Live Thread: War With Iran Continues #4

[Right_in_Virginia]

Israel does not have the luxury of being able to run away like Trump wants to do.

Trump is not running away.   It's more likely Netanyahu's manipulations to drag us into a war that isn't ours have grown stale and his silver tongue has turned to rust.

I have no doubt that Trump will refuse Israel the IFF codes they need to fly safely in the area.
Trump is now actively supporting Iran, all for the sake of his bizarre really bizarre singular fixation chasing his white rabbit 'deal'.

You're jumping the shark here ⬆️. Sparky.  Take it down a notch.

[Cyber Liberty]

And 47 years' worth of actual history!

Almost all discussion at this point is idle speculation, except for the part where we promised months ago that help is on the way to the civilians in Iran!

My neighbor from across the street empties four magazines shooting at me. But he happened to miss me because I dodged his shots behind a tree.
I go to Trump and say, I'm going to have to kill that guy. He is shooting at me. Trump says, Wait! He didn't hit you did he. What's the big deal? Just ignore it.

Trump would never say "just ignore it".   He'd more likely tell you to get the he## out of the way, you're just effing up a better way to handle it.

[BobfromWB]

That's quite a statement.  "Trump has been compromised somehow". I think that would be a first, frankly.  He does things his way. Always has.  Perhaps his 'age' has finally affected him?k  I don't know. 

Anyone else -- opinions on this????

However, I honestly don't know what to make of all of this.  It's hard to decipher exactly what Trump meant.  He's coming up with some really bizarre statements that just don't mesh with his original statements going into this conflict.

Refer up thread to my Iranian nuke in the US theory. Its enough to compromise any one, even 47.

Netanyahu still thinks full out war is the only way to handle it (especially a few months before his next election).  But,  Netanyahu's has had 30 years to fix this or put together a military coalition --- and he's failed at both, resoundingly.

Now Netanyahu needs to stop pushing with his elbows and shoulders and learn to take orders.  --- Or, he can do whatever he wants by himself, with his blood and with his treasure.

Trump Tells Israel Not To Retaliate Against Iran In Tense Phone Call With Netanyahu

Trending Politics

June 7, 2026



President Donald Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond after Iran launched a number of ballistic missiles towards Israeli territory on Sunday evening.

In what was arguably the most significant escalation in hostilities since a ceasefire was agreed to in mid-April, Iran launched at least 10 missiles towards Israeli territory. The regime stated that the strikes were launched in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which they described as a violation of the ceasefire there.

Israeli military officials stated that all missiles were successfully shot down, and no casualties or significant damage were reported. Sirens activated in parts of northern Israel, but officials confirmed the threat was fully neutralized not long after the opening launches.

President Donald Trump addressed the developments in statements to reporters on the same day. In a telephone interview with the Financial Times, Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have no choice but to accept any deal the United States negotiates with Iran.

“He won’t have any choice. I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots,” Trump told the outlet.

Trump insists 'that's enough' as Iran fires missiles at Israel for the first time since ceasefire amid warnings of 'more crushing blows'

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15881323/Iran-fires-missiles-Israel-warning-Beirut-strikes.html

Donald Trump said he would plead with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iranian strikes on Israel - which came in response to Israeli strikes on Beirut on Sunday.

‘I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate,’ Trump was quoted as saying by Axios journalist Barak Ravid in a phone interview, using the Israeli leader’s nickname.

‘Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one,’ Mr Trump said.

Trump described the attack - the first Iranian strikes on Israeli soil since April - as 'unhelpful' to the peace process and called for calm between the two nations.

'We're very close,' the president told Fox News about his progress on a landmark peace deal.

'I would say an agreement would be signed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week. And now this takes place.'

Addressing Iran, he said: 'You've shot your missiles, that's enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.'

He told The Financial Times that Netanyahu did not have a choice about whether to accept the terms of the US deal with Iran.

'He won’t have any choice,' Trump told the FT. 'I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.'

He also told The New York Post that 'things are going very well' despite the chaos.

EXCERPT

This is just absurd.

[libertybele]

Then there's no reason for our troops, ships, planes and money to be there.  Pack it up boys and girls, remember to toot and wave on the way out.

Bibi should call the shots for Israel just as Trump calls the shots for the United States.  They have worked with each other.  Bibi has commented though that he wants to become less reliant on the U.S. for support, both militarily and monetarily so it sounds as if Trump is overbearing or over stepping.  I'm only guessing.

Obviously geographically Israel is much more at risk nor should he ever stop his attacks and defense until he is satisfied that there will never be another October 7.

If this is indeed Trump's exact quotes and not taken out of context, yes, I agree, it is absolutely absurd.

Trump has gone off the rails. Describing war as 'fun' is idiotic, insulting, and condescending to every soldier everywhere who has served.
Equating Israel DEFENDING ITSELF FROM IRAN/HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS as 'fun' as an unprovoked strike on Lebanon is simply retarded.
Trump is making a moral equivalence between what Iran/Hezbollah are doing to Israel and what Israel is doing in defense. This is pure ignorance.
 
Trump seems to be unable to differentiate between defending civilians from attacks, and unprovoked aggression from Iran/Hezbollah.
Israel would be nowhere near Lebanon if Hezbollah had not launched thousands of missiles at them. Trump's words are lunacy.
Trump is speaking to Israel and Iran like a teacher speaks to little children. He has ho idea how much the Iranian regime is laughing at his nievete.

Trump is Great with domestic issues. But he should leave warfighting to the military. Trump is a lost and confused lamb when it comes to war.

Wouldn't identifying and correcting the mistakes made by Israeli Intel services and political leadership be important?

Sure it would, provided there were leaks or lapses or even criminality.

But the blame still falls on those who attacked.

[BobfromWB]

??? .... "The Buster Brown Show"???? Never heard of Buster Brown other than shoes. 

AI:
The Buster Brown Show was a children's radio and television program that aired from 1943 to 1960, primarily sponsored by the Brown Shoe Company to promote Buster Brown shoes. Originally hosted by "Smilin' Ed" McConnell, the show featured iconic characters like Froggy the Gremlin, who appeared when McConnell said, "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!"

After McConnell's death in 1954, the television series was renamed and hosted by Andy Devine, who continued the format and retained characters like Froggy and Midnight the Cat. The program's theme song famously included the lyric, "I got shoes. You got shoes. Everybody's got to have shoes. And there's only one kinda shoes for me - good ole Buster Brown Shoes!"

My dad loved those shoes, for reasons unknown, so he acquired the nickname "Bus".

I'm sure from his actions and statements that 47 believes a war is just a deal gone bad, only needing a better deal maker to step in and fix it with a great deal to end the war. Peace in our time at last.

Bibi should call the shots for Israel just as Trump calls the shots for the United States.

Netanyahu is certainly entitled to call the shots for Israel ---- in fact, I encourage him to go on shooting without the US. 

This doesn't change that Netanyahu is a lying, unreliable, parasitic wad of phlegm and that it's time for the US to cut the military, financial and political cords with this misfit for once and for all.

But, no worries for some ---- Trump won't
