I wonder.
Since we hold all the cards... do we just need to enforce the existing sanctions and initiate more?
No need for fighting... unless THEY provoke
I have been wondering my whole life why we haven’t leveled that God forsaken country!
Wasn’t it always? /rhetorical
We owe them a punch in the nose for what happened in 79’. Trump knows it and will make them pay.
We can only keep it under the rug for so long, sadly enough.
Iran shipped all its 20 percent enriched uranium out of the country, shut down most of its centrifuges, and allowed intrusive inspections of all nuclear facilities. Even before the deal, 17 U.S. intelligence agencies said they could find no evidence of an Iranian nuclear bomb program.
War with Iran was always inevitable. Anybody who ever believed otherwise was only fooling themselves.
I used to like Buchanan.
But he has become an isolationist that thinks it is in our best interest to ignore everything else on the planet, no matter how much they threaten us, call for our destruction, and plot against us.
Iran has been fighting a proxy war with us for nearly 30 years, and has constantly been calling for our destruction the entire time.
But Pat thinks it perfectly OK to allow them to dominate the region and export war and destruction all over the globe.
I’m sorry, maybe my memory is foggy. Who bombed our Marines in Beirut? Who took our embassy personnel hostage? Who was behind the bombing of the Khobar Towers? Who recently seized our sailors in the Persian Gulf? Who actively supports terrorism around the world?
War with Iran?!?! They are certainly at war with us. But hey, Pat Buchanan doesn’t think so.
Why don’t we just surrender? That’s what obozo would do. Send them some more cash and appease them for a while. It has worked so well with North Korea over the years.
Because the day we do there will be no longer any effective local counterweight to a Sunni hegemony and a likely militant expansionist caliphate.
They've done mean actions against us for sure, but we aren't without sin either in this relationship.
Provide the means for the freedom loving people in Iran to topple the evil Mullah Islamic regime in Iran.
Ronald Reagan only provided air support to topple Marcos in the Philippines.
Give them air support and logistics support.
didn’t begin in 1979?
Donald Trump was elected president because Americans are tired of this sh!t. The proof of it is that Yeb Bush was the GOP front-runner in 2016 and turned out to be less popular than Osama bin Laden among Republican voters.
A bunch of BS. We have been at war with Iran since the Islamic revolution. We just ignored it.
Iran is using Venezuela’s narco/terrorist government to utilize cartel drug routes into the US. Drugs, weapons, human traffic and terrorists have been streaming accross the border for years.
Guns used for “Fast and Furious” have been found in terrorist attacks in Europe.
I can’t believe there are people on this thread appoligizing for thier behaviour.
Let me add, we didn’t lose on Syria or Kurdistan. Actually, the GCC won, with our backing.
The paradigm has shifted. We are no longer taking the lead in these conflicts. We now work with our allies to help them solve thier own problems. Then we leave.
The Iran problem will be solved by middle east states. We will be there to help them. The same will happen with North Korea btw.
Problem is elect another Obama and the sanctions go unenforced or even reversed. Frankly Iran is a side region of Russia-China axis of evil which I do not care much if they have a nuke because Russia and China already have thousands of them. What is needed is to make a point of stationing small nuke rockets in Kuwait and fck the whole lot them with it until they withdraw Iran for inspections.
It seems we have not learned from the success of Cuban crisis.
