    Add countries aided or attacked by Iranian backed terrorists and we're really rolling.

    The irony of him calling another President “crooked”. This guy is probably the most corrupt President ever. Yet, he is doing it in full visibility and nobody has got the balls to take him to task on it because he has surrounded himself with cowardly, sycophantic bastards.

    You could say the exact same thing about the USA mate, the CIA alone have backed or funded more uprisings/revolts (including one or two in Iran itself) than anyone else on this planet. Us Brits are no angels either.

    Pakistan has announced it plans to nominate US President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, citing the role that Islamabad says he played in helping to negotiate a ceasefire last month between India and Pakistan.

    On X, the Pakistani government said Trump deserved the award "in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis".

    India has denied the US served as a mediator to end the fighting last month, and says it does not want any diplomatic intervention from a third party.

    Trump has often suggested he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize, whose winner this year will be named in October.

    In May, Trump made a surprise announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following four days of fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

    Pakistan's government said in its post early on Saturday: "President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation.

    "This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker."

    There was no immediate response from Washington or New Delhi.

    Trump has repeatedly said that India and Pakistan ended the conflict after a ceasefire brokered by the US, and also that he had used trade as a lever to make them agree.

    Pakistan has corroborated US statements about brokering the ceasefire, but India has denied it.

    Last month, Trump said he told India and Pakistan that a ceasefire was necessary in order for them to maintain trade with the US.

    "I said, 'Come on, we're going to do a lot of trade with you guys [India and Pakistan]. Let's stop it," he told reporters.

    The Nobel move was applauded by Mushahid Hussain, a former chair of the Senate Defence Committee in Pakistan's parliament.

    "Trump is good for Pakistan," he told Reuters. "If this panders to Trump's ego, so be it. All the European leaders have been sucking up to him big time."

    But Maleeha Lodhi, Pakistan's former ambassador to the US, criticised the move as "unfortunate".

    "A man who has backed Israel's genocidal war in Gaza and called Israel's attack on Iran as 'excellent'," she wrote on X.

    "It compromises our national dignity," she added.

    Yes, it seems to bother him that. He's the green eyed monster when it comes to Obama.

    I wonder what Pakistan have been promised with or threatened with.

    Didn't they basically say it was nothing to do with him after he boasted about it

    TBF Obama winning one was absolute nonsense so they kind of made a rod for their own back there.

    He wins the same way he always has done. Claiming he did a great job, having his zombies ignore all evidence contrary to the matter and blaming other people when things do go wrong.

    I think you'll find a certain powerlessness.is this.

    Iran has no real reach or power to harm the USA in a big way.

    They cant sink a navy.vessel nor shoot down planes but they can attack.soft civilian targets.

    You would imagine that mossad is well capable of killing off targets but are the Iranians capable of hitting trump in his soft underbelly? (Family, mar del lago etc)

    I think not.

    For all the talk there's no way for Iran to get through Iraq and Syria to the borders of isreal. It has targeted them through proxy

    Always seems to be some new warring going on on my nieces birthday. Add that the Ukraine war started on my Mum's birthday. Cursed women.

    The US military can absolutely win this. It will be a costly victory, but it will be a victory.
