See if you can find a common thread between Blinken, Nuland, Mayorkas, Garland, Haines, and Klain.

What does that have to do with the assertion that you have only one speed/gear, the “Trump failed again” one? And I really ain’t trying to be insulting with that at all. It’s just the reality of the situation. What that ends up doing is robbing you of the possibility of credibility in your own assertions. Nor am I insinuating that this is a permanent handicap - it’s fixable.

It's hilarious to me that if anyone else—ANYONE else—had done this, the board would be boiling calling them a Deep State Globalist and claiming that they were starting a war for profit.


The shifts are incredible. Kind of mind blowing how quickly they evolve.

Not me. I would actually have gained some respect for the Biden admin.

It needed to be done more so back then.

They are likely using the Triton (operating off the coast in international waters) as a warning to Iran that we are watching them closely over how they may aid the Houthis while we conduct our operations there.

Those who try to tie Iran & Co. to the Iraq war are linking the wrong wars. Iraq was not directly attacking us, they were not going for WOMD, and they were not blockading international shipping routes

This is more like Afghan, where Iran has been sponsoring global terror for decades. Unlike in Iraq or Afghan, we also know that Iran has been working towards procuring a bomb and has the means to do so

If Iran backs down, they will not be attacked. If Iran decides they want their world to get rocked, the ball is on their court

going to War with Iran would be inflationary and make it harder for him to accomplish his domestic Economic goals and just add to the chaos narrative that the Democrats are trying to manufacturer now

I know this is probably a shocker to you and hankie aggie, but peace through strength is not sending pallets of cash and letting jihadis do whatever the hell they want

Strength is defining the redlines, and acting on them if crossed to maintain deterrence. Something President Hussein was also known for not comprehending

I was friends with some really hot looking Iranian girls at LSU back in the 70s. And they were sweet as can be.

We should have just voted for Nikki or Ron then if we wanted neocon foreign policy. The entire point of Trump was not to get involved in this garbage.

I wonder under what circumstances you would acknowledge that military “intervention” ie American military action in any foreign land would be justifiable? Can you give a couple of examples, if there are any, of that so we can sorta gauge where exactly you stand.

We bombed their hearts and minds with kindness.

If CNN is ignored this time, we'll be OK.

When Trump took out Soleimani, Iran did nothing. Under Obama and Biden, hell broke loose all over the world

Not getting further involved in Ukraine, Sudan or any of that shite is what I voted for. You would have to have your head in the sand to think a country that holds death to america rallies and calls us Great Satan isnt a potential flashpoint when they are capable of creating a nuclear weapon

If we strike their nuclear facilities, my money is on Iran retreating and backing down
