@NoLeftyEsty @RpsAgainstTrump @2little2lateBB It's so bizarre when every candidate the Democrats ever fielded was a moderate uncontrovertial centrist. But the way some Republicans bleat you'd think the Democrats ran Karl Marx as the candidate.

@RpsAgainstTrump @2little2lateBB I voted for Trump 3 X Unfortunatelly that was my only choice.

Ted Cruz, 10 years ago today: “I want to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar...He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth…The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen”

@Legolago1 @BrinkOvlov @WeTheBrandon 'Trust the plan'

@kumoban @BrinkOvlov @WeTheBrandon It seems that my point wasn't clear. I was talking about covert mossad and CIA operations, including preparing an armed uprising in the country.

I suspect that a US Navy ship was, indeed, hit and the Pentagon is playing wordsmith because they are attempting to avoid escalation. We have exhausted all military options.

@BrinkOvlov @Legolago1 @WeTheBrandon If anything these attacks have strengthened the IRGC and even if you completely wreck them, it'll just turn into a Somalian pirates situation. It really doesn't cost much to disrupt international trade. If a bunch of Somali fisherman can do it, so can Iran.

@kumoban @Legolago1 @WeTheBrandon Bankrupting the cult leaders and oil gangsters who run Iran is going to stop them even more than bombs. Iran is trying to figure out how to get money rolling back in. Without money, the cult like all cults, goes out of business. Guns are useless if you can't buy bullets.

@Legolago1 @BrinkOvlov @WeTheBrandon Oh, does the US have ground troops landed in Iran to hold ground and deny enemy ground movements? Having a naval presence in the Straits does not stop Iran shooting at shipping from the land. Multiple cheap weapons systems in the modern age can easily reach anywhere in the strait

@kumoban @BrinkOvlov @WeTheBrandon If you think this war involved only air power you are misinformed.

@wartranslated But how will they identify the people they need to deport if they don't let them out themselves?

Berlin will completely ban Soviet, Russian, and Belarusian flags on May 8 and 9. The ban also covers the flags of the USSR, Russia, Belarus, and Chechnya, as well as St. George ribbons, "Z" and "V" symbols, and other related emblems. united24media.com/world/germany-…

@BlackScholesMan @Osinttechnical Geography. The Strait is only 21 nautical miles across at it's narrowest point. They can cobble together any irregular force of crappy artillery, drones and missiles and still have no issue hitting civilian shipping. Hormuz is a shooting gallery.

@Osinttechnical stop them with what?

Iran’s IRGC says any vessel attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian permission will be stopped by force.

@delrayroly @Osinttechnical Ask yourself this. For over 45 years, Iran has been at the top of America's hitlist. But also for that time, the USA has not once attempted to invade Iran and overthrow their government. Now ask yourself why that might have been?

@BrinkOvlov @WeTheBrandon You can't win a war with purely air power. It is impossible to make the Strait safe for shipping because the Strait is so narrow all it takes is a few people in speedboats carrying RPGs to make transit too risky for insurers.

@WeTheBrandon Iran would get bombed to hell if they hit a US ship. It is Trump remember? You hit him he hits back 5 times as hard, he has been that way since the 1980's. Iran knows this.

@IWebberley @floboflo There's one person at the back on the left but they are almost entirely blocked by a pole. The only issue with the image exists entirely in the mind of the original poster because they're just a standard racist who thinks being near people who look different is a problem.

@kumoban @floboflo Yeahman but when I used to catch the bus in London they'd spread out properly, never seen a whole single file like that.

There’s loads of seats?!

@IWebberley @floboflo It would be weirder if people were sitting together and there were loads of empty seats. As a commuter, going to sit by a stranger when there's plenty of other places to sit is very suspicious behaviour.

@kumoban @floboflo Ah, ok. It's not because it's a manipulated image then?

@IWebberley @floboflo Because there's plenty of room on the bus and none of them know each other because they live in a busy city.

@floboflo Why are they all sitting in single file?

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley Well, maybe you can do some research on how to stop the global economy sliding into the abyss because of skyrocketing fuel costs and no end in sight. o/

no i do not. i am well-informed. i do my own research. i think for myself. dismissing our POTUS as a "Reality TV star" again just exposes your extreme mental limitations. you couldn't be more brainwashed by lazy low IQ propaganda do some research of your own (if you're capable) and come back once you have something meaningful to say

For almost a year, the Pentagon has withheld $400 million in congressionally approved security assistance to Ukraine, aid passed on a bipartisan basis for one clear purpose: defending a democratic ally under attack. Why is the Pentagon delaying authorized aid to Ukraine? When Congress acts, that commitment should be honored. Ukraine deserves our assistance — not endless Pentagon delays.

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley You're so smart you blindly trust a Reality TV star and a Fox News host to deal with one of the most complex geopolitical landscapes of the 21st century without just putting their fist in it.

@kumoban @RepMikeQuigley you couldn't possibly have exposed your lack of intelligence better than saying "there doesn't appear to be a plan" that's pure left wing propaganda and lunacy. come back with meaningful points to make or shut the fuck up

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley How does the US fix this? What's the exit strategy? Hormuz is still blocked and fuel prices are still going up. Surely they planned for all this.

@kumoban @RepMikeQuigley laughably moronic. go back to ushering in every 3rd world murderer. you've got more than enough to worry about

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley You made the point that the President can do what he wants and we just need to trust the plan. I'm just pointing out that based on actual real world consequences that have occurred due to the actions of the US Government, there doesn't appear to *be* a plan.

@kumoban @RepMikeQuigley if you don't wanna be insulted then try actually responding with sensical, rational debate you've ignored every single point i've made. not addressed a single one. in other words, like i said, you're an ordinary (useful) leftist moron

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley And yet all you've done is throw insults instead of addressing the geopolitical stupidity of attacking people who can block one of the most important shipping lanes in the world, and have now done so.

@kumoban @RepMikeQuigley you are a smelly brit. lmfao in other words, you and your braindead comrades are responsible for rolling out the red carpet to the fundamental transformation of your country into a communist hell hole your opinion has less weight than an inbreds' from the gaza, fucking moron

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley They've been weeks from a nuclear weapon for over two decades. There was no pressing need to attack Iran and it has not made anyone any safer. You blindly trust this administration to be acting rationally when they've shown no evidence of that.

@kumoban @RepMikeQuigley ummm i didn't realize that your microscopic brain didn't realize how dangerous it is for the world's largest state sponsor of terror to have a nuclear weapon in their hands. my b, next time i'll try to be more cognizant of your limited intelligence

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley Okay, so what I said wasn't propaganda, it was true. They didn't get a vote on it because Trump believes he doesn't have to ask. Not to mention you haven't addressed the fact that launching an attack on Iran was a stupid thing to do, considering the consequences.

no he did not. the same as every president in modern history. not to mention that telling congress beforehand would have put our patriotic servicemembers in direct danger. the fact that you even just asked that question tells me everything i need to know about your nonfunctional brain

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley Did Trump consult Congress before launching strikes on Iran?

@kumoban @RepMikeQuigley well, at least you have the courage to broadcast your ignorance and propensity for consuming propaganda...

@zrod10 @RepMikeQuigley They didn't get a vote because Trump launched this ill advised campaign on a whim without consulting Congress. All respect to the US Military, but this operation was a stupid idea and now everyone else is paying for it.

@RepMikeQuigley did you vote to support OUR troops fighting FOR AMERICA in the middle east to dismantle the radical religious nazi terrorist regime in iran? If not-- go fuck yourself, shut the fuck up, and find a new hair piece @RepMikeQuigley
