Sending 2 strike groups, hundreds of Air Force planes, ground forces and so on isnt war but it’s costing a frick ton of $. Call it whatever you want.

Until people realize that Israel of today isn't the same Israel of the Bible...this will continue forever

Because one of Donald's staffers spouted off some nonsense on social media one night and drew a red line that said there would be hell to pay of the ayatollah's boys killed a bunch of protesters.

Yea, man. The only reason the we want to take out a fundamentalist Muslim country who has taken US citizens hostage and calls us the great Satan is because of Israel. Jesus, we should've taken out the Iranian mullahs in 1979.

I will not disagree with any of this. I will add this though. If all of these things are true, are there any questions as to the timing of Netanyahu’s visit and the immediate aggressive stance we resumed thereafter? The protests almost immediately after the talks that quickly turned violent can be chalked up to coincidence, but nonetheless suspicion about the quickness of these (unrelated?) events doesn’t seem irrational.

My man, before Netanyahu even visited Trump said if one protestor in Iran was killed we would rain down hell (not a direct quote but close enough for my purpose). Yet, here we are 1.5 months later with up to 40,000 protestors killed at a maximum and no strikes. This is not an Israel thing. If anything Israel will be the one with boots on the ground while we provide air and naval coverage.

And there still hasn’t been. You leftists have cried many times that Trump was about to start a war but y’all are batting .000.

From the Chief of the Israeli Home front Command Major-General Shay Kalper" "We are preparing for a large multi-front scenario."

That's what has changed.

You're kidding yourself if you don't think that post was endorsed by Trump.

Is it? Every dollar spent has already been allocated. The issue is that we don't have zero based budgeting so every agency wants to justify their prior fiscal budget allotment but the money has already been spent whether our military assets sit in port or at home or are used to eliminate a 45 year enemy.

What did the Mujahideen want?

It wasn't really freedom was it?

Was it that they wanted a government based on Islamic teachings and tUSSR opposed that?

What organization did the Mujahideen morph into?

This is the problem. Things may not be peachy in Iraq, but they are less problematic. Furthermore, Persians are not savages like many Arabs are

Hey, we've been told that he lets randos run amok on his accounts. I just work on the belief that staffers are responsible for all posts.

I agree until the President says that if you kill any of them it's over for you. At that point it becomes a red line in the sand that I know many of us here talked crap about Obama declaring and then doing nothing about. Like it or not the US is about to Desert Storm Iran.

Bibi can't do it alone and needs Trump to do it for him.

He nominated him for the NPP, so thats enough.

Nothing says deserving the peace prize like Bombing Iran again bc it failed the first time.
