Live Thread: War With Iran Continues #6

[Hoodat]

Bro. I don’t know where your $$ is sitting, but we eat steak.

I can't afford steak.  And I do not accept a stock market driven by the same rules of supply and demand as everything else to be an indicator of the overall health of the economy (especially when that supply curve keeps getting shifted rightwards by $2 trillion every year).  I just simply want Trump to finish the job.  Taking out the IRGC would be his greatest foreign policy victory of his entire Presidency.  And it frustrates me to no end to watch him give enough pause again and again allowing the IRGC to regroup.

Saudi-led coalition says 11 civilians were injured in Najran Province following what it described as Houthi attacks on Thursday.

Coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki said the injured include seven Saudi nationals (including four children), one Yemeni, two Egyptians, and one Pakistani. The statement accused Houthi forces of carrying out indiscriminate attacks targeting civilian-populated areas, calling them violations of international humanitarian law.

The coalition said it would continue taking measures to deter further attacks and protect civilians.

That poster you’re responding to told me I’d be eating crow when it comes to the economy under Trump

And maybe he’s right. Crow may be the cheapest meat for people to buy now


When their only rebuttal is to bring up MSNOW, you know their talking points are falling apart

They let you off the Lincoln Project Mother Ship? 

Kudos Junior.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Lol

I doubt that increasing numbers of Americans  are  impressed with your stock portfolio and the fact that you get to eat steak while they struggle to  afford basic necessities😁

I'm an immigrant.

Worked my ass off since I tuned 14. Didn't spend money on foolish things like $10 cups of coffee and $100 sneakers, and dropped as much as possible into my 401K, etc.

American dream baby, and not ashamed of it.

For fifty years we did absolutely nothing, while Iran and their militias killed us pretty much at will.

Let me say that again... we did NOTHING for 50 years, so I'll give it whatever time it takes to get it done right.

TESTIFY!!!!!

[LMAO]

Kudos Junior.

Why do you keep bringing up the Lincoln Project, or Jim Cramer,   every time you’re losing an argument to me?


I couldn’t even name a member of the Lincoln Project



You told me last year that I would be eating crow when it comes to the economy and inflation. I’m just giving you a chance to say you were wrong, that’s all

So now not only do we have a poor economy with rising prices, we now have a new war that’s being horribly mismanaged by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. And then add on more debt and more government to the mix. Thank God and neither one of them were around during World War II


Trump ran on bringing down prices and no new wars and both of those are gone, see ya, bye bye. And the voters are going to “reward”  he and the GOP this November.

All the name-calling in the world isn’t gonna change that.


But if you want to sell this economy and this war to voters as some  kind of success… Good luck, sport😁

[LMAO]

So why did Donald Trump and others in 2024 claim  that if Harris got elected, we would be in a war in the Middle East due to her weakness and incompetence


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9TwkFWWD57c&ra=m

Why did Donald Trump say that Obama would attack Iran to boost declining poll  numbers back when Obama was president?

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1435126901016417/?hpir=1


So, based on Trump, and people like JD Vance’s and Gabbard’s own standard, is it fair to say that Trump attacked Iran because he is weak and  incompetent and he’s trying to boost his poll  numbers(which is failing)😁


Now, I am fully expecting you to try to make me the issue. But I’m just simply using their own words and campaign promises…. That’s all.

[LMAO]

I’m not too worried about the Democrats winning the Housec this fall and,  a good chance to also take the Senate, as government will be at least divided enough for anybody to do too much damage

But if their momentum carries into 2028, where they get the presidency and both chambers of Congress in 2028, then look out

People had economic anxieties before the war. Now you add the war on, which started out without public support, and we could see a 2006 and 2008 type scenario repeat itself

[BobfromWB]

We still have a full compliment of the missiles that should be used in retaliation, if it comes to that.

That's the plan - the Mad Mullahs and their IRGC would welcome martyrdom with open arms. Its not about wining for them, its about brining the 12th Imam back, which can only be accomplished by the scent of blood of millions dead. Millions of us, millions of them, millions of Jews, millions of Christians:

Apocalypse, the divine mission of the Mad Mullahs to bring everyone to Paradise.

Am not an immigrant, but grew up in a lower middle class family of 11 kids and we began working at an early age and more than half of us graduated from college, working and paying our own way.

We did not complain but saw opportunity.

You are spot on.  Gratitude for that opportunity to make it is much better than the pessimism some exhibit at every turn.

It is the American dream, and I now raise cattle and eat steak whenever I wish.  Now that I am thinking about it, a ribeye tonight sounds good to me.

Saudi Arabia is expecting imminent attacks from Iraqi militias in the north and Yemen’s Houthis in the south under the direction of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a report said.

A senior Saudi official told Reuters that intelligence reports from Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and other countries indicated that energy infrastructure, ports and airports are among the potential targets.

The official added that Saudi Arabia has observed drones and missiles being moved in preparation, suggesting a coordinated operation from both directions could be looming.

Saudi Arabia is ready to respond to “any aggression,” the official also told Reuters.

I just want it done.  And I hope Trump does, too.  Which is why I get encouraged when I hear him use words like “decapitate”.

Kudos.  The only reason there is an ‘American Dream’ is because of people like you importing it.

Can we finally acknowledge who’s in control in Iran and start acting accordingly?

IMHO, that was the right term to use, too.

  One should never ever be ashamed of hard work and reaching for the American dream.  We instilled that in our children when they were growing up.  They are hard workers with one heck of a work ethic.

I'm tired of the mamby pamby chronic complainers.  Yes things are a little rough right now, but they'd be a whole lot rougher if Iran started nuking us and then they'd really be complaining.

As for steak .... I'm a meat lover.  I used to have a freezer full of steaks .... just can't swing it these days.  Mostly ground sirloin, chicken and pork .... and when Angus steak is on sale, I buy as much as possible.  That's life folks!!!
