It’s pretty simple. I’m sorry you can’t speak the Trump language despite him being the number 1 best seller for national news networks and internet rags for at least 11 years, so I will help you out. The “whole civilization” is cofveve for the regime, not the people.
Must protect!

Imagine if Sleepy Joe was talking about genocide, mocking other religions, and cussing on Easter.

That last part is where I'm struggling with these MAGA cultists. No self awareness at all. Trump has put us in a bad spot and now can't figure out what to do (that's why the 48 hour ultimatum on March 21 has extended until now).

For those new to politics, sometimes Trump(and even other politicians) use hyperbole.

From the citizens about to be wiped out:


Bigger issue than hyperbole is unclear goals. Now we are liberating 92 million Iranians? I thought this was about nukes. Those women with their flags won't topple the govt, I'm afraid to say. Gunther is insinuating we are about to liberate the Iranians. So I still don't get it.

Used way too much water then. Less now, but still too much, considering the limited resources available locally.

Similar to overdose numbers. Numbers are declining, but still too high.
But the "expert" told us overpopulation was the problem. Another day, another story.

Arizona has grown from 1.3 million to 7.6 million. A nearly 6-fold increase in people and yet water use is down during that time. Take your "expertise" elsewhere. You should seek a refund for your mis-education.

He said on Day 1 of Epic Fury in a message to the Iranian people that this would be their best and only chance for the foreseeable future to seize control of their future. Derangement clouds your memory apparently.

In case anyone cares about actual statistics. It all is arid in the Colorado river basin and those family ranches in Colorado rely on West slope Colorado river water like everyone else. Use in Utah is not necessarily better than use in Arizona. It is all arid use of water and 70-80% is for agriculture.​


StateApprox 2025 Use (MAF)
California~3.76
Arizona~1.9–2.0
Nevada~0.2
Colorado~3.0
Utah~1.0–1.2
Wyoming~0.6–0.8
New Mexico~0.4–0.6
👉 Total U.S. use: roughly ~10–12 MAF

Why are they waiting to take advantage of their opportunity out of that incredibly vague statement PJ? You gonna blame these ladies with their flags when you finally admit this was a failure? What happened to the 48 hour ultimatum on March 21st also? Nobody touching that? Seems a lot of people are all screwed up on following through.

We will see but I'd rather have Trump than obama or biden or george soros or whomever is controlling the Democrat party. Pray it ends without an invasion. Iran has been part of the axis of evil since Reagan. Maybe, just maybe Trump will fix it. The Dems will fight him tooth and nail. Strange times we live in.

The goals were clearly laid out.

The clearly defined objectives of Operation Epic Fury (launched late February 2026 under President Trump) were consistently articulated by Trump, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and other officials from the outset. These focused on a decisive, limited campaign to neutralize key Iranian threats rather than open-ended occupation or full regime change (though some statements referenced enabling the Iranian people to replace the regime). Core Stated Objectives (as repeatedly outlined)Officials listed them in near-identical terms across speeches, briefings, and White House releases:
  1. Destroy Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and production infrastructure: Eliminate the existing arsenal of deadly ballistic missiles and completely raze the missile industry and defense industrial base to prevent rebuilding
  2. Annihilate the Iranian navy: Sink or destroy naval assets and related infrastructure to eliminate its ability to threaten shipping (e.g., in the Strait of Hormuz) or project power.
  3. Sever support for terrorist proxies and end destabilizing regional activities: Ensure Iranian-backed groups (e.g., Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, militias) can no longer receive arms, funding, or direction to attack U.S. forces, allies, or destabilize the region and beyond.
  4. Prevent Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon: Dismantle nuclear capabilities and related infrastructure to guarantee no nuclear breakout, building on prior maximum pressure goals.
Trump summarized it early on (March 2, 2026): “Our objectives are clear. First, we’re destroying Iran’s missile capabilities… and their capacity to produce brand new ones… Second, we’re annihilating their navy… Third, we’re ensuring that the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon… And finally, we’re ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund, and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders.” Leavitt and others framed these as unchanging: destroy missiles and industry, annihilate the navy, neutralize proxies, and block nuclear weapons.

Was that ChatGPT? That looked really funky.

Anyways, the thing I was responding to was that Gunther moron insinuating that we were liberating Iranians as a goal as well. Why do people post random **** like that when that isn't even what is happening? Or is that a new added goal to top it off?

MIkey - maybe just maybe like the Nazis, Brits, Aussies, etc. a disarmed populace is easier to control? The regime killed 35,000 in the first quarter alone. Maybe Big Mike has the courage of those 35k to attack an armed force while unarmed. It's obvious the regime police state needs to be weakened, and the populace needs to be armed. Hopefully we reach that tipping point.

You obviously support Obama's red-lines and Biden's very clear "Don't" policy. How did that work out? Trump has killed how many regime leaders? Plenty more to go apparently and fortunately he isn't weak like Little Mike.

Speaking of morons, there are literally people that believe Trump is going to kill 90 million people. Smart.

His plan was very clearly laid out. You stated he had unclear goals. Hmm...

It would seem little Mike doesn’t appreciate that Iran has been killing Americans for 47 years in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, etc. They even humiliated Obama by seizing those naval personnel. We finally have a president who punched back and little Mike calls it a DA war.

Many Americans are like you Mike, they have zero appreciation for the people who are keeping them free and safe. I have no doubt you took the Covid vax because Joe and Dr Fauci said it would protect Mike.

Trump is taking care of what other Presidents didn’t have the intelligence or fortitude to do. Attack the head, not all of the fingers. You have no idea what the goals were. You claim there isn’t any focus, yet multiple posters have told you precisely what the plan has been. The military has thoroughly executed Trump Admin plans and rapidly. These have been well thought out and are clearly not fly by the seat of your pants. You voted for Trump, supposedly, yet anyone you disagree with is a “MAGA cultist”. You don’t want America to be a great nation and the world leader. You would rather let Iran’s mullahs get nukes and dirty bombs bare minimum and allow China to take control of currency and be #1 on the world stage, including AI, military dominance and rare earth metals/minerals, etc. Unfettered Globalism sucks. It hollowed out the middle class and our manufacturing base. Isolationism also sucks. As an isolationist, you want America to retreat from the world while China, Russia, and Iran with it’s support of terrorism to take over the Americas.

Trump got the Canal back from Chinese operations, China and Iran proxies were in Venezuela. Gone. Cartels are being fought by other countries in the Americas now. Cuba’s communist dictatorship is on its last legs due to Trump Admin actions. Our military has wiped out the best Chinese technology they sold Iran. Xi now understands the US has vastly superior weaponry to China. The invasion of Taiwan by the CCP is currently no longer a thing. What Trump has done is lay waste to China’s expansion plans. The entire world sees what US military muscle did to their weaponry. Supposed Trump voter hates MAGA and supports the Iranian regime despite them being at war with the US for 47 years. You don’t care if they get nukes. Truly bizarre.

And Mike!




@X22Report is not a credible source. Independent media bias and fact-checking organizations rate it as highly unreliable and in the conspiracy-pseudoscience category:
  • Media Bias Fact Check labels it a "strong Conspiracy and pseudoscience website with a far-right bias that promotes unproven claims."
  • Ad Fontes Media gives it an "Unreliable, Inaccurate" reliability score and "Most Extreme Right" bias.
It routinely promotes QAnon mythology (e.g., "Trust the Plan," "The Storm," "Great Awakening," "Patriots in Control," direct Q-drop references) while framing news as part of a secret battle against the "Deep State." Many of its core predictions (mass arrests, dramatic reckonings) have repeatedly failed to materialize.
The account and its host were deplatformed from YouTube, Spotify, and other sites in 2020 for spreading QAnon and related misinformation, though it remains active on X, Rumble, and its own site. Its own disclaimer admits content is "one man’s opinion" for "information purposes only" and advises consulting professionals for decisions. In summary, it functions more as conspiracy entertainment/propaganda than as reliable journalism or analysis. For factual information, stick to mainstream news outlets with transparent sourcing and editorial standards.

Almond farms are in California. Water works in the desert everywhere except you keep ranting about Arizona.

You apparently have ben living on a Rocky Mountain high to think Colorado is different. Eastern colorado is not water sufficient except for the Western rockies. What is your solution to your neighbors using lots of colorado river water for lawns. for illegal aliens. for whatever. your solution is to demonize Arizona. it is not different than Eastern Colorado.

Well aware that Colorado has outgrown its capacity. I’ve talked about how Colorado was not meant to have 6 million people, similar to Arizona with 8 million. Ranchers have had to cut back their herd and cut jobs. This is why I am discussing this stuff. BW said the cattle herds are decreasing because of Joey. He and others are missing the elephant in the room, it’s the water. The cutting of herds and jobs will continue this year, and costs will continue to go up. I’m sounding the alarm.

Lawns? I’m currently changing my lawn, as are many neighbors. Xeriscaping is pretty popular in my area (we are doing that now) as is artificial turf. Traditional grass yards are going away. So yes, I am doing what I can to help, but plenty are not. As you can see on this board, many don’t even recognize the issue as a problem. They just blame others for their beef prices going up.

Yep. And once again a blanket policy from the Federal government would garbage, as each area of our country has their own unique environmental issues and the solutions necessary may be quite different.

Yes, we need unique solutions in different parts of the country. Maybe incentives. Otherwise farms will continue to close, and prices will continue to go up.

Arizona’s population has grown by 580 percent yet its water usage has dropped. That is fantastic water management - something fake experts like you said just last week was the problem - too many people. Wrong. Go educate yourself. Unlike you, I don’t “trust the experts” - especially self proclaimed water experts whose profession is insurance salesman
