The time to have accomplished this regime change was when Reagan assumed the office. He and other presidents did nothing for 45 years and allowed this build up of terroristic muslim bullshite to occur.

Exactly. Make them suffer until they get tired of suffering. Kill them until they get tired of dying. It’s how the US beat the British. It’s how the north beat the south. It’s how the USA beat Germany and Japan. It’s how you win wars. Unfortunately, leftists and never Trumpers only know how to lose wars. Thats why normal men see them as cucks. Just check out this thread. The entire theme is “what if we lose?” Reminds me of pussy OU fans who wanted to stay in the B12to get easier wins.



I come from a family with a long heritage in the Army including my own generation with me serving 6 and my brother becoming an officer. We are mostly a pro-peace type of family. When your own blood is apt to end up in a war zone, you tend to be in favor of peace. However, it was a common refrain from my father and grandfather that if we're going to fight a war then we should fight a war with the gloves off. You fight to win and winning is going to be ugly.

Americans deceive themselves when they think any old opponent is going to bow out because of shock and awe. Just think about if it were in reverse. Do you think most Americans would be ready to bend the knee because China dropped some bombs or would we make them fight to control every god forsaken square mile of desert, mountains, plains, forests, and swamplands on this continent the hard way? I think domestic political divides would close quickly in that situation too.

I have to imagine Iranians feel the same. So it leaves you with very few clean, respectable ways to win the war. Right now our administration has got to decide whether they're fighting to win or just fighting to burn stock so the MIC can get new orders. However fighting to win has a real geopolitcal prestige/trust cost that our leadership have to weigh too. If we do what we have to do to win in Iran, it will be called war crimes by many. It will possibly steel the resolve of our next pariah state to fight to the last man. You want to pave your enemy's retreat/surrender in gold if you can help it. Once you essentially declare that you will starve and deprive their entire population like a siege, it can lead to more proactive and significant actions by our enemies in the future.

Selfishly, I'd rather my brother not get air dropped into a bleeding ulcer situation that we try to handle like Afghanistan and Iraq but worse because there is an even more radicalized element within their population. So I'm hoping they play the "decisively win through air superiority" hand and keep ground troops out of that quagmire of an occupation.

We targeted the leaders of a terrorist regime that has orchestrated attacks across the world for decades, and just weeks before, murdered tens of thousands of unarmed protestors. If you are saying we are the "bad guys" in this, it is because you have an agenda.


Sure but at some point (bombing civilian infrastructure) you are causing way more harm than providing assistance to the people you claim to be wanting to help

If they are truly oppressed by the Mullahs, I think the opposite applies.

Oddly, that’s not the case.

People organize and figure out how to survive. These are goat herders. Form tribes and work it out. I’d rather see us arm the population, then sit back and see whether or not they are serious about this.

Israel needs to spend its time locating tunnel entrances. Get into those tunnels, the game is over. Without drones or missiles the Reveltionary Guard is finished.

War is hell!
Maybe they should rise up and take control. If not suffer obliteration. We should take note and do the same here before we lose our great country also. MIGA.

By comparison our pain tolerance is probably a 2.

That's being pretty generous.

We're the most free nation on earth. We have some of the most employment opportunities on the planet. We have among the lowest gas prices. We have an overwhelming surplus of food. We have a wide variety of Healthcare options and some of the best doctors.

But half the country is melting because of tweets, because they think men should use the same bathroom as little girls, and because they don't believe in borders or national sovereignty.

Our pain tolerance is a 0.5.

When a Newsom/AOC ticket is in office in 2029 because of panicans and masochistic hyper-prog stooges, we're going to feel REAL pain. And people won't be able to handle it. And they'll still blame it on- you guessed it!- those darned Republicans!

I ask a legitimate question, per usual, and the refrain from the usual suspects is always insults, never answers.

If there is an answer, it’s kill them all.

It’s like we haven’t failed at this exact thing multiple times in the last two decades.

We either have left wing moonbats on here or head in the sand MAGA dick suckers.

It’s impossible to have rational dialogue.

What answers were you anticipating? No one knows what will happen next, not even the people who will decide what happens next. Maybe Israel knows?

My answer was actually legitimate and correct. The POTUS will pop off on social media, just like the unhinged "leftists" tweets that are re-posted here ad nauseum.

We're not even clear on what the objective of this military operation is so how can we know where it is heading?

Do you really think half the country cares about bathrooms or the border? Honestly?

I think the average poster here is very privileged and sheltered. People are trying to survive. They are focused on what is in front of them, like an empty gas tank or pantry.

Tough to know. But I can't imagine harming the few civilians that are on our side would help our case for them to rise up and overthrow the government
