"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? 

I just wanted to gauge if you have any awareness of the strategic situation beyond the basic crayons and glitter propaganda and that’s clearly not the case

Here’s a decent strategic breakdown from Data Republican

https://open.substack.com/pub/datarepublican/p/data-analysis-of-the-state-of-the

I don’t agree with many of the conclusions but it lays out some good points, including the fact that a ground war is out of the question

Something else worth mentioning:

Oil companies were hesitant to invest in Venezuela, but now they kinda have to. If the Middle East takes years to fully come back on line all that demand has to go somewhere. We might have just out gangstered Putin and Xi

So Iran is saying they captured 40 Delta operators....

They also claimed and posted a pic of a downed B2 that has it's landing gear down while on the sand and a huge gash in it....

Multiple social media people reposting said propoganda.

Also, social media people posting about a draft.  Copy/paste.  I have 2 friends who posted it and not as a repost.  It states "drafting my son".  1 doesn't have kids and the other has a daughter.

At least some other friends have edit the copy/paste post and added "drafting family/friends".

But neither above realize the draft hasn't happened since Vietnam or women don't get drafted (daughter).  And that drafts don't start till after a war began, not in the early phases or during non-wartime.

Some humor in what's going on. Iran is attacking Kuwait.  I mean, Kuwait has downed 3 F15's, which is far more than Iran has.  doh!

Looks like we are going to pull out and leave the whole region in conflict

This operation is costing us 1 billion dollars a day.

And Iran has elected Khamenei's son as the new supreme leader.  He was reportedly injured in the initial attacks, and it was also reported that his wife and one of his children were killed.

When talks of this might happen, President Trump stated that this would be unacceptable to him and that he wants to be involved in picking Iran's new leader.

And naturally, Iran has shown exactly what they think about President Trump's statements.

1 billion dollars a day to replace a Khamenei with a Khamenei.  And I'm pretty sure his "love" for the US is unprecedented.

Can't make this shit up.

Blaming the now-unavoidable market crash on sleeper cell terror attacks so they can still win the mid terms while making the dems look like traitors: Priceless

I would say it's more like regime muslims in Iran want a regime muslim type leader.  The citizens who want freedom like how they had in the 70's want a freedom loving leader.

Trump today states Operation Epic is ahead of schedule of the 4-6 week timeline.  So pau already.

On a side note, Iran states they will activate sleeper cells in the US soon. Which means, they drew first blood.

I wonder if joe biden got a Thank You note from Iran for making the establishment of sleeper cells a smooth and quick transition.

The thank you note probably had a P.S.:  The checks in the mail........ :thumbsup:

Sometimes I think Trump goes too far, but then I remember they tried to execute him on national tv and he's our last hope of getting rid of communism without a civil war.

Ain’t life strange?

It appears he was the only kinda guy who could not just survive their all-out attempts to destroy him, but actually come back to humiliatingly defeat them politically, and then begin ripping their tentacles out of our lives and pockets.

Never would have believed it - especially after his first four years.

All you say above is true - let us pray he actually pulls it all off.

This shows what a real leader is.  He keeps taking hits and still is efffecient.  Anyone else would have folded.  He gave up his luxary lifestyle for America.  That's why they're doing what they do to him, to show anyone else who wants to do the same down the road, they will make their life a living hell if they're not perfect.

Anybody else feel all we did was kick the can down the road?  (again) ::)

I say this while these two facts remain:

1)  Iran's military ability to strike other countries and make a nuclear weapon has been destroyed.

2)  Iran has selected their new leader.  The deceased supreme leader's son.  Who was wounded in the initial air strikes and which the same strikes killed his wife and son.  Whose leadership doctrine mirrors his father's and some say in many ways more extreme.

You put those 2 fact together and you get:

Iran re-builds, still pursues the nuclear weapons and the US does the same thing 5 years or so down the road.  Rinse and repeat.  With another hundreds of billions of dollars that we can't afford and truthfully don't have.

And here's another twist:  If the US elects another biden or hyena we won't have "special military intervention".

We'd be giving them money....... :wave:

That's the usual way things go: make work for the MIC by blowing things up and then handing out contracts to "rebuild" them.

This time it feels different, like Trump is trying to provoke Iran into activating it's American sleeper cells and stoke Middle East conflict

A market crash and sky high commodity prices could be blamed on a the ensuing chaos, but the Democrats would get called out for not only letting in the terrorists but also actively supporting them.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I just hope it's not us who gets a taste of Persian vengeance.

Yep, and John Kerry is still around.

They’ll just dust off his knee pads and send him off again with a pallet of cash - unless Obama shoves him out of the way to go instead.

I want my President to keep the pressure on.  I want him to use Green Berets.  This is what they are trained for.  "De Oppressor Liber".  They specialize in helping those oppressed to rise up and make change.

Arm them.  Feed them.  Give them hope.  Courage.  Desire.  Determination.  Right now they have nothing.

Green Berets helping them.  Giving them confidence and the will to fight and all of the above. 

Frankly that's what I thought was going to happen.

I was thinking the US is going for the complete overhaul.  Not a fuckin oil change.

Some from the Iriaian womens soccer team granted asylum in Australia after a game.  They refused to sing the Iran anthem .  Interesting enough, in an interview of the 5, all have removed their hijabs. 

Trump tweeted about how AU should take them in, and if not, the US would.  AU said OK shortly after.
