they are needed if you want to totally defeat another nation into submission. As you’re seeing with Iran, the Air Force and Navy can’t force regime change and occupy a country until a transition plan is set up. should only be used in World War type situations.
the other use case is to defend the homeland. no matter how much technology advances, occupying land is the only way to preserve sovereignty.

re: Imagine if the GOP nuked the filibuster and Trump never went to war with Iran

I agree with your comment fully, BUT sooner or later the radical ragheads in IRAN were going to ruin things
That’s what Midnight Hammer was for. Set back their nuclear program and if they try to rebuild, do it again. We didn’t need Epic Fury.
Also, I highly doubt Iran would preemptively nuke somebody, including Israel. They know it would result in nuclear destruction of their own country and they are not that stupid. The nuclear threat is propaganda fueled by Israel and the military industrial complex, in my opinion.
Nobody here is “panicking”. My cortisol levels are perfectly fine.
The ceasefire is fragile at best and Iran decides who goes through the Strait and how much they pay. Israel is still bombing Lebanon and has shown zero willingness to let this war die.
I would be shocked if gas is below $3 this summer. can’t wait to revisit this post.
but keep pretending like we Art of the Deal’d our way out of this situation!

So we can get rid of the 20+ million illegals?
We don’t need Congress to deport illlegals. The laws already exist - it’s a matter of will and Trump showed he doesn’t have the will to mass deport after how he handled Minneapolis.

If the people vote for a Dem controlled House, Senate, and White House, then it’s the will of the people and we deserve the consequences. The Founders never wrote a 60 vote threshold into the Constitution, what do you have to say about their intellectual maturity?
My advice - stop being so scared about the what ifs. If a policy is passed and it’s super unpopular, you can vote in a new Congress to repeal it.

We could have nationwide voter ID, the great healthcare plan, an economy ready to take off like a rocket ship with inflation down to 2.4% in Jan and gas prices down to a $2.81 average. America’s 250th birthday this summer while we host the World Cup. We could focus on fraud and reduce our deficit-to-GDP because we wouldn’t need a trillion dollar plus pentagon budget. We’d still have the successes of Venezuela and Midnight Hammer to show the world we are to be taken seriously again.
But no, the GOP is spineless and Israel coerced us into another conflict in the Middle East. Such is life.

yeah because the IRGC is wiped out and the Strait of Hormuz has safe passage. If only it was as simple as you think it is!

I agree to an extent, but people can give their foresight. The world would be a lot more boring and dumber if we all withheld our opinions on things until they became history.

You seem open to discussion ……
I am open to discussion. I completely agree that Iran is a problem and has been a thorn in our side for 47 years. However, I don’t think it justifies this war.
I’m fine with precision attacks on nuclear infrastructure if we think they are getting close to a bomb. But the magnitude of this operation creates regional instability while not achieving regime change. it also affects global energy prices, not to mention 13 service members died. congrats, their military is set back 10-15 years, is that really worth it?

0.) Decapitate leadership 1.) Suppression of air defenses 2.) Take out key military assets 3.) Seize strategic points. < We are here.
1. decapitate leadership only to be replaced by virtually the same leadership
2. the plan didn’t account for Iran’s ability to shut down the Strait. we would be out of there by now if the oil was flowing.

No, they were not an imminent threat to the US. Please spare me the bullshite about how they’ve been killing Americans for 47 years. I don’t like Iran as much as the next guy, but there was absolutely no need to start this war.
Now, Trump has put himself in a difficult situation of whether or not to follow through on his threats. Totally manufactured by him. What are we doing here? What happened to America First?
I’ve defended Trump through a lot, but I think Iran is his fatal mistake. Venezuela and Operation Midnight Hammer made him overconfident with military ops.

Just take over kharg island, forcible open the strait
if we could “open” the strait, we would have done so by now.
no matter how much we send them into the stone age, Iran will be able to fire off a drone or two and disrupt global energy prices. hell, they were somehow able to shoot down one of our planes.
just admit it - Trump under-estimated the IRGC’s ability to hold on and create counter-problems. i’m starting to see a pattern in this region, maybe we should stop fighting wars over there?

Kash’s girlfriend says he is part of a foreign influence op now. Who do we believe?
the timing of the events makes me believe they are related. Flynn was probably asking for too much, got fed up with the DOJ so started attacking them (smear campaign against Kash’s wife), Kash’s wife catches on and exposes him, Flynn loses his leverage and accepts the lowball offer.
re: Israel announces siezure of land that's part of the "Greater Israel" plan

My little personal theory is that part of the reason Netanyahu (other Israeli politicians like Bennett or Lapid wouldn't IMO) is doing all this is because he knows the clock is running on US support being as unconditional as it is.
agreed. the other part of it is Netanyahu realizing his age and finite time in power. this is his whole life’s work finally coming to fruition.

To the victor goes the spoils.
that’s fine but you better be prepared to defend yourself on your own. Israel is emboldened because they know the US has their back.
I would tell Israel - if you want to grab land and bomb other countries, you should face the consequences/blowback alone.
I think the reason we’re not seeing a revolution is because they don’t have the arms to do it and the IRGC/Basij will not hesitate to shoot.
It’s not because the people are taking safety precautions. People on this board keep saying that because they can’t face reality. Revolutions are bloody and require an armed resistance. I have yet to see an armed resistance in Iran.
