Actually I can’t verify that only heard it but he uses the term. It may have got mixed up with Tucker over Iran.
I won’t defend a psychopath from not having a nuclear weapon but with one psychopath to another in that case why does Israel have them?
While Israel has never officially confirmed possessing nuclear weapons, maintaining a policy of “nuclear ambiguity,” it is widely acknowledged by intelligence agencies and experts to be a nuclear power. Its acquisition of these weapons is often characterized as “illegal” or “covert” because it relied on secret foreign assistance, espionage, and evading international oversight.

Israel is one of only a few countries that has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which technically means it is not in violation of that specific international treaty. However, its methods of acquiring materials and technology frequently bypassed the laws of other nations.
Key Methods of Acquisition
Secret Deal with France (1950s): In 1957, France secretly agreed to provide Israel with a research reactor and technical expertise for the Dimona facility in the Negev Desert. The facility included a covert underground plant for extracting weapons-grade plutonium.
Espionage and Stolen Designs: Israel reportedly used a network of scientists and agents to access classified nuclear data from Western nations. This included stealing centrifuge blueprints that were later used for uranium enrichment.
Operation Plumbat (1968): To secure uranium, the Mossad orchestrated the disappearance of a freighter carrying 200 tons of yellowcake (uranium ore). The cargo was transferred at sea to an Israeli vessel using a web of front companies to evade European Euratom controls.
The NUMEC Incident (1960s): Between 200 and 600 pounds of highly enriched uranium allegedly vanished from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) facility in Pennsylvania. Declassified documents suggest this material was diverted to Israel with the help of sympathetic owners.
Illicit Procurement of Triggers: In the 1980s, an Israeli spy network illegally smuggled krytrons—high-speed electronic switches used as nuclear triggers—out of the United States without the required export licenses.
Cooperation with South Africa: Evidence suggests Israel collaborated with apartheid-era South Africa on nuclear development, including a suspected joint nuclear test in 1979 known as the Vela Incident.
Current Status
Estimated Stockpile: Experts estimate Israel possesses between 80 and 90 nuclear warheads, with some estimates ranging as high as 400.
Strategic Purpose: The arsenal serves as a “last resort” deterrent, often referred to as the “Samson Option”—the threat of massive retaliation if the state’s existence is imperiled.
Preventing psychopathic maniacs from getting nuclear weapons was the first ‘line in the sand.’ The last seven presidents have been saying Iran is a big problem in the world.
I guess I missed Trump saying Iranian/Persian people are low IQ, as you claim.
Well now I understand what your point is And what you believe Trump is doing. He never really made it clear and the nuke thing going on for years was getting old and if he claimed it was destroyed why are they still attacking them? They don’t want anything to do with us or trust us, why should they. Now these attacks pretty much sealed that.
Of course most agree about civilians as many persecuted by a dictatorial regime and how did it evolve.
Trump was wrong calling them low IQ. They have a long and ancient including biblical history.
Here’s some of the things they made along the way. Except maybe the taxation.
Ancient Iran (Persia) significantly shaped the modern world with innovations like the Qanat water management system, windmills, and Yakhchāls (ancient refrigerators). They pioneered human rights via the Cyrus Cylinder, established the first postal system (Royal Road), and invented early taxation, banking (checks), and games like polo and backgammon.

Key contributions from ancient Persia include:
Technology & Engineering: Wind catchers (early air conditioning), Yakhchāls (ice houses), and Qanats for water management.
Systems & Governance: The first courier post (Royal Road), the Cyrus Cylinder (often cited as the first charter of human rights), and early taxation systems.
Science & Mathematics: Development of algebra (Al-Khwarizmi), advancements in astronomy and medicine, and early metallurgy.
Culture & Daily Life: The Persian New Year (Nowruz), Zoroastrianism, polo, backgammon, the domestication of goats, and wine production.
These inventions and advancements, originating from the Achaemenid and subsequent Sasanian empires, have had a lasting impact on global infrastructure, technology, and culture.
I don’t see Trump helping Israel.
He was, and is, in charge of the operation against the maniacs who run Iran.
Not Israel.
He has been pissed off at some of the things they have done during this time.
Maybe they are next.
I am no friend of those in charge of Israel. But like pretty much everywhere else, including Iran, I believe many of the people of Israel are not the problem.
Well while he’s trying broker peace and captive Iran with a seize fire a pit bull is attacking Lebanon and killed last heard 254 people out to take their land. Oh if they only had their own land so they don’t get run out this time. People might agree to them but now they do the same to others. Entitlement issues? They’re own land and what everyone else’s? Is it coming out on msm? They’re just going to forgive all that killing and destruction? They are going to kill any chance of a election of a Republican like the VP next election and maybe the mid terms blocking any of Trump’s economic progress and move to impeach again and already calling this war partnering with Israel crimes against humanity so besides impeachment coming up again you know what their going to do next.
Trump has no interest in WWIII, or any war for that matter.
He is trying to neutralize the handlers of a dangerous pitbull who have been [used for] terorizing an entire neighborhood, and beyond, for decades.
He has created an alliance of Middle East countries, first with the Abraham Accords and now the Board of Peace. I don’t see how that pushes it into the hands of Russia or China or anyone else.
So far democrats 28 to 30, Republicans zero, nada.
As of early April 2026, Democrats have flipped at least 28 to 30 Republican-held state legislative seats since the 2024 election, while Republicans have flipped zero seats over the same period. This trend is primarily driven by state-level special elections, showing significant Democratic momentum in state legislatures.
Politico +3
Key Takeaways
Democratic Gains: Democrats have achieved 28–30 seat flips in state legislatures.
Republican Gains: No state legislative seats have been flipped from Democratic to Republican control.
Recent Examples: Key flips occurred in Florida, Iowa, and Arkansas, including in areas with court-modified maps.
Context: This is a notable shift, with Democrats winning in special elections and overturning Republican seats, indicating strong voter turnout for Democrats in state races early in the 2026 cycle.
Then I don’t understand your point. Also stand by mine.
Ps maybe it’s a good thing because they’ll push the mid east into the hands of China and Russia and they can deal with it and hopefully Trump won’t go that far into WW111 to enable Israel land grabs not that I have any love for radical terrorists but maybe they wouldn’t be there along with needing to defend themselves is we didnt side with land grabbers in the first place.
It sounded like he meant like it sounds, the ability to survive as we see civilization today. Now power at all. Now perhaps it’s a scare tactic and warming in one. Now if he said end of a regime but he didn’t. Meanwhile Israel is busy attacking Lebanon to get a chunk of their land just helping themselves again and attacking them, their homes and hospitals just like they did Gaza. I’m guessing by now the other country’s around there are a bit of concerned let alone Iran knowing theyre existence is for war against their neighbors and will attack regardless if they’re not a imminent threat to take their land and openly admit it.
I think it’s fair to say that this sucks. They’re going to take the metals red. That is just unbelievable, although with what we’ve seen over the years it shouldn’t be.
It seems to me that once they broke the silver market, things went right back to the same old manipulation game at higher levels.
Yes, we’ve been conditioned to expect these kind of manipulations by the scum. I’m afraid that the lockdowns perpetuated by the algorithms will be extremely difficult to break free from.
All of my buys from late February-early March are still underwater.
I don’t understand why this has been interpreted by some to mean the people of Iran, except as propaganda and to as always reach for some way, any way, to criticize President Trump.
He did not threaten anything like genocide. Clearly.

GDX/Gold Still not able to take out the top line on range chart but
I bought a few shares the last couple days but sold them on the rip in the pre market this morning. It just seems that the majority of the time the US Market stops the momentum of the big overnight moves. I sold AG this morning at $23 and since the day started, it’s come all the way back to $21 and is now in the red. How many days over the years have we seen that happen? Way too many.
HL is also on its way to red.
Hard to believe with silver still up $2, but silver too, it was up $4 at the open.

House Democrats are trying to raise taxes again – this time by taxing unrealized gains and imposing an annual tax on Minnesotans’ net worth, not just their income.
