The All Things Political Topic - Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence

They should just lie and say that the hit was good and all is fine now. Else Trump gets the idea to send out another bombing run.

road are melting while usa deny the existence of global warming

just remember no matter what happen at middle east 

most of humanity are doomed anyway

[Gromnir]

the only positive we see from trump's predictable premature declaration that the iran sites were,  “completely and totally obliterated,” is that trump never admits he were wrong; he always doubles down.  now that trump has declared mission accomplished, how does he justify additional strikes w/o being confronted by the same people who triggered him with TACO and two weeks? 

update:

predictable double-down. so now what happens when there is increasing evidence that, "one of the most successful military strikes in history," failed to achieve the complete and total obliteration described? future bombing by the US or israel undermines trump's narrative, but the whole justification for the President authorizing an attack requires an imminent threat to the US and if the situation today is little different than before midnight hammer...

if only trump had taken our usual advice to be patient and wait for reliable info before making claims which could result in humiliation.

on the other hand, ~70% o' trump voters believe everything trump says, even when trump contradicts himself.

HA! Good Fun!

"The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.” "

Another 4th dimensional chess move, no doubt.

It still surprises me that we take seriously these types of Trump SM comments

 

We know he often says things on Truth that are just his ramblings or personal opinions and its often exaggerated or untrue 

The truth is the 3 sites were struck by the US " bunker bombs  " but we dont know the full extent of the damage 

I doubt they were obliterated  but damage was done and also this was the first time the US used these bombs in a war 

Here is the type of link I would reference around this but I wouldnt be concerned about anything Trump says on Truth unless its confirmed
