What’s a few more trillion in debt for a 5 year war.

I love seeing how quickly yall backtracked to 5 years now when we started at WWIII (#5).

Its still cringe though - We're on what? Day 16?

I’ve been against the war from the beginning, but if we find a way to neutralize their drones, the war won’t last five years. That seems like a big if.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) is generally considered a pro-Western / pro-U.S. strategic analysis think tank, and most analysts view its work as aligned with mainstream U.S. national-security perspectives.

Funding & background: ISW is a Washington-based defense policy think tank with ties to U.S. national-security circles and defense-policy donors.

Staff: Many analysts come from military, intelligence, or defense-policy backgrounds.


May as well have just asked Hegseth if you wanted state propaganda.

So Iran will be a beautiful democrat republic in 5 years. Or we will we spend half a trillion dollars and it will be a shite show in 10? Which is more likely?

A billion a day, keep doing the math, and then do an interest calc since we are in a deficit. It isn’t that hard.

A relatively small, hard to detect, vessel with a rocket launcher can inflict heavy damage on shipping in the Straits. I’m not sure we have the plan or means to deal with this kind of attack.

Yup, they pretend that the entire Make America Great Again movement centered around declining trade, declining Military power.

What's even funnier is when they seriously propose getting rid of California...

These people hate the idea of a Great America, and like the idea of one with shrinking income, power, and landmass.

What nonsense did you just post? Iran can’t even hit us with missiles. Explain how this will “make America great”?

I don't know, pussy. Why don't you continue to keep crying about something that hasn't even happened yet.
