Official War With Iran Thread

[Serious]

all i know is someone is lying:



I'm not saying the current administration is lying about this, but they have a tendency to lie.

 

[mitter]

We didn't see this coming:

No money to spend on healthcare or scientific research or infrastructure or education or food for Americans.

But there is ALWAYS more money available for Israel.

So if it's no Iran Navy that means they can't choke off the straight of hormuz right

To add onto what @42 Monks said, the risk of getting hit by any size drone/munition is enough to shut down traffic, or minimize it to the point of causing logistic turmoil.

If your city had a stretch of six lane highway, and the news said someone that the police can’t immediately stop is launching small bottle rockets at anything driving that stretch, 99% of drivers are going to avoid that stretch or be forced to wait until it’s safe.

The thing is, both Iran and Israel lie all the time about this type of stuff. The U.S getting into that level of untrustworthiness is something, though.

Is it working? Did everyone forget about "the files" yet?

HELL NO

We didn't see this coming:

Anyone who voted for this agrees with trump

 

[newarkhiphop]

Now the real question here is how much does all this cost:

is this real

 

[CrimsonTider]

The longer this war goes, the worse it is for US

If trump really gets this done in 4 weeks then take a bow. But we will see

Get ls what done? What’s the goal here?

None of what you're saying is wrong, but Democratic leadership (Jeffries and Schumer specifically) are at best pussies, and at worst, complicit. At some point, we (and I'm including myself as a lifelong Democratic voter) might have to come to terms with the fact that these two don't disagree with Trump as much on substance as we'd like to think. Occam's razor, at least in my opinion, points to them not vociferously opposing the attack on Iran because they actually support it.

This is the stupidest war of all of our lifetimes. You thought Iraq was bad? At least they had an objective that they could lie to us about. Trump is saying one thing, Marco Rubio is saying another, Ted Cruz (who apparently was advising them in the days before) is saying yet another. At least the Bush Administration was able to agree on the same lie.

We have dumb asses both on this site and off coming up with justifications for this attack when the Administration itself cannot articulate a concrete objective or reason. We're depleting our arsenal, (possibly) damaging our relationship with the Gulf allies even more, and creating an even more dangerous world for Americans, and for what? To attack a country that poses no imminent threat to us and that the Omani foreign minister said had already agreed to an even stronger deal than the JCPOA.

And all these cowards can talk about is process. Yes, Republicans are a cult, but we've known that since 2016. What do we do about that now?

The Dems don’t have any power

I don't think anyone will forget the president is serial child rapist

They're masochists.

They want Talarico to take that Beto L too.

Hard lessons need to be learned.
