USA News and Poland - part 19

....I dunno if the Epstein files are enough to bring the saudi crown to beg the US to go to war in the ME.....I truly have my doubts, sorry!


....hmmm.......lets see:

1.) Epstein files
2.) bad polls
3.) Trumps dementia


Wouldn't that mean that "big bad dumb dement" Trump truly cares more for the iranian people than all the oh-so-moral rest of the World?

I would have nothing against that reason, btw.....its just that I learned yesterday from a iranian-german journo that there have been altogether now four (4) such kinds of uprisings of the iranian people....and all were beaten down brutally by the Mullahs, with an heavy deathtoll to pay by the people...and nobody cared!

So...what changed NOW?

What are you talking about? I mentioned Epstein files in connection to why Trump would choose to launch an attack on Iran now. It has nothing to do with why Saudi's would want an attack on Iran.


That's because you're Trump's fan and you have trouble with assigning any ulterior or petty motives to his actions :)


It's multiple factors. The protests in Iran created an opportunity for a regime change. And since there's an opportunity Trump decided to seize it to distract people from what's going on at home in the US - Epstein files, economy, problems with ICE, etc. Trump's ratings are low so he wants to have some big success before the midterms. I think those are logical conclusions based on how politics work.


*sigh*

Trump is desperate for a "big, beautiful success."
He isn't delivering at home, so he turns to "an outside source" for glory.

It was the same with Putin and his invasions. Whenever his ratings would go down he would invade some country and his ratings would go up.

I know Paulina....all your reasons are very US-centric and don't explain the news of the Saudis begging Trump, thats the thing!

Its just that this development is really interesting and draws a kind of different light on all events....

But we will most probably learn about the real reasons only when its all over.....have to leave for now, till tomorrow!

*waves*

Because it's up to the US if they attack another country or not. Duh...


Why do you think that? I think I've explained the logic behind that enough already.

I'm guessing the Saudis were lobbying for Trump to launch an attack, because they knew he's that kind of president who would be ready to do this. Especially now that Trump isn't doing well in polls and he needs some kind of significant success to write home about.


Not really and I'm not sure why you put so much weight on the Saudi's involvement... 🤨

@Paulina
You're back again! LOL

What do you think youre accomplishing with your daily meltdowns against Trump?

Nobody in the USA cares what some foreign Karen thinks. What a waste of time, go outside get some fresh air dummy.

Do you support Trump now? Will you vote for Vance?

1. The fact that you don't like what I write doesn't mean it's a "meltdown." Do you even know what this word means? lol Because it doesn't look like it.
2. Could you explain to me why you're so bothered that I post in this thread? Other PFers share their thoughts, opinions and observations here on regular basis, more often than I do. So why do you only question my right to post on a forum about Poland?
3. I don't post "daily" on this forum. I only posted yesterday and today. Before that I wasn't writing on PF for a month.


You clearly care enough to want me to stop sharing my thoughts :))))


How about you take your own advice? Maybe you will really stop caring what I think if you touch some grass lol

Now, could you stop talking about me all the time and focus on the subject of the discussion in this thread? :)


And I'll be back tomorrow too if I feel like it! Deal with it! 😎

Do we have estimates about how much this little adventure will cost the USA daily (in terms of military expenditure)?

Who cares? They can afford it, even if they run out of credit and money, they can always sell Joker, he will help them count money.

The cost is great, but what experts say really matters is the "magazine depth" - that is, how many interceptors and precision missiles the US and Israel have remaining.

It takes literally more than a year, to replenish what they are firing in a day.

Last year's 12 Day War, apparently resulted in serious reductions in stockpiles.

Yesterday, on a call to the NY Times, Trump blurted out that military planners had expected a maximum of 4-5 weeks of sustained action.

Iran is using its cheapest and most numerous systems over the past two days, in order to exhaust Israeli and American air defense systems. Yet it's still hitting highly defended sites.

In the chaos, the Americans have shot down 3 of their own fighter jets today (F-15s). That's some kinda Russian level of mess...

A Shahed drone struck an important American communication uplink facility in Bahrain. Numerous experts came out to say that it's very concerning, that after 4 years of war in Ukraine, that America does not know how to deal with Shaheds - which are essentially radio controlled toy planes.

Keir Starmer said they will be leveraging know how from Ukraine, to help bolster their defenses in the Middle East.

-//-

So if Iran is learning from Russia, about what works in Ukraine, then it may try to force the Americans and Israelis to come back to the negotiating table after they run out of missiles.

-//-

On a separate note - Trump and Hegseth have been going after Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing and others all of last year because they were not producing as many missiles as they wanted (and instead were directing profits towards share buybacks).

Now we know why Trump and Hegseth wanted more weapons, and faster.

Here's a nice little write up from the Washington Post, below.

Mood in Pentagon and Trump Administration is "intense and paranoid", as anxiety grows that air defense missiles will run out.

Hey! Don't forget about Zelensky! He's waiting for his Patriots too!

Poor Ukraine...

I read that Iran had tried to invoke their joint security arrangements with North Nigeria but that assistance had been refused because it was not a war, just a joint special operation or whatever ? Is that true or just a romour ?

Sure. But it will be interesting to eventually compare the costs of this little adventure to the aid given under Biden to Ukraine.

A missile hit a sports hall and killed 20 young female volleyball players in the city of Lamerd in southern Iran. This information was confirmed by International Volleyball Federation and in response they created FIVB Humanitarian Task Force. Missiles hit also two residential buildings. The estimate is that around 100 people got injured:

😢

I'm trying to think through a scenario that this ends up NOT being the moment America becomes like former European world powers.

I've come up with nothing so far.

What a effing disaster.

Not Americans, Kuwait's air defenses shot them down:

independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/f15-jets-kuwait-crash-friendly-fire-b2930110.html

It's clearly chaotic though...

These are the defense planes that fell with the aim of guarding Kuwait's airspace.

For a long time, America has not used the F15 in serious missions precisely because it is outdated for any serious anti-aircraft systems.

Their problem was here that the defense had to be coordinated with the kozojebi from Kuwait who were given anti-aircraft defenses and they don't know how to operate them nor do they have the capacity to be trained. A kozojeb in an expensive tunic is still a kozojeb and the result as a consequence of generational marriage of close relatives and first cousins.

The Kuwaitis have wrecked & destroyed half of their squadron.

An ally with a negative output. 😁

Bro - you know I'm not some internet goon...

This was a big mistake.

A very big mistake.

For the last four years, the US has ramped up production of all arms. Most of which has not gone to Ukraine. Not worried at all about them running out. Stockpiles in the middle east are still quite large as well. This was 47 year in the making and long over due. These towel head fvcktards need to be taken out.

Really? here little something for you:

@Ironside

These guys don't understand.

You are wasting your time.

Happy gulag, towel head b*tches?

The spiritual descendants of Ali... and Hussayn - will show them - why - even when defeated you stay stronger than the world.

Peace be upon Husayn.
Peace upon the son of Ali.
Peace upon the son of Fatima.
We stand with him against injustice,
In life and in death.

I feel sorry for the Persians. They have always been friendly to Poland, never acknowledged partitions, gave refuge to over 100,000 Poles during WW2.

The noble spirit of old Persia is still there, invincible... neither by home-grown religious fanatics nor outside aggressors. They are one of those countries, alongside Russia and Poland, who can never be truly defeated. May God protect them and punish those who drown in heresy of Protestant Zionism and those who usurp for themselves the name of Israel which, after Christ, belongs only to the Church.

Amen.

Strength and clarity to the faithful.

@Bobko
To add to this... I want to add that many special operators in Syria and Iraq (unofficial cover), and other places - all were majorly impacted by Persian prayers.

The way Persians pray - it makes you want to confront the almighty himself - and give answers.

It's not just, "work" - but a spiritual experience being next to these people.

The below would be funny - were it not so sad:

The New York Post reported that the president had said in an interview on Monday: "I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground - like every president says, 'There will be no boots on the ground.' I don't say it."

Enjoy - PolAm, Joker, and everybody else.

You can't make this sh*t up, it's just outta this world.

Sure, good point.. Just like in 1939, the Germans claimed they believed Poland was preparing to launch a preemptive attack on Germany, so they argued they had no choice but to strike first.
