1. And they are all in situation room now...

16. Now called the "shituation" room...

while the current regime is in residence.

2. What I've read is most of our bases in the region have been evacuated, I guess we will see. nt

3. Airspace over Qatar closed. Americans told to shelter in place -eom-

4. Excuse

Give the US (not just Israel) the excuse to take out any and all missiles and their missile command, production and fuel facilities in Iran? Pretty dumb move. Makes as much sense as "closing" the Strait of Hormuz, as if that were achievable by Iran. They are going to lose all their missiles and boats, whether or not we got their nuke weapons program.

18. Sure, let me see

We "drcimated North Korea's military.

We "decimated" Vietnam's" military.

We "decimated" Iraq's.military.

We "decimated" Afghanistan's military.

It's so fucking easy to break things..Just ask Purin.

We have the most lethal military the world has ever seen. I have posted before that we could turn the entire planet into a "no-fly" zone if we wanted to.

It's what happens after that's fucking dangerous as fuck!

It's why the delicate.post WWII balance was so tirelessly built, negotiated and maintained.

We've left what was built out of the last worldwide conflagration to Donnie Fipshit and a drunk fucking Weekend Warrior Major.

Congrats MuriKKKA

5. No worries

Our amazing new BFF, Saudis, will step right in and put an end to attacks against trump and protect us all from any dangers in the Middle East.
Do I need this:

9. To their credit, Saudi Arabia realized its more beneficial

To focus on making peace with their neighbor and major historic religious rival, and focus on their economic growth. They are pouring billions into tech infrastructure and establishing better trade relations with China, India, and even Russia, who they have had their own proxy conflicts with in the past.

MBS may be vicious but he isn’t stupid. He also knows that kissing trumps ass goes only so far.

15. To their credit

They bred the 9/11 murderers. And gave the Kushners 2 billion dollars, and dump much more on Trump and GQP politicians that are hell bent on ending our democracy.
Maybe they have changed, but when they show us who they are……..
They are sure helping the economic growth of the trump family.

6. A barrage of at least ten ballistic missiles has reportedly been fired at airbases in Qatar and Iraq

As far as sourced:

TEHRAN, Jun. 23 (MNA) – Media in Iraq said Monday night that Iran fired as many as six missiles at the US Ai Assad Base in Iraq while explosions were also in Qatari capital of Doha.

Reuters reported that US troops air defense over Ain Al-Assad Base in west of Iraq was activated on Modnay night after Iran missile attack.

Media also reported UAE airspace was closed after suspected Iran's retaliatory missile attack.

-snip-

Iran's IRIB says that the name of the retaliatory operation is Victory Message.

12. I'm sure he and his bonespurs would be very comfortable there.

8. I've been watching the ABC special report

Then NBC and CBS chimed in.

So far, no reports of damage.

This may change.

11. Qatar claims that the base was evacuated and that...

the missiles were intercepted.

Is that claim true or false?
