to say the least, but finally got some confirmation. Don't know how many of you saw this, but it's a, "Yeah, I'd have gone, too".
Turns out Trump and Netayahu were right on the money. The headline - Trump attacked before Iran nuked America, saving millions of lives - pretty much says it all. The long and the short of it is during the peace negotiations being mediated by Oman, the Iranians bragged to US officials that in 6 days, they were going to be at 90% enrichment and that they had 5 long-range missiles ready, which they were going to arm and launch as soon as possible, in order to get rid of the Great Satan.
Whether it was a bluff or not, I have no idea, but the idea the mullahs would be that stupid. floors me.
This would mean anywhere from 5 - 50 million Americans (if they hit Seattle, LA, and San Fiasco, probably more - prevailing winds) dead and a lot of infrastructure gone. This is why Trump is doing to the mullahs what Eisenhower and MacArthur did to the Krauts and the Nips in '45 or what Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan did to the Confederacy.
Why they're playing this sotto voce, I'm not sure. Clearly, once this does get out (and it will, I have no doubt), forget Rushmore. America's going to build a new mountain just for him. The Demos are trying to stem the tide by talking draft and doing the Vietnam dance, forgetting how Brandon was talking draft as a way of cutting unbemployment.. It won't work, simply because this is a war fought with high tech and special operations and the kind of WWII-era dumb draftee the Demos envision in a DEI Army isn't needed.
