    Trump really has a puzzle on his hands with this Iran conflict. He knew how to get out of Viet Nam but this is different! :biggrin:

      It'd be funny if it wasn't all so horrific for those being bombed to bits, losing lives, loved ones, homes, livelihoods and the huge costs involved which could have been invested in improving lives, infrastructure and the environment @CanadianLori

        Really @Obelix-Vendée ?

        No one is allowed a sarcastic comment here?

        I'm not condoning the actions affecting the plight of these people. In fact I'm poking fun at Trump the aggressor.

        I am not unfeeling as you seem to insinuate and intend no meanness.

        That said, I'd advise you to select to ignore my posts to ease your discomfort. Easy peasy. :dbgrtmb:

        It wouldn't have been used on that though. Making weapons is very lucrative for the wealthy. Helping ordinary folk with services, etc, is not. Once you have made the weapons, you need an excuse to use these up ... so you can make some more. Then you fleece everyone with your rebuild contracts, whilst you bomb somewhere else.

          Well this morning: Trump says we are talking to Iran and have found someone we can do "business" with and Iran says we not talking to anybody meanwhile the war goes on.
          Question 1: can the person Trump claims to be talking to actually convince the other top Iranians to go along with the deal they arrange; or are they keeping quiet to preserve their own skin.
          Question 2: If the talks are making progress and the Iranians are desperate for a deal why is Trump shipping the 82nd airborne out to the Gulf to meet the marines arriving soon.

            The marines are going to get the special present Iran has given Trump, the one that he won't tell us what it is.

            I reckon it's his half of the strait of hormuz.

              Meanwhile Starmer is still WORKING on getting tankers though the Strait.

              He's been doing that for some time now apparently.

              Does anyone know what is actually going on. :scratch::biggrin:

                Trump now seems to be passing the buck to his 'Secretary for War', Hegseth. Implying that he was the one who wanted to attack Iran, not Trump. Trump was certainly claiming all the credit when he thought everthing would be over in a few days.

                  Trump seems to be becoming more and more strange, I think he's going to end up like Biden.

                  Really they need to find younger applicants for the job, too many geriatrics being put forward.
