I believe Trump has invoked an ’emergency powers act’ which dates back about a hundred years and allows him to make these decisions bypassing Congress and the Senate and not needing their approval.
Anyone heard of William Mckinley,the 25th president,who was known as ‘the tariff king’ who also believed in expansionism annexing Puerto Rico,Guam,the Philippines & Hawaii.
This gent seems to be the inspiration for Trump,however things didn’t end well for him.He was assassinated!
good luck to allHe can’t do anything unconstitutional without a two third majority of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Then a three quarters majority of the States (currently 38) must ratify the change.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.TRUMPS TARIFFS ARE BLOCKED

Don't mess with mister in between.Well he,s whacked Iran without going to congress , it’s funny how he has the gaul to call others dictators …. It looks like the Iranians have moved the plutonium anyway …. an expensive and probably futile night … anyway he thanked God …..

Iran isn’t producing Plutonium; it’s producing fissile Uranium-235 by the ‘enrichment’ method from natually occuring Uranium, which is more than 99% non-fissile mildly radioactive Uranium-238 and less than 1% the required highly radioactive Uranium-235. This is what the centrifuges that are/were deep underground are used for.
The Uranium-238 left over after the process is the ‘depleted Uranium’ used militarily – because it is very dense (about 70% heavier than Lead) – for armour plating and armour-piercing missiles, quite possibly in the ‘bunker-busting’ bombs recently deployed
As for events last night: where it all goes, who knows. An ever more dangerous world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uraniumSorry my mistake , reports however state that the materials werent at the bombing locations , to be honest the Iranians would be stupid not to have moved it …

Indeed, it seems unlikely that the finished product would be stored at the same facility it was produced in, either now or in the past.
However, applying the truism that the ‘the first casualty of war is truth’ I’ll continue to take all reports from all sides with a hefty helping of salt
Iran is a huge, largely rural mountainous country ideally suited to hiding nefarious activities and I’m somewhat surprised that Western intelligence as to what’s going on and where it’s going on is as good as it is. What, if anything, has been missed…
I am no fan of Trump or Netanyahu, particularly with what they’ve done in Gaza.
However, Iran has been criticised by the Nuclear watchdog for hiding uranium. They cannot be trusted.
…And although some might say Iran has just as much right of Nuclear bombs as any other country…
Their stated wish is to obliterate Israel…And the most important thing… Their religion says that in a “just war” if a muslim kills an infidel and loses his own life, he goes to Paradise. Unlike Sunni Pakistan, Shia Iran’s political leadership is dominated by its religious “Supreme Leader”. This means that if Iran had Nuclear bombs, their leadership may feel that using Nuclear weapons against enemies (Israel and USA) would be a “just war”. It would not matter to them if they themselves “died”. Because they’d go directly to Paradise. ie Iran is much more likely to use Nuclear missiles than any other country.
Therefore, although the USA strike makes the World more dangerous in the short term… It might make the World safer in the long run than it would’ve been without those strikes.
Value Is EverythingIran has the material and the expertise to make a nuclear weapon , it’s merely delaying the inevitable

Well if it’s delaying the inevitable, at least it’s delaying which gives the West time to ‘find a solution’ or there could be a regime change before they can build up again.
Better than doing absolutely nothing, that would be nuts.
Trump has already said they won’t be a regime change , GSP you can’t uninvent the bomb , if you really think Iran won’t get a bomb at some point your kidding yourself

Can Iran be trusted? Perhaps not but we can’t exactly trust Trump or Netanyahu either (or many other world leaders for that matter).
Deeply inadequate, mentally unstable and generally vile men the lot of them.
Like you Richard I have little faith in any of them. Trump sways
with the wind, he makes rash decisions to appear ahead of the game.
He may be in the “No regime change” today HDLG but it was only on
Sunday he stated “It’s not politically correct to use the term,
‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE
IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???”What will Tuesday bring ?
Even if there is a regime change I doubt it will be for a peace western loving leadership , not getting rid of Saddam was the mistake made in the original Gulf war , question is if the current regime does go who comes in
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Of course Trump and Netanyahu “cannot be trusted”; but they know what will happen to them and their country if using nuclear weapons.
The point is how likely any LEADER of any country is of using nuclear weapons.
When a leader is a religious fanatic… and Islam says that in a “just war”, if killing an enemy of Islam results in you yourself being killed – you go to Paradise… The “Supreme Leader” / Iran is much more likely to use nuclear weapons and therefore cannot be allowed nuclear weapons.In other words:
Having nuclear weapons is a great deterrent against another nation with nuclear weapons using theirs against you.
However, when a leader believes if he is killed he will go directly to paradise, then there is little or no deterrent for him using those missiles.Value Is Everything
