Did Trump mean rain or rein? Who knows, but Hell is coming. 
Please note that everything in the lead image in bold is a direct quote of Trump, pieced together over time.
Hell Will Rein Down
Truth Social: Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J. TRUMP
“Glory Be to God” for Hell
You have to admit that concept has a catchy ring to it.
And we will find out what hell reigning down means in 48 hours or less.
War or Excursion
I apologize for my headline because we are not at war. Iran is but we aren’t. So I should have said “Threatens to escalate excursion” not war.
Trump clarified that yesterday.
Reporter: You said that this is a small excursion, and you also said that this is a war, so what’s the deal?
Trump: It’s both. It’s an excursion that will save us from war, and the war will be, uh, for them, it’s a war. For us, it turned out to be easier than we thought.
It’s an excursion to save us from war, but it’s a war for them.
Hopefully that clarifies matters.
Easier Than We Thought
I am sure glad this was easier than we thought.
However, I happen to recall this excursion was going to end in a few days.
Now we are threatening “all Hell will reign down on them” within 48 hours. That’s the second time Trump has repeated that threat.
It seems to me that if you are threatening Hell if Iran does not open the strait, this was much harder than these fools thought.
The Iran excursion started February 28, 2026. That was 35 days ago.
We have had five weeks of excursion. That’s how easy it has been. Trump has also stated on numerous occasions the war (sometimes he uses the word war inaccurately) will be over in 4-6 weeks.
So, I presume one week of Hell ought to do it, “Praise be to God”.
Who Decides When the War Ends?
Iran does, not Trump.
As long as Iran can retaliate, Iran has a say in the war.
Trump has not figured that out.
Then again, Trump says “the war is already over, Iran just doesn’t know that yet.”
Because Iran doesn’t know that yet, we need Hell to rein down first.
What Else Doesn’t Iran Know?
Iran does not know that it is defenseless and that it has already had a regime change.
We Have a Regime Change Nobody Thought Was Possible
“A regime change has occurred.” And “We have a regime change nobody thought was possible.”
How Is That Regime Change Working Out?
I am pleased to report Trump says “Negotiations are going extremely well”
The Biggest Problem Is Trump
“All Hell Will Rein Down” Iran Progress to Date
“Negotiations Are Going Extremely Well” with “Defenseless Iran“, thanks to a “Regime Change” that “No One Thought Possible“. Unfortunately, we need to “Bomb Iran Back to the Stone Age” anyway. So, in 48 hours “All Hell Will Rein Down” on Iran to “End the War that Is Already Over“, in “Four to Six Weeks” that has now lasted 5 weeks already, and was initially expected to be over in days, and has been declared “Over” many times. This is necessary because defenseless “Iran Doesn’t Realize the War is Over”. Best of all, please don’t forget “When Oil Prices Go Up, We Make Lots of Money.“
“Glory be to GOD!”
Any questions?
I hope not. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump has gone insane and is a war criminal. The Axis of Epstein must get its ass kicked before there can be any peace.
Meanwhile Trump’s voters continue to cheer on Trump’s great liberation of the world from its remaining moral values.
The world is over Trump! Trump is losing it because his threats, gaslighting, and chronic bullying are losing impact. He has no “Plan B.” He will continually become unhinged and lash out at everything and everyone while his poll numbers plummet and the likelihood of Democrats taking the House back climb toward 100%. He knows that he will be impeached again, he knows that he will not be able to build his ballroom, arch monument, and that all his EOs will end up soon being reversed.
Trump has no plan B because Israel has no plan B.
Trump is like a marionette on a string.
Trump‘s 48 hours are up tomorrow … if he decides to escalate the world economy will eventually crash … is he compromised by Israel or is his ego in the way … we will find out shortly …
Both.
“I support the president’s actions taken in defense of American lives and interests,” wrote first-term Sen. John Curtis in an opinion piece published by the Desert News. “However, I will not support ongoing military action beyond a 60-day window without congressional approval.”
Trump is definitely in war criminal territory at this point.
Trump was a war criminal with the first action against Syria.
Yes, but under what jurisdiction?
America thinks that it is above the law – just like other non-signatories to the ICC including Israel and Iran.
Would be great to see a warrant from the ICC meaning that he effectively couldn’t travel anywhere.
Trump voters, he got you again! What are you going to do about it?
Wait for oligarchs to present you with a few more betrayers in the next primary? That’s what Democrat voters do. How do you plan to distinguish yourselves?
(Proper nouns here are interchangeable.)
They’re going to bend over and take it again, and they and everyone else know it

Global approval of China surpassed the U.S. in 2025, the widest favorability gap between the two countries in almost 20 years, according to a new Gallup poll released Friday.
I, for one, anxiously await for the arrival of our new Chinese overlords.
(vs this nonsense)
It will certainly be interesting and dangerous to see what a narcissistic bully like Trump will do when he can’t get what he wants using escalating threats. Iran does not appear to have any interest in capitulating to his bullying, and Europe has finally woken up and is no longer trying to placate him in the face of threats. It seems that everyone is done with him and now sees through his mob style tactics.
When I hear rhetoric like “Hell will rain down” and “We’ll bomb Iran back to the stone age”, we should take him seriously. Yet everyone is assuming he’s being “just Trump” “delusional” “senile” etc. Or, we are focused on troops being used in a “first wave” invasion force.
Suppose ground troops will instead be used in a “second wave”. Then the question is, second after what? What will the first wave look like?
I have a strong gut feeling that the U.S.-Israel “tag team” WILL do the following to “drive Iran back to the stone age”:
Sadly, this will not go well for the U.S. or Israel because Trump, Hegseth et. al. will have under-estimated:
What is a “high crime and misdemeanor” if not unilateral, first use of nuclear weapons on a non-nuclear State?
Yes, I’d call that a high crime & misdemeanor.
Another one would be sending your troops in afterward, to be exposed to radioactivity.
If Israel drops nukes on Iran they will get nuked. Iran probably already has 10-12 dirty nukes they would drop on the biggest Israeli cities in retaliation.
Ted Postol, emeritus at MIT says ten or eleven 15 kiloton atomic bombs, each on par with Hiroshima. That’s enough. Even a nuclear attack on Iran by the Israel or the US will probably not eliminate Iran’s ability to retaliate, since Iran’s atomic bombs and missiles are inside granite mountains.
“High crime and misdemeanor” simply means “anything you can get enough congressmen to agree is a crime”.
The actual facts are irrelevant at best.
Trump could feed Persian toddlers alive and screaming for their mothers into a woodchipper on live TV and Congress would insist that it was fake news and besides, those tykes deserved it.
Man, the next Board of Peace meeting is going to be wild…

Since 1979 the islamist political hate cult of Iran has killed untold numbers of those opposed to their rule.. They want world domination of their cult using terror and military arms.
Thanks to Trump we will not be held hostage to a nuclear Iran with intercontinental missles in the future.
Think of the billions we have spent on TSA etc, living with these killers over the years
Pot meet kettle. Millions have died worldwide because of US military actions in that same time frame. We have killed more people than Iran has, because our military is positioned globally.
Jesus you are stupid.
1979? It’s Ted Kopple’s fault then?
Educate yourself, William, home schooling teaches you your parents’ prejudices well.
I think that if Trump wanted a favorable outcome in Cuba he would have sent the oil via a US flagged tanker to start building a new relationship. Especially since we captured several Venezuelan tankers that could have easily been re-flagged and staffed. Imagine the good will generated by headlines that say Cold War over! US steps in to turn the power back on.
Humanitarian aid from America would also help the Cubans look at America in a more favorable light.
C-mon America, we can do better!
Actually if we should had taken this type of action in 1953.
Trump wants domination, not cooperation.

…Iran military officials: “Iran will not only target the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries of Israel and some Arab countries, but also the entire electricity, water, steam, and energy infrastructure of these countries” to avenge attacks on Iran’s petrochemical industry….
Iranian missile blitz takes down AWS data centers in Bahrain and Dubai — Amazon reportedly declares “hard down” status for multiple zones

Escalation against some. However, Iran has now stated it will let ships from Iraq through the strait.
That’s potentially up to 3.6 million barrels of oil (and oil products) per day once Iraq gets its production and exports back up and running.
Now, before you get excited:
How long will it take Iraq to get back to those levels? Because of the shut down of oil fields, it will take 6-18 months to resume full production. Because of damage to export facilities, it will take 12-24 months to be repair those facilities and be able to ship that much oil again.
Let that timeline sink in for a moment. Then think about how long the shortage of oil and gas will last.
Next. Israel and the US have struck a nuclear power plant in Iran for a second time. Iran will of course retaliate against power plants and energy infrastructure in other countries as well.
If the US and Israel damage the Iranian nuclear facility badly enough, radioactive leaks may end up in the Persian Gulf. That alone will prevent desalination of water for tens of millions in the Gulf region. Will Trump accept 30-40 million immigrants from the Gulf region?
Nah, Trump has already decided gas will be back down under $3 in a few weeks. Go check the WH website, they’re still bragging about how prices will maybe go under $2/gallon soon.

Thanks Spencer. There is always some underlying Shenanigan. 1990,1991…1999,2000….2006,2007,2008……2019……2025.2006
The Shenanigan cycles are becoming more frequent and intensifying.
Watch what he does – not what he says. With the super cycle bull market now over, a war is the next best thing.
As trump gets more desperate the nuke option would seem likely for this deranged fool. I’m sure he’s suggested it already. Maybe that’s why some military members were forced our. Don’t think it can happen. This is the same guy that wanted to nuke Venezuela and worse yet a hurricane of all things. Perhaps that is how “Hell Will Rein Down” Lets hope not.
This is how you do it! You people need to be careful what you post against Trump, especially if you are on a green card or asylum status in the USA. “Death to the Great Satan”, indeed.
This Ain’t No Party… This Ain’t No Disco… This Ain’t No Foolin’ Around”

Yes, Trump intentionally attacks women, children and noncombatants.
I sincerely hope Trump tacos but it’s highly unlikely….while Trump is supposedly asking for negotiations yet another Iranian negotiator Kamal Kharrazi was wounded in an assassination attempt by an US/Israel attack killing his wife. It seems the US has adopted Israel’s tactic of pretending to negotiate while killing their opponents negotiators as a normal policy. Trump is not negotiating, he’s demanding capitulation, I do not know in what alternate reality this is appropriate. This will come back to haunt Trump and Netanyahu. I would support sending both of these guys to be tried for war crimes in The Hague after they are removed from office.
Iran’s strength was massively underestimated by Trump and our military is in a chaotic mess right now with very low morale. The Houthi’s in Yemen are ramping up, Hezbollah has armed back up and doing major damage to Israel, Bahrain is about to have a major civil war, Iraq is going back up the civil war escalation ladder, Syria is reigniting, Turkey is getting real restive after the idiots in Israel said Turkey is next, and Iran is building up their military up to 3 million troops plus. The US “allies” in the Middle East are worthless, UAE and Kuwait are worthless with the Saudi’s only slightly better, they use a lot of African mercenaries.
An Iran action plan!
Yeesh!! Bolton??? He’s arguably worse than baby mac
Eliminate their ability to control Hormuz = decade plus boots on ground occupation and $5TT
IMHO this is neocon code for “do what you must, even if it means using nukes.”
Bolton knows that U.S. and Israeli inventories of conventional weapons are depleted. So how can this ambitious end-state be achieved?
I say there is only one way: nukes. What else could Bolton possibly be signalling by that quote?
Shame on the pro-Israel NY Times for publishing that extremist pro-war screed.
Donald Trump is trying to prevent World War III and delay the return of God to earth while Iran wants it to come faster.
Remember.God must return to the earth to save itself from destruction.
MT 24:21-22 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
The root of the conflict is choice. In the United States, we let people make up their own minds. You can convert to any religion in the US. The punishment of leaving Islam is potential a death sentence.
I urge any of you celebrating the resurrection of Jesus to also investigate what the Shia Iranian regime wants. The media does not want to talk about their beliefs. Let me cut to the chase – they are a death cult who will gladly sacrifice you and anyone else to bring in the 13th Imam and their view of the new (Islam) utopia. They want Jesus to come back and assist the Mahdi’s return, the 13th Imam. In short, they want to bring about Armageddon. Where Christian’s believe, the fight is with yourself to become more like God the IRGC Imam’s believe their fight is with the Great Satan (USA) and the Little Satan (Israel).
For all of those that believe in the bible, let me remind you about the return of God from his word.
The return on Jesus is a terrible time in the future because he returns with judgement.
Rev 14:6 Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come.
Rev 14:19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes, and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles (4 to 5 ft) for 1,600 stadia (180 miles).
Rev 15:5:8 After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law- it was opened. 6 Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
1)Sores for people that had the mark of the beast 2) Sea become blood and everything in the sea died. 3) River and Springs become blood (everything died in the fresh water)4) Sun scorch people 5) Darkness 6) Armies gather to battle God and the Euphrates dries up. 7) Biggest earthquake in recorded history (mountain ranges disappear, islands displaced, Jerusalem split into three parts. Falling debris of a size of one hundred pounds falling to earth.
I love the non-interventionist view of the libertarian’s policy; the only good war is a defensive war. The question is what is defensive. Under the anti-Trump view, this is an offensive war, but does he want to rule the Iranian people? He wants them to be able to make their own choices. The number one objective of Trump is Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. My view is he will not stop until he gets his way and I hope he holds out. This is why having a weapon of mass destruction is not in the interest of the world once you understand what they want.
Peace is not the absence of war but the active battle of keeping evil from spreading.
Funny. You use religion to foment hatred of others.
Trump is doing everything possible to start WW3. And you are cheering him on.
I use the written word of God to tell me what is good and evil. I would love to have everyone be freely to be able to make the choice to obey God. I dont want anyone to be hurt or killed but this is satans world; not Gods.
I will come back to the issue if you want to convert from being a Muslim in Iran to follow Christ they will most likely kill you and have your family do it; that is pure evil. When you dont let 92 million people in Iran make that choice for God but under the penalty of death is terrible. Again, I would refer you to revelation to give you a picture of World War III. I think we need to examine ourselves so we can look and not fall into the trap of Isa 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. As a side point, Not all killing is murder. Once you can understand the finer points of law, calling evil for what it is becomes much easier.
The crazy is strong in this one.
I would point you to the Book of Daniel where Persia is used as an instrument of correction on the Hebrews. God is not slack. He always uses Persia for correction.
Friend, Biblical quotes out of context are not to be used as a club like this quote:
Why out of context? I refer you (just one example) to the First Commandment against idol worship, which in this case is your own ego.
As your own quote says, it is Jesus’s coming judgement that matters, not yours. So, consider the Gospel of Mark, which is much closer to an eyewitness account of Jesus, Mark 7:3-5:
The Gospel of Love basically says, leave the judgement to God. That’s not your job. And, finally, I refer you to the Last Judgement, Matthew 25:41-46:
Did you think your faith in the coming Judgement meant you were automatically “saved”? That you could ignore the suffering of your wayward brothers and sisters, and just spew judgement right and left to feel superior to others and inflict more suffering?
Friend, you are relieved of this burden. You can now do as Jesus’s COMMANDS namely to love your neighbor [without qualification] as yourself. Yes, that means you must love even secular liberal types. Even Shia Muslims. Jesus wanted everyone to bury the hatchet and thereby bring the Kingdom of God.
Try loving the person who disagrees with you. Maybe when Judgement Day comes, Jesus won’t judge you harshly!
Spoken by me, a sinner!
Also, please consider Leo XIV’s Easter message in response to Pete Hegseth’s blasphemous invocation of Jesus to justify the war in Iran:
Sorry, I think the pope nor the cathloic church respresent God. Reading a good history of the catholic church might be better described in Rev 17:5
Let me guess. You believe Trump represents God. Or maybe you believe Trump is God.
A God who likes to rain hellfire on others and grab women by the pussy.
I think the context is used correctly. The issue is using Grace to wash away the concept of sin. Sin is the tragression of the law. Yes – Grace but does that mean you can sin as much as you want. NO!! You can’t earn it, but you certainly disqualify yourself from the gift. The issue with most modern religon is the concept that it is hard to call evil for what it is. The threat of death for choosing God is evil.
I quoted the Last Judgement passage from Matthew explicitly to emphasize that Jesus cared not so much for what you say but what you do to alleviate the suffering of the “least of these.”
Your understanding of the mystery of Grace strikes me as self-serving and shallow. A little more Christian humility would serve you well.
Happy Easter, friend.
What Christians believe is that Christ won the fight over evil and death (because he was God in the flesh) and it is only through repentence and his free offer of forgiveness…not anything that you can work toward…that makes you right with God. The gospel is good news for sinners that have no way to redeem themselves.
Yes Grace but does that mean you can sin as much as you want. NO!! You can’t earn it, but you certainly disqualify yourself from the gift.
Why would anyone who’s truly sorry for their evil ways want to sin as much as they can? Doesn’t make any sense.
no, the Iranians do not believe Satan will be American or an Israeli. At least not in regards to the 2nd coming of Jesus.
Syrian actually.
the antichrist will arise in Damascus, and will be opposed by an army of the righteous from Yemen.
most Iranians believe its bullshit anyway.
my Iranian buddy Arash wishes you a Happy Easter, and may you find peace.
I say believe a little less in the BS, and have faith in your god. Hopefully god has a better plan than Trump for this shit.
Guess you missed this in your bible or you are a modern evangelical.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God“ (Matthew 5:9
Damn, your still here. I was raptured 14 months ago and left nothing but a pile of clothes where I stood and my socks still tucked into my shoes.Alll my responses are auto- generated on my behalf, knowing I would be raptured.
He’ll TACO because politically he cant endure high energy prices for much longer. Causing more energy infrastructure to be taken off line will guarantee a bloodbath for the red team in November.
I will further venture that the Iranians are hoping he does throw a hissy fit because then they can do reciprocal strikes on energy infrastructure around the gulf and justify them as defensive to the international community.
Trump is boxed in if he cares about the next election – but maybe he doesn’t?
Do the republicans think Vance would be worse or MAGA would be to unhappy if they invoked the 25th?
Trump is going to wait until soon after Easter to do whatever he’s going to do. Retired Lt Col Daniel Davis thinks it might be a MOAB. Just think – the appointment of Davis to the office of the DNI was killed by Ted Cruz – a guy who didn’t even have any earthly idea the population of Iran.
Thought he said he didn’t care about the strait, it wasn’t our problem.
Trump cared about the strait. Then he didn’t. Then he did. Then he didn’t. Then he did. Repeat a dozen times.
He cared about regime change. Then he didn’t. Then he did. Then he didn’t. Repeat.
He cared about the Iranian people. Then he didn’t. Then he did. Then he didn’t. And so on.
There’s no point listening to anything he says.
Agree, Iran has him by the balls and it’s turned him into an raving lunatic. He’d probably get off pushing the button, thinking the destruction would be glorius..
the 5th Fleets main naval base is on the wrong side of the Strait.
seems like we should care unless we plan on abandoning it.
Trump says things is all I can say.
The big question is: with a power void in Iran (alternately multiple people claiming power), who has the legal authority to negotiate a settlement on Iran’s behalf?
Suppose Trump “negotiates” with the Prince in exile, is a deal legally binding even if Congress approves it?
Of course not. I know it was rhetorical. But, of course not.
They have a new Supreme Leader and the same (elected) president who won his office 2 years ago. Their foreign minister – Abbas Araghchi – has been in that office since August, 2024. The speaker of the Iranian parliament has held that role since 2020. Trump is trying to run the same bullshit Netanyahu runs: kill the leaders and then complain he has no one to negotiate with. Iran has a well-established order of succession.
What power void? They are a constitutional republic with a pope with clear lines of succession.
Trump is a predictable, evil, corrupt man with an ego the size of the universe. It’s not him I’m afraid of; I’m afraid of the many tens of millions of morons who still support him and claim he’s playing 5d chess you wouldn’t understand. Just saw that on a friend’s facebook post a week ago.
Trump cares nothing for God, but he is well aware that evangelicals are his most loyal and mindless supporters.
I met one who insisted, on the basis of no discernable evidence, that Donald Trump and Jesus Christ are in regular, direct two way communication, and they discuss personnel and policy.
Strange, since, with one notable exception, there wasn’t so much turnover among the disciples.
Hmmm 12 young single men all hanging out together, no women involved, I’d bet there was lots of turnover.
Jesus healed Peters mother in law if I recall. Some were definitely married according to the story
The C5 and C17 and C130 transport activity within the last 7 days has had quite an uptick. An attempt of partial rearmament for the ongoing low weapon stockpiles is happening. All we can do is hope that rational senior military minds will influence the presidential decision making. This is a Nuremberg-like war of aggression with assassination murder of foreign leadership and an attack on civilian infrastructure. Maybe the wealthy gulf petroleum owners and the multi billionaire stock owners will have some influence … It’s crazy time, but certainly time to stop this Israeli-driven idiocy and attempt to savage a degree of American hegemony and the global US dollar for the next twenty years …
(Bloomberg) — The next steps in the US military campaign against Iran will commit nearly its entire inventory of stealthy JASSM-ER cruise missiles, drawing them from stockpiles devoted to other regions. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/us-deploys-bulk-of-stealthy-long-range-missile-for-iran-war/ar-AA209yKj
Many of the rational senior military minds have been fired.
Let’s hope Walter Reed can fix this problem.

That was the softening phase. Now we need to move in the boots on the ground, both human and robotic with the discombobulation weapons.
We the American people need to end this presidency. Republicans contact your congress members and tell them you will not vote for them in the midterms unless they immediately impeach trump and his cabinet.
April 22

Another threat. Another timeline. Another ultimatum. The same superlatives.
What a joke. How can anyone take this idiot seriously?

Catching up!!!
Happy Trading!!! Watch the Green Chicken Doomberg and Tousi TV to get the other side of the story and make up your own mind.
Are you ok? Should we call someone?
I listen to all sides of this topic. Including Doomberg and Mike McGlone. Both bears on oil. McGlone says $50 oil by year end. Doomberg says $30, without a timeline.
You said $50. Though basically you were below $70 and I was above $70.
The majority of analysts think $70-$90. Though if the war continues, some think $100.
were you listening to doonberg on thoughtful money?
he seems to be ignoring the destruction of the oil infrastructure. or did I miss it?
its looking like the gulf will be rubble before this is all over. can demand destruction take it that low? I dont think so.
Does China want oil priced in Yuan? Why wouldn’t Iran, if there are left in the driver’s seat not use Rial, to increase demand?
It is difficult to follow his line of reasoning. He believes that the world is swimming in oil and that once the war ends, and the strait opens, that we will return to a surplus of oil very quickly and prices will collapse.
I do not believe the world has a big surplus of oil. We were pretty much in balance before the war began.
And because of the war we are currently destroying around 10%of global oil infrastructure, which will take 1-5 years to be rebuilt. How high will energy prices rise in order to cause enough demand destruction to rebalance the market. I have heard estimates of $150-$200.
The longer the war lasts, the more destruction that will occur, and the longer it will take to bring all the production back online.
it could get there with demand destruction. that would mean a depression. small chance but not no chance.
I have said the same thing. Hard to see prices that low for any length of time without a depression. Though prices can swing wildly for a short time, like in the pandemic where they went negative for two days.
So, is Trump at Walter Reed for his alzheimer transfusion, or something else…
Up the escalation ladder with Netanyahu, attacks on the petrochemical industries. Look for more damage to the economy…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the Israel Defense Forces attacked Iran’s petrochemical factories, in a video statement posted on X Saturday.
“After we destroyed 70% of their steel productions capability, which is the raw material used to build weapons used against us, we continued to attack their petrochemical plants,” Netanyahu said. “These two things are their money making machine, used to fund their war of terror against us, and against the entire world.”
You mean the Iranian economy, yes?

Plenty is things in Israel for Iran to hit. And they will.

What’s really scary is that President Trump and his cabinet have these deeply held beliefs in a mythical entity called a god, and worse, are subscribed to the totally irrational part of the dogma, ARMAGEDDON, where believers are given a first class passage to “heaven”. These people are keepers of nuclear weapons! And what happens when they decide that it’s religiously appropriate for them to initiate the process by destroying our world?
The Iranians also believe God is on their side as well.
We are going back to old tradition of fighting for power under the guise of God.
It is more like fighting under the coaxing of the devil.
Trump believes in nobody and nothing other than Trump.
I think trump really thinks his many sins will be forgiven and he has been told he will bring back Jesus and get into heaven. Look at the speeches the military and petey have made on the second coming. We have fanatics on both sides of this. we are living in interesting times
God- holy war? Trump, you foolish man. The Chechens called it such a few days ago. Purportedly, they pledged to defend Iran in this Holy War. They’re a tough lot, tempered and honed in Ukraine. I have to wonder what Putin is thinking about this. I am sure he doesn’t want his Moslem republics to get seized with religious fervor and draw Russia into this mess. From Google AI : Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Tatarstan, and Bashkortostan, along with the republic of Adygea.
Any Muslims paying attention know Russia is on the side of Iran, providing satellite data and perhaps even S-500’s. Russian jamming systems helped the Iranian government disable and find the thousands of Skylink terminals that had been provided by the CIA to their color revolution agents within Iran in January.
Russians are probably also jamming the SOS signal from the remaining pilot on the ground, IF he is still alive.
I say this warrants more support for Ukraine, once we are done with Iran. Payback is a bitch.
This is Russia paying US back for Ukraine. And, yes, it is a bitch – especially because Russia will end up with all of Novorossiya and – in typical fashion – we’ll get routed in Iran, but only after many American lives lost and much treasure borrowed and wasted.

Sounds like a lot of mercenaries, I mean, soldiers will die.
And? That is part of the risk one accepts when they join the military. 3 million people die each year in the USA also.
The Peace President has spoken.
I’m ashamed to admit I was fooled by Trump last June (12 Day War) when he “appeared” to refuse to go along with Israel in continuing the attacks on Iran and supposedly ended the war by bombing the Iranian nuclear site.
Looking back on it, it’s clear it was just intended to be a temporary ceasefire and that Trump intended to join Israel to fight Iran again once it was better prepared.
Good that you got wise. Too many keep on doubling down.
The “sunk cost fallacy” refers to the tendency of leaders and nations to continue a war or policy simply because of the considerable time, money, and lives already invested, even when the costs of continuing outweigh any potential gains. In the context of the 2026 conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, this psychological trap has been identified as a key factor in deepening the conflict.
More proof that taco has completely lost it.
He can’t taco this time.
Why not?
Al he has to do is say negotiations are underway, he did it for humanity, or whatever.
The Iranians will goad him back with memes and AI videos, if nothing else. His faithful will lose faith when gas hits 8 bucks… that and cheap eggs seem to be what the faithful require. He won’t be able to do anything about it, but he’ll try random things. Might even get lucky.
I think he’s finally got into something he can’t bullshit himself out of. It’s hard to distract the media from the apocalypse.
