This base will be the locus of a US build-up.

A Rabbi I know has one THIS long..! He says if American farmboys blow up Eeeeevil Iran then he will bless my mouth with EVERY drop of his essence..! EVERY DROP..! Yuuuuuuge story tonight, folks, can't say much now, but MY AMAZING SUPERSIZE STORY with NACHO CHEESE on top will FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE REPUBLIC..!!" This time I promise..!

[Pretty frustrated at Sean Hannity trying to tell the Col. that we should strike Iran’s nuke weapons facilities.
And he persisted after the Col. explained that their facilities are very deeply buried and only accessible by bunker busting nukes!!!]

Any idea how deep? Current 15 ton conventional bombs can penetrate 200 feet of concrete before detonation:

That’s 20 stories.

BOL! I had to read this twice to get your drift/meaning/intent!

I am still waiting for PDJT to sign an edict requiring people to inhale and exhale on a regular basis.

Before the idiots realize what they are doing, we may rid ourselves of quite a few as they are in the act of DEFYING ANYTHING PDJT may say or do.

Balderdash!!!! Iran acted because PDJT DIDN’T refer to 2 Arabs & 1 Hispanic as ‘women of color’ because if he had they would have hung him from the yardarm. SO, when he DIDN’T refer to the non women of color as women of color, THEY declared they were women of color. I am still waiting for PDJT to sign an edict requiring people to inhale and exhale on a regular basis. Before the idiots realize what they are doing, we may rid ourselves of quite a few as they are in the act of DEFYING ANYTHING PDJT may say or do.

Beautiful!

That’s like saying Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia to free a few Germans.
The Iranian actions are connected to ALL the US/British sanctions and ‘provocations’ we are partners to the British in this campaign to defang the mullahs... and they know it. We can’t insist the Brits, or anyone else join us in our campaign against Iran, then when they are assaulted say... ‘none of our business’.

The 1979 Iranian revolution was aimed at toppling the Shah, who had been put in power in the 1950s after the U.S. helped Great Britain overthrow the elected government of Iran on behalf of British Petroleum.

We’d be better off if we’d just leave other countries the hell alone.

[Wuli]

Why? The Saudis can’t buy some troops and a navy from anywhere else?

[bgill]

We don’t need to involve ourselves. Let the Brits get their ships back themselves.

[jmacusa]

True, but there’s the possibility of a downed US plane and a captured pilot or just more escalation into a situation of an armed conflict with Iran.. Don’t doubt for a moment the Deep State is pushing this to sink Trumps shot at being reelected.

[central_va]

This won’t sink his re-election!! Come on/

[theoldmarine]

R u nuts? Leave Iran alone so they can have a nuclear weapon?

[jmacusa]

I don't know man. Our military has been on the go for quite a few years now. We need to pull back, rest, recoup, refit and redefine our priorities . I'd would much rather see our troops on our southern border dealing with all those caravans pushing their way in here.
