The question you should he asking is why our world class air defense systems that cost tens of hundreds of millions of dollars only seem to work every now and then? We should have no problem whacking most of the piss ant shite those frickers fling at us, but when we fail to do that the only response is, "Ehhh....we're not sure why...."




This is what I don't understand. We have the biggest military in the world. Who are Iran's allies? China and Russia? Is it worth it for them to go to war with Iran if the US keeps them in check? Maybe Russia but we are too valuable to China.

They sense the weakness in the White House. Iranians danced in the street upon learning that Biden would be the Usurper in Chief. When the enemies of this country celebrate, it does not bode well for national security.

Its odd how willing some of you are to believe the government when it comes to starting wars.

Don't believe anything they say about the economy, climate change, covid, etc... But as soon as they mention war you believe its 100% truth.

Funny how that works.

You know why they can attack us that many times? Because we have bases in Syria, Jordan, and all over the Middle East for no reason

The only thing we need to be doing in that part of the world is controlling the shipping lanes

Is this like WMDs in Iraq? Or our ships being hit in the Gulf of Tonkin?


Why does anyone believe anything our gov’t say? We should probably do the opposite of whatever they say.

That is why the US is retaliating. The Houthis backed by Iran were attacking ships. The US is now intervening.

We retaliated against militias in Syria and Iraq, not in Yemen. That the Houthis are also backed by Iran is only incidental. Our strikes would only send an indirect message with respect to the Houthis.

My ancestors and relatives fought in every war from King Phillips war to desert storm bitch, you don’t have this country without them. We have [img]been[/img] hotheaded Warhawk mfers and fighters that don’t take shite for 300 years. We lead the “Indians” during the tea party, and fought with some Indians and besides others on the frontier and wilderness and the government in the whiskey rebellion and civil war.

Some times you have to fight spoiled child.

If we don’t do something about Iran they will have nukes within 2 years. When they acquire nukes, Israel will have no choice but to attack them, and it’s easy to see how that can spiral out of control quickly.

We are going to be at war with them soon no matter what happens. It’s better if we choose the time and place.

Wake me up when Iranian troops are trying to land on Virginia Beach. There isn’t a damn thing worth going to the Middle East to die for.

Circus and monkeys that don’t belong to us.

Iran is going to build nukes regardless of what we do or don’t do. This is the same fear mongering that went on when Pakistan was developing their program 20 years ago. Everyone was pearl clutching and screaming that they’d start nuking everyone in the region. It’s absurd that you think Americans need to go over there to die over this nonsense.

You sound like a foolish old man.

It's easy to beat the war drum when it's someone else's children that will pay the bill.

How about you Warhawk on over to Iran and take care of things yourself if you feel so moved to action.

Like most blowhards, I bet you are a coward in real life.

We are retaliating now because they killed 3 Americans at base in Jordan

Every other first world country in the world besides Israel spends way less money on defense than they should because the US spends our money to protect them

We pay for 13% of Israel’s defense spending.
