Israel did not have a realistic plan for regime change when it attacked Iran, multiple Israeli security sources have said, with expectations that airstrikes could lead to a popular uprising having been driven by “wishful thinking” rather than hard intelligence.
Iran has survived nearly two weeks of bombing raids and the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Trump is publicly contemplating ending the increasingly costly war.
If Iran’s new leadership keeps its grip on power, the long-term measure of the success of the conflict may hang on the fate of 440kg of enriched uranium which was buried under a mountain by US strikes last June, former and serving Israeli defence and intelligence sources said. Enough for more than 10 nuclear warheads, Iran could use it to hasten the construction of a weapon if the material remains in the country.
Funny enough this is what may fuck Trump over big time. Americans have been spoiled by their super low gas prices so the sudden increase is a shock nd he can’t blame it on Biden or his other usual go tos.
Never underestimate the Democrats ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Never underestimate the high powered, highly financed propaganda machine the right has constructed - that and the gullibility and stupidity of Americans.
*The gullible stupidity of the GOP voters.
I agree.
Americans’ #1 issue is affordability, and it is the only reason they voted for Donald. He thought he had a mandate to rebrand and rebuild the Gestapo. He thought he had a mandate to dismantle the government.
No, Americans were tired of being priced out of their lives for the last four years, hated Democrats for doing nothing about it, and believed his lies about making America an affordable place to live again.
Ironically, not even the SAVE Act will be able to save him. Tens of millions of Americans are already working multiple jobs and 100 hours a week just to overpay for their rent on a roach-infested studio. The mid-terms are going to be an absolute bloodbath for Republicans. (Though most of the Democrats we elect won’t do anything to make America affordable either.)
What could Democrats do to make America affordable? They can’t clear a veto proof majority in the Senate, even with a blue wave exceeding all expectations. So that just means nobody can pass anything anymore.
As a former political strategist: You flood the zone with good bills. Give them so many that the propaganda machine cannot knock them all down. You can go as far left as you want with it, so long as it works and works quickly (w/in 12-18 mos.)
Dare Trump to veto free childcare or money for struggling families. Dare the Republicans to vote against the SAVE MAIN STREET act. Make them vote against the SAVE RURAL AMERICA ACT.
We’ll get some wins for people, and we’ll make these bastards own their dumbfuck regressive nonsense policies.
The same shit Donald is doing. In reverse.
Amazing you’ve seen Donald accomplish so much with almost no congressional participation and you’ll still argue Dems are powerless, and probably will again when President Newsom lets affordability get even worse.
Ah, I thought you were talking about midterms.
You are correct, but that won’t stop them from trying to blame them.
Also the Dems are so ineffectual lately, they might just make it easy for him.
In a lot of ways you can blame Americans intolerance for rises in gas prices for the situation we’re in. Hard to imagine Trump being possible without Reagan, and while there’s lots of factors to his victory in 80 to hear my older family members in Georgia tell it that was what made them flip on the native son who for most was the only democrat they ever voted for
