But it's ok to put our grandchildren further into national debt for a regime change war in the Middle East because Trump did it this time....

hey asshat if your democrat overlords had attended to the nation's business instead of setting up corruption schemes, - from LBJ on down to Biden's string puller - we'd all be better off today and 90% of today's problems would have never occurred.

And if you hadn't spent the last 10 years trying to get something on Trump to put him in jail with and spent some of that time and energy in trying to understand what real problems we had, perhaps something could have been done sooner, cheaper, and less hazardous.

But instead - you spent all your time and resources bringing in illegal aliens to help you stuff the ballot boxes and further robbing the treasury for payoffs to your hired 'protesters.'

1st warthog ever shot down in USAF combat history?


I think we lost about 5 during Desert Storm.

Correction: 6, 2 pilots KIA. 2 A-10's lost to AAA, which will always be a danger because of the low level missions. All the other Air Force planes are too fragile for that mission.

I suspect the shoulder fired air to air missile is what got hte F-15. The A-10, I
The stingers we sent into Afghanistan to take out the Russian helicopters, were nightmares for the Russians. This could be a problem or a headache for the US.

Taking out an A-10 with a shoulder fired would be a heck of a shot considering how tough that thing is.

Appreciate the insight.

No one is going to question US military superiority or tactical advantage.

The problem is I’m not exactly sure what a long term strategic win looks like here.

You need the regime to collapse. Then you need to make sure the power vacuum is filled by a less problematic regime, rather than a more hardline/problematic regime.

In the meantime Iran is losing control of proxy militias which are going rogue, Israel is expanding territory, Russia’s getting rich, NATO is justifiably aggravated, Europe is probably still pissed about JCPOA, and Iran hasn’t nuked anyone.

We look fricking stupid.

Huh? A power vacuum isn't going to produce a more hardliner regime. That's what they have.

Some shop owners start protesting in December, which leads to tens of thousands of murders through January. They were on their last leg economically and have water issues.

The fallout, is a pending civil war. You, me, trump, nobody knows what comes from that. But it ain't going to be worse than what they had.

That's looking less likely than it was a couple of weeks ago. Pulling it off without boots on the ground lowers the odds further. It can still happen but I wouldn't put a lot of money on it given the messaging I've seen.

The crop dusting piece of shite they are trying to replace it with is a piece of junk. Someone needs slapped for that idea.
