Never claimed that it was ok for Iran to have nuclear weapons. But it’s not like they stole the uranium from us and the ability to build them. Israel did that. Not only that, but they sold our nuclear secrets to the Soviets.

Trump kneaux he screwed up royally with this whole Israel -- US campaign vs Iran. If the MOU is a complete mess, remember it was the only graceful option left to put an end to this madness.

So more was spent on Somalis Learing Centers?

So in the end of we prevent Iran from getting nukes and corral their terrorist aims it’s a huge win.

But they did give us bad intel about weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East that led to us being there for 20+ years, trillions of dollars, and countless lives ruined. So that’s pretty awesome. Right Israel first cucks?
We were going into Afghanistan when they harbored OBL after 9/11 regardless of any external influence. Israel had nothing to do with Afghanistan.
Bush & co were chomping at the bit for another shot at saddam. Netanyahu wasn’t in government at the time, I’m not sure why he testified in front of Congress. Israel’s administration at the time (under pm Ariel Sharon) told bush not to go after Iraq, as it would destabilize the me and empower Iran.
The notion that we’ve spent this entire century fighting wars for Israel is laughable; it’s insinuating that the greatest and most powerful nation in history has zero agency.

Okay, but I was trying to find some reasonable and detailed sources, which I quoted, to give some idea of the use (waste) of our taxpayer dollars on this attack done for Israel. This is just the missiles/interceptors fired…so the overall cost will be far far greater. Surely you do not disagree with that?
If it is reasonable to assume many many billions of US taxpayer dollars was spent on this war,….then what does the US taxpayer get from that expense?

we're all grateful for your sudden interest and caring about taxpayer dollars.
I imagine you felt this same way during the first 6 months of the Biden admin re: PPP funding and the amount spent on Covid vaccines we were told would stop Covid right?
since I'm sure you did let me answer your question. So far the US taxpayer has "got" from this expense
a dead Ayathollah and 4 levels of top Iranian leadership.
a neutered Iran that we wanted for 47 years that now is not credibly capable of threatening the US, the region or the world. Nor are they able to fund their terror proxies who were operating throughout same.
Stay tuned for what else we "got/get" for it.
what did we "get" for the Learing Centers we funded in MN with our tax dollars?

I actually despise waste of US taxpayer dollars, and the Covid fraud was a great example of that, there never should have been a lockdown nor any PPP funding. You would have known that if you did any research, but that is evidently too much work for someone of your intellect.
Iran has never seriously threatened the US, there are numerous other countries where leaders make threats against the US and never do anything,….Iran is the same. So what did we “get” for this war,….nothing.
Israel wanted this war, their leader cajoled and bribed US politicians until he got the USA to attack Iran.
As far as the “Learing” centers, those are a joke too, enormous waste of our taxpayer dollars.

So the reasons that you laid out are justified reasons for us having spent 20+ years there, trillions of dollars, and countless lives ruined? Meanwhile they did give us the bad intel that there were weapons of mass destruction. That’s not debatable. It was used as the primary justification to invade Iraq in 2003. Why is this being ignored? Never mind the fact that while our soldiers were over there in Israel’s back yard they did not on any occasion fight along side our soldiers, nor offer aid to them when they needed help. Also worth noting is the fact that all of the Muslims that were displaced by these wars were placed into not the surrounding countries, but in predominantly white/Christian countries. Why is that?

I already told you what we got. So far.
You ignored it, spouted some bullshite about how you hate govt waste while deciding this 11.06B is the most important “waste” you need to complain about today, and then restated your position that we got nothing.
I get it. You don’t really want to engage you’re just here to state we got nothing. Carry on then.
As far as Iran never seriously threatened the US
1) you’re full of shite
2) this isn’t the only criteria we use when determining threats in the world and never has been. It’s just another weak argument you’ve decided to make to support your position we for nothing.

I didn’t justify anything, I countered the notion that we’re fighting wars for Israel. You didn’t refute my point, you’re making a different argument. Blaming Islamic migration & refugees as some grand Israeli conspiracy is imbecilic.

The Israelis are ten times the fraudsters that the Somalis in Minnesota are.
The federal governemnt spends almost $20 billion per day, with projections from Doge estimating a full quarter of that being fraud, waste, and abuse. For the math challenged, that's $35 billion in grift per week.

My reply was this is nothing, let me help you in your ignorance. These leaders killed have no effect on daily life in the USA,….none. If I am wrong about that then give me some proof.
You make wild statements about terrorists, so,….which terrorists have attacked the USA? if you did any research you would find that not a single terrorist from Iran attacked the USA until we attacked them. Israel and Saudi Arabia have done more damage to the USA in the last 50 years.
If you are just going to say, “you’re full of shite” again, please save it. These types of comments are the refuge of fools that really do not have a clue.

You know someone is a drooling idiot when they use the word "free" with regard to healthcare.
