You sure about that?

The only way a distant war makes sense, is if you play for keeps. Which is the way god intended it to be.

If we take it, we can call it New Jersey. We can rename the other one.

If we back other nations, (air support, logistics, etc) they get to keep it but we get 25% and our strategic petroleum reserve filled and topped off for 150 years for free.

Oh yeah. Much better scenario. :banghead:

They’ve been saying Iran was close to a bomb for YEARS. Think about that.

This argument is too often accepted as evidence that there was not going to be a nuclear armed terrorist state.

Yes, Iran has gotten close to building nukes before. And each time they were stopped with military force. (And one major cyberattack)

They aren’t as retarded as they look. They have been digging deeper and deeper into their granite mountains to better protect their weapons programs.

After Epic Hammer, they told US negotiators they would not give up diplomatically what could not be taken militarily. They boasted about having enough material for 11 nukes.

This leaves us with two options. Handle the problem now, or wait while the problem gets worse. I guess we could have given them another hard slap but that’s the same as kicking the can down the road.

For decades Washington has decided to kick the can down the road.

People always point out turning points in history. How about waking up to news that Israel was incinerated and Iran will 100% gatekeep the Persian gulf. No US or US friendly ships can do business in the Middle East. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I think he is capable of doing very good work.

Too many people follow or get caught up in the cycle of retardation, or flavor of the day, mindless drivel floating around. Most will never even recognize that it exists.

Something I heard recently really drove this concept home for me. When at the Teddy Roosevelt thing, President Trump said something to the effect of ‘you could learn a lot from Teddy Roosevelt, and there are not many people you could learn a lot from’.

Tremendous wisdom in such a simple statement.

Good Mexican crews aren’t cheap. They haven’t been cheap for the past 30 years.

A lot of these crews travel doing massive projects. You aren’t going to find American guys who will travel city to city, staying 2 in a hotel room, for year after year.

They literally have signs telling you to “use both lanes” etc, in the north.

In the south most people merge at the first sign, even if it says “construction in 300 miles”.

Either way works, if everyone is on the same page.

Too many halftards trying their hardest to obfuscate the issue.

At least 80% of Americans want voter ID.

It’s time to secure our elections.

Surely you recognize the difference between places like Albania and places like Somalia.

And I don’t completely disagree with your point, especially on the personal freedom aspect of sharia type beliefs. But, it’s likely the 2nd and 3rd generations will be less inclined to adhere to such strict religious laws.

Anyway, even if this will become a fight that needs to happen, it will be pretty far down the road. Creating conditions for a far less radical Middle East is a great foundation for any future peace.
