I’m pro-Trump, but I can recognize a potential mis-step when I see one.

Just anti Trump


No, I don't worship Trump nor do I agree with every single thing he says or does. That doesn't make me a 'leftist' or mean I support leftist policies or politicians. It's extremely low IQ to use that kind of logic.

This is the most important part of this article that's conveniently being omitted from the leftist posts such as the OP. The intent being to present this as a slam on Trump.

The US bears no responsibility for helping Europe get their oil if they can't even be bothered to let us use their airspace or bases to secure victory over Iran. US should pull out of NATO tomorrow and watch it collapse.

Creating messes?
Are you just waking up. Obama gave a country who's people chant death to America death to Israel every day for 40 years a 150 billion dollars. That's a mess. Go back to crayons.

Yes, that was also really really dumb. That doesn’t make what has currently been happening any less dumb.

Worked for an EU company right here in south Louisiana. Watched them go woke. Expressed my concern and got a package deal. Love seeing this today


You sound dumb. By the way, “wokeness” is a U.S. export.

I get this sentiment but the U.S. started the conflict and did so without alerting anyone in NATO apparently, despite the weeks of build up.

They’re now trying to cut deals to get oil.

Also, of note, Hegseth said "regime change has occurred in Iran." No shite they've killed everyone and then the ones after that.

Nice word play in an attempt to wrap this up before Donnie's approval ratings sink even lower.


Just want to clarify here. Are you upset that regime change has occurred? Dear Lord, that had to be objective #1.

Are you upset that the sick, murdering, radical Islamic leaders were taken out in succession? That was kinda necessary for the above to happen.

Are you upset that Donnie’s approval ratings may go up? Well, I don’t really pay attention to those easily manipulated polls, anyway.

Regime change hasn't occurred, though.

I think that was the overriding point. That's why he called it "word play".

I called it clown shoes (in gif form)

Even if this is true, who cares? We don't have to ask Europe's permission to take military action. We're also not asking for their manpower, just safe passage through airspace and potentially using a few military bases to make things easier on us.

They've rebuffed every request, which is their prerogative. It's also our prerogative to tell them to go shite in their hat when they ask for our help to secure safe passage for their oil.

Sure, but the discussion isn't about that. The discussion was about the impacts of our choice to go to war with Iran and the negative externalities that we're making other counties deal with as a result of that unilateral choice.

The fact that y'all don't see the issue with this just shows how emotionally compromised you are and your irrationality towards our allies.

For example, there isn't a baw on here who when it comes down to it would chop someones head off or castrate or mutilate someones genitals - we are too civilized of a people to do that.




I think you'd be surprised. There are many that will do horrific things now as long as it can be justified in some way and many more that will do so readily as soon as the veil of civilization drops.

Am I going crazy?

We’ve been asking for an international coalition to help open the strait with force.

They’ve decided they want no part in the operation and are going to make bilateral deals instead.

I thought that I had missed something, since it was stated as fact. Again, attempting to discern truth from media/social media.

So what - do you demand perfection to everyone's personal analysis in order to try correct a danger that was initiated by an overwhelmingly determined idiotic decision by Obama?

He stated that they've killed a bunch of people.

Meat suits =/= the regime.

It appears the IRGC is fully in control, too, per the thread/report from last night. That's not a positive development.
