I joined the military during the Reagan yrs I was hoping to wipe out the Iranian Death to America chanters, what have you ever contributed to the safety or quality of life of the USA?

I'm probably too old to rejoin the festivities, but my children are welcome to, and if they called me I would happily drop everything to report.

They have been chanting Death to America (ns) for 47 fucking years.

I'm sitting here typing yelling Death to Iran!

Some have just shameful writings here, when no peace with Trump, but just chaos from his craziness.

By Satan's ballsack, this so-called war is so dull. Sheesh.

If 1300+ deaths in just the first week, including 100+ school children slaughtered by Donald Trump on the first day, is boring to you, then you might as well settle in for a long, deadly, very expensive and boring slog of another unprovoked, quagmire, no-win Repub War of aggression and choice, as is strongly suggested by all available evidence and intel, some of the most critical of it fully available to Trump long before he started and plunged America into his Repub Trump Iran War:

Kuwait cuts oil production as Strait of Hormuz closure disrupts energy market

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/07/kuwa...ndroidappshare

Kuwait said it is cutting oil production due to Iranian threats against safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

Kuwait is the fifth-largest oil producer in OPEC. It produced approximately 2.6 million barrels per day in January.

Oil prices surged about 35% this week as the Iran war has triggered a major disruption of global energy supplies.

Now, as regards to the "unconditional surrender" that Trump is demanding of Iran in order to even begin to see an end to this quagmire, no-win, deadly, very expensive and to you boring Repub War, the niggling point of conflicts about that as of this writing is half of Trump's Cabinet and many Repub MAGAs in Congress are denying that what Commander-in-Chief Trump and his Secretary of War Pere KegsBreath keep calling a "War" over and over again in public is really a War.

Ahem.

Therefore, if we are to believe those Repub MAGAs and not Trump and his Secretary of War, then there is no reason for whoever is in charge in Iran to "surrender" to anyone here, there or anywhere else for anything at anytime.

The bigger of the two questions being, "surrender to whom?

Iran vows it won't surrender as war with the U.S. and Israel enters second week

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/07/not-...ndroidappshare

The war between Iran and the U.S. and Israel entered a second week with Iranian missiles bombarding Gulf states and Israel attacking an oil facility in Tehran.

Iran struck a U.S. air base in the United Arab Emirates, shortly after its president, Masoud Pezeshkian, apologized for attacking its Gulf neighbors.

Vessel traffic came to a near-halt in the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil prices skyrocketing.

Two influential Iranian clerics have called for the swift selection of a new supreme leader, Iranian state media reported.

And to answer that bigger question referenced above, well, Trump already knew what the latest Intel and research on that question strongly suggested; whoever winds up "surrendering" to whomever in Iran after this quagmire, no-win, Repub War eventually comes to its deadly and very expensive end, if it ever does that is, the "surrender" will very likely be to some of the exact same people with the exact same mindset and ideology, methods and culture as was there the week before Trump started his Repub Trump Iran War:

Intel report warns large-scale war unlikely to oust Irans regime
A classified U.S. report doubts that Irans opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...y-oust-regime/

The report, completed about a week before the United States and Israel initiated the war on Feb. 28, outlined succession scenarios stemming from either a narrowly tailored campaign against Irans leaders or a broader assault against its leadership and government institutions, the people familiar with its findings said. In both cases, the intelligence concluded that Irans clerical and military establishment would respond to the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by following protocols designed to preserve continuity of power, these people said.

However, since Trump plunged America into his Iran War in order to pay back Netanyahu for delaying the May 2024 Biden-negotiated ceasefire until after the November 2024 election and thereby better ensure that relatively tiny handful of angry Muslims in the only 3 swing states that mattered would come through with the razor-thin marginal swing of votes necessary to "give Trump the presidency", payback Qatar for that sweet airliner bribe, payback the UAE for that sweet bailout bribe of the Trump Crime Family's failing crypto venture, payback Saudi Arabia for that sweet bribe in the Billions to Trump son-in-law Jared and his lovely bride, Trump's long lusted-after daughter, as a convenient distraction from those increasingly uncomfortable Epstein File revelations, his terrible economic policy results, crashing poll numbers for him and his Party's midterm election prospects and so on and absolutely zero to do with making America safer, Iran's human rights violations or any other high-minded goals, it really doesn't matter to Trump and his MAGAs what happens in Iran or to America as a result of this latest Repub / Trump economic, national security and foreign policy catastrophe.

Don't you find so exciting already 6 US deaths because of Trump who is a liar, more than supporting criminal Netanyahou, Trump doesn't care about Iranians, but kind of war for energy versus China. USA have master of bullshits and lies.

Your Trump You elected twice is big support for criminal Netanyahou war business and wanted to spend big money to build Gaza beach resort. Such a shame for USA.

LOL! And no doubt for the past 10 years it has "made sense" for Texas to significantly build more solar, wind and battery capacity, than coal, gas and nuclear combined, over the last 50 years.

Another fun fact, it has been over +30 years, since Texas built a commercial operational nuclear plant ...+30 years and in less than a third of that time, from 20142023, Texas led the U.S. in both wind and solar growth, with solar capacity growing by over 6,000%.

Wake the fuck-up, dude! Growth in renewables, like the one in Texas, for solar, wind and batteries (S+W+B) aren't just happening, because it only "make sense in places where the wind is blowing and sun is shining". It is happening everywhere, due to the economics that S+W+B have been the lowest cost of energy.

Another classic failure, to understand energy economics, macro energy policies and worldwide geo-political energy trends. Just like your dumbass MAGA Fuhrer!

Yes, thanks to your senile MAGA Fuhrer stooge, being pussy-whipped and now taking his orders from Israeli overlords, is a new fool's low for your MAGA Fuhrer and makes America look like its "the tail" and Israel is "the dog".

Note, something you gullible MAGA suckers, always thought it would be Kamala Harris, that wasn't going to be strong enough to stand up for America. Now we know, the weakling and weak-minded fool, is your MAGA Fuhrer! BTW, VP Harris would never have taken America, into yet another senseless war. Full Stop Period!

Also many thanks your dumbass MAGA Fuhrer, after being subjugated and browbeaten by his dominatrix Bibi, and goaded into another useless war, I am counting on much of the world, outside of those petrostates, to also WAKE UP and go gleefully running into China's arms, for more non-conflict gigawatts of S+W+B please.

We are sure getting a whole bunch of "This is the worst ever or at least since a previous time a Republican was president" framing in these latest terrible headlines and reports that Mainstream Media love and crave so much they just can't stop helping Repubs win elections so they will oh so reliably continue to provide them:

Oil surges 35% this week for biggest gain in futures trading history

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/06/iran...ndroidappshare

U.S. crude soared 35.63% for the biggest weekly gain in the history of the futures contract dating back to 1983. Brent jumped about 28% for its biggest weekly gain since April 2020.

Dow falls 450 points, posts worst week in nearly a year as oil tops $90, jobs data disappoints

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/05/stoc...ndroidappshare

Qatars energy minister, Saad al-Kaabi, told the Financial Times that Gulf energy producers may need to call force majeure in the coming days, shutting down production in a move that could send oil to $150 a barrel. The conflict in the Middle East could bring down the economies of the world, he warned.

Im very cautious, said Wharton professor emeritus Jeremy Siegel on CNBCs Closing Bell. If we dont get some breakthrough over the weekend, I think well see $100 oil next week.

I understand MAGA Bill Maher will launch into a campaign of bothsider / neithersider assurances on his weekly show that "I know Donald very well and if there is anything I know for sure about him it is that he really hates wars, high oil and gas prices and losing jobs in the economy.

Really.

Swear to god.

Besides, everyone knows Republicans are better at handling the economy than. Democrats.

Oh, and Democrats think men can get pregnant, always try to defund the police and lack common sense.

Really.

Swear to god. ".

Funny, big powerful USA needing to ask advices to poor Ukrainians for drones. USA should understand how Putin fail, despite his cruelty, after 4 years.

**EihTooms** · 03-06-26 13:53

Yes, as predictable as night following day. Again.

Mind you, this was before Trump started the Repub Trump Iran War.

Hey, have you heard how much better Repubs are at handling the economy than Dems? Not sure how anyone could miss it since Mainstream Media has been spinning it that way in the minds of voters for at least 100 years, all through every Great Repub Depression, Great Repub Recession, Massive Historic Repub Jobs Destruction, great Dem economic recovery, great Dem economic expansion and massive historic Dem jobs creation. Hard to miss, really. LOL.

U.S. payrolls unexpectedly fell by 92,000 in February; unemployment rate rises to 4.4%

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/06/febr...ndroidappshare

Nonfarm payrolls fell by 92,000 for the month, compared to the estimate for 50,000 and below the downwardly revised January total of 126,000. February marked the third time in the past five months that payrolls declined, following a sharp revision showing a drop of 17,000 in December.

Let's take a short stroll through the usual utterly incoherent blithering cognitive impairment of Donald Trump's supposed but obviously total bullshit claim to doing anything at any time for the benefit of America rather than for the benefit of himself and his Trump Crime Family:

United States withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...Plan_of_Action

The Trump administration certified in April 2017 and in July 2017 that Iran was complying with the deal.

Trump said Irans nuclear program was obliterated. So why is he looking to strike again?
Feb. 24, 2025

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/24/polit...n-trump-strike

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say.
March 2, 2026

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pen...ay-2026-03-02/

In a Just World, everyone who could have but did not vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016 would be arrested, indicted, convicted and sentenced to prison for Negligent, Involuntary Manslaughter for the death of at least a million Americans and millions more around the world from Trump's Pandemic.

But there was nothing merely "negligent" nor "involuntary" about the slaughter of law-abiding Americans and other people around the world thanks anyone who could but did not vote for Kamala Harris in 2024. For that every one of them would be arrested, indicted, convicted and sentenced to either death or life in prison without the possibility of parole for 1st Degree Murder.

I'm beginning to lose interest. I'm not rock hard anymore.

Call me when there's like actual World War 3 action happening. How is this even 'War', when there's no boots on the ground? The Vietnam days were way more exciting!

With video technology today, you'd think we'd see more explosions up close.

Should I still go to Bangkok? Satan knows I want to. Come on you guys. You idiots voted for orange, why can't he make the war more exciting and entertaining for us to watch then? We're already in a dystopia, let's just go all the way to armageddon baby!

I have a better idea, lets just kill them all, Do you think I'm afraid? Lololol.

You also cried and whined when the King of the Universe smoked that ***** named Soleimani.

You say you left USA 15 yrs ago and haven't returned once.

Thank You very much BTW.

And I'm sure you don't because you know you will be thrown in prison for being a traitor.

All they need to do is read your ISG, trying to suck and rim.

Aka publicly giving aid and comfort to our enemies 24/7.

It has been hilarious to read and hear desperate MAGA BS justifications for Trump's disastrous Iran War that he is playing some kind of 4 dimensional chess where the traffic of oil to and from adversaries like Russia and China are being disrupted during this Trump Payback For Angry Muslim Voter Election Wins and Other Bribes War in Iran.

U.S. gives India a 30-day waiver to buy Russian oil as Iran war pushes oil higher

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/06/us-i...ndroidappshare

U.S. has issued a 30-day waiver to the worlds third-largest oil importer, India, to resume purchase oil from Russia.

The U.S. government is taking steps to curb rising oil prices, including offering political risk insurance for tankers transiting the Gulf.

India has been reducing Russian oil purchases with supply from Middle East.

The overwhelming Repub Trumpian / MAGA Cult support for Man of Peace Trump's bombing of at least 7 countries, starting the Venezuela War, the Iran War, etc just in his first year in office confirms that Trump has in fact had "immunity" from blame and prosecution for any crime he commits from his Repub Trumpian / MAGA Cult supporters all along.

He knew that as far back as when he proudly proclaimed he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and not lose any of that support.

So it really doesn't matter to him how horrible any of his catastrophic economic, national security and foreign policy decision results turn out.

If we lose the quagmire Repub Trump no-win War in Iran as we lost the Repub Eisenhower no-win War in Vietnam, the Repub GW Bush no-win War in Iraq, the Repub GW Bush no-win War in Afghanistan, that is no big deal to Repub Trump or any of his Repub Trumpian / MAGA Cult members. He and they will always come up with some lamebrained justification for it that blames everyone else but them or spins some truly bizarro world "positive" out of it.

We see the evidence it right here.

The USA could lose Repub Trump's Iran War and Trump knows very well he only needs to go online or waddle over to a podium and say a few incoherent gobbledygook words that sound vaguely like how great it is that he and only he could have won that War so perfectly and his Cult will go along with that nonsense.

LOL. Iranian Ayatollahs could invade America after their victory, take over the White House and assume total control of Congress and Repub Trumpian / MAGA Cult members would still repeat over and over again how much worse it would have been if they had not voted for Trump and instead "cognitively impaired" Joe Biden, who "didn't know who he was, where he was or what he was doing", had continued his run and won or that "alcoholic" Kamala Harris had won and we would be doomed to hear her laugh every few months. Lolol.
