That’s what I’m trying to do, educate myself and learn by asking questions. I definitely don’t have all of the answers, or any of the answers. I’ve tried to acknowledge in several posts that Trump may well be correct in this strike, and I’ve tried to imply that I am sure that our military and intelligence communities know far more than I do and had particular information that led us to decide that now was the time to forcefully attack.Hopefully you educate yourself more on this issue than what you have shown in the last few pages. The US troops in the ME are always in danger. This will likely bring an end to the Israel and Iran war sooner and it makes the world safer. Iran was completely isolated. Russia and china wanted nothing to do with them, their proxies have been neutered, and their stockpile of ballistic misses has been greatly reduced. I’m sure they will try something but their options have been greatly diminished. Can’t live in fear of an attack on our basses when the possibility of ending their nuke program is on the table. This is why trump won. Not afraid and decisive. The exact opposite of the last 4 years.
I think it’s totally valid to question the wisdom of what we’ve just done, though. That’s not to say that I inherently or reflexively think that we are wrong. I don’t know if we are wrong. I don’t know if we are right. I’m just afraid right now that we’ve kicked the hornets nest. I don’t mean to say that I’m afraid that Iran could “defeat” us in a war or anything like that, I just mean that I’m afraid that further escalation will lead to catastrophic consequences for our troops or citizens abroad.
I’ve said it and I fully believe it, if this whole thing ends with Iran’s nuclear capability eliminated and their regime crippled, I’ll shower Trump with praise. I don’t like the guy personally, obviously, but he’s my president and I certainly wish for his success and that of our country.
