No doubt China, their one ally capable of rendering any semblance of aid, would love their already struggling economy being brought to a standstill

There should be so incredibly much to gain from such a move to make it worthwhile, that it seems pretty unlikely that anyone would care of the mullahs so much. The usual suspects must have seen the writing on the wall and pretty much have their plates full at the moment or are in such of a happy place that backing a failing regime with more than thoughts and positive vibes would yield any concrete benefits.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some bits of Iranian nuclear/rocket tech/marine build know how to appear in the bestests of Koreas. Can't think of too many other places to have any particular need for such stuff, unless some random country in Africa wants to have a go..

The only one 'allegedly' is Pakistan. As a true recipient nation, with no natural resources, I cant see them doing anything. As to NK, I'd think keeping a low profile, and hoping Putin takes the next kicking, would be a good plan.

You'd expect a press conference after the NSC meeting

*B-2 engines warming up in the background -sound*

Trump, in Air Force one, flying over the B2's no I love Iran, beautiful country, beautiful people, so much they could have a beautiful future. Of course I want peace. Looking forward to sitting down next week with the Iranian Government to discuss it.

Not mentioning who that government is going to be.

To an extent, yes. But having a team of drone (the lawnmower variant) experts around in the meantime might be an investment. One might think that if the options are hiding in some -stan, waiting for that beeper to go off or getting a gov. standardized hair cut in an another variant of closed society would start to sound tempting.

It's the bad kind of f***ing

For the iranians to go to? Sure, NK can be nice, if you like regular starvation, minefields on the border, and cars without airbags or ABS. Probably a step up from Hillman Hunters.

Again got to take with salt.

I do believe it seems quite likely now that the US will strike Fordow with their GBUS because Israel just can't do anything like it. Perhaps some other limited strikes and then done, with Israel left to finish what they started. Absolutely no boots on the ground, wham bam, thank you Uncle Sam. The good ending.

Admitting any prior knowledge amounts to an admission of guilt.

 

[Euroamerican]

Claim innocence, Fluff........


-----
As to GBUs..... If they sent over that many tankers and little buddies, they either are preparing a big strike package or a robust "ready to go" contingency.

They're gonna claim the same thing that was said about Iraq. The radiation sniffing aircraft being seen moving around is another possible sign that they expect to find some radiation, have already started finding some, or want to assure us all that there WAS something radioactive that really needed a good drubbing.

Kristi Noem was apparently taken to the hospital. No doubt within 5 minutes Trump will be blamed for slapping her around for not playing ball

Well there is no secret here to be sniffed, Iran itself openly admits that it is producing weapons-grade uranium "for peaceful purposes".

I could see trump offering 2 options.

1. US bombs fordow, Iran stands down, no air defense. No further action from USA, Israel, you and Iran sort it out.

2. Same, but Iran doesn’t stand down, means USA spends 2 weeks destroying anything military it fancies. Same outcome for Iran, but way more damage.
