We killed his wife and child. We are such a great nation. |
And he ordered the murders of thousands and thousands of his own citizens. You sure have a case of misplaced sympathy for these vile POS. DP |
I thought it only really worked for tj draft — that you have to show you are totally non violent like a Quaker. So if yo voluntarily signed up for tj military you don’t meet CO status unless you’d had a religious conversion. |
The guy that did that is still alive you idiot. We only killed his wife and child. What did that accomplish? |
Well you thought wrong because military law allows a CO status at any time. |
| The speech was Trump regurgitating the same bull shit he has been saying for weeks. He is completely owned by foreign interests. |

Disgusting how they deliberately attack educational, cultural, and historical monuments as a war strategy. More war crimes.
I couldn't think of anything historical in America that's comparable to destroying 1000s of years old historical sites. But imagine if a foreign country targeted Harvard, Yale, and MIT out of spite. ‘Permanent scar’: Iran minister on US-Israeli attacks on monuments https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/4/1/irans-minister-civilisational-identity-under-fire-in-unprecedented-war side the shattered halls of the Qajar-era Golestan Palace, the intricate glass and stonework that make the complex a “flower garden” have been replaced by a carpet of jagged glass. Shards from the 19th-century mirrored ceilings now crunch under the boots of curators, while the heavy scent of dust hangs where royal perfumes once lingered. In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, Reza Salehi Amiri, Iran’s minister for culture and tourism, described the destruction during the US-Israel war on Iran as a “deliberate and conscious attack” on Iranian identity. “We are not talking about stone and mortar,” Amiri said, gesturing to a mangled chandelier. “We are talking about the memory and history of a people. This stone represents who we are.” Amiri argued that even during the 1980s’ war with Iraq, Iran’s historical monuments remained largely shielded from systematic destruction. “What we see today is a total collapse of the moral and legal rules that used to govern conflicts,” Amiri said. “The targeting of these sites is a dangerous development, not just for Iran, but for the global idea of heritage protection.” The scale of the devastation is vast. Since the conflict began on February 28, the ministry has recorded damage to at least 56 museums and historical monuments across the country. While the United States and Israel maintain they are striking military targets, the ministry’s data tells a story of cultural loss. In Tehran alone, 19 locations have been hit, including the Grand Bazaar and the former senate building. |
The US military is receiving targeting data from the Israelis. The US military is effectively on loan to the Israelis with no rules of engagement. |

I think the Houthis suddenly raising their hand made America and Israel wave the white flag. If you thought strait of Hormuz was bad,
Google bab al Mandeb. the Red Sea /Suez Canal shutting down would be the real show. Hormuz is just the dress rehearsal. |

The problem is now that Iran is charging tolls for tankers, the Houthis and perhaps Somalis will take advantage of their prime
Maritime real estate. This is also why Israel is trying to get landlocked Ethiopia to take back some of the Red Sea to counter the Iranian ring of resistance in Yemen. Ethiopia just like the Saudis would fail this war and Israel knows it but it’s worth trying to at least tire out Houthis to send missiles Ethiopia’s way instead of Israel’s way is the thinking |
| Can someone please explain to me why we’re at war? Make to Make Sense!!! |

People think third worlders are stupid but they’re more savvy and competent than educated bureaucrats. I predict due to Iran’s control and Trump’s complete abandonment of allies, we will see a rise in piracy perhaps not of US ships because they know Trump isn’t soft on use of force but of European ships. The pirates will take advantage of Trump’s rift and assume that Trump will not come to Europe’s aid the same way Europe isn’t assisting with Hormuz and instead, paying Iran
The fees |
Really why would any country allow piracy when it takes away from the money they are charging for safe passage? Also the US does not have a shipping fleet. So Trump will not do jack. What would you do? Your oil cost $5-$10 a barrel to produce. Iran says you will have to pay a $5 a barrel fee to use the strait. World price of oil is $100 a barrel. Avoid the headache, pay the fee and continue to rank in oil profits or have no oil profits? |
