Did you have to start a new thread because the old "about" thread was getting old?

When the government of Iran continues to be out of control and reckless…it’s time to snuff out the cancer and clean it up.

My guess is that Trump wants regime change. I believe he wants Khomeni (sp) out. I think that he would like the same thing that he believes the Iranian people want, a leadership that is less oppressive on women and less of the hard line leaders who threaten the US and Israel and frankly all its neighbors with a nuclear war.
There has been a litany of valid reasons given by posters on why Iran should be attacked, including yours. I am only referencing the reasoning that has been given publicly by the administration.

The nuclear threat that was said to be eliminated by the President, no less. The threat of Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, though their offensive prowess was said to be greatly diminished by Israel’s attacks last summer. The killing of Iranian citizens in a revolt of some unknown measure, to which the President said was not going be tolerated. While a tragedy, it was committed by a sovereign nation on their own citizens within their own borders.

These things are not an attack on our nation and do not represent an imminent threat to the continental U.S. Unless our policy is to now dictate the actions of nations on their own soil (even if they are inhumane), it does not meet the historical bar for acts of aggression by our military.

Maybe it’s best to wipe out the regime while we can before they continue to be a thorn in our side forever and, eventually, develop a nuke.


did you copy and paste this statement from 2003?

They don't care about budgets when it relates to defense or ICE.

So immigration enforcement has no benefit to tax payers?

Nothing is ever imminent at its outset but a track record of 47 years ought to be cause for consideration

Not every conflict has to turn into a 20 year occupation and nation building like Iraq.

If you can’t see the difference between Iran and Iraq idk what to tell you.

One actually has proven nuclear development centers. If they get a bomb they turn into a worse North Korea.

Merriam-Webster defines “ally” as “one that is associated with another as a helper; a person or group that provides assistance and support in an ongoing effort, activity or struggle"

What exactly does Isreal, a nation smaller than Rhode Island, with no means of protecting itself without US equipment, do for us to be considered "our greatest ally"?

I also wanted to ask if allies usually spy on each other? You do know about Jonathan Pollard right? You do know Isreal continues actions against its "greatest ally" even today.

Tell me, how exactly are they our greatest ally or even just an ally

America is always in a war. Military industrial complex has a large amount of influence over our traitorous government.
