Iran..

More purging. But to be expected as Hegseth associated with vomitus.

Quote:

Donald Trump's top Army general has abruptly resigned as Pete Hegseth pushes to demote his command and purge the Pentagon's senior ranks, sidelining top officers with little explanation.

General Chris Donahue, 56, will step down as head of US Army operations in Europe and Africa, with his retirement expected to be announced as soon as Wednesday

Quote: Gandler

It is beyond pathetic how we are looking in this whole ordeal...

Trump making himself look beyond pathetic, and sadly he holds the office of President, so he's soiled that.
That trump took and holds that office makes your 'system' of government look deeply flawed.... Pathetic is a harsh word.

And that makes the collective American electorate look pathetic.

Some of you Left leaning Americans look impotent and subjugated by a cult that has no place existing in a civilised educated country.

But for true pathos..... Look to his apologists.

And yes. The UK admin looks pretty pathetic too, just lately.

Its tough
Rural America has a clear political advantage
It goes in cycles
We are the country that elected Obama and gave him 8 years
Right now the cycle is changing
Trump is damaging the Republican party in ways I thought were unimaginable
A complete implosion with the entire Republican party complicit 100%

USA kicking ass in world cup
WTF is up with England.
I'm watching all the games

While I do not agree with Sam Harris's proposal, his evaluation of the situation is pretty excellent.

Well strikes against Iran resumed about an hour ago in retaliation for Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship yesterday.

No official word if the MOU or ceasefire is still in effect

How could it be in effect if hostilities have commenced yet again?

Time to fish or cut bait: either level Tehran or get the hell out.

Levelling Tehran would not end it: Just stir up more trouble.

trump needs to honour his signed surrender doc.... and accept the consequences.

Or he could just get more people and US military killed and have them accept the consequences.

The current stalemate works well to keep the trump files out of the news.

trump is incapable of resolving the war he started. Someone else needs to take his hands off the tiller and at least try to get control.

Do you think Russia and China aren't just waiting with bated breath to exploit this?

Its never gonna end till Trump and Republicans lose power
Trump needs to back off and withdraw
He can't bring himself to do that because it will make him look weaker
He would rather make the American people suffer with higher prices then look weaker
The Republican party is totally behind his policies that are hurting all Americans
It will soon be just hard core MAGA and Soopoo that still think the Dems are worse then an entire party supporting an unnecessary war hurting all Americans

Why not ramp it up and destroy Iran?

They'll always be a reall PITA, a hemorrhoid on the asshole of the world.

See ya Persia...

Short of nukes
Its impossible to destroy huge mountainous Iran
Iraq tried to destroy Iran for 8 long years
Unlike the USA, they were all in. Boots on the ground, chemical weapons unleashed.
Stalemate.
The USA is unwilling to go all in = stalemate
Stalemate = higher gas prices and higher inflation
Im rooting for Iran to make it into the next World Cup round
Go Iran
