US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

How do you work that out when Irans military capability and production has been mostly 
destroyed now bar the odds and sods? The decimated wankers don't have any boats, planes, anti aircraft defences or radars as both Israel and US can fly freely across the skies of Iran picking them off at will and with ease. 
I watched Michael Lester who used to work for the pentagon being interviewed by Shawn Ryan former Navy SEAL , CIA contractor and gun loving republican. 

What's that got to do with current reality of a decimated military and arsenal?
The US are running of weapons they cannot be replaced overnight and Iran make their own drones

Perhaps the Iranians can sell back the thousands of missiles Olly sold them with the aid of an Israeli arms dealer when the US had an arms embargo against Iran.

Yep if Iran has a nuke...oh wait that that option has gone 
How on earth could a nuclear terrorist attack happen on US soil a war head smuggled through customs  in false bottomed suitcase ? 


More bio chemical sarin etc
 
Why would the bomb have to be smuggled through US Customs? A small nuke, on a cargo ship, parked up in a major city harbour, detonated before any Customs inspection, would be devastating.
3 foot long and weighing 50 kg a shoe bomb perhaps ?

So here we are . In a Middle East hole of Trumps making and he keeps digging so the world economy keeps tanking
Why?
Well Epstein was an Israeli asset so Netanyahu has Trump over a barrel with some interesting blackmail evidence
Trump also still seems to supporting his mate Putin in every way he can
More compromising material in Russian hands?
On we go

A draft dodging cսnt calling others cowards?

Fuck right off.

If he’s at the behest of people like Netanyahu and Putin, that’s his fucking problem, not the rest of the civilised world.

Far Cough UKunt" wrote: 20 Mar 2026, 16:28 Just to clear things up a bit, any foreign flagged ship can't just rock up into a harbour and park up alongside, firstly they have to fly a Q flag which is a yellow flag signifying that the ship is free from contagion, it also signifies a request for customs to come on board, this is usually but not always done in a roadstead outside of the destination port, of course this doesn't mean a nuclear device would be found, not at all but the authorities do know where the ship was embarked and any intermediate stops that were made and anything out of the ordinary would entail a deeper search or if need be, clearance to enter port could be denied.
