Iran is exploding

Post by Wapiti » 28 Feb 2026, 7:37 pm

My wife and I just came in from a cattle branding morning and then a shooting run around lightening the pasture use load in a few of our paddocks to ensure winter feed isn't stolen by the uninvited... to find that Trump has fooled everyone again and Iran is being taught a lesson.
How far this will go, or the consequences of it, is unknown, but while the BBQ is heating up for some med-rare, aged venison tenderloins I'll just say this...
I wonder if Khomeini has been ground up into a mince/concrete mix yet?

Trump is unreal, he's my kind of bloke.
Just last night I saw on Sky how when a reporter asked him when he was going to give up on Iran disrespecting him he just brushed them off. Gave the goat fiddlers the remaining of the 10 days.
Then this afternoon Aus time, bang bang.
I just really appreciate a man who says it like it is, does what he says, screws up his language sometimes just like a real man does instead of a slimy, brylcreamed polished life-long political scumbag does who plays the game and never does anything but feather his own nest.
When I compare him to the lying, conniving, feminine commy Albanese it makes me feel sick who we have representing us on the world stage.
Go Trump!

Yeah, but Trump is right... imagine if these clowns, that have been funding and training terrorism everywhere for too long, get nuclear weapons and the delivery systems to target all of Europe? Possibly the continental US?
Iran has been aligned with China and Russia and they've been offering engineering and material support. That's bad.

Mr.Trump was faced with a serious dilemma.
Lose the mid terms because of ongoing Epstein revelation damage or lose the mid terms because of doing Bibi's bidding.
Naturally being Bibi's bitch he chose the latter.
What this may eventually lead to is anybody's guess but the sudden uptick in gold and silver are telling us where things are going.
Now as for the prejudicial criticism of Albo.
We in Australia are blessed with the best politicians money can buy!

Whatever hatred people have for certain others, the US is ridding the world of a regime that has tortured, killed, promoted evil acts, has killed 10's of 1000's of it's own citizens protesting it's evil rapes and killings. Let alone the state of evil that truly sponsors terrorism.
But people will use personal issues as a reason to deride this, but that's who we live amongst nowadays.
Yeah Trump is an erratic character, but he isn't a lifelong manufactured slimy political mouthpiece.
I think that's what scares people.

If it was another "true politician" up behind the seal of the president, would it be any different for the people that deride the person - instead of the action itself?

I remember a bloke that used to come on here (miss him actually) who would blame Trump as evil in a thread about an eagle being killed by a wind-turbine blade.

Can't stand him personally, but no worse than Biden/Clinton, etc.

Look at Greenland: he threatens to invade, so Denmark now demands extra NATO troops be stationed there!.
More troops in Greenland, at Denmark's insistence, not a shot fired.
Well played.

And what you just described is one of so many... but so many people quick to judge on outward personality and blind to negotiation and managed people skills just don't get it.
So they immediately dislike the man, so any achievement can't even be understood, let alone appreciated.
This is what I mean by "politicians" being the least qualified people to manage anything but a total failure.
Trump isn't a politician, so those without any understanding of what it takes to achieve will never get it.
It's exactly the same reason we are governed by completely inadequate human beings, yet the voters cannot fathom the failure and pain they themselves caused by expecting "politicians" to solve their problems for them.
Truth is they aren't capable of it.
Does anyone EVER check the qualifications of their voting choices other than some small niche opinion?

We'll see. One 85 year old isn't going to make much of a difference. Name one regime change orchestrated by the west in the last 50 years that wasn't replaced by a worse one. Im struggling.

Trump always attacks on the weekends because he is worried about the stock market reaction and wants to minimise damage.

Bought these in 2016. Was so cheap back then. 50k I think. Now would be worth about 200k.

If I kept 50k cash in the bank would be worth like 25k due to inflation.

See the Chinese and Russians are freaking out because all the new air-defence systems they recently sold Iran to "destroy the USA" failed to stop a single Tomahawk or F22 and F35 fighter... even detect them. Suck eggs.

This is why the US is so superior, not just in their engineering and scientists... it's because silly little wars like this prove and hone their tactics and equipment... and prove the communist gear are paper tigers. And not worth buying.

China had said that if the US/Israeli coalition struck, Iran would "obliterate them within hours" using China's super deterrence and weapons.
They then said, with the US humiliated, they'd immediately retake Taiwan.
:lol: :lol:
Iran spent Billions being conned. And the customers/potential customers of Chinese tofu-dreg equipment are now realising it too.

After 47 years it just reached a time of how long are we going to continue to tolerate a belligerent Iran?

What happens next, well who knows. It's gonna be an exciting year.

I just pray the people of Iran will finally be rid of these scumbags & breathe easy, & be free once again. I hope they do break their chains, coz i'd like to visit someday. I met a few Iranians. Some of the loveliest people you'll ever meet. Despite the regime's best efforts to supress it, Christianity is the fastest growing religion there, so who knows, maybe they'll also be free from the "religion of peace"

So here we go, the pretend governments in NSW and VIC have these terrorists on their plate..
I saw just now that at least 5 "Mosques" are openly mourning the death of that monster Khamenei.

These terrorist supporters and evil infiltrators to our country are there unmasked now and SHOULD be dealt with and the pretend places of worship - really anti-Australian cesspits set up for spreading evil in our country and ruining our success with their primitive ideals.

Come on MInns, these people are cut from the cloth of the scum that shot innocents at Bondi, show you really are a man and a true leader. Try and show the country you are trying to make up for your massive failure in December.
I doubt you will, because it's something you are not, a man and a leader.
Vic? Well, we know that government is deliberately ignoring this.

Plenty of ignorance on display.
Although the mass of people in Iran may well be happy to be rid of the current religious autocracy, most have clear memories of the past and sure as sh!!!ng won't accept another US installed Shah.
The previous shah regime and it's secret police, which could have been compared to North Korea in the use of terror against it's citizens, were overthrown by a true bottom up revolt. The people had had enough and had nothing to lose. In the end the people did the hard work and then the Mullahs took over, something like the Bolsheviks in the Russian revolution.
Trump's fantasy of another true popular revolt is exactly that a fantasy BUT if the US buys off enough of the Iranian military and with the judicious use of propaganda it can be made to appear that it happened that way.
My fear is that Iran might sink one of the US's aircraft carriers or Iran does unacceptable damage to Israel and somebody then decides to use an atomic weapon on Iran.
That will open a Pandora's box of unforeseen consequences.

Trump is just a cuck for the Zionists which is nothing new, they 've got the evidence that could destroy him, the US is only going to fall further behind China with this massive stuff up. Hello OIL fuelled inflation.......

Arab states will also be questioning the wisdom of Trump and Bibi, Saudi Arabi is now seriously considering using the Chinese $$ Renminbi for Oil sales.

Anyone who thinks is a Regime change is on the cards has turds for a brain, the Persians will ride Trump and Bibi out

I forgot to add to my previous post that Mr. Trump is to make a state visit to China in about 3 weeks. We will see how well that goes or if it is cancelled.

Trumps inner circle bought heavy on US Gas stocks prior to the War starting, nothing like a little profit and corruption

There is not a lot of upside for the USA :crazy:

No cheap gas from Qatar or Russia and the USA provides an expensive solution. Marvellous.
