Speaking of Trump is at heart a NYC Democrat. Might be why he lies so much.

Catching up in this thread and see ron posting.
This is how I know I am on the right side of things.
Was it not thought out? You sure? Show me the documents where it was not planned out. You cant. We both know you cant.
Iran has used the threat of closure as leverage many times over roughly 40–50 years, especially when facing sanctions, military pressure, or oil-export restrictions. Major documented periods include:
1980s (Iran-Iraq War era)
2008
2011–2012 (nuclear sanctions crisis)
2018–2019 (after U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal)
June 2025 (parliament vote during a short Israel-Iran clash)
2025 was lower by .20 per gallon. Try again.

You are a special kind of stupid. Literally too stupid to debate.

You mean the ones that we spanked into submission and surrendered?
I did not realize they had no more men. Shocked they figured out how to make babies back then without men.

But a fricking nuclear weapon being detonated in the ME will have no impact on the economy.
Israel has no oil. They receive billions in welfare from the United States a year. What do we buy from Iran? If Israel were to nuke them what do we lose? You guys need to figure out if The Strait is needed or not needed.
Good lord. There has never been a more revealing response than this to prove a poster lives in ignorance due to no comprehension.
They guy clearly called you out on your thought of doing what we did to Japan and the fact that you think this will not result in a worse economic situation.
Markets would utterly collapse.

It would take drastic measures from us to make them quit - think firebombing cities, EMPs, tactical nukes etc. we both know we will not (nor should we) do that.
Why not? It's war. Not Play-fight or sort-of-war... but war. You probably think we shouldn't have nuked Japan in WW2.

this the answer when we stopped bombing it gave them time to regroup and get resupplied with weapons and start defending coordinated attacks.
They played us and were never even serious.
Rubio is the only one in the room who has the guts to win right now.
Whoever has the Presidents ear has been wrong all along. They didnt know these people. They have been fooling us for 47 years and we let them with our thinking diplomacy would work.
These people think dying for Allah gets them 47 virgins in whatever their afterlife is.

Allowing the insane Islamic Republic to get nukes is what kicking the can down the road lets happen. Regime change is the only solution.

Another DU failed trial balloon. Do your posts cost as much as a Jeb primary vote?

I stopped there. You have zero certainty about the words you say.
Might as well say the sun will collapse tomorrow and all life on earth will cease.
While the long deserved military action on Iran might have derailed your weak and fickle opinion....
Don't assume that for me or others.
Surely, you are one of those that assured us Trump would be finished, done, in prison, and never win reelection...
How's that worked out???
Sit back and shut up. After midterms, no matter the result, Trump will ramp up the pressure!

Looks like Op Economic Fury may work. All elements of national power are in progress. After all, it was economic power that defeated the USSR.
