Maybe but I don't have a problem with it. Wipe those mf's out Mr. President


- Trying to prompt regime change (substantively)
- Trying to do it without boots on ground
- Trying to do it with minimal US losses
- Trying to do it with minimal Iranian civilian losses

You're digging yourself an enormous hole right from the start, which is the US way of warfare in modernity.

It’s not fatal yet, but if he refuses to acknowledge that he must negotiate an exit or just walk away because the attempt at regime change via assassination failed will cost him his ability to pursue the rest of his agenda for the last two years of his term.
Well said but just begs the question of how is THIS more valuable to America than his current agenda...

how silly of me to question our government!


I didn't question your questioning. Go back and read again, until understood, then answer the question.

Dave Smith made a great point - 5 weeks ago the Strait was open and we hadn't spent $60 billion or lost any Americans.

We havent accomplished anything - its important to remember where we started versus where we stand now.


This is just retarded. So the only points in this conflict are the strait, money, and US lives?

The death of terrorists is nothing? The elimination of weapons facilities is nothing? Ending the ability of Iran to support terrorists across the ME is nothing?

I bet you don't even realize you're narrowing the scope to ignore vital outcomes just so your dumb argument makes sense. That would require thought instead of an emotional reaction.

It's not

If it worked perfectly, it's another Maduro moment that simultaneously brings glory to his legacy and contributes to the reshuffling of the deck we're doing hemispherically.

Rather predictably, though, it has not worked perfectly

No, go frick yourself. I value American lives more than you. Any death of an American, especially a soldier, should be met with unimaginable force.

frick all you pussies. Your weakness is pathetic. We don't capitulate to terrorists. This isn't Europe.

What do you consider an imminent threat? 2 weeks away, 2 months, 2 years, Inquiring minds want to know. The Iranians told Steve Witkoff they had enough 60% enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear bombs. Should be just have just brushed it off?

Which is why I was fine with taking the one shot attempt at regime change.

Given the failure of the assassination gambit we should just move on because this is so far down the list of global and domestic priorities I'm not sure it even makes my top 25.

The problem with Iranian claims is simple.
1. It is in their best interests to be as far along as possible with their nuclear ambitions.
2. It is also in their best interests to lie about how far along they are with their nuclear ambitions.

OK, but do you also want to be spared the truth about how Iran has been killing Americans for 47 years, jerkoff?

In Iran, if you protest, you die. Not metaphorically. Snipers on rooftops shoot people in the head and chest. In January, the regime massacred thousands in the streets, many of them young people whose only crime was demanding a normal life.
When he says Iranians are telling the U.S. “please keep bombing” he’s describing a population so desperate to be free from a regime that murders them for protesting, that they’re willing to endure war if it means the system that has terrorized them for 47 years finally falls.
You may not understand that. Most Westerners can’t. You’ve never lived in a country where your daughter can be shot in the face for not covering her hair. Where your son disappears into Evin Prison and you get a call to come pick up the body. Where the internet goes dark so the world can’t see the killing.
That’s what “they have lived in a world that you know nothing about” means.
Before the media turns this into “Trump wants to bomb civilians,” understand: the Iranian people have been begging the world to see them for years. This is the first U.S. president to say it out loud.

.@POTUS explains to a reporter that the Iranian people yearn for freedom: "We've had numerous intercepts, 'Please keep bombing' ... and these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding... they want freedom. They have lived in a world that you know nothing about."
