You seem to be under the impression that Iran did not have plans to control Hormuz at a point of its choosing in the future.

It was open before we started this conflict

This is a problem of our creation

Oh my Lord!
Here is another breaking news bit: Pearl Harbor was undamaged through December 6, 1941. So there should've been no worries there either.

Correct. Showing weakness to Tehran created this. That started when we rolled over like a bunch of bitches during the Iran Hostage Crisis under Carter.

Nice deflection. You said they weren’t a threat, which is obviously not true and I proved otherwise. Carry on dipshit.

You’re assuming we can remove the problem, because we haven’t so far and don’t seem to be any closer to doing so.

That was their plan if they were bombed. Attacked. So help me understand how this thought process runs to its conclusion.

Are you in favor of pre-emotive strikes all over the world because of potential threats in the future?

You’re going to draw a line somewhere?

How were they a threat to the United States in 2026?

I'm sure they can. They don't care about their people so it doesn't matter how hard things get for them.

If the Mullahs had gotten their nuke tipped missiles, they would own the World’s economy. And increased their proxy attacks on Israel. We know where that would go. Israel is ruthless and the Mullahs are religiously suicidal. “Blood up to the bridle of a horse “.

Trump made the only rational choice. The lesser of two evils.

The tough thing that he is going to have to swallow is there isn't much logic to this thing at all

Yep, the question is can we maintain this position while paying 5 dollars a gallon? I pay 5.67 a gallon because I get premium.

You have a TS/SCI, have been read-on to the relevant programs, and have seen the evidence therein to make such a statement?

Impressive.

Oh man.... How many times will people fall for the mushroom cloud fear. Iran was not a threat .. Trump made a decision likely based off Israel intelligence and made a move. I believe we thought it would happen fast. Iran has been a thorn in our side for decades this did not need to happen now..

It was crappy timing and hurt us..

So you have no evidence that they were a threat. That's what I thought.

Well we (the American people) have DNI Gabbard on record saying that there was no threat. Why is that?
