Yeah It’s not like democrats offer a sane or realistic plan for the country. They are all tranny freaks imho. But same as you , an unprovoked war especially in Iran was where I say I’m done.

Because the Iranian regime is one the ropes


It’s starting to look like most Iranians don’t want Israel and the USA forcing them to change a regime… the premise silly on it’s face… just because you see a protest on the news with 50k people in a country of 90 million plus doesn’t mean the majority of the population wants to fundamentally change their country

That was the calculus. Remains to be seen what will happen. Way too early to tell. The real world doesn’t operate on TikTok time.

Just say you have no idea what a MEU is or does.


I had to ask chatgpt because I for sure didn't know. I felt much better about the headline after getting more information about what a MEU actually is and what they do.

+60% enriched uranium to make 11 nuclear warheads and had prototypes for ICBMs


And where is that material now? And if this was such dire emergency, why did the gulf states seem much more concerned with the fallout from an Israeli/Us attack that would result in an unstable Iran than one on the brink of constructing nuclear weapons. They would after all be targets as well.

Calm down. Its about 2500 troops. We aren't launching any sort of ground invasion with a force that smal


Exactly.

They are going to slip in somewhere and frick some shite up and slip out.

This is not a ground invasion requiring full logistical support.

There was a mass uprising against the regime less than 3 months ago. You are seriously retarded.

If you want to frick with Iran, why not wait another 9 months until after mid terms. Mortgages rates were coming down, gas prices stabilized. Now you have kicked a hornets nest right before election season for no real reason.


We're going to get slammed in the mid-terms causing Trump's last 2 years to be gridlock which will put at us at a disadvantage in 2028. All for Israel to act big and bad.

Tough to guess what their mission will be. But can guess it is needed and critical and short term ……

If you actually care about the country you would be 100x more concerned about the midterm elections than you would be about what the frick is going on in Iran.

Iran is not a threat to the United States with or without a nuclear weapon. Like zero threat no matter how you want to spin it retroactively. If the Iranians want a nuclear weapon, they want it for security like North Korea. Not to mention we obviously have eyes and ears all over Iran through both human and technological sources. Again, Iran is minimal threat at best.

The future of the country depends on routing Democrats, not giving them a campaign for no reason at all.

Iran was fricked up, is fricked up and will still be fricked up for the next hundred years I promise you. All Trump did is needlessly bet everything on a regime change war by choice and it was a stupid choice.

Mindblowing stupid.

It's the John Bolton, Lindsey Graham foreign policy going back decades that was ridiculed here as recently as November 2024. Now it's brilliant?

I remember when Trump fired Bolton and said Bolton wanted us in war in Venezuela, Iran, North Korea.

I guess Bolton, who hasn't been right in 40 years, was the genius after all.

Trump has been bill clinton lite. He deserves some criticism here.

Are they actually being put on the ground or just being deployed to the area in case they're needed? Big difference. Seems more like a show of force.
