If news reports are true, and the Saudi's and other Gulf States have decided to join in the offensive attacks against Iran, it's the game-changer I was hoping might happen if we did wind up getting into this conflict. It would be the first time they've ever actively joined the U.S. and Israel against another Arab country. Saudi Arabia and Israel are both tied into the U.S. CentCom system now, so they can all coordinate.

This would be a best case scenario where the Arab nations take the active role in shaping their own region after Iran is demilitarized. Trump's visit earlier last year to the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia to patch back relations from the Biden Administration might pay big dividends for lasting peace in the region.

Sounds like the more moderate/secular Muslim nations/states are finally fed up, and willing to step in. (If news reporting is true. Might be early yet to confirm.)

This is what I am reading as well. Hopefully those new reports are true.

Iran is attacked by Israel and the US. Iran’s response is attack everybody.

Iran is like the present day Demoncratic party -- a bunch of rabid dogs!

You literally can’t make this stuff up… 

This is the hidden content, please

Those FBI agents that Patel fired last week simply because they had the AUDACITY to investigate a report of criminal activity, Trump’s mishandling of classified documents? It turns out most of them worked for a special fbi counterintelligence unit tasked with tracking Iranian threats.

This is what happens when you have a guy that builds hotels in charge of your military, intelligence, etc… it’s like having a drunk raccoon perform a root canal on you with a hammer.

sources say....

Have you not learned anything....That is not why they were fired. 

You are no better that hunterbidens laptop and the others that just post for a reaction and no real truth.  

 

Just in case you forgot

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles’ attorney in 2023 is disputing claims that he agreed to let the Biden-era FBI record a call with his client without her knowledge, according to a report.

"If I ever pulled a stunt like that I wouldn’t – and shouldn’t – have a license to practice law," the unidentified attorney said, according to Axios. "I’m as shocked as Susie."

Parroting the same democrat vs. republican rhetoric in 2026 shows how far behind you are.

You’re still learning to tie your shoes and everyone else is playing 4D chess.

Israel bombed the crap out of Lebanon.

It really looks like all the moderate Arab players in the region have had enough. I saw something earlier today where Lebanon had told Hezbollah "No more missiles fired from our country." We'll have to see if they actually enforce it. But, this type of alliance by the locals is definitely what everyone should want--except China, Russia, & the terrorists themselves of course. No idea what will happen to the Houthis. But, if they don't get support, it's not as if they can engineer ballistic missiles on their own.

I'm becoming a little more optimistic than I was before this started. Like you, and almost everyone else, I still wish for safety for those in harm's way. I still think we have a ways to go. But, can't stop now and leave things half done again. If Saudi & others are on board & willing to form almost like a 'Gulf NATO', our best interest is to help them, finish this quickly, and get out except for our normal relations.

I remember posting a response to Reagan in another thread that I trusted our planners and military, but I didn't trust this Administration with the 'after the fact' issues. Maybe, by Iran attacking it's neighbors, this issue has been solved, they are ready to step in, and we won't have to worry about the messy part. I'm sure most of the Iranians would prefer to work with their neighboring countries anyway as they rebuild. They have a lot more in common with them than they do the U.S.

I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said!

We haven’t lost a war. 

Korea…. The communists still hold the North, and they’d take the South tomorrow if we weren’t still standing guard 70 years later. 
 

Vietnam… that’s an “L,” brother. 
 

Iraq… I’d say 1991 was a win, technically, even if we didn’t take out saddam.  But the second time? WMDs weren’t found. That’s another L. 
 

Afghanistan… seeing as to how our friends were falling off the last flight out and the Taliban took back over instantly, that’s an L, too. 
 

I guess you measures wins in some means other than “we accomplished what we set out to do.”

None of these L's were actual wars, brother!   But I get your point!

This is why I said conflicts. I also said what was key that was missed. The U.S. military has never lost a conflict ON THE ACTUAL BATTLEFIELD.

The politicians have caused some embarrassing withdrawals when they’ve lost their will after handicapping the military all during the engagements. Y’all can’t imagine the ROE’s that were thrown out by politicos that haven’t a clue.

I don’t know how it is now. But, I doubt it’s any better. Sometimes, we wondered whose side they were on. It was literally that bad.
