When there is nothing left to fall back on, whip the Dogs of War to mesmerize the dim masses.

But to what end?

In honesty, I'm torn, but leaning toward retaliation. We have to either hit Iran hard, or completely withdraw from the region. Simply leaving our personnel exposed to Iranian attacks is NOT an option. If we do decide to retaliate, it doesn't need to be proportionate. The response needs to be decidedly DISPROPORTIONATE. OTOH, if Biden said "You know what? We have no strategic interests in that region significant enough to risk the lives of American personnel. We're out." I still wouldn't vote for that idiot or any other Democrat, but I wouldn't necessarily be pissed either.

Full on invasion with one stipulation: The invading forces must be made up EXCLUSIVELY of Trannies, women and minorities.

We already blew it by not retaliating immediately

The OP also cried like a bitche about Orange wanting 5bil for a wall

My opinion is we respond with force.


Would you be OK with putting women and Trannies exclusively on the front lines and letting white men sit this one out?

Who gives a shite if someone "hates" us? That's an infantile emotion. Respect is what are actions should be geared around.

I think there's damn few places in the world worth getting 19-20 year old American men killed over, but running scared because someone might "hate" us is not the reason to restrain from using force. There are other, more rational reasons to justify not using armed force.

We need to retaliate where it will do the maximum amount of damage with a minimum risk to American life.

I just don’t trust the numbskulls in this administration to execute that properly,

Respond with force. Not to start a war but to take a step toward peace and stability. Biden's fecklessness has emboldened Iran. A significantly disproportionate strike is required.

My mind is truly blown that adults actually believe that lobbing a couple of missiles will accomplish this.

Absolutely mind blowing.

Maybe a little melodramatic on your part actually.

Not understanding how people think the usual strikes will suddenly work this time is melodramatic?

If it absolutely blows your mind, I think yeah maybe probably yeah. But the good thing here is that it’s curable.

I remember when Clinton ordered several Tomahawks to strike some shacks and abandoned training centers in Afghanistan in retaliation for the Cole and African embassy bombings 25 years ago.

It's crazy how ingrained China's rise is in the American psyche. They're in demographic collapse and are experiencing a slow economic death spiral and we still have the uneducated believing that they're still an up-and-coming superpower. They peaked over a decade ago and are on the downhill slide.

Not having American troops in these areas. We have no business there.

A long term solution for Iran? I won't pretend to know the answer.

But these half-assed, cursory missile strikes have never worked, and it won't work this time either. It will only increase the problem.
