That's a sacrifice trump is willing to make; anything to distract from his name being all over the Epstein files. He might even award himself the Purple Heart in their names.

Trump’s Own Intel Agencies Say His Iran Claims Are Nonsense

U.S. intelligence experts believe that President Donald Trump’s claims about Iranian threats to the U.S. are vastly exaggerated.

Trump, the self-proclaimed “President of Peace,” launched a wave of missile strikes on Iran early Saturday morning, telling the public in a prerecorded address that the U.S. military had begun “major combat operations.”

The strikes, unauthorized by Congress and performed alongside Israel, are designed to stop this “very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests,” Trump, 79, claimed in the video message. “We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground.”

 

However, this argument, which he also peddled during his State of the Union address Tuesday night, is tenuous at best. While Iran has a vast arsenal of short and medium-range ballistic missiles capable of hitting Israel and U.S. military bases in the Middle East, it is years away from producing the intercontinental ballistic missile Trump warned of.

In an assessment from May last year, a month before Trump’s first strikes on the country, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) said it would actually take nearly a decade for Iran to produce such weaponry.

The report, titled “Current and Future Missile Threats to the U.S. Homeland,” stated that the regime could produce a “militarily-viable” intercontinental ballistic missile by 2035, “should Tehran decide to pursue the capability.”

 

 

Sources told CNN that any suggestion otherwise is false. No intelligence suggests Iran is building an ICBM program to hit the U.S. at this time, they said. Three sources confirmed that Iran currently has no interest in expanding its capabilities in this field.

Indeed, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview this week that Iran was not developing long-range missiles. “We have deliberately limited the range of our missiles to 2,000 kilometers,” he told India Today TV. He added that their short-range missiles are for defense.

Despite the lack of intel suggesting Iran has ICBMs and a mind to use them on America, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly responded to CNN’s reporting, saying, “President Trump is absolutely right to highlight the grave concern posed by Iran, a country that chants ‘death to America,’ possessing intercontinental ballistic missiles.”

 

 

He accused the Iranian regime of building missiles that “could soon reach the American homeland.”

Which raises another point.

This is the standard the US just set for Putin and others to follow:

 

 

DROP A BOMB ON THEM.  KILL THEM ALL.  HE IS EVIL.

 

 

DROP A BOMB ON THEM.  KILL THEM BOTH.  SHE IS EVIL.

 

 

DROP A BOMB ON THEM.   KILL THEM ALL.  HE IS EVIL.

 

 

DROP A BOMB ON THEM.  KILL THEM ALL.   HE IS EVIL.

 

 

I personally have no problem with the idea that Khamenei launched terror and horror all over the world for decades.  I have no problem with the fact that if we choose to blow the fuck out of lots of people and things in Iran, because we can, or because Bibi The Genocide Jew asks us nicely, Khamenei should be at the very top of the list. 

And I get it.  If his daughter and 14 month old granddaughter gotta be blown up too, that is just how The Shining City On The Hill rolls.  Fuck with us, and we'll take out your whole fucking family.  

I'm guessing it's possible some other country might decide Zelensky, or Sheinbaum, or Trudeau, or Trump is evil.

Zelensky in particular should be nervous.  I'm pretty sure Putin can figure out how to blow him up.  

I sure hope this is the America all Americans want to be.  Because, like it or not, this is who we now are.  There ain't no going back.

 

Khamenei's granddaughter urges international community to cut ties with Iran - video

 

"This regime is not faithful to any of its religious principles and does not know any rules except force and holding power," said Farideh Moradkhani, a well-known human rights activist, in the video

 

That's the one who was not blown up by Israel.  Kudos to her for speaking out for years, despite being the repeated victim of repression.  Still, I'm not sure her intent was to bomb a 14 month girl she's related to.

Again, I have no problem with the idea that Khamenei is an asshole and he deserved to die, if we want to go to war with Iran.  Did we actually want to go to war with Iran, though? 

And does anybody want to explain how killing one asshole ends a regime like this?  As far as I can tell, unless we want a boots on the ground slaughter like in Iraq, it may actually get worse for Iranians now.  The history of US (and other nation's) interventions like this is it usually opens a bloodbath.

Of course, Donald Trump himself says his Iran claims are nonsense.  Just months ago we destroyed all their nukes, he said.

Or not.  🤔

At least Trump is consistent.  Nothing he says is ever true, or involves a long term strategy.

Trump Spent Years Denouncing U.S. Intervention. Now He’s Toppling Foreign Leaders.

The operation in Iran marked a sharp reversal for a president whose political rise was fueled in part by American fatigue with regime change.

I wonder why this makes me think of the 15-year old student known as Nayirah who allegedly worked as a nurse and spoke before a Congressional Committee under oath about the atrocities committed by Iraq. These included stealing incubators for premature babies and letteing them die on the floor. This comment was made in 1990 immediately after the iraqi invasion of Kuwait and was in part used as one of the excuses to start the first Gulf War.

Two years later it turned out Nariyah was lying through her teeth, She had never been a nurse. In fact she was the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the USA at that time. She and her father were related to the Kuwaiti rulers. Her appearance berfoe Congress was later discovered to be part pf a major PR campaign organised by the PR company Hill & Knowlton. The head of Amnesty International accused President George Bush I of blatant and "opportunistic manilulation of the international human rights movement." Hill & Knwlton were alleged to have coached Nayirah in her testimony. Hill & Knowlton made sure the testimony was filmed and then sent to news organisations around the USA. Its campaign was later described as "corrupt, unethical and deceptive." It is estimated to have earned US$12 million for its efforts in the overall anti-Iraq campaign.

In the following weeks, Bush repeated her false claims no less then ten times. It also helped sway several senators and American public opinion in general in favour of the subsequent invasion of Iraq. 

Following the revelation of Nayirah's real identity (which begs the question, how did it take two entire years before anyone in the US administration found out?), there was outrage in the USA. Hill & Knowlton never apologised nor commented on the matter thereafter.
