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.
Today, the United States is sanctioning three Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) officials involved in the abduction, detention, and probable death of former FBI Special Agent Robert A. Levinson. MOIS has a history of wrongfully detaining U.S. nationals and has been designated across various sanctions programs.

Brian Glenn came out on RAV as very supportive of what President Trump did.
There may be some trouble in Paradise in the MTG/Glenn household.
I don't think I would sic Massie on MTG.
He is utterly hopeless, there is still hope for her.
Hating W induces amnesia
No, MTG is living in Mirror Land, narcistically relishing the way she looks. She is not really somebody but fancies herself as the conservative AOC.
She is in reality, nobody
I guess better (very) late than never?
“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.”
The war on drugs has been lost. This needs to be accepted by families and politicians.
Addicts need to be able to get a reliable supply of FDA regulated quality drugs.
An employer might provide a morning fix, a midday fix, an evening fix and a take-home night fix.
The employer might have a workplace and housing complex in a rural or otherwise isolated place.
Addiction system employers should have to offer a methadone tapering program.
🤣😂🤣😂
Really?!!!!
Or we could just shoot them and save a lot of money.
That is exactly what I said to my hubby this morning.
And the Bannon's and the MTG's would be screaming the loudest.
“I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran”
“in America”
There are quite likely over half a million American citizens living in Israel.
They don’t wear beanies capable of deflecting Iranian missiles.
“The Untouchables” circa 1960 portrayed an addict working as an auto mechanic and one working as a musician.
... I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran ...
I do, he was a marine, and was killed in the Beirut bombing.
Not that we should be in endless wars, but sometimes we have to be realistic. How do you negotiate with an entity whose going in argument is “Death to America”?
Every president from GWB on has stated that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. DJT took action.
One might ask, who are we to dictate to a sovereign nation, and that is a valid question. But again, how do you negotiate with an entity whose going in argument is “Death to America”?
I would submit that taking out the enrichment facilities was a negotiating tactic.
Iran has been targeting in US personnel in the Middle East both military and civilian for 45 years!
Remember the plane that was hijacked by Hezbollah and they killed Robert Stethem a Navy Seal who was just a passenger.
Agree 100%
MTG doubles down....

I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises.
And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises:
NO MORE FOREIGN WARS.
NO MORE REGIME CHANGE.
WORLD PEACE.
And THIS is what the people voted for.
Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3.
It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!
After the bombs were dropped, we were told “complete success” and Iran’s nuclear capabilities were totally wiped out.
Then it quickly turned to Iran’s nuclear facilities “partially damaged” and now it’s “we don’t know where their enriched uranium is.”
Let me be very clear.
My children are 22, 25, and 27.
I will literally fight ANYONE for their future.
And their future and their entire generation’s future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR.
I am FIGHTING for them to have a future where they can afford to buy a home, afford insurance, invest for retirement, enjoy life, retain their God given freedoms, afford to raise a family under their Christian faith, not be in debt, safety and security, AND NOT HAVE OUR OWN TAX PAYER FUNDED GOVERNMENT DESTROY IT ALL.
Contrary to brainwashed Democrat boomers think and protest about, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and I can and DO have my own opinion.

“$37 trillion”
The defense budget is about $1 trillion/year.
The raid cost far less.
It was probably done to cap the number of bombs Iran could build and cut the rate it could build them at.
It is now a matter of getting Iranian leaders to fork over their high-percentage U-235, their centrifuges and to shut down a possible reactor-based plutonium pathway to bombs.
Hopefully, Israel’s leadership reduction program in Iran will increase the reasoning ability of the remaining Iranian leaders.
The alternative probably would have been an Israeli nuclear weapon being used on Fordow.
The fallout would have been greater and not all of it radioactive.
