You mean besides keeping them from having a nuclear weapon?


I'm sure you fell for that same line in Iraq also.

Iranian missiles are a threat to Paris, Tel-Aviv, and London, not DC, NYC, or L.A.


I was reminded of that statement when I read today's news: A senior Iranian official invoked the White House while discussing Tehran's missile capabilities Friday, saying Iran wants to develop weapons with enough range to reach the U.S.

Iranian Vice President for Executive Affairs Mohammad-Jafar Ghaempanah made the remarks on Iranian state television.

Ghaempanah said he had previously told Saudi officials about Tehran's desire for longer-range missiles, arguing that such weapons could allow Iran to target the White House rather than U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia.

He did not provide additional details about the reported conversation with Saudi officials.

Nothing. We’re accomplishing nothing. Those people are insane.

If you have to ask...... you wouldn't understand nor accept whatever answer other's provided.


This is going to play so, so well with swing voters paying high gas prices, come November.

"If you have to ask why we started this war of choice that spiked inflation and we have no way out of, well, you don't even deserve an answer."

People are going to love it just as much as when you ask a woman what's wrong and she says "you should know what."

Really excited for the midterms.

Iran's Islamic Republic having nukes would be a 1000 times worse than North Korea. The only way that will actually prevent that is regime change.


"If we determine that you have a nuke, we will nuke you."

Would work and be much cheaper and less of a quagmire than yet another stupid "regime change" war. And we can't even win this one.

And if your response is, "but how would we know if they have a nuke?" well, then how can we know they're "two weeks away from getting a nuke!"

How long have they been "two weeks away from a nuclear weapon"? 20 years or so?



Literally since I was a little kid. I'm in my mid 40s now.

Yeah, but the thing is, you can't use that mentality and let your guard down. That's how they really DO get to be two weeks away, and then you're screwed.

We’re exposing all the retarded Trump sycophants with no principles besides “Trump needs to eat more pineapple”.

It’s accomplishing that, at least

Swell argument. Very persuasive.





**My bad if this is a psyop actually seeking to push people towards Trump. Which in that case, keep up the good work. Hell, keep up the good work either way!!

Absolutely nothing. This is unwinnable unless there is an internal replacement of the regime. That will never happen so we have to decide whether we send in 500,000 ground troops. Trump might be willing to do that if the GOP loses the midterms.

We accomplished getting a more hardline, dangerous regime in place.

They weren’t getting a nuke and it wasn’t a threat to the US if they did.

Miriam Adelson donated a $100 million to get Israel protected.

Trump is completely gone if this is even partially true.
