Israel launches attack on Iran | US bombs Iran nuke sites

It's closer than Missouri by approx 2000 miles. I think many thought the planes were being moved there as a staging area, which is probably the intent.

I'm sure there are better areas to stage them but you could argue for Guam as it's easier to protect, doesn't require input from allies, etc.

That does make sense. I didn’t know it was closer. I stand corrected.
 
The conspiracy talk suggests Trump is some master planner with an incredible level of discretion and forethought. He has none of these traits. He can't even conceal his own grift. And the idea that global oil traders are somehow in on this grand plot is equally laughable. The global oil trade's value is in the trillions.

Based on publicly available satellite images, the sites were not totally or even mostly destroyed. That does not mean that the stuff stored inside wasn’t destroyed but FFS would it kill him to have an ounce of restraint?

Hahaha, yeah, rhetorical question.

Also, calling Anderson Cooper “Allison” seems to me to be a bigoted comment but I am sure few will care and a large segment will find it hilarious.

Not funny (and gives female Trump too much credit for skin care regime) but whatever.

Trump does not like the look of those satellite images, not nearly dramatic enough.

Anyone else think he's doing this to get the media to not cover how his Big Beautiful Bill is a failure?

I would say yes, but i don't think he's smart enough to think of that. I think it's more likely he got FOMO from watching Fox News and seeing Israel attacking.

I genuinely don’t buy it. Trump is great at distracting the media and driving the news cycle without making a politically risky decision like this (with his first resistance from parts of his MAGA base). I’m not saying that he wouldn’t do all kinds of shenanigans to change the news cycle/move on from unflattering or bad news for him, but this doesn’t strike me as the easy candidate he would be likely to employ.

I dont buy it either, plus Trump knows “his” Congress will ultimately pass the bill.

I don't know. What happened Saturday makes passage of the bill significantly less likely.

ETA -- A number of influential MAGAs are calling Saturday the end of Trump 2.0's domestic agenda. That may be a little much, but I do think his ability to shape domestic policy has been massively neutered.

I hope so, but fear otherwise.

They just refueled in Guam. The Pacific journey is much farther than across southern Asia.

However, no one was fooled. Trump simply wants everyone to believe it, and not worry about the fissile material "leaving the building."
 
If Iran starts the ceasefire, and then Israel waits 12 hours before it starts its ceasefire, does that mean that Israel has 12 hours to bomb Iran?
