Iranian ship sunk by US sub. 1st time a torpedo has been used since WW2 by the US.  The MIC must have been upset that they didn't have to make as much.

All sides with any level of sophistication are also cranking up their LLM bots to pump out disinfo and propaganda. That’s just part of life now.
....
For those people who don't live on the internet,  here is what LLM is:

LLM commonly refers to a Large Language Model, which is a type of AI designed to understand, process, and generate text.

Acceptable exit strategies.

We got Bin Laden, time to leave A-stan.
We got Saddam, time to leave Iraq.
The US did neither.

Under Trump
We got Maduro, no need invade.
We got Irans leader, the next guy, the future candidates, etc...no need invade.

The problem is if he backs out now the markets will start crashing again.

So if Trump isn't doing anything illegal and justifying the attack with said War Powers act, why are they voting to repeal it?

Imagine if Killary didn't give Iran uranium.

Imagine if Barry didn't give them billions.

Imagine if Brandon didn't release their billions.

Would we be where we're at today?

On a tinfoil hat note, what if Maduro's capture was a plan to secure more oil.  THis had to be done before any strike on Iran.  And as it seems, Iran is only allowing China to use the strate.

What if this strike on Iran is to cripple China later?  There is no need to strike China at all due to their tofu dreg.  Their buildings will collapse on their own.

Trump is a business man. He knows how to leverage bankruptcy and hostile takeovers.

Trump is a business man.

And a pretty savvy one too.  You need to be shrewd to do business.  And I think this is why President Trump comes off many times as insensitive, inconsiderate, and callous in his remarks.

I think it's the business side of him.  There are no sugar-coating of words when doing business deals.

And I think this side of him is what spurs videos like this:

Done for Political posturing, accountability, and messaging, knowing full well even if passed, the President would have vetoed it.

In my opinion, a waste of time.  Again, done only with the mid-terms in mind and the hatred for the current POTUS.

Iran says it will no longer attack other countries. These were carried out by rogue commanders.

Shows u the level of competancy these commanders have.

It's actually pretty clever. They demonstrated to everyone in the region what they are capable of and that their forces are designed to continue fighting in the absence of central command.

Then it's "oops, sorry guys" but everyone still got the message

Just a reminder that these are Persians, not Arabs, and they've had decades to dig in and prepare.

I beg to differ. At risking going to war with another country by hitting civilian targets.

Nobody’s dumb enough to go to war with Iran except us

Edit: I still have hope that this is another Trump 4d chess move to destroy our real enemies and he’s not serious about sending in troops to the Mosaic Meatgrinder

I guess that whole Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) never happened? 

Iran under one name or another has been at war with other nations ever since 2600 BC.

I did the best I could on researching the US's next plan on trying to get Iran to "unconditionally surrender".

It seems like the US will try to be the first to bringing a nation to its knees by bombing the shit out of them by destroying the military infrastructure and using economic strangulation.

In other words, the US will burn Iran to the ground, sorry civilians, if you are in the way tough shit.

The IRGC and other regime organizations have already moved their operations into hospitals, schools, residential areas, and business districts.

Hegseth already said to attain victory, the US will not observe politically correct rules of engagements.

It is an extreme gamble.  They are hoping for a lay down of arms after they realize it is futile.  That is the preferred result of this air campaign.

The other very real possibility is the civilian losses caught up in these human shield scenarios will be so great the population will revert to the "rally around the flag" nationalistic mindset and boom, another anti-US Iran is born out of the smoke and ashes.

Think about it.  Right now Iran's military might is around 1 million armed people in various organizations.

They may lay down their arms but who knows what lays in the hearts of men.  Hint. Hint.  Iran has lied before. :rofl:

Do you think posting a follow-up sentence means you can leave the original false statement unedited and pretend it's true?

"Mosaic" has a few meanings, so if you don't offer any context or definitions, how would anyone reading your opinions interpret it the way you intended? 

No matter what you meant, it doesn't change the first sentence -- the one I commented on -- in the slightest.

Quote
Mosaic politics refers to a political framework that emphasizes the
coexistence of diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups within
a society, encouraging each group to maintain its unique identity
while participating in the broader political landscape. This concept is
often contrasted with assimilationist approaches, such as the "melting
pot," and is particularly associated with multicultural policies.
