Oh Teddy, this wasnt your best day



I like Tucker but this is showboating. Ask Trump some of these questions and he won't be able to give you precise answers. It's why the NSA and CIA brief the politicians. But everyone, including Tucker, should know of the threat posed by Iran. Does he not agree that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. We have had 4 years of open borders. Anyone can smuggle a dirty bomb into DC and decapitate the leadership of the USA.

Cruz is right....all these peripheral questions are just noise. I don't care what the breakdown of Iran is. I absolutely agree that these religious and uncivilized radicals can't have a nuke under any circumstances.

From the IDF Chief of Staff’s remarks:

“We entered this campaign with Iran possessing around 2,500 surface-to-surface missiles, with a high production rate.

The IDF will not stand idly by in the face of growing threats. As part of a new operational doctrine, we will act proactively and preemptively to prevent existential threats and respond to any challenge."

_

This marks one of the most significant shifts in Israel’s strategic outlook — a forward-looking, future-focused doctrine.

Enforcement across all arenas: If there's a threat — eliminate it.
No waiting.
That’s how you prevent the next surprise.

Palestine Action said two of its activists infiltrated Britain's largest RAF base and sprayed red paint into the engines of two Airbus Voyager aircraft before escaping without being caught.

Shocking footage shared by the group yesterday morning shows protesters storming across the RAF runway in Oxfordshire on electric scooters.

The bodycam footage then shows them spraying red paint into the turbine engines of the air-to-air refuelling tankers which the RAF say are 'vital for enhancing the operational reach and flexibility of Britain's military air power'.

Palestine Action claims to have used repurposed fire extinguishers to spray the paint, while they say they caused further damage with crowbars.

This is such an appropriate commentary of the state of Great Britain today. Two punks break into a military air base and sabotage two aircraft without detection. No security cameras protecting such vital resources? No guards or alarms? This is a military base. I don't think these planes will be out of commission for long. They can probably replace the engines in a week or less. The damaged engines will be torn down and cleaned. But this shows how weak Britain has become. The probably thought by appeasing the terrorists by condemning Israel they would not be targets, like they did with Hitler 85 years ago.

I just cannot imagine a military air base without constant armed patrols. Very sad day for Britain.

An Israeli airstrike in Iran killed Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestine Corps in the IRGC Quds Force, who funded and armed Hamas ahead of the terror group’s October 7 onslaught as part of a multi-front plan to destroy Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said Saturday.

Izadi was “one of the architects” of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught, “and among the few who knew of it prior to its execution,” the IDF said.

The military said he was killed overnight in a safe house in the Iranian city of Qom “following a prolonged intelligence effort.”

Netanyahu in a statement in Hebrew to the people of Israel:

"Dear citizens of Israel, my brothers and sisters. In Operation 'Am Kalavi', (Rising Lion) we achieved unprecedented achievements together in the history of Israel. You remember that from the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran's nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another. This promise was kept. A short time ago, in full coordination between me and President Trump, and in full operational coordination between the IDF and the United States military, the United States attacked Iran's three nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In doing so, the United States continued, with greater intensity and with great force, the attacks of the IDF and the Mossad on Iran's nuclear program. This program threatened our very existence and also endangered the peace of the entire world. Immediately after the operation was completed, President Trump called me. We had a very warm, very moving conversation. He congratulated me, he congratulated our army, and he congratulated our people. And I congratulated him, the United States pilots, and the American people. President Trump is leading the free world with strength. He is a great friend of Israel, a friend like no other. In my name and on behalf of all the citizens of Israel, on behalf of the entire Jewish people, I thank him from the bottom of my heart. And I know, citizens of Israel, that I speak from the bottom of the heart of each and every one of you. We stand together, we fight together, and with God's help - we win together. As the saying goes in this week's Torah, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” (Numbers 13:30)

I am not against the US strike in Iran but I find the giddy celebrations by some folks to be sad. I'd have to see the Intel that Trump saw before deciding if the strikes were necessary, but I believe Trump is not a war monger and would have needed justification to order the strike. I trust him on that. But the argument that we should not fear retaliation is a stupid one. My response is, Trump threatened retaliation if Iran retaliates. Should Iran not fear retaliation too? I am not as concerned about retaliation as I am of initiating another prolonged war. If Iran retaliates and we retaliate again, then they retaliate and so on, we are in a war no one wants.

People are brave until the threat of death is close to them. Which of your loved ones are you willing to sacrifice for the greater good? Rest assured, there is a good chance someone will be sacrificed at some point.

Again, I am not arguing against the strike on Iran's nuclear development facilities. I am just not going to be giddy, or arrogant about it. To me this is a solemn occasion and a time to prepare for the possibility that Americans may die next.

Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. That much is very clear. But I don't think stopping them will be bloodless. I hope I am wrong.

As usual, far left Democrats are threaten Trump with impeachment because he somehow violated the constitution by bombing Iran. Of course this is not true. AOC is an idiot and knowns nothing. The constitution appears to give the president to use the military with only a suggestion that he inform the heads of departments involved in writing. The department involved is Defense, and Pete Hegseth was fully aware of the mission before it was initiated. The president met his constitutional obligations.

The War Powers act, which is probably unconstitutional because it is congress limiting the power of the president without an amendment to the constitution, only requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of the use of military forces. If Democrats need an explanation they should go ask Hillary Clinton who defending Obama's prolonged use of the US military in Libya.
