Rand’s been pissing me off lately but on this i agree with him. Trump isn’t dumb enough to turn into G W MORON.

Calling posters “crazies” isn’t helpful.

Knock it off.

No one’s asking him to vote on bombers either.

Destroy Iran. Rand can sit this out. We aren’t sending troops. Bombs and missiles have absolutely destroyed the jihadi leadership already.

I was mostly referring to twitter but have you seen the abuse I’ve had last few days?

No one is talking about American military personnel being sent to Iran.

So Rand can rest easy.

And shut the hole under his nose while he’s at it.

Rand Paul: "I will not vote to send one American soldier to Iran. Not one"

John Podhoretz, who has three fighting-age kids in Ivy-league colleges, will not be happy about this.

Im hoping Israel will deploy special forces and capture those nuke sites and remove everything radio active. Then blow up everything else left there. There will still be doubts if Iran moved stuff. But its a start. Burying it underground just means someone can dig it up again within a year and start over.

Bombs and missiles work well for destroying the first 75%. The remaining 25% mop-up operations always require boots on the ground.

And it's always these mop-up operations that turn into quagmires.

Every time.

We aren’t sending boots on the ground, just big bombs carried by the Jews, what’s so hard to understand?

This ain’t Iraq.

It’s also a huge country let us not forget

Like 5 x the size of Iraq/Afghanistan

LMAO, no doubt they will say it’s a ‘cakewalk’, easy, let’s go, etc.

War is never so predictable or easy going...

It’s not feasible to put boots on the ground in Iran. Iran is a fortress with treacherous mountain ranges blocking entry from multiple borders. It would be a blood bath to try and put soldiers on the ground, and I don’t see any scenario where President Trump would agree to it.

Meanwhile, Trump sounds almost ready to expel Gabbard from his cabinet:

It’s years away I don’t think he’s politicking

What does he gain. He’s had nothing but grief for opposing OBBB

And one hasn’t been sent. He can yap about it when one is in Israel. However, Trump has been clear about this for 20 years. No nukes in Iran. He is starting to sound like a surrender monkey. I wish this country would grow some balls for a change. We should have laid them flat after the first funded terrorist killed a single American. However, years of this patty cake and allowing it to go on for decades has created a weak and feeble country that is A ok with nation backed terrorists killing Americans.

I, personally, have sent a strongly worded email to President Trump
demanding US spy satellites assisting Israel be immediately removed
or permanently repositioned.
