You know many on this board hate that trump executed this because they would rather Iran have nukes than trump get the win by destroying their capability. Their tds is greater than their desire to keep nukes out of Iran’s hands.
 
Yeah. Anyone who thinks that there won’t be Iranian retaliation, either directly or (more likely) by proxy, and subsequent escalation, is abjectly clueless.

That’s not to say that I don't support the Iranian regime being forcefully parted with its ability to develop nuclear weapons. I’m just not certain that THIS was the way to go about it. (And, to be fair, I don’t know enough to have any belief that it’s not the way to do it, either). Just sucks that it seems that another Middle Eastern war with direct United States involvement is imminent.

Lets look back on this in a few years and see what the fruits of it were. If you're completely cocksure that this will be the end of it, and you turn out to be right, then I'll buy you a drink.

Now might be a good time to start keeping paper copies of important documents and saving paper copies of bank statements.

Are you for not voting for him? Can you imagine if kamala or Brandon had been in office? This would have NEVER happened. Trump just made the world far safer and seemingly with the silent approval of china, Russia, and the rest of the ME.

I fully expect a terrorist attack- from Iran down the road in the form of cyber attacks. In the short run Iran will not start a fight with a real attack (killing people). But Irans enemies may strike the US soon knowing Trump is stupid enough and our intelligence is so weakened by the fools in charge that he/they will blame Iran. Sunni terrorist (eg ISIS) hate both the US and Iran so why not start WW3 by pulling US into direct conflict with Iran. Bad things for the US will come from this down the road.
 
I see they let Calroy take his iPad home on the short bus this weekend. Military disqualifies the mentally disabled so no chance he has to fight; can understand the celebratory spirit.

You don’t give the intelligence community much credit. If you really believe they are as stupid as you describe, they should all be disbanded.
 
I think the most disappointing part of this, to me, is that the president who fancies himself as the world’s greatest negotiator was unable to successfully negotiate with a weakened Iran. Theoretically the direct use of the United States military to preemptively attack another sovereign nation could be considered a negotiation failure. Trump and Bibi dismantled the Obama deal with Iran with the expectation that they could get a “better” one. The moment that Iran or an Iranian proxy sheds a drop of U.S. blood in retaliation for the strike means that Trump and Bibi failed in the most significant way possible- and violated both U.S. domestic and international law to do it. Disappointing.

I’m not reflexively against Trump eliminating Iran’s ability to make nuclear war. I’m reflexively against preemptively bombing other sovereign countries unless there is absolutely, positively no other alternative. I’m not cheering for Trump to be unsuccessful- and if this whole thing ends right now with Iran’s nuclear capabilities permanently crippled, and their theocratic government permanently weakened, then I will gladly shower him with effusive praise.

Wait a second you assholes were the ones calling Kamala a fucking warmonger and guaranteed this would happen. Until your guy did it now you’re all for it?

I hate the Iranian regime and think they should be eradicated yesterday but why would the U.S. itself strike Iran? Why not just give Israel the munitions to do so and allow them to do it? Is that just a distinction without a difference? While we would certainly benefit from a non-nuclear Iran, this isn’t our fight so why make it one and invite Iranian retaliation and further escalation? I thought MAGAts were voting for the “prince of peace” president who wouldn’t get us into foreign wars like warmonger Genocide Joe? What gives, MAGAts?
