Didn’t see that coming, apparently neither did Iran.

Trump took out Iran’s uranium refineries. 

Good! The last people on the planet that should have nuclear weapons, or even nuclear materials is a bunch of 12th century religious zealots.

Since the days of Carter, I’ve suggested that we give Iran nuclear weapons – Pointy end first. Then erect a huge monument to stupidity that could be seen from orbit on the foot thick slab of glass that used to be Iran.

I looked at it as a twofer, maybe a threefer. We’d get rid of the crazy mullahs, combat climate change with the dust the blast would kick into the atmosphere, and send a very clear concise message to terrorists that their unending violence would not be tolerated.

Most people told me my suggestion was extreme. Maybe…

I’ve mellowed over the years, largely due to my other half being such a just and kind person. I’m still in favor of terrorists being shot on sight. I’m not particularly interested in trials or appeals for them.

Which is why I have no pity for Gaza. The Palestinians were given the land, allowed to create their own governance, and chose a terrorist organization to be their government. What they’ve done over the years, and in particular on Oct 7 deserves no mercy, no pity, and no survivors.

It’s not hatred that I feel, it’s exhaustion. The entire Middle East has exhausted me.

Send all their “immigrants” back from Western countries, quarantine the area, then let them murder each other at will. Wait 50 or 100 years then check on them to see if any of them had evolved beyond the 12th century.

This morning Iran is crying to the UN about not being able to make “Mostly Peaceful” Nuclear weapons. At the same time they’re still lobbing “Mostly Peaceful” ballistic missiles at Israel. I’d laugh if I didn’t know that the UN will of course condemn the US for burying a shit ton of uranium in the desert.

To be clear, I disagree with Israel launching the first missiles at Iran. I think it might not have been that great an idea.

I guess they had their reasons, and I don’t know enough to really assess what the motivation was. In general I’m in favor of destroying Iranian ability to sponsor global terrorist networks, piracy on the high seas, and God knows what other shenanigans they’re behind on the global stage.

Iran should be glad people with Western values are choosing tactical targets. I suspect that if someone were motivated, almost every city in Iran could be leveled in less than 24 hours.

I’m reasonably sure that as long as the oil production sites weren’t significantly damaged, no-one would give a shit. Perhaps it could be sold to the rest of the world as, “For the Greater Good”. That seems to carry weight with a lot of people these days.

It would do my evil little heart good to see tons of Americans out on the streets shouting “Death to Iran” or “Murder a Mullah for God”. Burning effigies, Iranian flags, and such.

I’m just sick and tired of being extorted by Iran (how many billions have been given to them to “buy” peace?) Maybe I’m sick of having to be “Nice”. Maybe I’m just tired of chaos.

I don’t want any American boots on the ground in the Middle East ever again. But I wouldn’t be opposed to making an example of the primary ringleaders of chaos from the air.

I’m glad Trump bombed the shit out of their facilities. Now let Israel finish the job.

Rumor has it, Iran has ordered the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Even though it would mean escalation of hostilities, I’m not opposed to the US Navy hunting down and sinking every Iranian warship. While we’re at it, destroy every single Iranian military aircraft.

I’m also for isolating them from the internet, and seizing all their foreign assets, including bank accounts, then returning that money to the American Taxpayer as reparations for PTSD.

If you deny the Mullahs the ability to make war, then you won’t have war.

Hey, at least I’m not advocating burning their fields and villages then plowing salt into the ground.
