Trump Launches War On Iran

Iran is defeated.

They have no air or naval capabilities left.

Unless someone was stupid enough to invade, and no one is, the chance of war is virtually zero.

Trump just trumped not only Iran, but America's Hamas - the democrats.

Just because we can defeat Iran, does it necessarily follow that we should?

I don't see the Jus ad bellum here. I don't argue that Iran wasn't seeking to enrich uranium - it's obvious they were - but even so, is that justification for our bombing them?
 
He told us it was time for peace after the attack? I don't remember that.
Bin Laden thought the U.S. would withdraw troops from the Middle East if he attacked in spectacular fashion because he had seen previous presidents pull troops out after such attacks, i.e. Reagan in Lebanon and Clinton in Somalia.

YAY!

Stories about the hypothetical world of your imagination!

The land where no one has any principles and everyone runs on tribal fanaticism.
Yeah sure, can you show your posts against Biden's Somalia invasion and authorize use of lethal force?

Enriching uranium means its radioactive. Lol.

If they made fuel for reactors then there was no need to attack them

That's what I'm getting at.

He seems to be saying the Plutonium byproduct of nuclear power generation is what he's after, if I understand him correctly?
 
I don’t share the confidence that you guys seem to have.

That's because you're a partisan hack and care more about defeating Trump than keeping America and it's inhabitants safe.

I guess time will tell what was actually accomplished and what comes next.

What comes next will be revolution in Iran.

What comes of that is always a concern. The Mullahs are done - what will replace them? A peaceful democracy? Sort of doubtful. It won't be radical Islam - but beyond that I have no real predictions to offer.

I think it is premature to be patting ourselves on the back and saying that this was a decisive victory and now Iran isn’t a threat for X years, etc.

You are only miffed that Trump did this. You can't stand a win for Trump and would almost prefer nuclear war.
 
no, if Biden had done this you and all the rest of maga would be calling him a war monger driving us into WW3.
Well , I'm not MAGA. But I would have wondered who made the decision or did Biden have a lucid moment.
 
Sorry. I don't recall that statement by anyone.

You don't think that no one in the 1950s thought of Vietnam as a quagmire?
 
The great faithful will begin telling us regime change was always the plan and this isn’t a war. That’s how they get around accusations that Trump started a new war - simply don’t call it a war. Mission accomplished.
Like a "special military operation".
;)
 
It's not a war. He hasn't done anything that Biden hasn't done. Or Obama. Or Bush. Or Clinton.
Sure, it's a war. Israel started this war Friday a week ago.

And, because Netanyahu needs the USA to join its war against Iran, the POTUS and CinC obligingly did what Netanyahu wanted.
 
Yeah sure, can you show your posts against Biden's Somalia invasion and authorize use of lethal force?

lol

If I could not show you something like that, would it mean that the hypothetical world of your imagination was real?

If I did show you something like that, would it cause you to change you thinking?

Or are we just talking about me to pass the time?
