Iran So Far Away: 2026

Turns out the laundry fire story about the USS Gerald Ford WAS complete bullshit. Iran knocked the piss out of it.

Trump: Iran hit the Ford from 17 angles. We ran to save our asses. “They came at the biggest carrier in the world from 17 directions. We ran. End of story.” So the Pentagon just made up stories about a “laundry fire.” This administration has lied to us the entire time. Iran hit the USS Gerald...

I like how the Pentagon comes up with a cover story and this clown can't even follow the script. Imagine him at other points in history.
"We're sneaking into the beach in Normandy. Oh sure, they'll be expecting us in Calais, but we're brilliant and concocted this elaborate deception campaign. The tanks up there aren't even real! Can't wait to see the look on Rommel's face when he wakes up to find us off the coast of France!"

It's fake.

Did a video clip really show US President Donald Trump claiming Iran struck the world's biggest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford from "17 angles", with planes lifting off every 32 seconds at one in the morning? The answer is no.

The quote in question was taken from a lengthier video in which Trump was clearly voicing the imagined reaction of a Venezuelan general to American military strikes on Venezuela. He never said Iran attacked an aircraft carrier, nor did he put the words "ran for our lives" in the mouths of US personnel.

A full reading of the transcript leaves no room for ambiguity — the section about the US aircraft carrier was a reference to the Venezuela operation, and not with the Iranian war. Trump's speech suggests that the individuals described as being hit from 17 angles and fleeing were Venezuelans, not Americans.

Edited clips from the speech were circulated on X alongside the claim that Trump had spoken about an Iranian strike on the USS Gerald R. Ford, with one post paraphrasing him as saying: "Iran attacked from 17 directions. We fled to save our lives. It was all over." That framing is a misrepresentation of what he actually said.

Typically, when authoritarians have cover stories where 5,000 witnesses can contradict them, they kill the witnesses.

One of the benefits of killing the concept of truth is that you don't have to kill witnesses. Who cares if they saw anything? Who cares if any of them talk? It's all just rumor and speculation. Even video evidence can be faked.

Besides, what are the consequences if every word of it was true?

Absolutely right.
 
Saw some chatter online today that Donnie is losing interest in contuning to deal with Iran...

$10 says he truly believes he can just hand command of the situation to JD or someone else and they will clean up the mess he has made. Gonna get real interesting when Iran keeps poking back on this. Donnie has zero idea what he's started here.

He's getting old. When does he do the Nixon and give JD the job in exchange for a full and complete pardon for all federal charges past, present, and future, for life?

Iran knows they are in the drivers' seat. Dump (or JD) can declare victory but Iran can keep the cost of risking the Strait too high. This ends when they say it does.

If Iran wants a truly visionary new start they should demand Dump be delivered to the ICC for crimes against humanity. The terms would be this, the offer delivered by Iran jointly to the ICC and the UN General Assembly:

1) Iran forgoes nuclear weapons research and development forever as anti-Islamic.
2) Iran recognizes the state of Israel in perpetuity.
3) Iran cuts off all support for its regional proxies and gives up all contact information and documentation.
4) Iran commits to accountability of its officials for all past terrorism and crimes against its own people, apologizes to the world, and humbly asks to be invited back to the community of nations.
5) In exchange, all states drop all sanctions and embargoes against Iran, and Dump and Netanyahu are personally delivered into the custody of the ICC for crimes against humanity.

Israel and the US and probably Saudi, The Axis of Hegemony, goes insane. The rest of the world can see a path out and Shia Islam gets a big boost in the Invisible Man Olympics. The AoH overreacts, commits further war crimes, and further alienates the rest of the world. Russia and China lick their chops as the US moves closer to utter collapse. Everybody wins.

This. FDR was famously almost never photographed or recorded in his wheelchair. It's been 80+ years. Dump could be drooling on himself and they'd find a way to keep up appearances with high-quality deepfakes. We wouldn't be fooled, but this White House doesn't care about people smart enough to see through bullshit.
 
He has stolen billions, why doesn't he retire to eat Big Macs and be diddled by 13-year olds forced to undergo breast augmentation while wiping him with Benjamins like wet naps? I don't get it. He has Croesus money and Caligula tastes. Why doesn't he indulge them and put all this demanding agita that obviously bores and/or irritates him behind?
