FWIW, we're there and if Trump pulls out before whatever is left of the government falls I'll be disappointed. It will feel like the job wasn't finished.

If Iran is allowed to reconstitute we'll be right back in 10 years.

Remember when we spent trillions of dollars and 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban in Afghanistan?



It seems to me what many people can't grasp is the kind of change they want doesn't come from military. In fact, these wars have the exact opposite effect and just creates more enemies and gives these leaders more support among the population - despite what the propaganda says.

As much as Biden was disliked, not a single person would have backed a country like Russia coming in and bombing him and his family. Those types of events create unity, not division. The entire country, left and right, would have hated Russia and we would consider them our #1 enemy and the biggest threat to our sovereignty. And guess who's going to win the next election? The guy who wants to do the most about Russia. The ones that stand up to the big evil or Russia gets the most support. Does anyone remotely give a frick what Russia says? Nope.

Taking out the military of these countries is not a hard thing to do. If it was, we wouldn't attack them to begin with. However, you can not change the people that government represents. You'll at best end up with someone EVEN worse for the reasons I list above. And history has shown this to be true over and over.

None of this is to the benefit of the US citizens.

The republican stance before being attacked at Pearl Harbor was one of non-intervention, as is the traditional conservative position.

It was democrats who pushed for war and got us involved in WW2.

Yeah, but I figure I'm dealing with an antisemitic dude who uses scripture to beat people over the head.

Regardless, I figured I'd flush out one of you demoniacs lurking on the periphery of TD.

Okay, let's review biblical description of God's love for His chosen people. God choose the Hebrews (aka Jews) as his own people. He then leads them out of bondage from under an "oppressive" Pharaoh and under the leadership of Moses guides them through the desert for 40 years.Eventually God led them into the Promised Land. A land "flowing with milk and honey" and occupied by several nations - including the Canaanites, along with Amorites, Hittites, Jebusites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Girgashites (Hint: these nations didn't like it either that their God handed possession of this land to these newbies). Observing God's actions in regards to this Promised Land acquisition - God tends to kick out the non-believers (aka enemy of Israel) and if they resist He (God) sends a strong leader to defeat them. Enter one Donald J. Trump.

You should grab the Bible you presume to lecture me on - and read Exodus. It's all there in black and white. (hint: thousands of Jews waundering in the desert year in and year out and always there's order and purpose - no small miracle)

Now reflect on this .......... the man sent by God (Donald Trump) is now engaged in the process of destroying Israel's sworn enemy and the No.1 sponsor of terrorism in the world - IRAN.

Now growl and gnash your teeth.

But be nice.

Trump 2026 - he took a bullet from an assassin sent by Iran

You seem to be missing a few thousand years of history here and the fact Israel wasn't created until 1948.

And are you trying to claim Trump is the Jewish Messiah?

Replace zionist with jew and that's what he really means.



You are using zionist as a blanket slur to dehumanize people.

You think all Jewish people are the same and support Zionism?

Seems racist.
