Re: Trump Bombed Iranian Nuclear Site Fordo Today. Are We in WW 3?
It’s looking like the so-called ‘Most Transparent Administration in History’ has not been completely upfront about the amount of damage taken by US-owned materials and infrastructure as it continues to wage its war to reopen the Strait that it closed after picking a fight with Iran:
Satellite imagery suggests far more US assets in Middle East hit by Iran than reported
New report says Iranian air strikes damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures since February
By MEE staff
Published date: 6 May 2026 15:13 BST
Satellite imagery appears to show that the damage inflicted by Iran on US assets in the Middle East has been severely downplayed in previous reporting.
An investigation by the Washington Post reveals Iranian air strikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at US military sites across the Middle East since the war began in late February.
The buildings hit include hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, and key radar, communications and air defence equipment.
According to the outlet, this puts the scale of the damage much higher than previously admitted by the US government.
Iranian strikes have killed seven American service members in the Middle East - six in Kuwait and one in Saudi Arabia - while more than 400 troops have suffered injuries.
Iran has struck numerous sites across the Middle East in response to the US-Israeli attack on the country, which has left more than 3,500 people dead, according to the US-based Iranian rights group Hrana.
Iranian strikes have primarily targeted American assets in the Gulf states.
The United Arab Emirates said Iran launched strikes into its territory for a second day in a row on Tuesday, with a barrage of missile and drone attacks.
One of those attacks, Abu Dhabi said, set an oil refinery in Fujairah ablaze, wounding three Indian nationals.
On Monday, Washington began escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Centcom said the operation, dubbed "Project Freedom", was supported by more than 100 aircraft and about 15,000 personnel.
But after just one day, on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he was halting the military operation in a bid to reach a deal with Iran to end the war.
Iran had closed the waterway in response to the US-Israel assault.
A key energy chokepoint, through which about a fifth of the world’s crude oil and liquefied natural gas flows, the Strait of Hormuz is bordered on one side by Iran and on the other by Oman.
The closure of the waterway has resulted in the largest supply loss in history: more than 10 million barrels of oil per day and a 20 percent cut in global liquefied natural gas supply, the International Energy Agency said.

Yes, the Iranian news sources have said this for over a month. The U.S. is just playing catch up.....but this is their modus operandi..... leave out all the details (since they are ALL very bad, including how MANY Americans have died in this immoral stupid war, 13 is vastly too low), because Trumnp is so..........erm............. truthful. America lost this war. Not a single objective the administration sought for at the beginning has been accomplished, NOT. A. SINGLE. ONE. A complete loss for America. But! Chin up, It's only costing us a mere $2,000,000,000 a day, and very soon Iran will have its nuclear weapon just like Trump wanted! Oh wait.

It would be worth a serious journalist (I’m looking at you Greenwald) drawing up a comparison between the agreements with Iran that were in place immediately after Obama, and the one now being sought. I would wager that after all this Iran will be better off, and America et al will be worse off. And Trump will declare it the most beautiful bestest agreement in the history of humanity.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

I never worry about insulting MAGAtes by mentioning how damned stupid they are. I've been warned that it just makes them more intractable.
What people forget with that argument is that you can't fix stupid. So what if they're insulted? It won't change anything, whether you coddle the damned babies or not. Some babies can't grow up. That's what MAGAtes have demonstrated.
Besides, it makes me feel better to call that spade a spade. I can't slap sense into them, so I point out how idiotic and ignorant they are to calm myself.

They seem to be on approximately the same cognizance competency level as flat earthers. No amount of evidence, no matter how incontrovertible will persuade them to ever consider the possibility that they might be mistaken about anything.Some Schmo wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2026 3:02 pmI never worry about insulting MAGAtes by mentioning how damned stupid they are.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

That is such a good comparison. It’s absolutely spot on.Gunnar wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2026 8:43 pmThey seem to be on approximately the same cognizance competency level as flat earthers.

And some of them (most notably Candace Owens, for example) actually unabashedly come right out and admit that they are indeed also flat earthers and/or moon landing deniers, or, at least, express serious doubt about the reality of the moon landings, the globularity of the earth and the heliocentrism of the solar system we live in.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2026 9:31 amThat is such a good comparison.

This is why Trump voters are stupid. The GOP "thought leaders" are damned morons. They all say stupid things that their lemmings repeat. It's their schtick.Gunnar wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2026 2:07 pmCandace Owens' Controversial Views on Dinosaurs and the Moon Landing"Candace Owens" wrote:"And I said to him: 'Listen.

Trying to sound like an intellectual while you decry science is like trying to model sobriety with a quart of whiskey on board. Morons decry science because they don't understand it. They'd rather you trust their idiotic intuition than hard evidence.
Because, ya know... morons.
