My thoughts on bombing Iran.
I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.
Almost everyone in our country can relate to this fact.
However America has not dropped bunker busters on the Cartel’s sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive cartel poisonous drug operations, or gone to war against the cartels international terrorists networks.
Neocon warmongers beat their drums of war and act like Billy badasses going to war in countries most Americans have never seen and can’t find on a map, but never find the courage to go to war against the actual terrorists who actually do kill Americans, invade our land, and make BILLIONS doing it day after day, year after year.
I’m 51 years old. I’m GenX.
I’ve watched our country go to war in foreign lands for foreign causes on behalf of foreign interests for as long as I can remember. I was in 10th grade when Desert Storm started and my father before me was sent to Vietnam, another senseless foreign war.
America is $37 TRILLION in debt and all of these foreign wars have cost Americans TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars that never benefited any American.
American troops have been killed and forever torn apart physically and mentally for regime change, foreign wars, and for military industrial base profits.
I’m sick of it.
I can easily say I support nuclear armed Israel’s right to defend themselves and also say at the same time I don’t want to fight or fund nuclear armed Israel’s wars.
Nor any other country for that matter.
I’m sick of funding foreign aid and foreign countries and foreign everything.
I want to fund American interests and issues.
I want GREAT trade deals so American businesses and people can afford goods and be successful.
I want low inflation and low interest rates.
I want American construction, housing, and manufacturing to BOOM.
I want Americans to be rich and have security in their future.
I want my children’s generation to HAVE A GREAT FUTURE!!!
My kids are 22, 25, and 27.
It pisses me off beyond comprehension that my children’s generation can’t afford to buy a house, can’t afford insurance, and have little hope for their future!!!
Americans are exhausted by all of this and rightfully so.
I can also support President Trump and his great administration on many of the great things they are doing while disagreeing on bombing Iran and getting involved in a hot war that Israel started.
That’s not disloyalty. Critical thinking and having my own opinions is the most American thing ever.
Because contrary to what brainwashed Democrat boomers say, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and President Trump has surrounded himself with people who once disagreed with him and even ran against him for President.
Also the same Democrats in Congress that are all of sudden clutching their pearls about Trump bombing Iran FULLY SUPPORTED AND VOTED TO FUND Dementia ridden Biden’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and stood by Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Hypocrites is all they are and they are just desperately trying to find solid ground to oppose Trump on because so far they’ve failed at grasping anything yet.
Now what has been done is done and Americans now fear Iranian terrorists attacks on our own soil and being dragged into another war by Netanyahu when we weren’t even thinking about any of this a week ago.
We don’t know what the future holds and I pray for the safety of all people and an end to the constant demand for America to go to war.
Enough is enough.
If Iran has a bomb, Israel will NOT be their only target
Trump changed his mind about his ICE raids, too -- until he got a tremendous pushback from his own supporters, including MTG, on this.
You're taking Trump's words literally when you should be taking them seriously.
Chilling and compelling statement. Doesn't destroying their facilities fix this?
But, why is POTUS talking about regime change --- also known as nation building, the quagmire that trapped us in Iraq and Afghanistan for decades?

This gal isn’t having any of what MTG is dishing ...

Good grief....the panicans are immature. Trump always said he would crush Iran if they built nukes. He has offered them opportunities to come to the table but they refused because no American leader has given them a real ultimatum.
Trump is not an isolationist, nor has he ever claimed to be. He prefers peace and real compromise.....as he slapped down both Ukraine and Russia.
The fools who think the US should back down from a nation that sponsors terrorists are small-minded. No one knows for certain how it will all play out but I do know that those people I listened religiously, daily.....are no longer in my focus....we can disagree but making false accusations and acting like a bunch of f*ing crybabies is not worth my time listening!
Well said. Thank you.
Ask MTG if it is okay for Cuba, Canada, Mexico, and Nicaragua to build facilities that produce enriched uranium that can only be used for a nuclear bombs. After all, those countries have not attacked us or leaders have not proclaimed over and over, “Death to America.”
Her ambitions are obviously unbridled and her level of trolling to remain relevant is insane!!
“Trump campaigned for four years on no more nation building...”
He was referring to the USA not doing the nation building. He WANTS nation building, which would be regime change, BY THE IRANIAN CITIZENS. What dumbass would NOT want regime change from the existing regime?
Pres Trump is likely giving a wink to the people of Iran who tried a Green Revolution ... and, were completely and heartbreakingly abandoned by 0bammy.
The panicans who ASSume they have POTUS figured out are fun to watch, getting their panties atwist.
Hear, hear.
See 109.
No I am not. I am very familiar with his style and he's now selling nation building. He'll keep it cutesy at first and then slam it home.
I voted for this man six times, happily, and it's starting to look like he lied. Very disappointing. .
“have defended MTG on many many occasions but that’s over. She’s dead to me. What a shallow moron”
Same. Either she is THIS dumb, THIS power hungry and thinks this is how she’ll get there, or bought and paid for. Maybe a combination of all three. .
Mhy reply to her
“I generally like you - but you turn a blind eye to all the deaths by Iran-sponsored terrorism - did you forget about Israeli babies and old women being raped and Americans being held hostage?
What do you think Iran would do if allowed nukes?
Get back to thinking with your head instead of your emotions”
Daniel Greenfield’s reply (he added some pics)
“Some Americans killed by Iran
Should I post all 1,241 pictures?”
I see over the top hysteria on her part.
We used weapons and equipment that Israel does not have on a one-time strike that Israel could not execute.
I don’t expect a repeat performance nor boots on the ground.
Trump got Israel over a speed bump and will let them take it from here.
I think she’s just dumb.
She’s got a point. Where’s the fervor and energy about the cartels?
He has become George Bush, destroyer of troops.
Reminds me of the old Black Pamther poster that said no Vietnamese ever called me a n!@##&.
“I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran..”
Then she’s an idiot. And so are you.
Thousands of Americans have been killed or injured by the Iranian government. The fact that she doesn’t “know” any of them is irrelevant and an incredibly stupid thing to say.
Maybe go visit a VA hospital or better yet Arlington National Cemetery.
Now take your pathetic ignorance somewhere else, both of you.

Better than being sick from radiation poisoning. My first thought also flashes to Beirut/marines. PDJT tried to avoid doing this. Certain previous administrations bear much responsibility leading to this action. But no way should we get into another 20 year debacle.
