So your meme where a guy shakes his head 'no' means you were agreeing? Is that an IC trick?
THAT's the lesson of conventional thinking that many conventional thinkers have drawn.
However, conventional thinking is not adequate in dealing with an apocalyptic Islamofascist regime whose slogan is Death to America - and who desire to achieve that slogan with a nuclear attack to fulfill their deranged religious beliefs.
You should be thanking Trump- your vehicle that used to hold $40 in gas now holds $65- soon to double.....

How many nukes do they have again? How many years have they been "about to have one"?
Just following the lead of the CIC/POTUS that discounts US intelligence.
Really? What do you think the Iranian thought process is then?
The one I outlined is the same path followed by Israel, Pakistan and North Korea. They sought nukes to shield/use MAD them from other nuclear enabled enemies. I believe Iran is seeking to have or be perceived as having nukes as an deterrent on Israel.
There's an Instagram video floating around where some MAGA guy is bragging that his truck used to hold $70 worth of gas, now it holds $129 worth!
That's literally the famous John Cusack "loss for words" gif...it's not a yes or a no.
They didn't even have an active nuclear weapons program.
They did have a nuclear program, but the idea that they were even a year or so away was ludicrous.
Why would the Vice President of the United States argue against military action behind the scenes (as has been reported many times) if they really were weeks away from a nuke? If Iran got a nuke on his watch he would be primaried In 2028.
Why would the neocon/neoliberal hawks in the intelligence community say Iran was a decade away from being a threat to the USA? That goes against every incentive they have.
And how were they weeks away from a nuke? We blew up the equipment and facilities they would need to refine the uranium and as far as I understand killed many of the people associated with the program. Even if the uranium dust wasn’t buried under tons of dirt it isn’t like they have the facilities to refine it. One doesn’t just buy a new centrifuge at Home Depot.
Face it: Trump had to have been trapped/hoodwinked by Bibi.
Sorry, I literally don't keep up with the meme community, AK.
I wish you had provided this inside info sooner.
Would you favor attacking them if they did have an active nuke weapons program - or an appeasement approach where we send them planeloads of cash?
Look up the "Twelver Shia apocalyptic theology" that predominates in the IRGC et al, and report back your findings.
Would you favor attacking them after they have a nuke, or never, Mr. Chamberlain?
not sure how you know this, but according to ai. it takes years to get from 0-60...."Enriching uranium from 60% to 90% is a relatively small technical step compared to the initial stages of enrichment. 1 While it sounds like a large jump, approximately 99% of the work required to create weapons-grade uranium has already been completed by the time it reaches the 60% level"
The Iranian negotiators told ours that they have enough 60% for 11 bombs. So they might not have been as far away a you think
As I said above, the fact they had the uranium doesn’t mean they have the equipment and people to make a bomb. Why would JD Vance argue against the war if they were so close? Why would the US intelligence committee say they were years away from having a bomb?
I just don’t buy it. Our intel community and Vance were against the war and the reporting is that Trump had a “gut feeling” which is why went went forward.
Trying to ascribe logic to Trump’s gut is a perilous path for logically minded folks to walk.
Is
I try to avoid propaganda of all types and just use logical thought. Is it similar to Christian fundamentalism hoping for Armageddon?
If they have a nuke and attempt to use it on us, I'd turn the whole country to glass. Period. But they don't and they haven't. AND we've been spending Billions and Billions in the past couple of months for a whole bunch of nothing.
Logical thought without information has limitations.
Not similar at all. Twelver Shia psychopaths believe they should work to bring about an apocalyptic event that will usher in the coming of the 12th Inman, Mahdi.
"Mahdism poses a serious, though vastly overlooked, threat to international security, primarily because its current articulation in Iran requires its adherents to take “proactive” steps to help usher in the Mahdi — most notably by initiating an “apocalyptic” showdown with the “greater” and “lesser” satans, namely, America and Israel."
Mahdism: The Apocalyptic Ideology Behind Iran's Nuclear Program - Middle East Forum
When did Trump lie ... when he claimed we obliterated their nuclear program, or when he unilaterally got us into a war, supposedly because we hadn't obliterated their nuclear program and they were only months away from having a nuke?
It's nothing like trying to bring about Armageddon, it's trying to bring about an apocalyptic event. See, different A terms. not similar at all.
that's Ok, I don't know any more about the background of this war than anybody else on the board does.
I'm just pointing out that it's not necessarily years to get to 90% from 60% ...and you can make a bomb at 60%...
Could they have made a bomb that would've threatened the US in that timeframe? There was not an imminent threat to the US as stated by our own intelligence agencies. The justification used by the current administration was just another lie.
The smug was quite high back then. We were on the verge of world peace, $1 gas, low grocery prices, the genius Elon was going to make the government efficient and eliminate our debt, and we would finally be getting justice for the Epstein victims. Simply by voting for Trump.
Granted, the left was telling people "No this is crazy; he's not going to do any of this" but what does the left know about running the country?
It's not like the US economy consistently does better under their watch or anything like that.
I agree if they had unfettered access to the right equipment and people it would actually be a matter of weeks. Except we destroyed all the equipment and a bunch of the people.
If you believe Trump‘s gut over professionals whose job it is to assess damage (DIA) then you might be in a cult. Now you don’t seem as deep into the cult as some others. You are close to the truth. Open your eyes, use some logic and put down the kool aid. You can do it big guy, I believe in you.
Sounds similar to a lot of the psycho evangelicals with ties to the administration trying to usher along Armageddon
I have no idea if Iran could build a bomb with the enriched uranium that have in hand. I doubt anyone on the board who is saying either "yes" or "no" has no idea either. For all any of us know they've already got bombs, or they might not have 60% enriched uranium.
Every post so far on this topic comes from "experts" on either MS NOW, CNBC or FOX. And all they know is what somebody wrote for them to read.
clear eyes...but I'm not sure of point you're making. Trump says we've destroyed the equipment...but do you put 100% stock in what trump says? I don't. On DIA, I honestly have not seen or read about their assessments. If you have data to share I'd love to see it. I also think Israel has a good assessment, but they also have an agenda, which might influence their conclusions.
Here are q couple links below, but honestly I would recommend you ask AI to do a summary of the reporting…that will be the quickest way to get the full picture. There was a ton of reporting out there that Iran was not an imminent threat and nowhere close to 2 weeks away from having a nuke. There was reporting on two fronts:
- Iran was several months to years away from being able to build a weapon if they even had the equipment post Fordow last year
- Iran was about 9-10 years away from being able to threaten the US homeland with an ICBM
Final point: there were far better ways to counter the Iranian nuclear threat than what we did. Another Fordow style bombing run would have worked I’m sure. We could have continued down the negotiation path. And we sure as **** should have engaged Congress, the American people and our (increasingly former) allies on the need for this costly war.

You are correct, psycho is the correct description for Riveting.
Oh for effs sake. You just believe whatever you're told by Trump and crew. I get it. Maga cult.
