The US is in no position to enact regime change in Iran. We can’t afford another war, there’s no public support for one, we don’t have sufficient ground troops in place, and Russia & China have suggested that they won’t allow this to happen. It would also be the end of Trump’s presidency if he decides to go that route. I mean this is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he promised during his campaign. It’s like if he came out and said “well deporting all these illegals is too much of a hassle and we will just arrest a few criminal illegals instead”. It’s bait and switch and most of MAGA ain’t falling for it.
In every 80 / 20 situation, Trump takes the 80 position and the Rats automatically, with no thought at all, always take the 20 position. Fantastic. I appreciate the Rats always willing to blindly take the 20 position every single time.
To be fair, he was was insinuating that Putin is “The Boss” of Russia and not Medvedev.
>> Ya know, if I was a Democrat I probably would just support America and call it good
That’s how it was done, “back in the day”. Democrats believed in American exceptionality and stood by her in time of crisis. R and D disagreed about many things, but not about that very important thing.
Democrats (and weak Republicans) since Reagan trashed AIG (”America Is Great”). At their core, they were misguided cowards ashamed of America and they set out to destroy her, some subconsciously, but many, explicitly.
Hence the need and rousing success of MAGA (”Make America Great AGAIN”). Thank you GOD for raising up President Trump “for a time such as this”!
Agreed.
How odd that the anti-gun left wants Iran to have ‘em.
And the Anti-Nuke crowd....................
I think he was also slamming Springsteen, which, fair. But I don’t get all the N-word stuff, that’s not funny.
Do you find a distinction between
1) enacting regime change (boots on ground) and
2) supporting regime change (ie. supporting Israel who clearly wants regime change) ?
Or, dropping flyers advising Iranian support for regime change. Or monetarily, or other means short of troops in country.
If the prison that was bombed results in the jailed freedom-loving revolutionaries who could lead regime change its another genius move by Israel.
Iran poses no danger to the US (or even Israel for that matter). Israel has 300+ nukes. Even if Iran manages to acquire a handful themselves it would be suicidal for Iran to attack Israel with them. Israel basically wants regional hegemony and intends to use the US armed forces to achieve that goal if possible. Russia and China have indicated that they don’t intend to stand idly by if we go to war with Iran. Sorry but I’m not interested in starting WW3 to placate the Israelis.
Salient point!
Do you think that the country that revolutionized the use of suicide vests through their proxies in Hesbollah and Hamas cares about a "suicidal" attack against Israel?

I’ve yet to see a mullah in a suicide vest and they are the ones in charge.
They are fine with using their own people as weapons and using their own people as human shields.
I think their leaders believe that they have getaway plans once they launch a successful nuclear attack on Israel, so that they personally won't feel the retaliation, but they don't care what happens to the people of Iran once they attain their ultimate goal.

“That would be a very one-sided war.............”

Only the conventional part. Iran has many of its minions still available around the world.
This is also the same thing pro-war people say every single time we get into a war somewhere. It never turns out as tidy as your statement suggests.
Think how much you must hate the President to root for people whose sole goal in life is to kill you.
