Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Ah, the good old days when republicans weren't afraid of their own shadows.

But putin has nukes and he's waving his arms around like he's crazy so we better do whatever he wants or he'll use nukes.

What happened between then and now?

 

[jnug]

This brings back memories. I nicknamed John Bolton as Bombs Away Bolton as that was always his first instinct. "Bomb them....bomb them to hell"

Trump, and the changes in that party which allowed him to take power.

What bombing of Iran are you talking about?

 

[The Mark]

What bombing of Iran are you talking about?

I'm just guessing, but I think they are referring to calls in previous years to bomb Iran from various Republicans.

Not any actual bombing, but didn't Trump order a cruise missile strike on an Iranian base after it was evacuated?

Funny how the under the last two Republican presidents (Bush,Trump) Putin was afraid to push things. Then along came Obama and Putin took Crimea. Now along comes Biden and Putin takes Ukraine. I'm seeing a pattern.

So.... no actual bombing then.

I guess ask Biden? He is the one calling the shots? Or is he?

Not really funny.

Pretty simple really, Putin knows Democrats will support a Republican President but he also knows Republicans won't support a Democratic President.

Putin must be smarter than I give him credit for. I always thought of him as a KGB thug who made it big. He has eyes like a doll's eyes, cold and lifeless.

I mean if you don't count cruise missiles for some reason....sure?

Is there someone in particular you are referring to here, bongsaway?

I think anyone who thinks Putin isn't smart is in for a surprise.

He was smart before 22 years of absolute rule took its toll on him. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

What cruise missile? Link please.

If Putin "thinks" Democrats will support a Republican President, he's as stupid as you are.

If Biden actually did something correct, I would support him. He did not want to stop importing Russian oil. It took days and days of public outcry for him to reluctantly do it. But he should be doing it with strong influences over increasing domestic oil production. Instead, he is going to pander to Iran and Venezuela. Does he ever do anything right?

I'm not stupid. So there is that.

Remember that whole Iraq War Powers Act of 2002, yeah the one where President Bush was easily granted permission to wage a totally needless and insane war in Iraq?

That Act passed in a bipartisan fashion with two very prominent Democrats voting for the Act, Senators Hillary Clinton and Joseph Biden.

Also remember the Authorization for Use of Military Force that was the open door for the invasion of Afghanistan was unanimously passed in the House and the Senate.

Got my memory mixed up, it was Syria, not Iran.

That got attacked by cruise missiles, I mean.

Right so this is a thread about no bombing in Iran. There was the drone strike on Soleimani but that was not in Iran. Israel bombed Iran but of course that was not the USA. Maybe it is a thread only about Bolton who Trump fired because he was a warmonger.

 

[Craig234]

OP is referring to the 2008 presidential campaign when nominee John McCain 'sang' "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys song. Democrats were pretty appalled by the naked love of killing and went on to win the election and make a peaceful deal with Iran which they followed and we left under trump. Iran did not have nuclear weapons; Putin does.

As Forrest said, "Stupid is as stupid does", so there is that, and Joe is "doing" stupid as fast as he can.
