SecDef Hegseth reiterates that Trump’s position has not changed.
Trump is still seeking a deal with Iran, and the US MIL will maintain their DEFENSIVE posture.
There are no indications that the US are planning for any offensive involvement.
Trump says that he gave Iran a 60 day deadline to make a deal, they said no, and “on the 61st you saw what happened”.
Here’s my take:
Trump has been standing in the way of Israel attacking Iran, giving them an opportunity to come to a diplomatic resolution without direct war. Iran refused Trump’s offer to abandon their nuclear program, so Trump stepped out of the way of Netanyahu.
Now Trump claims Iran want to make a deal.
Trump just proved to Iran he is not messing around, that he follows through on his threats, and that their survival relies on Trump’s protection. Trump essentially went full mafioso on Iran.
I’m not necessarily saying I agree with it, but that’s what I think happened.
Additionally, I don’t believe Trump has any plans of dragging the US into this conflict directly. He has no desire for a prolonged war involving US troops. All he wants is for Iran to submit, give up the nuclear program, and reach an economic deal.
If Iran choose to make a deal, Trump will step back in the way.
Trump at the G7 Summit in Canada calls out Obama and Trudeau for kicking Russia out of the organization in 2014.
All Putin wants is for Russia to be respected and given a seat at the table in what he calls a “multi-polar world”. Instead, the West isolated Russia and turned Ukraine into a NATO proxy to fight Russia.
One could argue a soft/cold WW3 started in 2014. That was the moment the CIA/State Dept overthrew and took control of Ukraine, and the West completely isolated Russia.
Everything we are witnessing now stems from the catastrophic foreign policy decisions during the Obama regime.
Trump says he is going to use US trade as a negotiating tool to attempt to get Iran and Israel to reach an agreement, similar to how he did with India/Pakistan.
There are many who are desperate to make it seem like Trump wants war, but he does not. He wants a deal and peace.
Trump once again claims the US “had nothing to do with the attack on Iran”.
Trump warns Iran not to attack US bases and continues to offer a diplomatic off-ramp.
Hopefully diplomacy prevails and Iran do not poke the bear.
LMAO 😭
Swalwell celebrates that Trump is “getting his ass kicked in the courts”, and that the MSM push nonstop negative Trump coverage.
Then in the same breath, he calls Trump a “King”.
Who’s going to tell the Dems that Kings don’t listen to courts or tolerate negative press?
Swalwell just disproved the entire “King” narrative, but he and the democrat sheep are too stupid to grasp this. There is no logic to any of their outrage. It’s just the next iteration of “orange man bad”.
I’m not a missile expert, but does anyone else think that the warheads on these missiles seem to be small?
Maybe it’s just the angles, but the explosions seem minimal, I haven’t seen any buildings falling over, and I’ve yet to see official reports of casualties.
I’m not trying to downplay the situation, I just can’t help but notice that the video angles we have now show a lot of impact, but don’t show a lot of destruction. Maybe we will see the impact areas later on and my skepticism will look dumb, but as of now, it just appears like these strikes are more for show than for damage.
Something just feels off, and it feels like our emotions are being toyed with.
After more observation, here’s my take:
Israel wanted to do this strike for months, but Trump told Israel to stand down, to give Iran a chance for negotiations to end this diplomatically.
Iran refused to capitulate, so Trump stepped out of the way.
To be fair, Trump repeatedly warned Iran that this would happen if they did not come to the negotiating table and get rid of their nuclear program. That’s not to say I agree with the Israeli strikes, but Iran were given more than enough warning and refused.
Now that Iran are in a significantly weakened position, Trump is trying to step back into negotiations and offer Iran an economic deal to resolve this conflict, and give the Iranians an off-ramp to end this conflict before it gets worse for them.
Do I agree with how all this went down? Not really. I’d prefer to never have to result to air strikes, but perhaps the threat of not striking was greater, maybe there is intelligence that we don’t know about, maybe the situation is far more dire than we the public understand, maybe Iran truly did intend to use nuclear weapons, etc., etc.
On the bright side, the overall posture from Trump and his administration, is that they are not interested in engaging in the conflict directly, and I don’t see a scenario where US troops are involved.
Tensions are high, but I don’t think this is going to lead to WW3 or another drawn out US war in the Middle East.
The Trump admin just posted this official statement from Marco Rubio, claiming the US “are not involved in strikes against Iran”.
We will see where this whole thing goes, but the Trump admin claim they are not part of this.
Pretty significant post from Trump.
Sounds like diplomatic negotiations with Iran are back on.
Did Trump just convince Israel to stand down? Again?
If a Republican Senator did what Padilla did today, the Dems/MSM would be calling it a violent insurrection, would claim it was an assassination attempt, and Adam Kinzinger would be sobbing on CNN right now.
Spare us the charade, Libs.
Here is Democrat Senator Padilla being forced to the ground and handcuffed in the hallway by FBI officers.
I could get used to seeing politicians in cuffs like this.
Trump responds to questions about the reported tensions rising in the Middle East.
Trump confirms the non-essential US embassy workers near Iran are being moved out, and warns “it could be a dangerous place and we’ll see what happens”.
Let’s pray diplomacy prevails.
The New York Times are reporting that Musk called Trump late Monday night and that Elon is looking for a “path to a truce”.
However, take with a grain of salt, these are anonymous sources, from the NYT, but still something to keep on the radar.
Newsom’s message should have been “stay at home, stop rioting, stop obstructing federal agents from enforcing the law”.
Instead, Newsom said Trump was a dictator, threat to democracy, and encouraged more demonstrations nationwide.
This is what an actual insurrection looks like.
I didn’t think I would have to clarify this, but this post in no way indicates that the US are about to strike Iran.
Israel just said they are going to strike Tehran again, so Trump said get out.
Just observe. Wait and see what happens.
The hysteria is out of control.
Emotions are high due to the whole Israel/Iran situation, and understandably so, but I strongly advise others to avoid getting hung up on every report.
There are all sorts of entities with different interests trying to manipulate our emotions for different reasons.
In times like these, I find it’s best to stay fluid and adaptable. We have to consider that we as the public might not have all the pieces to the puzzle yet. Disinformation is rampant and things are never as they initially seem. Truth is always the first casualty of war.
Try to stay emotionally disconnected. Focus on observation and discernment. Focus on the things we can control. Remain fluid to change your position as new information becomes available, and don’t pigeonhole yourself.
But most importantly, don’t panic. It never solves anything.
The calm mind thinks more clearly and will lead you to a better result.
Trump with one of his most important posts ever.
He highlights how the Dems are using illegal immigrants to “expand their voter base” and “cheat in elections.
This is why the Dems/MSM are throwing a fit over ICE deportations. Because it’s a direct blow to their power. Their ability to steal elections and retain office relies on the illegal vote and illegals in blue states offsetting the electoral college.
The Dems don’t actually think Trump is a king, and they don’t actually care about the well-being of the illegals. They just don’t want Trump to blow up their treasonous election fraud scheme.
This is also why the Dems don’t want the border secure and want voter-ID. Because they are cheating in elections.
I thought the “No Kings” protests would be a little more populated and thought tonight could be the beginning of a BLM-like “summer of love”.
So far it seems like a dud.
Mostly a bunch of old people.
The Dems’ ability to mobilize their foot soldiers appears to be waning.
On the bright side, Trump and Putin had a productive phone call today, and seem to be on the same page regarding the Israel/Iran situation.
Trump’s stance is that all these wars need to end.
Trump has no desire for the US to get entangled in another war.
If you have been inspired to go out and protest Donald Trump today, just know that you are the useful idiots of Deep State NGO’s.
You are the easily manipulated foot soldiers used to create chaos for regime-change operations.
You are the victims of a global psyop.
Iran reportedly launched hundreds of ballistic missiles on Israel, and not all were intercepted.
Iran are reportedly striking air bases and military installations.
Still in observation mode for now.
My initial assessment of the situation:
It appears Netanyahu is trying to drag the US into this conflict and get us to fight their war for them.
Similar to Zelensky.
The Deep State are trying to derail Trump from accomplishing his mission by dragging us into a direct war.
Reports of Israel striking Iran, and the Trump administration have reportedly said they will not partake in any such strikes.
Disinformation and panic are about to spread like wildfire.
I implore everyone to observe and react, not try to project and predict.
Stay frosty.
The Dems/MSM are now claiming that the Padilla situation crosses a “red line”.
Meanwhile, in reality, the Biden regime raided Trump’s home, indicted him, arrested him, tried to imprison him, tried to bankrupt him, and then tried to kill him…
The line was crossed LONG ago.
I did a quick check on Padilla’s account to see if he believes anyone is above the law.
Imagine that. 🤣
Holy shit.
California Democrat Senator, Alex Padilla, attempts to crash DHS Secretary Noem’s press conference, has to be forcibly removed by law enforcement, and is reportedly under arrest.
Why is it Democrat politicians feel they are above the law?
If Newsom and Bass want to keep playing this game, I am all for it.
The Trump DOJ just proved they can and WILL indict Democrat politicians. They just indicted Dem Congresswoman, LaMonica McIver, for obstructing ICE.
What are Bass and Newsom doing right now?
Obstructing ICE.
Elon squeezed this one in at 3AM EST in case you missed it.
Elon admits he went too far.
This relationship must be repaired for the good of humanity.
Or was it all just an elaborate gambit?
Accountability!
Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver, was just indicted on federal charges for impeding and interfering with ICE officers at a New Jersey Immigration center last month.
She faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison.
We have entered the “find out” stage.
