocketed gas prices
    -killed 160 children with an errant tomahawk missile
    -drove a wedge between the US and our allies who refused to help
    -destroyed missile launch sites and already weak navy
    -IRGC still very much in tact
    -Poisoned the air of Tehran with oil rain from exploding a plant
    -8 US soldiers killed
    -No new treaty or agreement
    -Iran no longer willing to meet for negotiations

    -Now leaving because…. Wall Street is nose diving

    What a fcking disaster

    Agreed - he will look extremely weak. The only way he saves face is some sort of capitulation or some sort of tangible change.

    This is the first time in his life another country hasn't capitulated to him trying to kiss his ass. He's so use to getting his way with his cult following and other nations terrified of him he has no idea what to do.

    He demanded regime change and an unconditional surrender. He looks completely defeated

    not a goy or Jew , a Zebra subspecies!
    living in an apartment in Houston backed wirh kids is a very humble ranking in the food chain ecosystem, a series of bad judgments contributed to that for sure, the least to say that old turtle rambling with arrogance and entitlements is in a self-defeating position that's only unhinged person cannot distinguish.

    Israeli aren't Israelite, Ashkinazi are not Hebro ,Khasarz aren't semite, Yiddish aren't Aramaic, Talmud ain't the Torah, Zionest State of 1948 is a satanic idea and doesn't belong to the Bible

    Netenyahu has now been in power - on and off - for 29 years since he first became PM. Even when he's been technically out of office, he's been highly influential in regional and US politics.

    No head of state in the middle east and North Africa has served in their role longer than Netenyahu. Only 3 out of 20+ in the region have served for over 25 years. These are monarchies and fake democracies. You kind of expect them to last much longer than the head of state of a democracy.

    That's it, just wanted to share that.

    A lifetime of studying the Q'uran and you still lack the simplest understanding.

    Simplicity: Despite his leadership, the Prophet Muhammad lived with extreme simplicity, often sleeping on a mat of reeds that left marks on his side.
    After the migration (Hijrah) to Medina, his property in Mecca was seized, and he lived in tents during the conquest of Mecca rather than reclaiming his old home.

    Minimal Sustenance: He often went months without cooking, subsisting primarily on water and dates.
    Simple Dwelling: His living spaces were small and, according to reports, his bed consisted of a simple mat that left marks on his side.
    No Luxury: He rejected the lavish, extravagant, and opulent lifestyle of contemporary rulers.
    Humble Demeanor: He despised being treated with arrogance or having people rise for him upon entering a room.
    Generosity: Despite having access to wealth, he prioritized giving it to the poor, widows, and orphans.
    His humility was not due to poverty, but a deliberate choice to avoid distractions from the remembrance of Allah.

    In all aspects of his life, Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) demonstrated that humility is a sign of true strength. His simplicity was not because of a lack of wealth — after the spread of Islam, much wealth flowed into Madinah — but because he chose to live simply, fearing that luxury might distract from the remembrance of Allah.

    The lessons from his life are deeply relevant today. In a world often filled with materialism, pride, and competition, the example of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) teaches us the value of humility, gratitude, and simple living. True success does not lie in wealth or status, but in serving others with sincerity and in maintaining a heart free of arrogance.

    Prophet Muhammad led a simple and modest life. Despite his leadership role, he chose to live in a humble dwelling, wore simple clothing, and ate simple food. He would often mend his own clothes and help with household chores. There was hardly any furniture in his room. His mattress has been described by his companions as “a piece of tanned skin stuffed with palm fibres”. He sometimes wore unstitched clothes, and used to repair his clothes himself. He told his companions, “Wearing old clothes is a part of faith.” (Abu Dawud 4,161 – Sahih)

    The Prophet preferred simple and modest clothing. He once said, “I have been commanded to wear simple and humble clothing.” His choice of clothing reflected his humility and lack of attachment to material possessions.
    The lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad was remarkably simple and unpretentious. He did not possess any luxuries, and the gifts he used to receive were often distributed among others or given away in charity.

    Once, Ibn Masud saw the Prophet sleeping on a straw mat which left marks on his body. Ibn Masud expressed his desire to spread soft bedding for the Prophet, at which he replied, “What have I to do with the world? I am not in the world but as a rider seeking shade under a tree, then he catches his breath and leaves it.” (Tirmidhi 2,377 – Hasan) The Prophet advised Abdullah bin Umar as follows, “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler.” (Bukhari 6,416) Sahl bin Saad As-Saidi asked the Prophet to inform him about an action which would make Allah, as well as the people, love him. The Prophet replied, “Be indifferent towards this world, and Allah will love you. Be indifferent to what is in people’s hands, and they will love you.” (Ibn Majah 4,102 – Sahih according to Al-Albani)

    After the demise of the Prophet – when Islam spread to distant lands and the Muslims became more advanced both technologically and militarily – wealth flowed into Madinah and other parts of the Muslim world. The Companions would then nostalgically remember the simple life led by the Prophet. Some of them, such as Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, would weep at the affluence of the Muslims, fearing that Allah had given them all their reward in this life and left nothing for the hereafter. Umar and other companions who became caliphs or governors frequently reminded their people of the simple ways of the Prophet, and the desirability of living humbly and without extravagance.

    There is, hence, a great lesson of humility and gratitude in the lifestyle of the Prophet. He accomplished his noble mission with a minimum of worldly possessions, indicating the insignificance of worldly riches. Besides, contentment of heart does not come from possessing more, but from being satisfied with what one possesses. We must, therefore, seek to make our lives simpler, and value all that we have, as the Prophet said, “Whoever among you wakes up physically healthy, feeling safe and secure within himself, with food for the day, it is as if he acquired the whole world.” (Ibn Majah 4,141 – Hasan)

    Iranian hardliners are in no rush to agree to a ceasefire even if Trump were to try declaring a victory and ending the war, says
    @AliVaez

    “Their calculus is that they paced themselves out, and that in coming days the U.S. and Israel will run out of interceptors and they will be able to inflict much more harm on every one of the U.S. allies in the region, and then Trump will be coming to beg for some kind of cease-fire, for which they could dictate the terms. It is to a degree wishful thinking because even if U.S. defensive capabilities suffer, it is still well-stocked on the offensive side and can inflict way more damage to Iran.”

    "Showcase" is the key word of this quote.

    Maybe they'll produce another war p*rn video that @Commodore can post for the magas to whack off to.

    Fox News can put it on a loop and play it 24/7 under "Breaking News."

    This is the kind of no-nonsense sensible thinking that's been missing from leadership

    That should not be accepted though. Yes we have throughout the past 100 years have lied, and those are notable.

    However the world coming out of WW2 has needed the US and the West to operate as an honorable force that abides by international law. Even if we faltered from time to time, even the illusion of honor, and law matters.

    If the US succumbs to the easy road of being another Russia or China than there is no reason for all of the other smaller countries in this world to just align themselves however they want, and for the rich and powerful in their countries to operate without facts, rules, and accountability.

    What Trump is doing to normalize the US as just another Russia who lies, murders, and steals from smaller countries is actually pretty freaking bad for our future as.... well... the planet earth.

    Unsurprisingly Iran has refused to play the game and is refusing his offers for negotiations which the Israeli/US normally use as a chance to kill the negotiators.

    With the pretty effective blackout of what damage Iran is causing to Israel it is hard to know exactly how f'd up this can get. If Israel runs out of intrceptor missiles before Iran runs out of offensive drones and missiles nuclear war is possible and Israel using tactical nukes might be probable. Do not expect any opposition from the religious leaders of Israel, unlike what we have seen at least in the past from Iran.

    As Trump gets increasingly desperate It will be humiliating for Emperor Donnie to have to agree to major concessions such as the end of sanctions against Iran, a withdrawal of US troops from the Emirates and other US depenencies, etc. Of course Netanyahu will have to give his approval. Can Trump get so desperate that he would actually disobey Netanyahu?

    Prediction: President TACO after killing U.S. soldiers and 160 Iranian school girls, destroying billions in infrastructure and spending billions of dollars will end up with a worse deal than Obama.
