re: Israel/Iran War: The US is bombing Iran

quote:

So much for no new wars, just like Bush, Obama, and Biden, Trump is a war monger not surprised

We're not at war.

You’re insane

We're not at war.

You can define our current posture any way that cuddles your cockles, but answer this simple question: If a country openly bombed the Y-12 complex, would you see it as an act of war or not?


Although I do not get a morning security briefing, I think it was probably warranted, but it is hard to impossible to argue it wasn't an act of war no matter what the official posture is.

quote:

---

I'm sure Iran views it as an act of war.

---

Are you saying you don't see it as an act of war?

quote:

Normally, I’d agree with you and that we’re surrounded by oceans.

But I FIRMLY believe that there are definitely Iranian sleeper cells in the country somewhere and they came through Mexico.

Last time I said that I said no one is stupid enough to attack the US, 9/11 happened. I’m a little less sure about this time around.

---

This I agree with, but I also think they're just as likely to attack from within today as they were yesterday.

Are you saying you don't see it as an act of war?

Did you view our air strikes in Syria in 2018 as an act of war? Did that start a war with Syria?

Like I said, I'm sure Iran views this as an act of war just like I'm sure Syria viewed that as an act of war. These countries aren't on our level and I'm not going to pretend they are.

ETA: Was our targeted assassination of Solemani an act of war from our perspective?

It’s a “special military operation”. Not a war…

“Special military operation. “

The government better find the sleeper cells before the rednecks do.

There are many things you can do to get that label

Mentioning that Trump put Fauci in charge of Warp Speed, got the vaccine himself, and encouraged others to do so

---

Not really because it was the mandates that were the biggest issue for most including Losing job, getting kicked out of military, going to school, showing vaccination card to enter places, the mask mandate, all the pushed “boosters” using same original vaccine that had long become fairly useless outside of dangerously surging very inflammatory antibodies, and so on. I do wonder about the reverse if someone reminds leftists about the above with Trump.

quote:

---

Mentioning the fact that Trump has always been a big government progressive

---

I don’t see that either and think you are changing topics when you bring up something like this. Dems back during GeorgeW were pushing border control and immigration law enforcement. Obama was against gay marriage publicly not long before he was for it. Obama choose to run from the flag during 2008 Dem Primaries until he won to look more mainstream for general election. Clinton signed the defend marriage law. People change views. It is worse if flip flopping by career politicians while campaigning for multiple elections including years of pushing one way to vilify it later in same or similar elected offices. I was concerned about Trump being closer to Hilliary in many views, but he was a pleasant surprise in first term and has been even more so this Presidency so far. What really disgusts me are the liberals who run as moderates and then vote as liberals once elected. It happens in the south a lot for statewide elections.

quote:

Saying that it's actually a crime and morally reprehensible to invade your neighbor

How does this get one labeled a leftist? Specifically what context is this being said? That’s what illegals are doing.

quote:

---

Bringing up the fact that Trump went something like 0 for 62 in court trying to "prove" that the 2020 election was stolen

---

More likely leaving out some details or forgetting them like Biden’s corpse.





I think you are mixing up being called a leftist due to your overall posts and views and then being reminded of those views each time you show your TDS or try to claim moderate ground or try to use straw man tactics on relevance of argument against another’s post.
