    I posted this 10 days after we bombed Iran. Who could have seen this coming.

    It's infuriating that a random dude on a basketball forum posting in sweatpants has a better understanding of history and geopolitics than the current presidential administration.

    Vance: Israel should not attack its only powerful ally left, must abide by peace in Lebanon
    Vance emphasized that if Iran doesn't change its behavior, it won't "get the benefit of the bargain," of the newly signed MoU.

    If the Strait wasn't going to be important why in the world would your cult leader give Iran immediate sanction relief worth tens of billions just so we could secure passageway in the Strait lol

    It's absolutely wild this dude is calling others a moron when he's dumber than a bag of rocks

    How do they know it isn't intentional? Heck, how do we know it wasn't intentional? The US helped overthrow Iran's democracy over oil. Pretty sure that was intentional. We helped supply and train the eventual Taliban. That was intentional. Hell, we sold guns to Iran so we could use the money to fund terrorists in Central America. We have lots of blood on our hands (every country that has ever been a world power does). We just mostly ignore it and move on with our lives because we can. We have that luxury.

    And when we decide on dropping bombs, I think we better make 100% sure we've double checked the intel. But nobody will actually hold us accountable, nor will the people in charge be held accountable by us. We'll have a little Congressional investigation, it will be a temporary distraction and then poof into the ether of nobody giving a damn.

    This is why when folks like you claim Iran didn't agree to zero enrichment pre war gives fuels to these cultists. The Oman foreign minister already verified that Iran agreed to iaea inspectors and us inspectors to ensure they wouldnt stockpile. The Iranians verified

    How many American children lost their lives due to October 7th? It was a terrible tragedy for Israel, and even though I don't want them to be at war, I can understand why they would go to war against Hamas and Iran.

    Murdering their children does nothing to protect our children. I'd argue, quite the opposite.

    Arguments are based on reasons, logic, and facts, not politics.

    I already replied to this. Show me where Iran actually agreed to zero stockpiling. Zero stockpiling means that there will never be any nuclear material (even non-weapon-grade) in Iran. I haven't seen it.

    You and I. You talk about Never Trumpers and MAGA. I only talked about Never Trumpers. I already knew some MAGA are against the war, so I didn't push back on that. What I pushed back on is that Never Trumpers were happy about this war.

    The simple facts are some Never Trumpers are against this war from the start, and others are against it because they believe Trump hasn't had a clue what he's doing. Thus, the claim that Never Trumpers are "happy" about this war is simply incorrect.

    So this person since day one has admittedly been a clown, and his only objection to Trump is only that we aren't going to deeply cement ourselves into some horrific, insanely costly, illegitimate war that doesn't serve American interest.


    No thanks.

    This thing has been a catastrophe, Trump deciding to bail isn't the part to disagree with.

    Considering america/isreal arguably have the best intel system in the world, outdate intel/maps seems to be a popular excuse when **** goes wrong lol...

    The oman FP was the designated mediator in talks. You sound ridiculous. Oman was designated by both Trump and Iran to mediate their issues before the war. They arent just random country. Why in the hell would we not believe the designated mediator when both sides chose them to negotiate? Dropsite news also confirmed it

    Your entire argument is, "the designated mediator is lying even though nobody has disputed what he says" lolll

    I'm totally in favor of your last sentence and the world would be a better place if we finished them off. If Trump wasn't willing to finish them off and reset the ME then we shouldn't have gone over there to begin with, unless they truly were real close to getting a nuke. Which it looks like they were.

    Would the world be a better place without Iran on the map? Would sending them into the stone age save lives of innocent people?

    The world would be a worse place if 93 million people were suddenly "off the map"

    All 20 intel agencies said they weren’t but because your emotions and feelings tell you otherwise the whole world needs to pay
