"This is Not a Dress Rehearsal": U.S. Engaged in Massive Military Buildup as Threat To Bomb Iran Grows

It is about controlling the straight of hormuz for the usa and to crush any resistance to the greater israel plan for Israel

Its never been about anything Iran is doing. They have never had a nuclear weapons program.

It's over resources since forever.

I really hate how prophetic the movie Wag the Dog was.

The American invaders versus the Persian defenders. A full scale bombardment.

what's new after iraq?

They just need to channel the power of ahura mazda and send in the Immortal regiment.

Europe outsourced their militarism to the US for 40-60 years.

Who would stop this? As in, who has the forces to do so?

Russia and China have been sending military aid to Iran. China has also cut the US off from rare earths supplies which is affecting American military production. Clearly that hasn't been a sufficient deterrent though.

And there's really nothing that can be done in terms of international law because the US simply ignores it.

Obviously neither Russia nor China want to have a direct military confrontation with the US either. That would be WW3, and likely lead to a nuclear holocaust.

So, it seems like a war on Iran is unavoidable at this point.

Eh, it's Iran. Most of the world hates them, so good luck gathering support.

Sadly both sides are eager to attack Iran 😭 😭 😭.

Reminder Schumer started taco trump because Trump was hinting he may be soft on Iran not for anything he does to the America

That would mean an actual declared war, which would bring Russia and China in.

Also getting his Nobel peace prize aaaany minute now.

Wdym, he's already doing the civilian bombing and random country attacks.

Does he really need a war to get full presidential when already the embodiment of what's wrong with America?

both the epstein files and gaza shows how cartoonishly evil the ruling class is; so this tracks. lol

Its not a legion but a "Bored of Peace"

Eventually, there will be a draft. Unfortunately, they’re probably smart enough to do it by Zip code, meaning it will be another Vietnam: a war of the poor and the not-white.

epstein's effective lottery wins and the fact that such a large number of lottery winners had ties to the government proves that they're capable of doing this.

that's just a ukranian thing. lol

pizza index is really quiet right now, but the AFB i live by is tense. my money says next week.

I was just gonna say to look out for those suspicious anonymous 300k+ bets from high rollers

Maybe, but they're also aware of that now.

It would cost the CIA couch change to bet 300-400k every weekend that Trump is going to attack just to get the Iranians in a panicked frenzy only for it to not happen. If it prevents even a single US fighter from being shot down by wearing them down with false alarms it would be worth it to place and lose bets like that every weekend for a year on end.

So maybe, but also the US could rig that for nothing, they wouldn't notice it or need to pass a bill to afford it.

This is a problematic framing. While Trump personally may want to distract from the Epstein files, the media itself is doing a great job burying them without him by frothing at the mouth about that news anchor lady's mother getting kidnapped and doing wall to wall breathless coverage on that while talking zero about the Epstein files.

Also Lindsey Graham and other neo-cons including John Bolton have wanted to regime change Iran since at least the beginning of the George W. Bush administration and constantly inveighed for it. Rubio is very much of that faction and the US interests are broadly served by seizing control of global oil supply. They already took out the head of Venezuela and subordinated control of their oil to the US. They need only take out Iran and having already gotten Europe to not use Russian oil they'll control oil flows globally in a way that lets them inflict pain on China (even with Russia stepping in to supply China some oil it's not enough for its needs).

This is part of a grand geo-political strategy of maintaining hegemony that has little to do with Trump. Nancy Pelosi, has applauded applying pain to the Iranian people to try and get them to overthrow their government. It is in the interests of the US and the zionist entity known as "israel" to destroy Iran's current government even without the oil due to their presence as a regional power not on the US/"israel" side (the oil just makes it more appealing and serves even more objectives).
