You'll get no response. Trump is human and thus far from perfect. But the people who constantly insist that he "has no plan" are the ones who have no plan. Or they don't have a plan they're willing to publicly reveal.

Even the Trump critics on TD think the Iran regime is evil and needs to be replaced. They just question how prudent and costly (in lives, money, and political capital) conducting this war is right now or see the current operation as sloppy, unnecessary, and/or contrary to campaign rhetoric.


Bingo.

Which was the overall consensus of MAGA including myself up until the Iran bombing began. Now it’s like reading comments written by Bush era republicans when the Iraq war started.

Watching how both sides flip positions based on the latest thing is a case study in how tribal politics can lead to really bad outcomes.

Are you saying you expect this conflict to still be going in 3 months?

To cause regime change? Yes.

And to do it we’d need ground troops which I’m adamantly opposed to.

No one is getting too bent out of shape about lobbing missiles at terror funding radical mullahs.

I just don’t believe we can change anything significant with regard to the Iranian situation (stop the nuclear program long term, make deals that will stick, stop them pushing radical Shia Islam to the region/world or keep China out of there) without changing the regime and I don’t think we can do that without ground troops so I’m opposed on both moral (no Americans to die in the sand for the MIC/Israeli foreign policy goals) and geopolitical grounds.

If Trump leaves in a week after taking out a few more mullahs no one will even be talking about this in a month.

The outrage from Tucker and others was largely due IMO to Trump going broad on what the objectives were here post initial strikes and beginning to mobilize the 82nd AB and marine expeditionary units for ground action.

Anyone who wants a ground war in Iran can go fight it themselves because they don’t understand the terrain in eastern Iran (basically Afghanistan)or the realities we’d be facing clearing cities like Tehran.

You guys understand that Kelly and Carlson are just talking heads with no real information, that make a living spouting conspiracies.


What obfuscates perception/reality is the comment section for theirs and similar influencer videos which skews heavily towards isolationism, anti-Israel, etc.

There’s a decent chance that a vast majority of the comments are bots and/or foreign accounts.
