bust Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it only Congress who can approve this type of action which obviously has not happened The US has struck Iran's three nuclear sites, Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, amid an ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. US President Donald Trump has confirmed that B-2 stealth bombers were involved in the attack. A US official later confirmed bunker-buster bombs were dropped on the Fordow and Natanz sites, The New York Times has reported. Shortly after the strike, Mr Trump has threatened further attacks against Iran if the nation does not surrender, adding, "Remember, there are many targets left". https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-22/what-are-the-b-2-bombers-that-hit-iran-s-nuclear-sites/105446670 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 I wanted to step away from this for a while, but given your post and the below* I came across, I relay this article. Remembering that the motives for my antipathy to Donatella, are based in the now, very likely peril, he places the rest of the western world. ___ * During Donald Trump’s first run for president, the sentence “‘Idiocracy’ was a documentary” was a funny meme. In his first administration, that reference to the 2006 satire about a bleak anti-intellectual future became a well-worn cliché, losing its comedic punch. In his second administration, the movie actually feels so much like a documentary — and so little like satire — that it’s definitely not funny. We’re almost certainly at an inflection point in world history now that the United States has directly struck three Iranian nuclear facilities — officially joining Israel’s war, not merely supporting it, and potentially sparking a wider regional conflict. Trump — whose "America First" supporters have long praised him for "not getting America into any new wars" — has now unilaterally struck a sovereign nation without congressional approval. And though a small number of congresspeople are demanding the president seek the advice and consent of Congress, without a major, shocking reset of Republican priorities, Trump may continue making war on his own terms. Just as disquieting is the fact that this president — unstable, impulsive, immune to facts, incapable of admitting to a mistake or conceding a failure and currently running a lawless administration trampling on the rights of both Americans and immigrants — is being advised by incompetent, unqualified television personalities and admitted bigots. This is all happening just as the administration has gutted anti-terror programs and intelligence agencies in the name of fighting the “Deep State,” even as it has simultaneously tasked masked, badgeless secret police to brutally arrest both citizens and noncitizens with impunity. Those responsible for leading U.S. military and intelligence services are, respectively, a former Fox News co-host and a sympathizer of Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad. Try to imagine Pete Hegseth, whose department is reportedly in shambles, and Tulsi Gabbard as Cabinet members advising the president through something like the Cuban Missile Crisis. Worse, imagine such a world on the brink of nuclear war and some of the top thought leaders influencing Trump’s foreign policy are split between the self-described “proud Islamophobe” Laura Loomer and the ultranationalist MAGA ideologue Steve Bannon. Whether you grew up anywhere between the Cold War or the War on Terror, the idea of a hot war with Iran was always understood to be existentially risky. But it’s at these moments when expert opinion and rational analysis of data and intelligence are required. We don’t appear to have anything approximating that in the Trump administration. And as Joseph Cirincione noted on these pages last week, U.S. intelligence and military officials have warned for years of the potential consequences of a U.S. attack on Iran — which include Iran’s taking its nuclear program underground, racing to build a nuclear weapon to ward off (or avenge) regime change and attacking U.S. military targets in the Middle East. There’s also always the risk that a half-decapitated Islamic Republic, one of the world’s leading state sponsors of terror, retaliates with more lo-fi methods — say, a simple conventional bomb exploding in a major city’s mass transit system or a cyberattack that cripples air travel... ... Intelligence reports indicate Iran already has enough weapons-grade uranium to produce a nuclear weapon. And if the regime is as hell-bent on suicidal apocalypse as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims, why wouldn’t it attempt a nuclear terror attack if faced with its own demise? --- LINK Fran Lebowitz: 'You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Trump was in breech of U.S. Constitutional law on this one…on an international legal, he did “attack” a sovereign nation without provocation…now lets assume Tulsi Gabbard’s info was right and Iran is not close to having a nuke then wtf was the dump thinking..? But, and we have to look at this realistically, do we really want Iran to have a nuke and a delivery device with which to send it into Israel and or the USA Europe etc..? Remember, these are the fuckwits who want all non Muslims as well as some Muslims, to die…these are the people who say they want to die in a holy war so they can go to heaven get the virgins etc…so for me, no, I don’t want them to have 1. I don’t even like the idea that we have them, there are currently enough nukes around to destroy the world 100’s of times over, we don’t need anymore and the last thing we want is an unstable regime to have them…yes it includes the current unstable USA regime… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
