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.
Dragged into a war by Netanyahu?
She could go piss up a rope.
Agree.
Yet, she’s doubling down.
Her arguments fall flat. (As do the arguments of those who parrot same.)
Probably why she’s taking on so much backfire.
I know someone who was maimed by a Palestinian suicide bomber who was financed by Iran. Changed her life for sure. So I say, Iran’s terror network needs to leave this dimension.
She is too uneducated to even remember the Beirut bombings by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is Iran. They did the 1983 Beirut Marine barracks bombings.
The Two Wise Ones, MTG and RF, are sick of “foreign wars”.
Hitler and The Emperor think those two are quite right.
My father and Uncle who were both in the Dutch Underground and about to be hung just days before the German surrender not so much. Oh dear, I forgot about my Great Uncle who survived a Japanese POW camp thanks to the Americans. Then there is my Mother's brother who was killed by the Americans in Normandy. He was part of the not so voluntary Hitler Jugend. Not many of the Hitler Jugend survived the Allied Angriff in Normandy. War sucks no matter what side you're on. Although, it's infinitely better to be on the winning side, obviously.
It also helps when the US knew how to fight a war with Great Generals and a halfway intelligent government who knew how “nation build” a COMPLETELY destroyed Germany, Italy and a Nuked Japan.
Now under the Baby Boomer and GenX Leadership, we are Trillions in debt. Clueless on how to win wars and clueless on how to run a Welfare State, AKA the War on Poverty. Half the country wants everything for free and gets it. In addition to the War on Poverty free loaders, we import millions upon millions of illegals and give them FREE Everything. WW2 was the good war where it's estimated 60 million people died. According to MGT and RF all the other wars were bad except for maybe The War on Poverty. Unfortunately, the US has lost that war too. How many Trillions have we spent on The War on Poverty, MTG and RF? What do we have to show for it? Millions of illiterates who can't do basic arithmetic.
I am sick of Piss Poor Leadership from both the Legistrative and Executive Branches of Government. They have squandered Trillions of dollars with nothing to show for it. In short it's not just “foreign wars” that are the problem. The Government and we who elect The Government seem to be the problem.
You disgust me but apparently a lot of so-called FReepers seem to agree with you. Reading through some of these posts made me think I was on DU.
I have defended MTG on many many occasions but that’s over. She’s dead to me. What a shallow moron .
More stupid posing by Alberta’s Child.
Bkmk
It’s also scary how many people’s memories appear to be fogged over about the convoy of trucks out of Iraq into Syria during Operation Iraqi Freedom. (Those were just carrying powdered milk and such right?)
And, go back to class ....
Is this a joke? Iran is directly responsible for thousands of Americans deaths and disfigurement. They were trying to assassinate Trump and other U.S. officials.— 𝐃𝐁 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝕋𝕏 (@DBCooperTX) June 22, 2025
Our American hostages were held for 444 days.
They were subjected to unbelievable brutality and torture by Iranian psychopaths.
You might want to check in with the ones still alive for comment. This tweet is so outrageous that I almost didn’t reply but because I lived through the hostage crisis, I felt compelled to bitch slap you back into sanity.— Michael (@megamagaman2025) June 22, 2025
Thanks Pelosi.
As a woman, she lacks the ability to comprehend the reasons for bombing Iran. She becomes uncomfortable when she has to look beyond the perimeter of her rock
I hear the frustration and anger in her post. While I understand and empathize, she has lost the fundamental issue here. I agree with MTG. I side with her priorities. However none of it matters if we are struck by a nuclear attack. And if Israel had the capability to accomplish what the US just did, they would have. She knows that too.
President Trump was very concise, and it would do a lot of folks here on Free Republic good to stop, put aside their “stuff” and listen. Iran cannot have a nuke. It’s that simple.
I thank God daily President Trump is in office and that we are not dealing with a Harris presidency with Obama leading it and Clinton advising.
Disagree in private and agree in public. When will these people learn that?
It’s damn complicated....
But, you think MTG has it all figured out.
🙃
The “R” attention whooares are the ones who haven’t subscribed to that important principle.
One can agree with bombing the facilities and cut POTUS some slack.
But, Trump campaigned for four years on no more nation building and now he's changed his mind on this, too.
.
Alrighty then.
You don’t like our Constitution?
There are other countries with out it.
