WHEW. That's a relief!! I'm so glad they can't do anything to us. I was worried there for minute


Iran is a threat to Israel and others in that region. They are of zero threat to us and are inept as hell and likely couldn't/can't carry out most of their threats against their neighbors.

Ditto. But, riddle me this. If Iran is not pursuing a nuke, why spend all the money to build Fordow? If you only want nuclear power, which takes 3-4% enriched uranium???

Based on available info, this is a good opportunity to KO Iran’s nuclear ability without having to commit ground forces to the fight, do any nation-building, etc. It’s probably wise to take that opportunity rather than wait on Iran to get its shite back together or press for a higher degree of nuclear capability.


This is where I’m at too. I don’t want to be involved with this either but I doubt Iran is going to take us off the shite list just because we don’t actively participate at this point.

Of all the shite we’ve been involved with in the ME Iran is probably the most deserving as they’ve been fricking with everyone either directly or via proxy since the Carter era. Supporting Hamas and the Houthis doesn’t help and their insistence on getting a nuclear weapon have put them in the bullseye.

How can YOU be so naive?
I addressed this in the OP

quote:

Your OP is a beautiful piece of fear-mongering propaganda
What about it was false? NO ONE has bothered to address the fact of Islamic terrorism

quote:

fear-mongering propaganda has been used to erode protections of our rights
You are talking about an EFFECT of the situation. Not the CAUSE - Islamic terrorism

quote:

We meddle in other countries' internal affairs, we demand other countries acquiescence to our economic model, and we foment revolution and sponsor terrorism when our national security interests (really our national corporate interests) are threatened.
What does this have to do with a centuries' old religious belief? Nothing

quote:

They are trying to protect their people from the sinfulness that we require of other nations
Oh my word here it is again. Those poor desert terrorists. If only we gave them jobs and water. They would stop attacking the infidels like they've done for several hundred years.

It's like a portion of our country has become brainwashed

I'll say this again, the khawarij mentality attacks ANYTHING that doesn't conform. This has been a debate raging in Islam for CENTURIES. They have no qualms with attacking Muslims who resist. If they are willing to kill Muslims, they certainly have no problem killing infidels. They hate moderate, peaceful Muslims just as much as they hate you. You will never negotiate with them. You will never convert them. You will never pacify them. You will never reason with them. They are not "nuanced." They are not an effect of the modern west. Until people understand this, they will always say the stupid things that are being said itt

You missed a few pieces again. You must be holding a baby or something. Here's the entire post you're attempting to respond to. Thanks again for the opportunity to clarify...



"Well I'm not apologizing for jackshit. I don't apologize for an opinion, but in no uncertain terms, I'll gladly admit I was wrong. Gladly.

I voted for him for two reasons. Close the border and keep us out of war for a four year period. If he does those two things, he's met my expectations"

You realize why terrorist attacks matter in regards to the Iran conflict, right?

Of course not, you're about to launch into 50 pages of bullcrap to skirt the issue. Because you have Asperger's

You either fight these fights on American soil or abroad. You don't get the option of "staying out of it." Eventually, these conflicts will reach domestic shores if we are passive


What are you going to say when this iteration of the conflict ends in a “deal” with these terrorists?

You’ve identified a problem. Based on recent experience or just instinct, many people think toppling a government of 90 million people will make the problem you’ve identified worse. And nearly all people don’t think eliminating 90 million people is an option for this problem.

Attempting a sky coup in Iran in 2025 because of terrorism is truly idiotic.

Israel is responsible for defending themselves.
I don’t see any obvious imminent threat to the US and most would agree there is none.

What is happening is that Israel is asking for us to get involved in their threat from Iran.

All we should be considering is sales of weaponry to Israel

And fwiw- Russia, North Korea, Pakistani and maybe a few other problem countries have Nukes yet we don’t do anything to them…north Korea is a very serious wild card too.

Not holding one, but do seem to be conversing with one.

So again, he's too much of a coward to apologize. Seems to be a big deal to you, but not so to me. I'd never expect more from a coward. Please resume mating yourself.

like i said, im good using the bunker busters and bombing them so long as its not boots on the ground

my point was more the BS the OP was spouting and calling everyone naive. we have heard everything he is spouting about previous conflicts.


if we want to bomb and take out the facilities and even take out the regime...im ok with it, i actually trust trump on this one. but if they want boots on the ground, imo they should have to declare war, get a vote of yes by congress just like the constitution says.

Ramzi bin al shibh ring a bell? He is from Yemen which is heavily funded by Iran. He has been connected to several terrorist attacks on the US
