Biden started this situation with Iran.' This statement actually prompted me to reflect. If this were to happen under Biden, I would have been like, 'aw, hell naw, no, we don't need to be sending our troops over there to get killed, and this is going to cost us billions and maybe even lead to another war that we are stuck there for 20 years again.' But because it's Donald, this was a noble and patriotic act. And I'm the one who has been calling leftists 'hypocrites' for years.

Just respond with the only thing that MAGA has left in their back pocket. "Just think how much worse things would be if Kamala was in office"

I would not have been. I know it would be incompetency leading it which would be unfortunate but ever since 79, I have harbored a deep hatred for Iran's ayatollah and government as well as any terrorism they've had a hand in (which is virtually 100%).

Doesn't matter to me even if Hussein and Mike did it but we all know Hussein didn't have the stomach or the balls for it.

You're complicating things. Besides, everyone is a hypocrite to some degree.
Chill out...

I understand your sentiment but the above is actually true in some ways.

But he didn't, he simply facilitated what Barry began, another Democratic coward

First I'd ask myself what my reasons are. If my reasons can be articulated and laid out for why I support or don't support the operation, I'd respond with my reasoning. If I looked internally and discovered that I really don't have good reasons, I'd evaluate my position.

The difference, and you know this, is that Obama would hamstring the military and offer them up as sacrificial recompense to his people, the mullahs. Trump allows the military to be unleashed. You can’t compare the two without that reality.

Sigh. Still far more than the last and Hussein before all that. And still better than what Nambla Kambla would have given us.

"...and you would have carried on about your day like you did each time Obama bombed a new country if Biden started this situation with Iran."

It's probably going to get downvoted into oblivion but I do think one can make a coherent argument as to how this operation benefits the United States. Not saying everyone has to agree, but I do think there's at least an argument that can be made.

IF they have a valid argument then it’s okay to agree with them. You do not have to agree with Trump on everything.

If the argument is not valid explain to them why it’s not valid.

You don't have to agree with everything Trump does. That's your answer.

I would not have had trust in Biden to do whats best for us.

I have trust that Trump is doing what is best for us.

That is the major difference.

If you have to start a thread asking such a question...maybe you shouldn't be trying to instigate political arguments
