Maybe...but more likely you are wish-casting.
We bombed their country at the urging of Israel. Not sure a lot of Iranians are going to be down with that even if they don't like the current regime.

Ugh.
This is the tough ugly part.
We can take the setback of Iranian capabilities as a win and Iran just bides their time. Eventually they rebuild and come after us.
Or
Regime change (preferable done by fostering a rebellion led by the people of Iran) with all the risk and messiness that involves.
Or troops on the ground. But that is the worst, most insane option.

So we are giving Israel support (weapons, logistics, etc)…like every president since the creation of Israel has done.
I’m not knocking him, but enough with the 4-d underwater hyper-dimensional chess.

A law, written by lawyers, is challenged by lawyers, who bill by the hour.
It’s makes its way through courts, manned by lawyers.
After awhile, it’ll be thrown out by lawyers, then rewritten by lawyers.
Lawyers all getting paid.
I love to blame lawyers, but this is really on politicians trying to rouse their base. I guess Landry is a lawyer, but I don't think that is the core issue here.

What tactic are you talking about?
Standing by and watching Israel do Israel things?
Don’t get me wrong, I think his support of Israel while pushing for a negotiated settlement is the right move. But he isn’t the prime mover in this situation.

Except in an election, you have an opponent. It is possible that a group of people disapproved of Trump, but disliked Kamala even more.
re: Your honest opinion: Does the US see an attack on US soil with all of this?
Posted by BigJim on 6/17/25 at 9:25 pm
Yes, but more like some kind of radicalized nut job who acts alone but identifies with one of the terrorist groups and/or Iran or Gaza.
But that could happen anyway.

Well this would ruin his legacy for ever.
What is the "this" you are worried about?
Invading Iran? I doubt that happens.
Giving political cover to Israel? Probably will happen (kinda is already), but people won't really care.
US Missile strikes? I doubt it, but even so, limited strikes probably won't move the needle on US perception of Trump.

To be fair, had we just overthrown Saddam and bailed out, there wouldn't have been many Americans killed at all.
The problem wasn't the invasion itself, the problem started when we tried to rebuild the nation.
Likewise, with Iran, we could overthrow the current regime with little to no loss of American life. There's really no need for ground troops at all, outside of maybe some special operations.
So then just a failed state like Yemen? I could see how that how that’s an improvement over an active promoter of terror, but can also see how that’s much worse: Afghanistan, Yemen etc….

So? He also said the White House would directly fund aid recovery.
He also said the states should pay for it.
He says lots of stuff. You have to watch what he does:
Trump denies disaster aid, tells states to do more
quote:
Under President Donald Trump, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied federal assistance for tornadoes in Arkansas, flooding in West Virginia and a windstorm in Washington state. It also has refused North Carolina’s request for extended relief funding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Most of the problems with FEMA's slow response comes trying to prevent fraud. Lot's of people try to scam the system.
Now ask yourself, do you really think states, particularly Louisiana, will do a better job of fighting fraud?
re: LA's 2025 legislative session ends with Gov Landry saying he plans to call special session
Posted by BigJim on 6/13/25 at 11:58 am
It's insulting.
My hope is that this leads to anger and energizes the public.
My fear is that the public apathetically shrugs it off as "just another day at the legislature.
