30. Nobel peace prize in this for sure! /sarcasm
Tue Jun 24, 2025, 02:20 AM
Jun 24

Trump puts on his big boy pants, and shows Iran his bigly fierce WMDs in action.

See Iran? Trump has spoken, brought eternal peace to the land by taking away your (imaginary, future) nukes, and gets you to behave in a more civilized manner.
No more war, Trump polishes his high lift shoes for the inevitable award ceremony where he gets the Nobel Peace prize!

Meanwhile, Bibi wets his pants because Trump once again did exactly what Bibi wanted!

Couple of sticking points:
1. Iran may or may not have had a lot of 60% refined nuke fuel, and Iran may or may not have shifted it to a more secret location.
2. Iran now knows what a bully boy both Bibi and Donald are, and is likely to step up any pre-nuke work just to get the same deterrent as Israel and the US already have.
3. The Middle East has a long history of neighbours disliking each other, to the point where warfare breaks out.
Trump's superficial actions and need for the Nobel thing won't make any difference.
4. Any suggestions for 'regime change' should apply equally to Israel and the US.
