Can somebody remind under what authorization this was undertaken? Not being snarky. Just asking. 

John Thune’s sycophancy on these strikes while being Sen Majority leader is odd to me. 

Let's be real, that horse left the barn a long, long time ago.

How is Iran a threat again?

The administration is citing Iran's intransigence in negotiations over their nuclear program. 

Not quite "imminent."  

 

 

Weren't we told, by the white house, that Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed not even a year ago?

Trump is well beyond giving a shit what his detractors think.  

He still cares. He's a narcissist, not a psychopath. 

I'm not sure Trump's detractors have ever affected his decisions, though--other than doubling down.

Yup. But they still want to rebuild. Or the admin lied/exaggerated

I think we obliterated what we could with air- strikes.  That’s not the same thing as ending their program.

I don’t think he cares what any Democrat thinks.  The intense hatred and unthinking opposition to every breath he takes has caused him to be more intense and impulsive.  He has some very good ideas that we should be able to move forward with . . .but no.

Venezuela could rightly be viewed as a "surgical" operation. This one, not so much.

Al Jazeera chalks it up to Israeli strikes. Not sure how they could delineate:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/28/israel-strikes-two-schools-in-iran-killing-more-than-50-people

BTW, couldn't get your link to work.  Is that some revolutionary jihadi site you frequent? JDB, DO NOT click on it!!

I agree that a lot of TDS is irrational. But I also think (1) he's "moved forward" with his ideas--can you name any that he has not?; and (2) we should be able to roundly, bi-partisanly criticize his actions and ideas that are harmful. Tribalism on both sides should be lamented.

There are reports that the "Supreme Leader" is now dead but not confirmed. Will it be "next man up" from the religious leaders or will something new happen in Iran?

I think it's somewhat irrelevant. There is no head of the snake in Iran. Killing Khamenei doesn't change much of anything on the ground. That's not the way their system was built.
