>Qatari Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani dies at 74
Death, death, and more death!

Interestingly, he was one of few Middle Eastern leaders to abdicate an inherited position (in 2013) instead of holding on to power like a drowning cat. ALSO interesting is I can't find a cause of death, so far.

Less than politically impactful, but I thought it was interesting: a Gazan collecting books in the ruins. God bless him for holding onto a mote of civilization as best he can.

That's pretty impressive actually, given the utterly bleak circumstances they are all in rn due to the kikes. I hope he makes it in the end.
>t. I love books too.

I feel like that sort of strike is the right idea for Iran. They really need to start killing Americans and Israelis in ways which can't easily be denied in order to start cutting into their strategic copium reserves.

>So why aren't these donkeys declaring war on Iran?
Because the only real prize is telling Iran that it's open season on hunting them. Their defensive stockpiles will not magically improve if they formally declare war. The dangers to themselves, their military, and their government apparatus, on the other hand, go up immensely. Sure they can hit Iran harder by more significantly involving their own assets, but that's not really a winning move for them. They're not expecting to defeat Iran, the US is having issues targeting useful attacks to the point of using AI to generate more targets, and the escalation ladder for doing damage to the civilian sector can end in their own desalination plants and power plants being destroyed and their whole country going back to the stone age. It's very high risk and low reward.

There needs to be a special "Clarity Act" passed on this gentleman's brain. Thinking that this individual has it's finger on the button is unsettling to say the least.

The thing is that while you can trick the American people, the world, and the markets you can't actually trick the physical amount of oil that exists in the reserves. Which is strangely something that even Trump himself acknowledged when he agreed to the ceasefire and MoU. So effectively all he did was pause the situation for a couple of weeks but without any clear way to either win or extricate himself from this war. It wasn't long enough of a pause to refill the reserve, or to get Republicans past the midterms, nor was it a strategic pause to be able to maneuver more equipment in for an attack. So I'm not sure what the point was? Is Trump even sure what the point was? He doesn't seem to have a plan. Threats aren't working so he's going to have to make good on them (and probably cause worse problems for the US and likely still not win) or he's going to have to swallow his pride and get out of the war in Iran (and he'd likely have to resign right after as well).

So good luck with that I guess.

Iran will get the most beautiful nuclear strike in US history, better than when we bombed the Taliban in '45, it will build back a stable flow of oil below $3 a gallon better than the dum Bidet admin and boost the US Nuclear Industry which is the greatest on the planet, China doesn't want this but we won't let them take Tibet and our beautiful air conditioners EU climate clowns can only gawk at, thank you for your attention on this matter.

You're completely right, this is the sort of fiasco that calls for a resignation.

He's never going to swallow his pride. That's one of the things driving this man.

Looks like I forgot to post one. I was likely dustracted by her sexy accent.

That's a good point. The next round of strikes on Naval targets may be programmed to hit bridges or flight decks so the US can't blame dsgruntled plumbers for ship withdrawals.  I doubt theyll pull decapitation strikes when their enemies are so aggressively fucking incompetent, however.

>>19099

Heyyyl naw, I bleed red, white, and blue! But I can't hate the Iranians for defending themselves nor can I hate the late Ayatollah for trying to do right by his people, even if their waay of life is largely incompatible with ours. He was clearly loved and respected by millions based on the turnout, regardless of our propaganda. Respect where it's due, he stood up to us and the yids knowing how steep the climb is.

Funs. Funs never changes.

>"An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.6 on the Richter scale shook the vicinity of Sefid Sang in Mashhad."
Now that's some intredasting timing.
A.  How does a typical underground nuke test register on the Richter Scale?
B.  What armament do the kikes run that would create that level during a surface strike?

They can't fight their own wars anyway. When Saddam invaded the Gulf they asked America for help. And they couldn't even deal with the Houthis.

>>19120
YEEEHAWWWW

The kikes had former president Ahmadinejad all lined up to be a puppet for them. Which has been going on for years. And apparently the strikes freeing him on day one led the Persians to figure out just how much he was in service to the kikes. They apparently were looking to arm Iraq militias to invade Iran and help install him.
That never happened.  The impulsive dementia patient was sold a fake promise. And now everyone pays, because the last thing he can be seen as publicly is weak, and/or an idiot.

The problem is it would take months of peace to get a somewhat constant supply of oil to refill the reserves. And from there it would take years without further issues to bring it back to the capacity it was pre Covid, which the reserve was already greatly depleted from.

Burgers need to improve drone defensive techniques or they'll lost every military base that isn't West of Jordan.
