I realize that’s crazy talk to anyone born in the 1990s or the 2000s. If you learned your foreign policy in a post-9/11 Ivy League classroom, or from some based online bugmold with a newsletter, that sounds like the reckless neocon warmongering that put us into a quagmire in Iraq.

But I was born in the 1970s. I remember the shocking barbarism of the fatwa against Mr. Rushdie. I remember the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorism of the 1980s, the 1994 suicide attack on the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing. I remember Terry Anderson and Terry Waite. I remember that al Qaeda members, including Osama bin Laden’s son, were given sanctuary in Iran after 9/11.

Any American over 50 knows who started it. The claim that Iran is the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism is more than words. It strikes deep. The Islamic Republic has waged war on the West and Western values for half a century. The Foundation for Defense of Democracies keeps a handy tally of Tehran’s long and bloody résumé. Check it out sometime.”

This! This! This!
Trump is flushing our taxpayer dollars down the toilet. How many billions is he spending every day? We cannot afford this adventurism.

This! +1000 he’s a dying old man checking off items on his to-do list and making sure he takes care of his bros before he croaks.

This is a war almost 40 years in the making.

Trump said in *1987* that the US should attack "horrible, horrible" Iran, "and take over some of their oil." In the years since, Trump talked about seizing oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Libya.

This is the problem with dementia. Trump is largely living in the 70s (when NYC was crime ridden, when Iran was an existential threat, etc).

Or he thinks it's all one glorious UFC fight. CNN quotes him saying we're "knocking the crap" out of Iran. This is how the buffoon speaks about a deadly conflict that could result in WWIII breaking out. It's all one big UFC fight he placed a big bet on and expects to win.

He thinks it will overshadow EPSTEIN! He is a fool because nothing will keep the trump-Epstein files off the front page!

Good God. Give it a rest. You people are totally obsessed with Epstein when you didn’t utter a word about the files or the victims during Biden’s 4 years.

And if your critical thinking were in place you would realize that if there was a hint of anything credible pointing to any criminal acts by Trump, the Democrats would have used that in a hot second.

That’s still your talking point? That Trump is totally innocent and has never done anything wrong or broken any laws?

What happens when Russia joins the war to support its Iranian ally?

They’re not going to do that.

I doubt that too. But I think it’s highly likely that china supplies Iran with lots of missiles and drones to keep this going for a while. They won’t get actively involved, but they’ll take the opportunity to bleed our munitions stocks dry so we won’t be able to stop them from taking Taiwan.

That's plausible.

China cant take over Taiwan without leveling the island. But they want the semiconductor plants.

The Taiwanese will willingly join them. They have no alternative now. The Japanese are PISSED that the US didn’t give them the customary heads up. China is now eying Japan. Taiwan is small change.

Stop saying stupid sht. Do you know any Taiwanese?

This is incredibly stupid. Zero chance any of the above happens in the near term.

It’s a shame they don’t involve you in their plans considering you are such an accomplished military mind and all. If you know anything about our military, they don’t take orders from any foreign power. This is a joint operation. It appears the US is targeting nuclear sites and striking missile launching sites while Israel is taking out Iran’s leadership. This is what a coordinated joint effort looks like.

This is the most humorous angle yet. Trump is clearly the international rent boy for every country that has compromised him, and because he’s an impulsive child, that list of countries is LONG.

Remember how great the Iraq war and war in Afghanistan were?

Those were with more competent leadership top to bottom, without exception.
