    Or it’s a reflection of self. Some people just have no executive function and let things go to ****. Whether it’s their home, their car, or their personal relationships, they figure out ways to turn them all into wastelands.

    oh lookie, another bipolar take like the Russian war.

    israel stated Iran was weeks away from getting a nuke but the leftist mocked them and stated years.
    Now the leftist claim Iran can build one in 6 months … lol … because they ***know*** how.
    Little did I know the reason the average person wasnt building nukes in their basement was because they were too stupid to google how to make nukes.

    Right, because when I hear the words "suicide" and "bombers", Iran is the last thing that pops into my head!

    All joshing aside, good post.

    [BBC] Iran says it's closing Strait of Hormuz and accuses US and Israel of violating ceasefire deal

    Summary
    • Iran says it is closing the Strait of Hormuz and accuses the US and Israel of violating the ceasefire, after continuing Israeli strikes in Lebanon
    • A deal - signed by the US and Iran earlier this week - outlined 14 points to bring about an end to the war
    • The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels, through which about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passes
    • All eyes will now be on President Trump to see what pressure can be applied to its ally, Israel to force it to rein in its military operation in Lebanon, wirtes BBC's Jon Donnison

    I don't know who the "left" is - probably your imaginery boogieman.

    Iran can build a nuke in less than a year. That's a fact. You can bomb them and take their uranium. At most you can buy a year. Only a moron can't remember that Trump bombed them a year ago - so how are they just weeks away again? Either Israel is lying (shocking) or you're an idiot that can't add timelines. Which is it?

    Putting it on a rocket? That takes years.

    But yeah, one thing you got right: Little do you know. Lol.

    Not to be pedantic but Iran’s MO is missiles, drones, and militias, not suicide bombers.

    Suicide bombers are an ISIS thing and ISIS hates Iran for being fake Muslims.

    Even Hezbollah and Houthis do not use suicide tactics.

    Looking at a list of attacks over the last 26 years, even Hamas stopped using them. They peaked in 2002-2003 when Saddam was sending payments to the families of the suicide bombers and sharply fell off as a tactic in 2008.

    Militias like Hamas and Hezbollah, right? They're no slouch when it comes to suicide bombings, as it turns out.

    More the random paramilitary groups in Iraq than hamas and hezbollah. Hamas would exist with or without Iran. Hezbollah is Irans pet project in Lebanon.

    But think about the war we all fought in the late 2010s against ISIS.

    You had the U.S. Iraq Syria (Assad) Iran Russia and Saudi Arabia all teaming up to fight ISIS across Iraq and Syria. ISIS was the only group using suicide tactics.

    They've since significantly civilized themselves, moving on to hiding their weapons in schools, hospitals, etc.

    Progress!

    ISIS has since perfected the art form, no doubt. That doesn't change the fact that Iran - through its proxies - has plenty of experience in the field of suicide attacks.

    Not defending those tactics, just pointing out they’re not the guys we picture with the turbans and long robes with a bomb vest underneath.

    Even Syria’s Jolani wears a suit and gets to go to the White House. It’s a new world.

    We will see and we're giving them that money with conditions. BTW, it's their money that is frozen. I personally wouldn't give them a dime.

    What would winning the war look like to you?
