He is. He's also kind of a sexual harasser, too. Which is why you don't see him any longer in the traditional news media. Other than his peccadillos, he's a very well connected, prescient journalist who plays straight down the middle.

Yeah

People can say what they want about Halperin but he’s about the most straight up shot caller out there

What has Trump ever said or done that would make you think he would put boots on the ground in Iran?

Try to answer without talking about Zionist controlled/blackmailing everybody theory.

I don't see a worthy result without it.

We won't get rid of the authoritarian, radical Islamic ruling class (the group my change but the style won't) without boots on the ground (see: first Iraq War).

Iran will be fully capable of rebuilding and ramping up their terrorism and nuclear program again once the bombing stops (See: all the other times we have attacked their programs or created wars with them and the first Iraq War).

So it will ultimately become a "what was the point of all of that?"

So deporting criminals and terrorists is him doing what?

None of you can actually have a nuanced conversation.

Having ships in the ME has nothing to do with law enforcement at home.

If Biden didn’t have a wide open border less people would have cared about protecting Ukraines borders.

The revolution came from the people. It would have to be the same as the 70s in reverse.

Protesting their government has been going on for some years now. The people aren’t happy with the current regime

Does this mean deployments are paused for 30 days?

Listen, even after I left the Democratic party I still held out hope for this Leftist-DEM talking point for a while, even when Obama was trying this in his run.

This, like the "Iran is about to get a nuke" talking point is over 30 years old. Nothing has changed.

Just remember, this is a huge DEM talking point and is why Obama tried to work with Iran and why Biden turned their backs on Saudi Arabia (after Trump did so much work to get in their good graces)...all of that is now being blamed on why we have to bomb Iran now (so MAGA can spin this not being Trump's war).

MAGA now adopting that DEM belief/talking point would be a major 180.
