the boogieman that's going to get us if we don't act now.We simply need to keep pushing back.....Trump didn’t start the war, Iran did. They were a week away from having nukes and were bragging about using it.
Let’s be clear, Iran started this.......in 1979.
“””Let’s be clear, Iran started this.......in 1979.””””
And I have listened to every President since then say something needs to be done about it. None of them did anything except talk about it. Once again civilian Trump has to clean up the mess created by politicians.
Neither of those things is remotely true.
The CIA started this in 1953.
the boogieman that's going to get us if we don't act now.Let's be clear, not once did Trump, during his first term, say that Iran is at war with the United States.
Other than the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, how did Trump during his first term prosecute this war that you claim has been going on since 1979?
Iran has been a belligerent sponsor of terrorism for DECADES. Previous administrations, including Reagan, have treated them with kid gloves, which only encouraged them in their belligerence.
It was finally time to take the gloves off.
According to Netanyahu, Iran has been on the verge of having nukes for the past 30 plus years.
Really? What were the Algiers Accords of 1981 all about?
Trump didn’t do anything during his first term.
By the way, the United States and Britian started it in 1953. Eisenhower (republican) and Churchill overthrew the Iranian government. This was one of the causes of the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
Another FR poster that isn’t aware of the CIA operation AJAX.
In short the UK started this and got us involved.
Iran started this in 492 BC at which time they were one week away from having nuclear weapons.
IIRC, only 10% stood in support of the American revolution.
###They were a week away from having nukes...###
You hit the nail on the head!
Every choice has unstated side effects and a rejection of an alternative option.
One who chooses low gasoline prices, or egg prices, etc., also chooses a nuclear Iran that would be glad to help him glow in the dark.
To those who disagree with him President Trump only says, “We will never let Iran have nuclear weapons.” (Which is true.) I would prefer him to say, “I did something far better than low gasoline prices, or even high gasoline prices, I saved your TOKAS from becoming radioactive plasma!”
Are you implying that Trump lied back in 2025?

Trump really does need to learn when to be quiet.
