Got that right.

The US supplies more assistance to Israel than any other country on the planet.



Trump and Netanyahu act like best buddies when they are in public together.

I think the idea that the US and Israel have not been closely coordinating behind the scenes over the gradual turning of the screws on Iran in recent months is fantasy stuff for people suffering from MeriTrumPhobia: a word I have coined to describe an irrational fear of seeing anything of merit in anything Trump does.

Ali Khamenei is not in Iran, he and selected others have bailed on one of the Chinky planes that have been popping in

The Arabs waged war after war after war and lost them all. That does have consequences.

Wow! That’s catchy. Have you called Miriam-Webster, yet? That’s right up there with Covfefe , and Panican.

I am sick of your utter idiocy and lies. The Arabs never owned any of that land, you mouth breathing buffoon. The lands belonged to the Jews for thousands of years before the arabs came along to that region. Pallywood is a fictional creation of Yasser Arafat and the former USSR. All of those "gazans" before 1949 held either Egyptian or Jordanian citizenships. Two nations that have locked borders to anyone of so called palestinian heritage.

Two Iran nuclear sites destroyed in Israel strikes: UN

The UN nuclear watchdog said Israeli strikes on Wednesday (Jun 18) destroyed two buildings making centrifuge components for Iran's nuclear programme near Tehran, while Iran said it fired hypersonic missiles as the arch foes traded fire for a sixth day.


Hours after United States President Donald Trump demanded Iran's surrender, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed his country would show "no mercy" towards Israel's leadership.

U.S. Embassy in Israel offering to evacuate American citizens

The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is working on dispatching evacuation flights and cruise ships for American citizens who wish to leave Israel amid the country's ongoing conflict with Iran, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Michael Huckabee announced Wednesday.


The announcement comes in the sixth day of the Israel-Iran war, which saw fresh exchanges of strikes overnight into Wednesday. The U.S. State Department on Monday raised its travel advisory for Israel to a Level 4 "do not travel," the highest travel warning possible.

"Urgent notice! American citizens wanting to leave Israel- US Embassy in Israel ... is working on evacuation flights & cruise ship departures," Huckabee wrote on X. "You must enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). You will be alerted w/ updates."


It's not yet clear when the flights and cruise ships will be available, but it is the first announcement from the State Department that the federal government will facilitate evacuations for U.S. citizens.

On Wednesday, President Trump signaled the possibility of joining Israel in its strikes on Iran.


"I may do it, I may not do it, nobody knows what I'm going to do," Mr. Trump told reporters when he was asked about whether the U.S. will get involved in the strikes on Iran's nuclear and military facilities.


Mr. Trump has called on Iran to surrender completely. But Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said his country won't surrender and warned the U.S. against military intervention.

Heaven help us. I'd say he is still posturing, like a peacock displaying all it's got. He's hoping the Iranians will resolve things with regime change. Will he give the go ahead? The problem is that he was obviously stung by the TACO jibe so he might not want to step back from the brink this time.
Trump isn't good at understanding the interconnectedness of things, the what ifs. It's all too complicated for him.

I don't understand why Trump is waiting he should just take out the Heavy Water and enrichment sites with MOP. I've seen various lefties saying tere is no evidence of bomb making, completely missing the point that there is ony one reason for enrichment in the percentages Iran is refining to and no amount of delaying will change their desired end state, they won't give up.

I can not disagree with any of this and yes the TACO meme really dug into his easily addled fragile ego.

I haven't really started, but it would be clearly a waste of time even trying to explain to someone such as yourself.

Correct, polite debate is not for Snubby. However we all know it’s the empty barrels that make the most sound.

^ Aww, Stubby is not completely empty...there is a bit in there, so he rattles a lot.

True, and Iran's leaders have publicly stated they want to obliterate Tel Aviv.

What do Looper and a Brisbane ballerina and a plastic scotsman gnome want Trump to do? Serious question.

give/sell israel a couple of their " bunker buster" mansize bombs and loan them the plane needed to carry it so they can destroy irans underground nuclear facility and put this war and the mullahs to bed.

Firstly look up the meaning of a plastic Scotsman. Having been born there and resided for 40 years I think you’ll find the derogatory term is reserved for your ilk. You know leaving Scotland at pre school age now in your 60’s and claiming some sort of affinity.

However in answer to your “serious question”what I would want Trump to do is take a leap from the top floor of the Trump tower whilst chewing down on an arsenic sandwich. It would be a bonus if he was holding your hand at the same time.

Correct.

the sooner irans nuclear threat is removed, the safer we will all be.

this war is also showing up the weakness of irans defence systems, as supplied by that other genocidal monster, putin.
the robust action taken by israel against irans nuclear facilities and senior military figures has humiliated the regime while highlighting the spinelessness of western leaders. it just needs trumps bomb now to finish the job.
the west has appeased and indulged the theocratic madmen of iran for decades.
a negotiating table with placemats for iran, dont be so fucking naive.

the world talks but israel acts.
