think calling a half dead regime the "same regime" is a stretch. They will never be the same after what T-daddy did to them.
Well they control the military and they control and have shut down one of the most important trade routes in the world.
In a way he made them more prominent on the world

Anyone who didn't see this coming would definitely be a dumbass.

The argument was whether we should care at all that the Strait of Hormuz is closed (which we should), not whether we should be taking any action in the region at all, but ok tough guy.

Energy commodity economics seems to be a bridge too far for many here.

Do you not understand that oil is a global commodity, sold at auction, where supply generally moves to the highest bidder, thus dictating prices worldwide?
US companies don't give domestic discounts.

America First also means other countries have to carry their own fricking water now and will have to forgive us if we don't bend over backwards when they're mad at us. They're welcome to be as mad about us and talk about us behind our backs at dinner parties. I'm good with that.
Remind me why we hate everyone, and why this makes it better somehow?

Finish figuring out what to do with preventing a nuke
wait, Trump told us he(they) destroyed Irans capability of ever creating a nuke. So it was another "Bush", Job done moment back then?

quote:I'm pretty sure he did not say he destroyed Iran's capability of "ever creating a nuke." He might have said that he destroyed their current capability. Even then, if he got additional information, do you not want him acting on that information? Or are you just happy to try to manufacture a "got heeem" moment on this message board?

Yup.
Europe will be paying a steep price for not assisting in this.
Not really. Iran won't do anything until Trump is out of office. By then another President will step in to help

Yes, it would have been.

Yeah I'm sure breaking things and telling everyone else it's their problem is a great diplomatic strategy. This is essentially full retard diplomacy.

I'm pretty sure it was factored into the decision and determined it was worth it.

Sometimes it's good to not be a little bitch in life, go over there and kick the shite out of the neighborhood bully. Deal with the fallout later.

This is a complete 180 from what Trump was saying just "two weeks" ago. Its amazing how MAGA will conform or contort to anything Trump says.
You’re a moron. The position changed when Europe decided they wanted the USA to do it for them. You really have a hard time understanding allegiance and strategy, don’t you?
