re: The Iran War was such a huge mistake by Trump

It was the biggest mistake he's made in both terms. If wants to win it, we could win it. If he wants to just dick around over there, then we can lose it.

I still don't understand why he did it. Was it to please the MIC? Did he not know any history of wars in the middle east in the last 50 years?

Right now, I kind of feel like he wants to lose it. Like he said "I think we should start a war and lose it." Did he want this? Is that the mission?

Have you paid attention, at all, to the damage Iran has done to surrounding states?

Now imagine if Trump had sat back and allowed them to get nukes

Do you people ever get tired of crying? And do you think this is an original thought?

I think your post was a huge mistake.

The media reports may be fake news, but it's consistently been said Caine, Tulsi, and JD were the dissenters/skeptics.

Every military operation like this has teams of advisors giving pros and cons, best case/worse case scenarios.

Whoever the president is at the time has to weigh both sides and make decisions.

Wrong. To wait until Iran developed nuclear weapons or import them from Russia, China or Pakistan would have been a catastrophic mistake.
You have to realize that Iran is led by radical Muslims who have a publicly stated goal of destroying Israel and frankly all infidels who do not convert to Islam. An Islam has already successfully invaded Europe and they have made serious inroads into the U.S.
Stop them now or it will be too late later after kicking the can down the road and ignoring the obvious.
The Muslim nation has no intention of co-existing. To think otherwise is to become a useful idiot.

And so unforced. Originally ran on America first and not getting bogged down in these never ending overseas conflicts. Caused gas prices to go sky high before the midterms. These diesel prices are going to send prices on everything else higher. Just all so dumb.

I think the timing was inexplicable and inexcusable but I have no doubt this clash between the West and Islam was inevitable.

Trump should have been laser focused on domestic policies and making sure the Rs retained control of Congress but somebody convinced Trump the most important item on his Trump 2.0 agenda was getting entangled in another ME shite show. Very interesting times living we're in, it's like there is a spirit of chaos and confusion permeating the collective being of the US.

It was like a heat check in basketball. Midnight Hammer, abducting Maduro at night. Trump probably thought our military could do anything at that point.

Bibi is cunning and lied to Trump. There are also reports that Israeli intelligence, which has its own quarters at the Pentagon--there are reports that they walk around like a bunch of snobs who know better than everyone else.

Trump listened to Bibi and Israeli intel when he should have told them to pound sand. They might not have even had the balls to do it without Big Daddy America to back them up.

Great for Israel, not great for America. And all of a sudden Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro were the voice of MAGA? Terrible look.

Most of all Trump should have waited until after the midterms if he was determined to do it regardless. 40 years and we couldn't wait another few months, especially after Midnight Hammer? No one is buying that, it's another Iraq WMDs lie.

The only silver lining is that all this might screw China more than it screws us. Otherwise it's the Israel tail wagging the dog.

All that said, Trump will always be ten million times better than what would have happed if Kamala had won. We are stacking real wins every day on things that matter. Shame that it's overshadowed by Iran.

Lastly, Democrats were on the ropes before Iran, and somehow just like always, we've given them life right when they looked like they might be dead for good.
