“An overwhelming majority of the people [in the US] don’t want to get involved in any of this,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist in his first term, said on his War Room podcast shortly after the strikes.
Carlson said there was no justification for attacking Iran, adding there was “zero credible intelligence” to suggest it was “anywhere near” building a nuclear bomb.Leave a comment:

Gulf States Fear Escalation as US Iran Strikes Rattle Region
Iran’s Arab neighbors urged restraint and warned of potentially devastating implications for the region after US strikes on Tehran’s nuclear program raised the prospects for all-out war in the Middle East.
In statements on Sunday, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry condemned the violation of Iran’s sovereignty, Qatar warned it would have “disastrous consequences,” and Oman called it “illegal.” Those countries, and the United Arab Emirates, have spent months trying to use their geopolitical and economic heft to bolster nuclear talks between the Americans and Iran.
They spent the week since Israel launched an unprecedented attack on Tehran trying to keep the US from directly intervening. Saturday night’s bombings have shown just how much they are hostage to forces completely outside their control.
“I don’t think the Arab Gulf states have much control over the course of events at this stage,” said Hasan Alhasan, Senior Fellow for Middle East Policy at IISS in Manama, Bahrain. “There is no guarantee that any of the warring parties, Iran, Israel or the US, will take Gulf interests into account.”
In a press conference on Sunday, Iran’s foreign minister said he’d spoken with counterparts across the region the day before who were “worried about a possible attack by the United States.”
“Almost all of them are very much concerned and interested to play a role to end this aggression by Israel,” Abbas Araghchi said.
Within the region, there was evidence of growing disquiet, with people stockpiling supplies in the UAE and Kuwait. Meanwhile, British Airways halted flights to Dubai and Doha, two of the region’s economic centers.
It’s a stark contrast from just over a month ago when US President Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE on his first scheduled foreign trip since returning to office. There, he touted the potential for trillions of dollars-worth of trade and investments between the US and the Gulf.
Leaders are “forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos,” Trump said in the Saudi capital, “where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence. We don’t want that.”

Hareeballs gets joy from anything negative that happens or is perceived to happen in America or to America. The worst part, it doesn't matter if its true or not. As long as some people will actually believe it.
1.4 million are in the US who were given due process at taxpayer expense, who were ordered to be removed, are still on the country. 600,000 illegal aliens with criminal records walking the streets of the country. Biden was complicit in making that happen. The MSM saying "its only one apartment building in Colorado which is over run but Venezuelan gangs!" Only one.
Trump wants to the country safe from these criminals, the fentanyl deaths, the human trafficking, and the cartels. While Hareeballs will defend those who will harbour these criminals in sanctuary cities, politicians who will fly to El Salvador on behalf of an illegal criminal gang member human trafficker, and those who spend billions on people who aren't even supposed to be in the country.
Any person who supports politicians/democrats who fight as hard as they do for people who are illegally in their own country is a fuking asshole. There is no nice way of saying it.

In earlier times this would have earned an almost instant impeachment.
Sadly, America is no longer the America we once looked up to and admired as the bastion of true democracy.Leave a comment:

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him.
Trump simply has no idea what he has unleashed here.
Americans abroad, in particular, but also at home are going to suffer deadly attacks.
If before this there had been any doubt about who has been America's worst ever President, this absolutely seals it.Leave a comment:

Obama vacationed a grand total of FORTY-ONE DAYS over EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE with the highest estimates of cost to taxpayers being $105 million (TOTAL). And he didn’t spend them at properties he OWNED and personally profited from.
Trump spent 378 DAYS on VACATION IN ONE TERM!
