Israel and Iran

Like Joe Kent, I didn't follow these people or their careers. But since she's publishing her husbands "final" book. There's definitely some profiting off of her tragedy. But there is a big difference between the two situations. I may have a view of Erika Kirk when I'm forced to look her up again if she remarries and then gets tangled up in some anti-administration engagement farming like Kent currently is.

Joe Kent married again four years after his wife died. He's good.

So Iran launched two missiles at Diego-Garcia, one a failure in flight and the other was shot down by a US Navy surface vessel. And UK laughs it off saying Iran is still not a threat to be concerned with. The missile's range? All of good 'ol Blighty and well over half of Scotland.

From Wiki:

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term used to describe criticism of Donald Trump that is seen as irrational or disconnected from his actual policies. In practice, it is often used to dismiss criticism rather than respond to it.

Since World War II, the United States, with all our faults, has largely been the country the world could depend on to lead and ultimately do the right thing.

In less than two years, Trump has insulted our allies and questioned the value of NATO, often saying it has done nothing for the United States. He ignores the fact that after 9/11, aside from offering its joint military capabilities, NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time in its history. An attack on one member was treated as an attack on all.

We can “yeah but” or “what about” all we want, but the reality is that many around the world no longer see the United States as the clear leader of the free world. Instead they see a bully. A country using its strength to get what it wants, consequences be damned.

I voted for Trump the second time around primarily because he promised no more wars and an unfiltered release of the Epstein files. He has not delivered on either.

The upcoming mid season elections are very concerning to me, I think the Republican Party is going to be absolutely decimated at the polls, and when they do, I will point my finger directly at the current President of the United States for that.

Not necessarily for his actions, but more so the embarrassing way in which he executes those actions.
 
I hope everyone critical of attacking Iran realizes that their actions have been the plans all along. Except those ballistic missiles launched at Dieogo Garcia would have had nukes on them. The Iranian terrorist regime is a Shia death cult. There's no negotiating out of their beliefs.

Twelver Shia theology, which serves as the state religion and ideological foundation of Iran's leadership, places a significant emphasis on an apocalyptic, messianic return of the Twelfth Imam, or Muhammad al-Mahdi. This messianic figure is believed to be in "divine occultation" (hidden) since the 9th century and will return to establish peace and justice, overthrowing injustice and non-believers at the "end of time".

Key Aspects of the "Iranian Apocalypse" Ideology:
The Hidden Imam (Mahdi): Twelvers believe the 12th Imam is alive and will reappear in the clouds, bringing a final end-of-times battle.
Active Preparation: The Iranian leadership, particularly the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), views itself as a chosen instrument to actively create the conditions necessary for the Mahdi’s return, which are often characterized by apocalyptic chaos and war.
Targeting Enemies: The ideology views modern, often Western or regional, antagonists—particularly Israel—as evil obstacles to be destroyed to hasten the Mahdi’s return.
Political and Strategic Impact: While not the only driver of Iranian policy, this apocalypticism shapes foreign policy and nuclear ambition, which hardliners see as key tools in this ultimate confrontation.
"Doomsday Clock": In 2017, Iran unveiled a digital clock in Tehran counting down to 2040, promising the destruction of Israel, which many interpret as a symbol of this messianic, apocalyptic vision.

Historical and Sociological Context:
While this radical form of apocalyptic thought is heavily pushed by hardline members of the regime, including during the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and in contemporary military circles, it is part of a 1,400-year-old tradition that has evolved, particularly after the 1979 revolution, from a quietist belief into a revolutionary political ideology.

This should have been done a long time ago and shows how far some of our allies has been infiltrated by the IRGC and their recent allies the Muslim Brotherhood. This includes Canada.

And this is where I get so fucking frustrated.

I don’t give a fuck about Iran, but the President of these United States should not be tweeting insults, threats and policy - it makes us look weak, scattered and unstable.

Similar to his first term, if he’d just do what he does, but stay the fuck off of social media, I’d have hardly a qualm with the man.

Fuck me running, I think I just summed up years of angst over this guy in one rant.

Worrying about who's in charge is not good for our health. You cannot change what's happening there with your posts in here.

Have you heard of the serenity prayer?

On social media, I started long ago blocking those I am either politically against or not in favor of. Not to create an echo chamber. It was to remove any and all things that could possibly upset me. I now have a very pleasurable experience on Facebook. Maybe you should try this or refrain from a possible compuslive need to self trigger at what upsets you.

Honestly, you're making his case by dismissing his opinion. I don't have TDS, and I believe its a thing. I still support a lot of what Trump does. But, if somebody complains about broken campaign promises, its not TDS. Its also why I disagree with some of you about Joe Kent.

I'm not making anyone's case, we have no control and ranting it doesn't change what the current POTUS does. That's my argument, the willingness to be self subjected to the things that makes a person mad.

And it's okay to disagree with people. It's the taking it to the next level with the insults, personal attacks/dehumanizing, and character defamation of those we disagree with is where there's a real problem with.

Maybe I should explain this in another way. I like ketchup only on my hot dogs. There are people who don't like that or like what I am doing. So they rage about it to people who either don't care what they think or to people that will never stop doing it regardless because there's zero harm/lol who the F is this douche telling me what to think or eat, and when this doesn't work they make it worse than it should ever have been. Now put this to politics. The world isn't weighing in on what we say here on Shadowspear or any other media platform. Misbelieving that it will, is a serious issue.

I think one of the issues here is that the media and the deep state are firmly against the duly elected executive. They have consistently fought against him and reframed everything he says. You know what can't be reframed? What can't be taken out of context? Tweets that he wrote. Sure some may try to throw on some mumbo jumbo, but Trump is a plain speaking person. He means what he says and does what he says.

But I also don't pay attention day to day to his stuff, this website is my filter for all of that. SO I thank you all that do pay attention to it.
