Don't know about you, but I'm getting this feeling that the Don, Israel, and the Saudis might be planning a parting shot for the Mad Mullahs?
The Don asked if it was possible and the generals said "Nah". But was that a falsie to throw everyone off the scent?
Then the Israeli media reported Netanyahu meet MBS, and the Saudis denied it.
Something's afoot.
From a practical political point of view, a dirty great crater where the Iranian nuclear weapons project used to be would suit the three players fine - and a bigger crater where Sleepy Joe's Iran and Middle East strategy might have been, even finer.
And in four years when the Mad Mullahs resurface from under the rubble, they'll be just in time to meet the Don again after his re-election to see if they fancy some more of where that came from!

I wonder what Vlad's response would be.

Israel, MBS, the Don, Dirty Erdy, the Hairies, and the Kurds, all versus Assad, Vlad and a pile of rubble.
A whimper I should think Ted!

The Israelis, with Sunni help, might do something unaided, before.Obama's ex VP is in place to oppose.
And why stop at nuclear installations? There's plenty of oil installations and the Saudis might want payback.

Yes Pat, with the Don behind those two as a proxy, laundering all, or as much as possible, of any direct US involvement.
Just like he's managed to do with Dirty Erdy and the Hairies, chucking them at full tilt into Assad and Vlad.
In my 40 or so years of being politically aware I don't think I've seen such a smart foreign policy manoeuvre done in so little time as the Don's turnaround in the US's fortunes in the ME.
Quite literally, every adversary is now fighting each other, and every ally on the same side doing all the dirty work. Just one US armoured Brigade, "Old Hickory", holding all the coats.
And yet because of the MSM and state education systems, not enough people know or comprehend it. And old Big Ears who handed over a shambles in the ME has the goddamn audacity to complain about "Truth Decay" since he left office! Jeez!

SoD, quite so. That Big Eared red bastard is part of the reason we got Trump. He knows his coup attempt against the incoming Trump adm will be memory holed once Biden takes office. He and the rest of the scheme will be clear...well of everything but the fact that millions of us on the Right never forget and never forgive a traitor.

"And in four years when the Mad Mullahs resurface from under the rubble, they'll be just in time to meet the Don again after his re-election...."
Regrettably, this may not be possible. As Hatred is the Left Wing creed, The Harris, Clinton, Obama government - Biden being quietly stashed away in a care home - will ensure that Trump, anyone who was in his administration, and anyone who voted for him, will be destroyed, financially and politically. Various members of the Democrat party, especially that single figure IQ's moron AOC, have already said something like, "We're coming for you." It has been said that Antifa and the Burn, Loot, Murder goons are already drawing up lists of those who didn't agree with their marxist aims.
All firearms will have to be surrendered, meaning that only the military and Police, under the control of the demrats, will have access to firearms, apart from criminals and members of Antifa and BLM, who will all follow their own agenda.
The result, I fear, will be a second civil war
I certainly hope I'm wrong, but I fear there may well be a second American civil war. Internationally, under a Biden government, within the next 4 years, Biden's paymasters, China, will invade Taiwan and the USA will do nothing to stop them.
Can someone remind me again what Private Fraser used to say in "Dad's Army"?

"under a Biden government, within the next 4 years, Biden's paymasters, China, will invade Taiwan and the USA will do nothing to stop them."
But at least there won't be any irritating Tweets from China Joe before and during.
Posted by: Whitewall | Wednesday, 25 November 2020 at 15:24
Whitewall, what evidence can you enlighten us with that China is Biden's paymaster? That's as silly as Russia being Trump's paymaster.

Blimey, Penseivat, I was having a bad day in the office and I just read your comment!
Anyone got the Dignitas phone number?

Bob, for four years we heard Russia/Trump as gospel and none of it was true. Today we have China/Biden family and there is at least one laptop belonging to a Biden that has evidence. The FBI-no they don't give me any confidence-but- they do have info from a Biden laptop and is already investigating...
So, if Trump Russia was gospel then this is too, with evidence to boot.
Posted by: Whitewall | Wednesday, 25 November 2020 at 18:09
Whitewall, Russia/Trump was gospel for whom? People who believe everything they hear on MSNBC? The Hunter Biden conspiracy theory is no more real:
"One month before a purported leak of files from Hunter Biden's laptop, a fake "intelligence" document about him went viral on the right-wing internet, asserting an elaborate conspiracy theory involving former Vice President Joe Biden's son and business in China.
The document, a 64-page composition that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump, appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm" called Typhoon Investigations, according to researchers and public documents."

"Whitewall, Russia/Trump was gospel for whom?" Bob you have an unusual aloofness when you need it. The Steele dossier was good enough to launch an attempted coup against Trump so the Hunter laptop serves the same purpose. No different. Fake intelligence firm did this? Another fake intelligence firm called the FBI did the one in 2016. NBC news is as dirty as the other networks as they are collaborators in the whole Trump/Russia impeachment scheme. Get used to it. China Joe is making Xi linga ping smile with amazement and delight. It's going to be a long four years.

Whitewall, I count at least 5 false statements in your comment.
Posted by: Bob | Thursday, 26 November 2020 at 15:26
Bob, Biden is not the man needed in these times of conflict in our present history. We British are spending and arming to deter China and Russia.Trump was on our side. Biden is self declared Irish and not an American. He should avoid the Book Depository.
