No, I think he is under the impression that Trump thinks starting wars is a powerful tool for reelection purposes. I hope people realize that a conventional war with Iran will require a draft and will incur the deaths of a great many people. I don't belong to a party, I have my own ideas of life, liberty, and justice and do not need to follow the talking points of self serving so called civil servants from either party. Life is precious and to throw kids lives away for political points and vanity is just plain sickening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The leftist morons are outraged by American action in the Middle East. What an absolute mother fvcking shock that is. As usual hating Trump is WAY MORE important than protecting US interests in that region (or any region, for that matter); 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably a counter-productive one - the IRGC is more than robust enough to recover from the assassination of their head. This is a symbolic gesture that leaves them intact, operationally undegraded, and angry. Noooo...this is 4d chess that 45 plays....so far ahead of everyone....I am quite positive Jared’s plan...oh wait DT’s plan for the Middle East will yield the same positive reset as say....North Korea✌️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I liked about Trump so far was how he resisted doing rash things with the military. What happens next is something we can only wait for. Iran is under a lot of pressure.

bdutton Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 This is a major escalation. Not sure I agree with it. I need more information on who this guy was and just how much he personally had to do with the deaths of Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Adams Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 9 hours ago, Cinga said: good... that will make killing the rest of them that much more enjoyable.... Killing people should never be enjoyable, and I believe Trump feels that way based on his actions as POTUS. I hope this doesn't escalate beyond more words.

SoCal Deek Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I love how all of these arm chair internet critics like to second guess every move. I’d like to see them try being in the decision making seat for one day. It’s a lot harder than it looks from your keyboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
