hah I think we can stop with the headlines that suggest this moron is thinking of anything other than his daughter and golf.

He will be long dead before that would even have a chance of happening sadly.

Headline is misleading. Should be "to steal Iran's uranium"

WSJ is a Murdoch rag like Fox News and the NY Post. Misleading headlines is their M.O.

Also, "weighs" like he is actually giving shit serious consideration. "hmm, this might be a bad idea, gas prices will skyrocket and our chances of achieving any goals are incredibly low" Mr. Poops His Pants and Doesn't Read Briefings is weighing the options.

If I had to guess that Uranium is in Russia for safekeeping.

I don’t think this specific point garners much sympathy. I am against the war. I am also against Iran having close to weapons grade uranium. This ain’t the same as Trump blatantly stealing Venezuelas oil.

Who's allowed to have weapons grade uranium?

Anyone is “allowed”. But can they get away with it is a different question.

Seems everyone needs nukes. Keeps the Americans out.

Even more obnoxiously, by all accounts Iran was honoring the agreement to not develop nuclear weapons. Look where that got them. The US has now taught every country that they can and will randomly attack you with the justification that you've nearly manufactured viable nuclear weapons regardless of reality. Any country that doesn't have nuclear weapons would be stupid not to develop them at this point. They'll attack you either way, and if you finish before the US attacks, they never will.

Iran regularly arms terrorist organizations. Should terrorists get nukes? Again, I’m not supporting the US here, but I’m not supporting Iran getting nukes and opening up that risk.

The US regularly arms "moderate rebels" and "freedom fighters".. should someone intervene because we might give them nukes? I mean, we practically gave Israel highly enriched uranium.. we're the ones proliferating nukes.  Maybe they need it for navel propulsion systems.. we seen to be carving out exceptions for nuclear powered subs for some countries.

Please, share a modern equivalent group that the US arms to Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthis and their recent attacks on civilians population.

blazesquall Mar 30, 2026 +6
Of course, thank you. We're a bit more sophisticated and highbrow with it.. You are drawing a line between a 'terrorist group' and a 'state military' but since I know we both share a genuine concern for the slaughter of civilian populations using foreign weapons, you'll see the pattern. If you want to talk about the Houthis.. we can look at the exact same war in Yemen (remember when Dems killed a war powers act here.. lol). For years, the US armed, trained, and provided logistical support to the Saudi-led coalition. The United Nations and Amnesty International have exhaustively documented how the coalition used US made guided bombs to repeatedly strike Yemeni civilian infrastructure (markets, hospitals, weddings, and a even a school bus full of children). US weapons were used to indiscriminately massacre civilians and create a massive famine. If you insist on a non-state group.. then let's look at Syria. We poured weapons into 'moderate' rebel groups during the civil war. Many of those groups committed documented atrocities against civilians, and massive stockpiles of US weapons were ultimately seized by or willingly handed over to extreme jihadist factions. We can get into our proxy's proxy's like in Sudan with the UAE->RSF (or Israel for that matter) if you want.

Israel

Luckydog12 Mar 30, 2026 +1
Yeah that was the obvious choice. I suppose I meant nongovernmental globally recognized terrorist organization but Israel is hard to argue.

We don’t have enough time to list all of the examples.

> Iran regularly arms terrorist organizations. And the U.S. doesn't?

It kinda seems like Iran needs those nukes for deterrence though.

Examinator2 Mar 30, 2026 +1
Iraq had weapon grade uranium as well, until we invaded and there wasn't jack shit. At any rate, even if they have some the military has no idea how to handle it without killing everyone involved.

Luckydog12 Mar 30, 2026 +1
Neither of those statements are true.

SidewaysFancyPrance Mar 30, 2026 +7
So that's the prize they decided on? Seizing some amount of uranium?

InsideAside885 Mar 30, 2026 +9
Send in a few Marines. Get a few ounces of uranium, get out and declare victory. Then tell Europe, China, and mid-east to figure out the Strait. That's the off ramp they will take.

I highly doubt Trump could point to Iran, Greenland, Venezuela or even Cuba on a map let alone have some grand geopolitical strategy on what natural resources they have to loot. This idiot puppet is 100% getting orders from behind the scenes (an actual Deep State because every accusation is a confession with Republicans) with the promise of some kickback to line his own pockets at the expense of the American people.

Have fun mixing uranium an insurgency and improved explosive devices This is the kind of decision that will feature in future top ten lists of historically bad decisions

I think we are gonna need a few shovels maybe a pick axe too.

guttanzer Mar 30, 2026 +5
So, they’re going to occupy a country as big as the east coast of the USA, with a population of 90 million that all hate our guts, to look for something about the size of a truck that may or may not exist, and if it does it might be buried hundreds of feet deep? And this country is on the other side of a planet? What could go wrong? /s

I'm surprised they don't want to secure their precious mineral mines as well. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/06/iran-says-its-discovered-worlds-second-largest-lithium-deposit.html

We will fund the war with ~~oil~~ uranium sales, and we’ll be greeted as liberators.

This is bad. So f****** bad.

So, everything is about grab and steal from other nations. To summarize. Venezuela, Greenland, Cuba, Iran, Canada...

Trump: Can’t wait for the “suckers and losers” to die for me when we steal uranium for my family and the Epstein class.

So Trump bombed Iran to prevent from using radioactive material to bombs so he could go in and steal radioactive material to make nuclear bombs. Do I have that right?

Isn’t that a war crime?

He is just trying to pivot to find whatever reason that will stick to explain why we are looking at least 200-300k deployment to Iran.

I'm betting this is a false flag to put Pahlavi back there and hand over the wealth, using our troops as security.
