US President Donald Trump said there will be no deal with Iran until “unconditional surrender.” The president also told CNN he’s not concerned whether Iran becomes a democratic state, and he is seeking leadership that will treat the US, Israel and Middle East allies well.

doesn't gaf if there are domestic retaliatory strikes either

Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility.

dumbest piece of shit on earth said:
‘I guess,’ he says. ‘But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.’

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s Parliament speaker, defiantly denied that Iranian leadership would cooperate with Trump's demands.

'The fate of dear Iran, which is more precious than life, will be determined solely by the proud Iranian nation, not by [Jeffrey] Epstein’s gang,' he wrote on X.

Trump floats ENDING war in Iran after mysterious call with Putin
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15629925/Trump-floats-ENDING-war-Iran-mysterious-call-Putin.html
Donald Trump has suggested his war with Iran could soon come to an end just hours after completing a mysterious phone call with Vladimir Putin.

Trump told reporters US forces are 'very far ahead of schedule', claiming Iran's military has effectively been destroyed.

'I think the war is very complete, pretty much,' Trump told CBS News. 'They have no navy, no communications, they've got no Air Force ... Wrapping up is all in my mind.'

Trump's remarks came after Putin shared a proposal to quickly end the war during the call, according to the Kremlin.

It reached holy war status. After all, their religious leader was killed during Ramadan.

Just imagine if they killed Mariah Carey on December 15th.

So it's a fair bet that it's all over now. Sell what you can. It's not going to get better. Well, not for the next few decades, at least.

Take solace in the fact that, at the moment, no country is easier to emigrate from than the USA. You are pretty much still accepted anywhere in the Western world. Take advantage of that. But something tells me that is not going to last, so act sooner rather than later.

It's not that bad, I've done it a few times. It's daunting at first. And obviously, it's better if you do it alone. If you are under 30 and a graduate, it's actually pretty easy. Look up ancestry.com, you'll notice that most of you have a relative who did it.

Money? Well, if you don't have any here, what is stopping you from having no money elsewhere?

Jobs? You are going to have to be your own boss. So you'll need a business plan. You might also have to clean a few toilets at first, but that is how it works for most. Degree or not. Done scrubbing toilets? Shoot your shoot, open up a cheeseballs cart or whatever, just keep trying. Success can happen so fast.

Hey, 250 years was a solid run. You went to the moon! You invented the cheeseburger! You gave the world Lucille Ball!

Bring that spirit with you and they will take you anywhere.

You can get residency in Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia for really cheap. Remote workers are welcome there and the tax rate is ridiculously low. I bribed tan official with 2k euros, and my permanent residency was granted in six weeks. Overall it cost me about $11k. In the end, it was not for me, but I'm glad I did it

Italy and Greece. A few bureaucratic hurdles are necessary to gain residency, but it can be done. Plenty of cheap housing on the Adriatic coast and Puglia. If you can prove Greek or Italian ancestry - going back four generations - it can be done quickly. But be warned that NOTHING works. You have to be ressourceful.

Czechia, Slovakia, and Slovenia: Remote workers are welcome; my friend got her residency after just 3 months for really cheap, but she said it cannot be done without a lawyer.

Portugal. Bring in $100K, and they'll take you. Just don't live near Porto, Lisbon or the Algarve. You keep the $100K, btw. They just want you to keep it in a Portuguese bank - Just like Switzerland and Monaco, but 50 times cheaper - it's roughly $15k to $20k per to access permanent residency status.

Mexico. I'm going through the residency hurdles now. I'm doing it without a lawyer. Where you choose to live in the country affects your chances. MXCD, Jalisco, Nayarit, and Quintana Roo are in high demand and are now as expensive as anywhere in the US. However, the Gulf Coast and Oaxaca are still very reasonable. It's a good choice for people nearing retirement. You need to prove economic solvency, but if you sell your house and combine it with your retirement assets to exceed the $300k USD threshold, it can be done.
