US President Donald Trump’s decision to wait two weeks before making a decision on whether or not to strike Iran could cost Iranian and Israeli lives.
ed note–as always, lots of ‘must knows’ that every Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to understand about all of this.
Firsto, ladies and Gentile-men, be not in the least bit swayed by this lying Jew’s faux concern for ‘Iranian lives’ being lost.
As a ‘good’ and ‘devout’ Jew, he celebrates Purim every year, where in commemorating how his ‘peeps’ slaughtered 75,000 Persians 2,500 years ago, eats pastries made out to resemble the body parts–eyes, ears, fingers, livers, hearts, whatever, of the 75,000 Persians said to have been mass murdered. He is a ghoul and a vampire and has no pity for ANY Gentile lives that are snuffed out in whatever act of Jewish ritual murder that is taking place, be it in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, or wherever.
What he is doing by plying his ‘concern’ for the loss of Iranian life is what all Jews are masters at doing–lying. He can’t come out and admit his Judaic bloodlust for what it is, and therefore, like the abortionist who pretends to have ‘compassion’ for the mother whose living child he/she is about to dismember, hides his fangs behind a smile of feigned humanity.
In cursing the Jews of His own day, Jesus Christ said it best, but unfortunately, too few paid attention–
‘YOU ARE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER, THE DEVIL, WHO WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE FATHER OF LIES…’

US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he might wait two weeks before deciding on whether to join the Israel-Iran war is a dangerous mistake. Unless this is a calculated misdirection aimed at maintaining the element of surprise, it’s a display of weakness and indecision that amounts to a gamble with Israeli and Iranian lives.
Trump has already blurred America’s position. In the days after Israel launched successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, he moved from implausible deniability to claiming that ‘we’ control Iran’s skies and boasting that Tehran paid the price of allegedly ignoring his 60-day deadline for compliance, then tweeted a demand for ‘unconditional surrender.’
That makes the US already a participant in the war, at least in the eyes of Tehran, and the question is what to do next. The worst answer is nothing – because that means Israel cannot stop, even if – absent a US entry – it should.
Israel’s achievements in the opening phase of the war against Iran have been substantial. Without US participation, Israel has successfully executed precision strikes deep inside Iranian territory, reportedly disabling key elements of the country’s nuclear infrastructure at Natanz and Isfahan. These strikes exposed the previous disabling by Israel of Iran’s air defenses, demonstrating extraordinary operational reach and tactical surprise. Israel has also systematically degraded Iran’s strategic capabilities by assassinating key military leaders and nuclear scientists.
This not only sent a clear deterrent message but has also put Iran’s regime on the defensive, exposing vulnerabilities and shaking public confidence. Tehran’s request for renewed negotiations speaks volumes; Israel has already achieved in a matter of days what years of sanctions and diplomacy failed to do: forcing the regime to recalculate.
What will Trump, Netanyahu do about Fordow?
But Israel cannot destroy the main enrichment facility in Fordow, which is deep underground, without a risky landing of commandos on the ground. And only the United States has the bunker-busting capability of destroying the facility from the air. That is what Trump is supposedly mulling.
If the aim is indeed to strike Fordow, then it is best done soon. The chances of success are very high, alongside the risks of Iranian retaliation, such as blocking the Straits of Hormuz and causing a global oil crisis, or attacking American bases in the region. But success would enable a declaration of victory and of mission – destroying the nuclear program – accomplished.
If there is no intention to strike, then there is an excellent option in pausing the war to test Iran’s overtures for renewed talks — but to do so with toughness and a clear deadline, and a visible willingness to return to war if necessary. Iran is clearly weakened and its regime degraded and rattled. Its proxy militias around the region have been sidelined. There is now a narrow window to try for a resolution that meets Western objectives, without immediate military escalation.
This moment could be used to demand dismantling of Fordow, cessation of uranium enrichment anywhere near weapons-grade, and a halt to Iran’s funding of militias in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and the Palestinian areas. If talks fail, military action remains on the table — and is even more justifiable. But if diplomacy succeeds, a greater goal will have been achieved at lower cost. There is no cost to a short, firm diplomatic initiative, particularly if it comes with a declared right to resume the war.
The current posturing accomplishes nothing strategically and risks squandering the element of surprise. It also changes the risk equation because Israel has struck most of what it can strike, while each passing day continues to bring a chance of a mass casualty event.
About five percent of Iran’s rockets are getting through the defenses of Israel and its regional and Western allies, and if one killed many people, Israel might feel compelled to escalate, this time for political reasons resulting from a random occurrence. Too much of history has played out that way.
The option of an attack is not indefensible, even if some Americans hear echoes of 2003 in it. Then, too, a US president promised precision and deterrence, in that case in Iraq, and delivered chaos and quagmire.
But the parallels are more psychological than substantive. There is no talk of a US invasion, and on the other hand, unlike Iraq, Iran’s nuclear program is real and confirmed by international monitors. It has enriched uranium to near weapons-grade and has stonewalled inspectors.
This crisis, in a way, is of Trump’s own making. His 2018 decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal, under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Washington hardliners, unraveled a functioning framework. At the time, Iran was in compliance. Enrichment was capped. Inspections were ongoing. International unity was strong. The deal wasn’t perfect – it allowed Iran to continue its missile program and fund regional militias – but it prevented a nuclear weapon. Abandoning it without a replacement was an idiotic move that brought on today’s crisis.
Now, Trump faces the results of that gamble. And the tragedy is that the outcome rests with three deeply flawed men: Trump himself, an impulsive populist governed more by performance than policy; Netanyahu, a criminal defendant who has repeatedly prioritized personal survival over national interest; and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, a repressive theocrat who has spent decades exporting instability.
Meanwhile, for people in the region, the danger is real and immediate. In Tel Aviv, families take shelter under missile barrages, and are in danger every day and night. Two more weeks of this, for them, is an infuriating dither.
Too late as according to the BBC (if true) he didn’t even wait two weeks and he has bombed Iran.

The orange fool just bombed Iran.
Yeah, all he needs to do now is order American boots on the ground as a precursor to a puppet regime. Never in my wildest dreams would I think of comparing him to George “w” Bush.
Interesting if true?
