Last week or anytime before today:

Anyone: mentions how Russia invaded our ally Ukraine and started a war...

MAGA: "Democrats cause endless wars... Trump wants to end them all and bring about peace... we should not get involved in Ukraine... etc,, etc., etc...."

TODAY:

Trump bombs Iran, getting us involved in an aggression started by our ally Israel.

MAGA: Not sure yet, but I am guessing there will suddenly be some positive spin on war and getting involved in an ally's mess.

Netanyahu sweet talked him into it by saying "it's the strong thing to do". He massages Trump's ego with the right words, and Trump does exactly what Netanyahu wants him to do.

So much for Trump's promise to "end the wars in the middle east". He's now potentially escalated this into WWIII.

Just a few days ago (maybe a week) they threatened: "Tomorrow we will wake up to something that will be talked about for centuries."

I don't take sides in Israel vs Islamic countries, but I'm a proponent of nuclear threat reduction. Who was gonna be the subject of their "centuries of talk" discussion? They don't like Israel and they don't like the USA, so I don't want to find out the hard way.

Who recently unfroze $8 billion dollars in Iranian money?

They've been babbling things for years, and Netanyahoo has been claiming
Iran is "this close" to having nukes since at least 1995. Up until a
couple of days ago, whatever they did would likely have targeted Israel.
Not now.

Well, whether it is nuclear or otherwise, we are more likely to find out
now.

I agree, that was dumb... but so was this.

As I said in another echo, not sure this will start a war in the
traditional sense as some of the potential reactionaries like Russia don't
seem too interested in jumping in on Iran's side.

On the other hand, we may have more of one "on terror" going on again soon.

MSNBC said "Iran threatened to unleash sleeper cells inside USA if it was attacked."

To me, that sounds like an invitation to attack Iran. I understand that not everyone would see it that way.

But I also wonder if the information is even true. Would the Iranian officials be that ignorant?

What makes me believe it's true is that the information (to me) came from MSNBC, and for them it's more beneficial to stick with "Poor little Iran did nothing to provoke the attack," but it seems like they accidentally leaked a little truth.

Ya. My take is that the fundamintalist Islam world are just children playing at being adults.

But I also think that they know that their "sleeper cells" fell apart when they came over and found America a much nicer place to live and raise a family.

In any case, most of those sleeper cells are probably in big Blue areas. With any luck, Antifa and the sleeper cells will wipe each other out.

I think if I moved to a new country then I'd prefer to live near the people who invited me. But let's not count on it; the mass deportations need to start moving a little faster (for the sake of our safety.)

Especially while the Trump admin has the green light to do so.

IHMO, I think they are moving as fast as possible given the manpower available.

Now that they aren't making it easy for ICE to find them - by "protesting" in a large group - it's necessairly going to take longer.

Based on how deserted some places are in California now, I'd say things are working fine. Hopefully more self-deporters are taking advantage of the program.

It seems to be going at a steady pace but we need the train to keep rolling without hitting any snags. The next census count is in 2030, so we're going to need another really good MAGA president to thwart George's plan.

There are certain illegals that I'm patiently watching and waiting to see them get removed, but it hasn't happened yet (they're not felons so maybe that's why.) So while I appreciate what I'm hearing on the news, the removals haven't "hit home" for me yet.

Oh, ya. It took decades to tear everything down. It will take longer to built it all back up - especially when the Elitists keep putting speed bumps in our path.

Non-felons are certainly low on the list. They are at least not causing problems.

IHMO: The problem ones, the ones that commit crimes (like drunk driving) are the ones that "stick up" and will go fast. Most of the rest will self-deport. Then we'll deal with the ones that are left.
