It’s downright laughable when MAGA demands others tell the “full story.”
Soleimani did organize attacks on Americans and allies, but his killing had consequences: it increased tensions, led to retaliatory attacks, and resulted in US troops suffering brain injuries. Hell, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is still calling for Trump's assassination.
As for Trump's Afghan withdrawal plan, why negotiate with the Taliban while excluding the recognized Afghan government?
This is getting less and less tolerable.
First, and for the eight millionth time, I am not a Trump supporter, and never have been.
I get really tired of pointing that out to wackos who can't post a single thing without brining up that term.
Knowing the history of things and suggesting some things were smart to do is not an endorsement of the individual who was advised, acted on that advice, and did them.
You are clearly uniformed about what this man was up to and planning, which was the justification for his demise.
Further, to even suggest that anything Iran does is the result of a US action, resulting in the deaths and injuries of Americans is gross ignorance of 45 years of history.
Regarding the Afghan withdrawal, Trump promised it, negotiated it and it was underway.
BUT, and you and yours never mention this crucial point, there were tripwires that would have stopped it.
Those tripwires were crossed, and Biden proceeded with the most disgraceful escape I have ever been ashamed to watch, against advice.

Or the Soleimani strike that brought Iranian missiles and left US troops with brain injuries Trump called headaches.
I often wonder why people don't acknowledge the full story. Not doing so is a deceitful posture.
Do you know what Soleimani was up to or planning, because that was the sole reason he was targeted?
To suggest that Iran hasn't been at war with Israel, the US and the west for that matter since 1979 is simply not accurate.
Thank God Soleimani was killed.
Do you know the "out" provisions that were in the Trump Afghan withdraw plan?
Items which subsequent Taliban actions would have triggered.

Then pull out and give Putin what he wants...choose, freedom or communism
There are other options for a solution.
What is going on now is not one of them.
Your's is the Zelensky ultimatum, which is not going to work.

Trump and Vance have no actual ability to negotiate as statesmen. Imagine how they would do with a real powerful adversary! How is Trump going to handle Iran when it gets nukes, or when China invades Taiwan?
You negotiate as statesmen.
When that negotiation fails, things happen.
The US has no need to "negotiate" with a nuclear Iran, which Israel would probably do before any US involvement.
It simply eliminates the threat, as it has in the past.

It was humorous seeing Vance stammering trying to defend his opinions with things he saw on TV. He’s one of those guys that will act tough if he’s hanging out with his friends but he would just shrink alone under any marginal threat.
Idiotic.

Trump just negotiate by ganging up on Zelensky. He needed his sidekick.
Is trump ok with Putin destroying Ukraine and getting those precious rare minerals he wants. He he ok with Putin expansion. Is he ok with turning just back on friends.
You know negotiating in the press never works in any form of business. Trump goes all Hollywood and then cries when the ending changes
This entire thing is nonsense, and I spent my years from 22 to 28 planning, training, teaching and working to destroy the USSR.
This is a never ending European trash hole for US money.
We should not fund his desires, nor facilitate Z's desire for his reputation.
It is time to end this massacre, and end US financial support for this lost cause.

You can’t get even stupider
You think it’s just fine and dandy to simply pick clowns off of Fox News? And you think someone else is stupid? 🤣
This is typical.
Nothing to do with the issue.
Nothing.
Ya. I think there is plenty of stupidity here, and you lead the way.

Again the words near miss indicate that it wasn't a miss but it was very close to being a miss. Near hit indicates that a hit very nearly happened.
Think what you want, but in the business, when someone has to do something to avoid a potential problem, it is called a near miss.

Maybe allowing a Real World Fox News reject, and an exploding rocket-building Nazi dismantle our FAA wasn't such a brilliant idea.
The more you post, the stupider you get.

Doesn't a "near miss" mean they actually collided? A "near hit" means they missed each other, amirite?
No. In the aviation world, a near miss" means somebody had to do something to avoid an issue.
Happens a lot, not like this incident at Midway, which was serious, but it is not unusual.
The only thing that is different is that it is now politicized by lunes who have no background in this.
Kind of like posting a link to some twenty year old who has no air traffic experience and is claimed to know something about safety.
One thousand pieces of nonsense for anything of value, but that's what happens when ignorant people politicize things that happen every day.

You can't be serious.
This has nothing to do with the FAA's mandate or purpose.
The man was involved in detecting cruise missiles inbound to Hawaii.
Should that concern any passenger?
Does that have anything to do with the safe transportation of people through the airspace system?
I really wonder if people even watch this stuff before posting.

By the way, for the sane and rational here, the little Citation was told to hold short of the runway.
That means don't cross until cleared.
They crossed without clearance, which caused the problem.
Nothing to do with anything administration related.
One more stupid attempt at making something political, which it isn't.
Tiresome and goofy, but it is what it is.

This issue is directly linked to the current administration. With widespread cuts across federal agencies, we're seeing early warning signs of threats to both public safety and national security.
Uninformed and idiotic.

Heard this today, from the guy who started and runs "Folds of Honor," which provides folded flags to families of US military people killed in action, but even more important, provides tens of millions of dollars in scholarship money for their dependents.
NFL and Anheuser Busch, among others are partners.
He stated that 77% of the demographic from 18-26 years olds, is not qualified to serve in any service.
Of the remaining 23%, only 10% is at all interested in military service.
This is not good and does not argue for success in the next conflict.

To state the obvious, there is no loving your neighbor on this forum from either side.
There is no moral high ground to be justifiably claimed.
Either way, I gave up Catholicism because of the inconsistencies in that theology vs. Biblical , and the Pope was was of about three reasons.
I wish him and Catholics well.

The flight did indeed stop in Rome, so no clarification was needed.
Ya, and the issue was found to be not credible, so it proceeded onto original destination.
There's nothing here, and to suggest there is is ridiculous.

You didn't mention that is was proven to be not credible, and the flight proceeded.
How anyone could link a fake bomb threat, which happens quite a bit, to any administration is an incredible suggestion.
This place has become bizarre.

I agree with you. Biden should have provided Ukraine with all the necessary resources to defeat Putin decisively. However, this approach risked escalating tensions and potentially triggering World War III with significant US casualties.
Sure.
Biden has never done anything worthwhile regarding the US military.
He was a useless president.
Get in or get out, and I'm not advocating he committed US troops to this, but if he was any kind of leader, he could have ended this.
He isn't, and he never has been.
A tepid approach never works.

At what point should the US care?
My view of your contribution is not favorable, and this is a classic example.
The US should and does "care."
Caring is not the issue.
The issue is whether or not the US taxpayer should fund an endless, infinitely expensive war.
We either commit sources to it to determine the outcome, or we don't.
What Biden was doing was useless, Vietnamesque,but he has never gotten anything right re foreign policy or the use of our military, so no surprise.

See anything that says "US" in this post?
The issue is that there are people who have a valid claim that we shouldn't be the underpinning factor in this, both financially and logistically.
It is a valid point.
My view is that we should support them within reason, but Biden was never able to tip the scales, thought that was possible, but it needs to end.

You are correct...but
How is it that many citizens suddenly believe that a group of billionaires are suddenly working tirelessly for the benefit of the working class of America.
Because that's how people act when they have enough.
Other things become more important, like solving obvious problems and doing a greater service.
Some people are like that, and we seem to have a few, thankfully.

Why not price ceilings on eggs, accompanied by Egg Ration Cards? At least that would fulfill the promise.
And result in the end of production, as it always does when the gov screws things up by intervening.

You continue to disregard reality.
What I defend are claims that are ignorant, misinformed or simply bull####, and about three of you do this all the time.
Trump never said there were good neo nazis or white supremacists.
Never....Yet it got posted by you people over and over.
It was a gross lie that needed to be refuted.
You have stated that the assassination of Soleimani led to things that would not otherwise have happened.
Never do you suggest you have any idea why it was done, what he was about or what he was planning.
That is deceitful and ignorant.
You never suggested that you have any understanding of the details Trump Afghan withdrawal plan.
Instead, you incorrectly label people who bring those issues up.
You seem to operate at a 30% level, with politics filling the remainder.
It is ignorant and tiresome.
Well, I sure as hell didn't like what happened yesterday, or Greenland or the Gulf of America, but when you have a few people posting absolutely untrue or distorted nonsense, those should be refuted, and it happens here all the time.
