I thought it was like a 20 million dollar drone?
Yeah, 20 million is a lot of money for us peons out here, but it is not even a mosquito bite for the US.
I see the Iranians as desperate to start a war, and so i'm hesitant to do what they want. Let them provoke us further.
And how do you know the people who are involved in the ongoing coup against this president arent in cahoots with Russia and China to egg on Iran to start a war against us? This presidency has changed the global equation and there are a lot of Deep State/globalist insiders who will do anything to deny this president a second term, even plunging this country into what could be a catastrophic conflict! Iran is a terrorist nation and the world has much to fear from them, but dont kid yourself into thinking theyre being this aggressive on their own. The Russians, Chinese, and the Deep State here and around the world want the old world order back to normal with us being a paper tiger while they control everything!
This was a made to order excuse to destroy all Iranian nuclear facilities. We whiffed this one but I am sure there will be other opportunities to screw up.
“...does not mean there is no war going on. Only that is being fought in multiple dimensions”
**************
Correct. I seriously doubt that we are “doing nothing”.
I think that if starting a war with Iran will damage Trump's election chances, we will lose far more than we will ever gain from doing it.
Trump is the last bastion of sanity and freedom in this nation, and if another nutbag Democrat gets that power, It will cost us far more in lost freedom than any war with Iran would have ever benefited us.
Let us not be penny wise and pound foolish.
Catastrophic for who? What a bunch of pussies. Promising to stay out of war does not mean not retaliating when struck in the nose by a psycho. We will pay for this inaction. We always do.
He now has a yuge bargaining chip with Iran. Anyone who cannot see this is as dumb as the neo-con Bushes, et al.
MSM this morning said $130 mil
Trump’s playing a psychological cat and mouse game with the Mullahs ... he’s more or less daring them to do something even bigger so that there would be actual proportional justification for the pending attack (most likely against nuclear facilities) ...
if the Mullahs are smart, they won’t take the bait ...
if not, and the Mullah’s are stupid enough to take the bait (like the dying lying fake stream enemedia always takes Trump’s bait - sometimes even in the form of fake leaks when he wants the to publish something), then the Mullah’s will regret the hell that Trump will unleash on them ... I guess it all depends upon how much the Mullahs value their nuclear facilities ...
What bargaining chip is that? LOL
We dont need war with Iran.
Good comments. But I suspect that we are not sitting around waiting for the next provocation and are rather retaliating in other ways.
Stable. Genius.
And hung like a centaur.
I have always believed we should have beat sh*t out of Iran back in 1979 when they seized our embassy personnel, and I have never changed my mind about this.
I *want* to destroy the existing Iranian government, and I'm perfectly fine with a war to do it.
But I also think there are some things more important than righting this wrong that idiot Jimmy Carter created, and one of those things is protecting our country from an even worse threat than Iran, and that is a Democrat President.
Iran isn't going anywhere, but the election is next year. If starting a war with Iran will adversely affect Trump's reelection, then it is a cost we cannot bear.
We can bide our time for a year and a half, and once his election is secure, we can blow sh*t out of Iran, and I will applaud.
But let us keep our priorities straight. The first thing of importance is protecting freedom here in America, not regime change in a foreign Muslim nation in which America really no longer has any significant interests.
“But I dont like proportionate. “
For sure. In court you get cost plus triple damages.
You forgot the /rhetorical tag.
Yes, of course they do. Good is evil and evil is good to them.
Agree. By doing this The Prez really plays with the mullahs heads
Sounds wise, but you risk death by a thousand cuts.
It’s quite obvious who the loon is...
and it’s YOU.
