Honestly Tehran looks better than Brooklyn or Portland as far as quality of people

No I'm not. That's why I am asking why are we at this point. How did any of the conflict in Iran push the America first agenda? How would instability or stability in Iran improve our immigration issues, election fraud, etc. etc.

You are exactly right. You know our military did not prepare for that contingency at all. They though it was a rumor it was Iran's only leverage, so they laughed at it.


All of the reaction from the straight being closed indicates that there was a plan for the Straight, but it never materliazed and there was no backup.

You can't look at the reaction and actions with the continued closure and blindly agree that it was all part of the plan.

I am open to discussion. I completely agree that Iran is a problem and has been a thorn in our side for 47 years. However, I don’t think it justifies this war.

I’m fine with precision attacks on nuclear infrastructure if we think they are getting close to a bomb. But the magnitude of this operation creates regional instability while not achieving regime change. it also affects global energy prices, not to mention 13 service members died. congrats, their military is set back 10-15 years, is that really worth it?

Trump may take some hits from public opinion but he's the perfect guy to do this, the middle east is scared shitless of the mad man and knows he will put foots in their asses.



Unlike the Democrat girly men Obama and Biden

Exposure is the key word. What did it expose? Since 1988 POTUS Trump knew Kharg Island was the key.

Yes we do. Anybody who educates themselves knew weeks ago that Iran has us by the short hairs from a strategic aspect.

This is not a winnable situation

Now do the sun coming up every morning and we can see clearly, doesn’t mean it won’t get dark later. They have stated their intentions and have threatened safety for the entire world. Finally enough is enough

It's now or never.

With the direction the world is going I couldn't image the position we would be when Iran decided it was time to attack..

1. decapitate leadership only to be replaced by virtually the same leadership 2. the plan didn’t account for Iran’s ability to shut down the Strait. we would be out of there by now if the oil was flowing.
any moron coulda told you these two things. We haven’t choices. Get the hell out or stay present for a year or more then get out. The results of either will be the exact same. This was a dumb move.

How old are you? Why does this have to be a normal response on a this board? It’s juvenile, ignorant and does nothing to advance conversations.

This thing ends tonight we will be out of there by the end of the week. And the majority of people on this post you think they know what they’re talking about will look stupid. This has been literally the best executed war in history in will go down as such. It’s sad that the Tucker Carlson’s of the world have ruined the brains of the right.. this should be our shining moment and it will be eventually. Trump will go down as the greatest world leader in history.

Now, Trump has put himself in a difficult situation of whether or not to follow through on his threats. Totally manufactured by him. What are we doing here? What happened to America First?

Do you think there's a deeper reason besides what is communicated in the media? Doesn't make sense to get involved at a point when the economy was poised to take off. I'm grasping at straws but maybe he's exposing the Israel lobby and how powerful they are. Praying for this to end, .
