Did we really have a choice here?

This should have been done forty years ago.

It would have been an interesting scenario back during the Iraq war if the US and it's allies had went ahead and moved on Iran, particularly after the US learned it was Iran who was the biggest thorn in our side.

So our option was to wait for the inevitable attack on our ME bases, or just tag along with Israel and be preemptive.

We spent three weeks sending all sorts of assets to the ME. Those weeks could have been spent pulling the assets already there out of harm’s way.

Let Israel fight its own war.

no we did not. Israel told us we had to, so we did it.

Yes, that would have been an option.

Then our bases and whatever else we left behind gets destroyed. Would that have been acceptable? Or only then should we have attacked?

People like you are why this country is f*cked. We don’t need any more military action for Israel’s benefit. Let them fight their own wars.

We aren't the only country here. We are part of a greater globe.

Iran having nuclear weapons is dangerous to everyone, including Russia and China.

Iran has been directing terrorist proxies across the globe for decades.

Imagine if those terrorists had nuclear weapons.

Imagine if Iran had 20,000 missiles and 1000 launchers. And they then decided to make nuclear weapons. Those missiles could overcome any defensive system and the results would've been awful. So bad at that point that they would be protected from stopping nuclear enrichment.

That country can't have nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles. If we wait too long they will have both. And that doesn't just frick Israel, it fricks the world.

This is not Israel's problem alone. This is the entire world's problem.

No matter what, IRAN must go, period!

Of course we had a choice and made the right one. Making the wrong one for 40+ years has been catastrophic for the entire west.

This was started 47 years ago. Iran has told us repeatedly they are at war with us. They have killed our soldiers, maimed others, tried to assasinate our President, they have bombed our embassies and attacked shipping.

We have finally struck back.

We have significant assets, people, and bases all over the Middle East.

The US has bases all over the world. If bases being under a threat is justification for military action, then the US has a green light whenever it wants to.
