    Wow

    Pete managed to keep it in his pants for this one.

    So it's glorifying for us to go bomb a country hat poses no threat to us after Israel has already taken out their air defenses ?

    Plus Iran does not want to provoke us further . I don't think the international community is going to sanction us . In fact with the tariffs we have already started decoupling from the international system (or yelled about it )

    The USA has and had had for at least the last 30 years the ability to take on basically any country they wanted to and win an overwhelming military victory.

    We could also stop any country in Africa from getting a nuclear weapon ... Or we could at least bomb them

    What has made the US stable and powerful has been our restraint. (I know ) We don't even do that too well.

    In the scheme of things , I feel all we have done is open ourselves even more to being torn apart.

    There are already protests and masked "agents" patrolling the streets looking for people that look a certain way. Any one of our adversaries had to be kicking their chops right now . China or Russia could very easily just add a little more fuel , maybe pay some arabs or Africans to do a little terror in the US in the name of Iran retaliation and the top blows off.

    Maybe that's too negative of an outlook and Iran will roll over and die . Maybe just maybe for the first time ever there will be a successful regime change operation with no blowback .

    I find the negative outcome more likely . The temp is too hot in this country right now . In the past people cooled down because the quality of life was good and the govt has built up trust . There wasn't as much social media and general level of engagement .

    Throw in the fact that it's Jews / Christians / Israel / nukes / trump

    There's too much on the table for ppl to just be chill imo

    Vance: 'We're not at war with Iran, just their nuclear program.'

    Try that logic reversed: China bombs US AI facilities claiming they're 'not at war with America, just our AI program.'

    These guys clearly want this to be isolated, limited, and contained. I hope that's the case, but if this is their logic, they failed Logic 101.

    It's been clear to many for a long time--and should be dawning on everyone--that MAGA/Conservatism/America First is nothing more than shifting sands dependent on whatever one guy who is unconstitutionally fit for the highest office spews or types at any particular hour. Yet so many will grovel and twist their way to support it even it means a U-turn form what they were supporting just minutes earlier. The talking points are out and being repeated ad nauseum:

    "We are not at war with Iran."
    The nation we just bombed might differ on that point.

    "Trust the President."
    Anyone fully trusting any president is a fool.

    "Trust us."
    But you lie all the time and most of you are craven sycophants.

    "Trust our instincts."
    None of you have enough experience or intelligence for us to take that leap.

    "The intelligence supported the bombing."
    No, it did not.

    "It totally destroyed those places."
    No, it did not.

    "It's not about regime change."
    Well, Israel thinks it is and if when Iran strikes back, it will inevitably push the public conversation towards regime change, which is impossible without boots on the ground and even then highly improbable.

    "This was not the start of a war, it was the ending of a war."
    People who forecast the future, especially where war is concerned, are absolute fools. Again, Iran gets a vote--they are not a passive spectator here. Also, others with sympathies to Iran and/or antagonisms towards the US get a vote too.

    "This was within the President's authority."
    No, it was not.

    Unfortunately we are witnessing the decline of an empire . Prioritizing foreign interests over your own citizens. declining prosperity, growing debt. Erosion of trust worldwide

    China will overtake us in the next 2 decades.

    Again, Trump and Co's rally cry was "preventing World War III". Yet, here he is, here we are now.

    Time for the US to recognise the Hague and hope they deal with Trump, his minions, and the billionaires involved. The GOP and senate have failed to avert a constitutional crisis.

    Iran requires Parliamentary vote, Security Council review, and Supreme Leader approval to close the Strait of Hormuz. The US needs none of that to bomb their nuclear program. Who are we?

    Thanks captain obvious. We have only been saying that for a decade now. Maybe we need Biden back to restore this country back to its glory

    I think that 60K job you keep complaining about doesn’t have proper reading qualifications.

    Again, you project your own obsessions into this. Of course Biden contributed, maybe a bit of comprehension and intellect where I’ve said this countless times here would provide a bit of a hint. Or the fact that I didn’t mention this wasn’t solely on trump. I can’t provide an essay on every post to appease your insecurities and cult allegiances

    I have to ask, why are you so defensive about Trump..? You seem to project and run to his defense at every feigned offense. You do realize it’s ok to think Biden and Trump are terrible right? I feel bad for you man, that’s a tough way to live life

    Who knew calling No Hit Backs was a viable military strategy?
