I hope that is the case. trump did kind of commit himself with a tweet promising retaliation if Iran strikes at a US base

Do you truly feel this entire ordeal started to distract the public from impeachment talk? I'm asking genuinely.




Without evidence there is no way to say for sure, but would it really surprise you if this is the case?

Smart move is to just let this go (assuming there are no casualties) and let them have their “revenge.” Then de-escalate. No one wins wars.

We setup bases all around the middle east which pisses off the people there. Then some turn to terrorism which then they attack our bases and kill any citizens around the area. Then we say oh look how much of a threat they are we need to stay.

If we just pulled the frick out we would
not have terrorist killing soldiers and citizens because they'd be more concerned with the regimes like Syria and Iran


You have about 10 posts in this thread for me to pick apart... but I'll start with this one.

The reason the US is so militarily dominant is exactly because we have forces and bases deployed across the world.

I'd venture to say that the world experienced much, much less conflict once the US expanded across the globe because it was a strong deterrent to regional conflicts.

Armchair generals think they know more than the people who actually do this for a living, with mountains of intel that you can't even fathom.

Impeachment? All it takes is for Mrs. Pelosi to formally deliver the articles to the Senate. Why does she not do so if the president is so guilty and evil?

shite happens.

Iraq is an US ally for different reason than Iran is their ally.

Iran is not our ally. They are the enemy.

Iran just fired missiles into another country. That’s not good.

And the reason our bases are everywhere is because they all want our money/aid. They want to kick us out but would raise hell if we cut all funding

Their belief is they are doing the same thing.


I agree that the US is taking out terrorist, but Iran sees themselves doing the same.

They want control and power just like the US does.

bullshite. These assholes been a problem for the last 40+ something years. Jimmy should of nuked them way back then. These leaders over there has been losing power over their people the last 10 years. So they stir up the pot to keep their self's in power. I'm no rocket man, but I been there and done that shite. This shite just has to stop once and for all. It has cost way to many American lives the last 40+ years. Nuke them frickers.

Of course. Every country wants this.

That's why the US has to stay militarily dominant, or else another country will fill that void.

It's easy to say "hey man let's just pull out of everything and the world will be at peace."

That's not reality.

I'm not against that either. I'd rather be on the winning side.

Just noting the opinions on what our oppenents are from each side is similar.

The one that in the past toppled their government, destabilized the region in which they exist, sabotaged their nuclear program, threaten them when they protect their sovereignty.

It's their point of view that the US Army is a terrorist organization.
