Iran Must Pay Us The Cost of the Drone Within 48 Hours or We Destroy All Of Their Military Aircraft

Iran would inflict real damage on us. They are no Iraq.

Do you really wish this on our military members and their citizens?

[yarddog]

That is a joke. Iraq was beginning to win against Iran and we beat Iraq in a few days.

[Kirkwood]

The reason drones exist is that they are meant to be expendable. The cost of that drone is peanuts, and it served its mission, providing invaluable information.

[yarddog]

$123,000,000.00 is not peanuts.

[Bommer]

BS. Iran has nothing that can’t be wiped out in a matter of hours. You honestly think that there is someone on the Democrap side that is a better military leader for people to dump Trump? Lay off the bong.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yup.

And the deep state could screw things up enough to make it so that it afects his re-election chances.

[Robert DeLong]

There's no rush. We can obliterate them on very short notice if that becomes necessary. Besides, I do not hear anyone really clamoring that we need to strike Iran, except for those who believe that President trump doing so would cost him support. Besides it's being reported that we launched a major cyber-attack that disabled Iranian computer systems used to control rocket and missile launches. For right now that is response enough.

I have faith that President Trump will play his cards right on this issue.

This is just another way of saying you want a war.

Are you Bill Kristol’s alternate?

> $123,000,000.00 is not peanuts.

Compared to the cost of the shortest and most inexpensive war conceivable, it doesn’t even rise to the level of a rounding error.

[lastchance]

Really the best response. Tacticians and strategists all.

[9YearLurker]

Agreed. A potential twofer.

[steve86]

A $130 million drone is not expendable and $130 million is not peanuts. Cost of several fighters. You’re badly informed or nuts.

[Widget Jr]

So when 48 hours passes and the President has not ordered Iran attacked, what then?

Nope. We keep doing what we've been doing since Trump took office - choke the life out of Iran with sanctions and financial pressure. A major military engagement with Iran would force Iranians who hate their regime to support the regime, would cost us even more blood and treasure than we've spent in Iraq over the last 20 years, and would probably put Joe Biden in the WH next year.

F*** the drone.

[100American]

So glad You are not President

[Jim Noble]

I get it that the President has to have the authority to take us to war if missiles are inbound.

But war with Iran is exactly the situation wherein the people’s representatives (House) and the states representatives (senate) MUST have yes or no authority.

We have never lost a war declared by our Congress. We have never won a war that wasn’t.

And there’s a reason for that.

[Jim Noble]

“Iran is a cancer on the world and it must be excised“

Nonsense.

Iran is, potentially, a mortal threat to Israel. That’s it.

Iran is not now and cannot become in the future a serious threat to the United States.

[yarddog]

So you think being the number one sponsor or terrorism in the world is nothing. You think hundreds of Americans both military, civilian and agents killed is nothing.

I don’t.

[enduserindy]

The concern isn’t conventional military. It is unconventional and proxy forces that are. A real war with Iran won’t be like it was with Iraq.

[bkopto]

Let’s see. $120M drone vs upcoming lost American lives and a lost 2020 election.

I can see it now: The nightly “grim toll” body count on CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, etc. Trump would lose 2020.

This is another deep state scam to take out Trump.

Haven’t we learned any lessons by now?
