And no, it’s not worse than dropping a bomb on American citizens.

Acute pain vs chronic pain, IMO.

To be clear, I didn't use the word "worse".

The "obliterated" part is confusing you because some people want you to be confused. Personally, I believe we did obliterate their centrifuges (or the vast majority of them) and the facilities they were operating in. But I think it's highly plausible that the already enriched uranium they had (60%) may not have been destroyed. Someone destroying your tools doesn't necessarily destroy the things you've already built with them.

---

I think language has been used loosely for sure. Which just adds to the confusion. Having enough uranium to make 11 bombs doesn't mean that it has been enriched to that level... but it could be interpreted that way. If Bessent is telling the truth our side is only going to interpret one way. I wouldn't find fault in that at all because the risk is far too great. That statement, if true, was the ultimate FAFO for Iran. But the ghost of WMDs is still out there and thus the skepticism from some.

It's happening whether I like it or not. I have no say, which is don't like, but I cannot change it.

I understand why it's happening, and that my opinion is irrelevant in the big picture.

I support our troops and I support their efforts. I trust this administration far more than the last administration. FAR more.

As long as this doesn't drag out into another 20 year war in the burning hellscape of the middle-east, I'm fine with it. As long as we stay out of of it once the IDF and the people of Iran (possibly even the Kurds) take the ground game to the regime to free the country, I'm fine with it.

Now if we put battalions of boots on the ground, I'll have a pretty serious problem with that, though it's still just my irrelevant opinion. But my support for our troops won't end with that.

Iran has been increasingly aggressive and meddlesome since the W. Years and this crap eventually had to be addressed one way or another. I'd rather be handling it now than if it happened under Biden or in the future under Newsome. Just trying to maintain a personal stoicism on the topic.

Ghazi is that you?

Its a huge gamble that, if it pays off, will be the largest political play of my lifetime. I know "regime change" is a bad word in certain circles, but yes.. if you are going to go after a snake you have to make sure it is dead before you turn your back on it.

It could also turn to shite.

I absolutely support the effort and admire a President willing to put action to words rather than just saying "don't" like the previous administration.

Yes you're very wrong. If you're a Christian

People using "if you're Christian" like some trump card. Here is a moral dilemma for you:

risk 3,000 servicemen + any collateral casualties now.

OR

wait until Iran has a nuke and hits London killing millions of people?

You see, real life is complicated and full of trade offs so keep your "if you were a real Christian" bullshite to yourself. Once Iran has long range nuclear capabilities, they would be untouchable.

How do you complain “OMG how did we get here??!!”

Show me where I did that.

No, I don’t think you’re wrong at all.
