I think a full scale ground invasion, something for which little to no political will exists, is the only option that could realistically, even possibly, deliver Trump’s stated war gains.


When the intelligence and conditions dictate the proper time, we will send in limited ground forces to get the uranium. Just my opinion.

Till then, we keep wearing them down. They launch a missile, we take out the launch system. We keep hitting lower level targets. Take out more leadership members when able to.

But eventually we get the heavy metal.

The way I describe it is Iran is like a chronic pain that America has been living with for decades. We’ve looked into removing it, but the only possible treatment is an really expensive surgery with a painful rehab process that still isn’t a guarantee of success. Do we just keep living with the pain we know or do we bite the bullet and agree to an expensive painful surgery with uncertain outcomes?

Should have not done anything. Make Europe deal with them. If the goal was/is to expose Europe then so be it but it looks like has been more of side quest then the actual goal.

Make Europe fight its own battles.

The process of removing the IRGC would not benefit the average U.S. citizen in any way.

And everyone knows this

Hence why there is little support for the war outside of a quickly diminishing MAGA base

Be doing instead of what we're doing.

Oh maybe let Israel or other Middle Eastern countries handle it since they are in that region?

Iran was of ZERO threat to deliver a nuclear device to North America.

Let a Democrat administration take the hit. Retarded for Trump to take this on and give us a President Newsom with a strong Dem majority. We'll lose our 1st and 2nd amendments this way just like GWBs idiocy gave us Obama.

We never should have been doing this in the first place. This was Israel’s problem.

The way you have framed it though is now that we are in it, what should we do?

Well, once you spouse cheats on you, what do you do? There really aren’t good options….WHICH IS WHY WE SHOULDN’T HAVE started this war.

The people that have been against this have been correct the whole time. We’ve predicted this outcome.

That doesn’t mean we are liberals, or communists, or pussies.

Now, we have a President literally threatening to wipe those he was saying we are saving from existence.

Trump has taken a bad situation and made it much, much worse.

I was 100% on board with the strikes on their nuclear facilities 7 months ago, that was a good call, and it should've stopped right there. Iran had made zero progress in recovering their nuclear program after those strikes, there was absolutely zero reason to get into this quagmire.


This is where I'm at. How did he get talked into this?

This is NOT what I voted for.

What to do next? I have no idea. He created this. His ego won't let him back off. What a mess.

This is like your friend saying “hey, should I open up my marriage? The idea of having sex with another woman other than my wife sounds really hot!”

Everyone immediately chimes in: no, that’s the dumbest idea ever. She’s just going to hook up with someone else, you’re not gonna get what you imagine, you’ll get jealous, and your marriage will instantly implode.

Your friend then says: “y’all don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m doing it!”

Then, a couple weeks later, he comes back to you complaining: “I can’t believe my wife slept with someone else! What do I do? Can you help me?!”

Like, f$&k, everyone told you what would happen, you did it anyway, what the f$&k did you think the outcome was gonna be?

So let's hear it. What should we be doing, those who are sure?


This was never our war to fight. Iran has never, is not, and won’t be a nuclear threat to the US for a very long time. They’ve been 2 months away from nuclear weapons since the mid 1990’s. Same story as global warming.

And… yes, we are only over there, because Israel has compromised our government. Most of our politicians are either blackmailed by them, or owned by them with money.

This war is about 3 things:

1 Israel expending its borders
2 Installation of a central bank in Iran
3 Global monetary digitalization in the petro US dollar for total control of every financial aspect of people’s lives.

So… No, I don’t want any part of this war. It only hurts the American people.

One could say that Trump thinks the US should control all the oil. Whether it be in Venezuela or the Persian Gulf

we shouldn't leave without accomplishing a regime change


We should be careful about what we wish for.

Which is a more likely scenario?

A. The current regime is toppled and a moderate, US friendly regime replaces it.

B. Rival factions fight a civil war...with weapons we provided them. We back the more moderate side. China and or Russia arm and supply the crazies on the other side. They win. China comes in and rebuilds all the shite we blew up. And we're right back to Death to America and they restart a nuclear program.

Long term, an IRGC-less Iran could benefit the U.S.


I was listening to a Tom Woods podcast and his guest Scott Horton went into some 90s and 2000s Iran history. HW Bush, Cheney, W Bush and several others wanted diplomatic ties to Iran in an effort to box out Russia. Every time they made progress Ariel Sharon managed to flex some Israel lobbies and cut off any deal.

Horton said HW went as far as blaming them for him being a one term President.

What outcome?

Again, we're barely 40 days into this.

What resolution do you think has happened?

So we need to go to war with Israel, then.

Right?

If Israel really literally controls our government, that can't be allowed to stand.

Admit what?

This has barely started. What is it you think you correctly predicted?

If all y'all are saying is, "I could have told them 40 days in that I'd be melting down about this and predicting doom at that point, and see? 40 days in and I'm melting my arse off! I told them and told them and told them that's what would happen!"

If that's all y'all are saying, then o.k., but I don't think that's much of a prophetic accomplishment.

If you're saying you predicted an actual physical event and it happened, what is that physical event?

Your prediction of how things will go from this point onward does not count as a physical event.
