Israel will decide what is "symbolic" of course.

As if the claim of a nuclear threat was just a pretext or something for regime change and other nefarious agendas.

Just who gave Israel the right to overthrow any foreign government, destroy a country's resources and infrastructure or "symbolically" occupy any of its neighbours' lands?

Well, it all started a little over 75 years ago...

“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiation that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go in the next two weeks,” Trump said in a statement read aloud by Leavitt

And when he'll publish his tax returns!

And when he'll unveil his beautiful health care plan that will give us all so much more for so much less.

But "two weeks", like tomorrow, never comes...

This is all a distraction from the last distraction from the distraction before that.

How is the Big Beautiful Bill going?

Is the Gestapo arresting citizens and liberals and sending them to supermax prisons around the world or just taking them into the desert and just shooting them now?

Those playing the music are intent and calculating. In two weeks, they will have decided if there are profits to be made and who from, for how long, and on how many levels. It’s the motherfuckers behind the scenes requiring ferreting out, and they are dug in deep.

The convicted felon has zero credibility in everything, so 'negotiations' and 'diplomacy' means BS as always.

Did his boss in Moscow call to order him to stop it because he needs Iran's drones to murder civilians in Ukraine?
