Liberals don't know things, they can only act as retarded parrots.

And I love the whole "empty facility" when, at the most, he did what he did for Syria his first term and gave them advanced warning. You DO remember that, don't you? When everyone said it was useless because the troops went to the blast protection areas while we bombed the air base?

People saying "Oh, they had advanced warning!" think that a facility capable of refining uranium up into the 60-80% mark is just like their home computer and maybe that cool lab they saw on Big Bang Theory.

No, you drooling fucking faggot, it's a facility that was tailor designed for equipment that had to be assembled inside the facility. Even if you put the uranium on the back of a particularly retarded camel and led it off into the desert, the refining facility is now fucking borked because blasts that big turn the rock semi-liquid and makes it roll, meaning it'll take months, at the best, to make sure that the facility itself is intact.

The facility was the target, not the fucking uranium, not the fucking scientists.
Heavy machinery like what they have in there cannot be moved out unless they start blowing holes in walls to get trucks and forklifts in big enough with enough clearance to get through. And those will be some big ass prime movers. The machines are fucking gone. Scrap metal.
 
He can get in the dumps in the public eye for a few weeks, but comes back every time.
The way Walter Kirn described this was that Trump willingly lets himself be the bad guy and intentionally takes the hit so that it happens on his own terms, thus taking that power away from his enemies.

Instead of running for cover, Trump catches the bullets with his teeth.
 
Im starting to think Donny boy has more of a hate boner for Iran than george W ever could have had for iraq/saddam. You would think they realize how obsessed he is over optics, and publicly calling for his assassination (and then one almost happening) would piss him the fuck off. His daily warside chats/tweets have been a source of my evening entertainment; regardless.

Thanking them for advance notice (and to save american lives) is *chef's kiss*.
 
well, well, well, things turned out pretty much as i predicted earlier.

Trump tried to make a deal for 2 months all the way up to the last second.

Trump bombed the fuck out of Iran

Iran bombed a empty airbase to save face

A ceasefire. the exact same playbook as syria.

but so many catastrophists assured me that neocon don was going to invade Iran and doom the world. thread friends, its always the same. something happens and everyone panics and it settles down in a few days.

Unironically, the doomposters would have been better off had they spent all that time dooming watching Kuwei instead.
 
Isn't Trump supposed to go to some NATO meeting in the Hague soon? Security better be tight as fuck now, cause a lot of warmongers and just evil people are going to especially want to kill him now. I know someone in that area and they said it's all insane right now with security.

What to expect in the upcoming NATO summit: Trump, spending, Ukraine, Iran​

President Trump is expected to arrive in the Netherlands on Tuesday amid growing concerns over Iran​

Depends on what happens to Israel now.
If they are stil AIPACing then its not over.
 
The Trump/Nixon bull in the china shop mad man theory will never not be funny. it makes all the right people panic and usually works out in the end. All the usual suspects seethe because it doesn't fit into a "rules based international order".

It works because countries like Iran, Russia and China are not idealistic. They are realistic and fatalistic. They understand threats and actions and appreciate it because its very clear and straight forward. They also will make a deal to get out of a situation when they lose the upper hand.
