This is a great highlight reel queued up at 2:27:

Just curious…

Your weakness is beyond pathetic

So you agree this war didn't just start?

His points are valid. You proved it by calling him a fig instead of addressing it. Which is sort of ironic because the reason you're doing it is because you're obsessed with another man. Makes you wonder who the fig really is.

Muh 47 year war. At least go back to 1953 if you're going to do that.

No need.

How about this?


quote:

Between October 2023 and November 2024: Iran and its proxies conducted  more than 180 attacks against U.S. forces in the Middle East, wounding  more than 180 U.S. service members and killing three service members.

Not allowing Iran to have nukes protects our security. And you probably bitched about Trump not wanting to police Hormuz.

We were not actively at war with Iran in the sense that they were directly attacking us. Have they tried to undermine our interests in the region? Sure. I don't think anyone questions that.

As far as them actively waging a war. That's stuff that some really dumb people might fall for. I have some faith that doesn't apply to you.

Which was what Trump more or less ran on in the first place.

The fact is that Trump has been consistent about Iran, even when he was a private citizen

Being against unwindable wars that we go into without the resolve to finish what we started is far different from striking and acting in America’s interests

Trump did not go back on his word, he never promised to capitulate and he never promised that military action was off the table

a bunch of figs whining and manipulating past statements is not the gotcha that you seem to think it is

How about spitting facts about how your Presidents Obama and Biden gave Iran hundreds of billions of dollars to build up their nuclear, missile and drone operation because they hate Israel?

I'll hang up and listen.

I agree, I don't think we should be anywhere

What candidate are you planning on voting for that will bring all of our troops home?



I'm open to suggestions.



But this wasn't military.

It's ok for Trump to have been critical of being in the Middle East and then going in himself now. You see, as POTUS he has to deal with the bullshite others have handed him. And, as the OP shows, he has long since said he would be willing to deal with Iran.

He took office, the situation presented itself, and he did what he always said he would do.

Now, perhaps if previous POTUSes hasn't been doing what they had done, he wouldn't have to do what he is now doing. See how that works?

And yes, no matter how much you want to pretend they haven't been, Iran has been attacking our interests and our soldiers for damn near 50 years now.

frickin give your balls a tug, man. Jesus Christ.

60 years ago, an American citizen could go untouched anywhere in the world. If harmed, retaliation was swift and severe.

When did that change and why?
