How close are we to WWIII?

[GO-NAD!]

It's no surprise that Iran refuses to commit to ending their nuclear weapons program. From the regime's perspective, it would only logical to feel that continuing the program is imperative, given the events of the last few weeks. At the same time, I can see Israel viewing this as an existential threat. Therefore, I can see at least periodic - if not continuous - attacks on Iran in an effort to inhibit any progress Iran may be making in constructing a nuke. And, Netanyahu will continue to lead the "no more foreign wars" president by the nose to assist them.

LOL, guess who's in charge of the 'DOD'

I wasn't aware that the head of DOD was involved in that act without being trained in weapons systems. That's really an admin role, but who the hell knows how it's (un/mis)organized now?

 

[highfigh]

They already have, tho.

I meant launching nukes.

 

[highfigh]

Didn’t someone else who won that gave it to trump ? He wishes America could declare him emperor. Like ancient Rome could .

The physical prize, maybe- I doubt they would give him the money.

Give him time....and if the guy with the football says go, and they've got well placed loyalists....

Crazy. What a loon.

Now Trump has proved he is demented! He is planning to block the Straights of Hormuz, and giving not sane reason. He wants Nato to help, and they are refusing. Sir Keir Starmer has already issued a strong rebuke.

Get hold of your congressional representatives and implore they impeach Trump now.

House is not enough. Is there enough in the Senate to remove him?

I think there might be enough. Both our senators are democrats, but if you have Republican senators in your district get hold of them as well.

This could have an absolutely catastrophic conclusion. There is now absolute evidence Donald Trump is insane.

Still hard to find 67 senators to remove after an impeachment. That would be 20 crossover votes at present.

Yeah guess so or a replica ? Either way I don’t see any more jobs available here like he promised he would bring them back.

I never heard of that guy and I don't know what he's talking about. My niece moved to Connecticut last year for work. I'm quite certain she didn’t pay to leave.

Trump: Open the Strait of Hormuz, or I will close it!"

This is just applicable to ships originating in Iranian ports:
“U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports,” the statement said.
“The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman,” CENTCOM said.
At the same time, the command noted that U.S. military forces will not interfere with freedom of navigation for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz if they are traveling to or from non-Iranian ports.

I've started watching Robert Pape... Here are a couple of good discussions on how the Iran War is a trap that's about to tighten and how Iran is becomming the burgeoning new 4th world power.

Maybe for the next 20 minutes or so.

Trump said in an earlier Truth Social post (which has apparently been deleted) it would be "[a]ny and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,”

>>>“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday morning. “At some point, we will reach an ‘ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT’ basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen.”<<<

You give him way too much credit.
There is nothing but empty space under that thinning orange mess.
