boom stickIran attacks US Bases.
FAFO time
IRGC decided to attack bases in the region.
Qatar had some missiles incoming and they are pissed.

crbutlerQatar, UAE, Bahrain, and I think Saudi Arabia have shut down airspace.
That will be a major inconvenience for international travel.
I don’t think the Qataris are really interested in getting into a shooting match with Iran. While they can certainly defend themselves, a shooting war is EXPENSIVE, and likely to cause long term issues.
I’d love to see the Iranian people get rid of the theocracy, but as others have said it will be a decision of the Iranian people… and there are enough of them that are willing to join the revolutionary guard as opposed to the regular Iranian military that I doubt even if Iran changes government that there will not be some of them still wanting to export religious violence.
The Saudis are (on a government basis) not advocating for war/terror but some of their citizens still do.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Saeed knows some folks in the UAE that support that behavior, even though the Emiratis as a whole are peaceful and reasonable folks.
Heck, we have some of our own religious nutters that think a new crusade would be a good idea…

shanksponyWord is that Putins worst body double just offered them a pat on the back and moral support.

LHeym500I am all for giving Iranians the support to end this Regime. That includes aftermath infrastructure.

shanksponySounds like China isn't too happy about that idea either.

theback40If given a choice, what kind of government would Iranians choose?
24 June 2025, 05:22
shanksponyIts a good question.
I fear that most will choose a secular democracy type. But that the 30% who are staunchly in favour of the current system will go to violence to prevent it.

boom stickThe official narrative is that this was a big pantomime show to save face. Who knows but I don’t like playing William Tell with our soldiers. If this does come to an end then less bloodshed for now. Is this a stitch in time saves 9 or a kicking of the can?

shanksponyGood to know. My partners is heading back via Dubai next week. Hopefully nothing changes and the just announced ceasefire holds.

What's to worry about? We learned so much from Afghanistan & Iraq. Rinse & repeat. Maga is all in. Forget all that "trump hasn't gotten us into any wars" BS. Nothing like a complete 180 in trump's maga world.

Hasn't been long since they got kicked out of Afghanistan.
Cowardly leaving billions of their military equipment behind.
They are glutton for having their arse handed to them.
Looking for another unceremonious DEFEAT!

lavacaThere's a new sheriff in town and Iran realizes it. The US does an airstrike on Saturday and on Monday there is a cease fire.

A choice between Commie kamala and the MAGA ARSEHOLE!
And to top it all a young girl who was brain dead is kept alive because she could not have an abortion!
Of course, let us not forget the prize money reporting your neighbor having an abortion!
What freedom!

shanksponyThere's an interesting juxtop[osition between this reaction, and his handling of Ukraine and Russia.
If you watch the longer clip he's comfortable apportioning the correct blame and calling out Israel for its immediate actions.
So I ask myself why again, can't he do that with Russia?
Though I believe in this instance he's actually trying. It's just his attention span is too short to see a deal through.
Geographically, politically and strength wise, nobody will attack Russia unless they are completely insane and suicidal or in terms of Ukraine, self preservation
But a good question Shanks, something to ponder for sure

M.Shy, Shanks didn't say "attack Russia".
He said "apportioning the correct blame" and "calling out".
I think there's a difference.
So, his question is, "Can't he do that with Russia"?
We can speculate why, but it's obvious that he can't.
