There is no reason to accept the assurances of MAGA-Neocons that the bombing of Iran was a glorious victory

Once again Cypress, you are a legend in your own mind. Feel free to post anytime I said I supported Iraq. I will wait Wimpy.
That idiot keeps bringing up Iraq. The sad fact is, he should look up who
on the left also voted for the attack on Iraq. The truth may blind him...again.
 

The United States Bombed Iran. What Comes Next?​


President Donald Trump has done what he swore he would not do: involve the United States in a war in the Middle East.

His supporters will tie themselves in knots (as Vice President J. D. Vance did last week) trying to jam the square peg of Trump’s promises into the round hole of his actions.

And many of them may avoid calling this “war” at all, even though that’s what Trump himself called it tonight. They will want to see it as a quick win against an obstinate regime that will eventually declare bygones and come to the table. But whether bombing Iran was a good idea or a bad idea—and it could turn out to be either, or both—it is war by any definition of the term, and something Trump had vowed he would avoid.

So what’s next?

Before considering the range of possibilities, it’s important to recognize how much we cannot know at this moment.

The president’s statement tonight was a farrago of contradictions: He said, for example, that the main Iranian nuclear sites were “completely and totally obliterated”—but it will take time to assess the damage, and he has no way of knowing this.

He claimed that the Iranian program has been destroyed—but added that there are still “many targets” left. He said that Iran could suffer even more in the coming days—but the White House has reportedly assured Iran through back channels that these strikes were, basically, a one-and-done, and that no further U.S. action is forthcoming.


but why do you love tewwowists?

:tardthoughts:
 
Our intelligence said Iran was not close to making a nuke. That is why Tuilsi was muffled before Trump's act of war. Bibi has claimed for several decades that Iran was 2 weeks away from a bomb. After hearing him repeat that lie so often, I figured even Trumpys would understand he was lying. The fact is Bibi and Daffy Donald had this planned. They need a war to boost their popularity. They both have legal problems to deal with when their offices no longer protect them.

Self-euthanasia. Just saying.
 
They are stating that Iran moved their enriched uranium, anticipating this attack.
Trump just wanted to blow something up. There's no evidence Iran had designs on attacking the United States, there's no evidence they were building a bomb. This is Israel's war, and while the US should provide military aid and intel to Israel, there's no justification for us joining in on their war.
 
What kind of a fucking moron are you?
I have disagreed on a few things every president I've voted for has done.
But, I have agreed on the majority of things those presidents have done
See how that works, asshole?
Easy words to write, but I've never seen you start a thread openly opposing any significant action Trump has taken or proposed.

None of the European leaders, whose countries are a lot closer to the perceived threat, raised a finger to stop it. trump was the fool who rushed in.
