Agree.
We have no choice but to watch what the guy we elected does.
Why weaken him with all the hand wringing, Iran is watching and Trump does not want war.

I do believe that if there was a strike on Iran that, Trumps doctrine would demand it be effective and a positive for America.

Trump is listening to Pompeo and believing the photos.

All information has come from the military and ‘intelligence community.’

Did IQs at FR drop suddenly due to onset of summer heat?

I call BS on the premise that Iran attacked a Japanese tanker while their PM was in Tehran. I call BS on Iran sending a boat (without a flag, btw) in BROAD DAYLIGHT to remove a mine which could be attributed to ANYONE. I call BS that this was the Iranian government’s official actions. Rogue elements, perhaps. But in the era of deep-fake AI videos and what I view as a false flag vortex to suck Trump into a lose-lose situation which will later backfire, I’m astonished so many here are falling for it, hook/line/sinker.

I’m no fan of the Iranian regime, but I’m having severe deja vu of a couple of animations produced by our ‘intelligence community’ (’zoom climb’ and ‘mobile chemical labs’)...

Fire away, but I’m not responding.

"I have met a few generals.

How many have you met?

Most military men want to avoid war.

The idea the military pushes for war is a myth.
"

I did not meet many generals ('cause bravo: _B_). Agreed that the myth from the conspiracy theory mongers and Iranians is a myth. We don't want to start wars, but we will finish them.

Iran is trying to start a war--not the U.S.A. If the mullahs must be brought down to defend the U.S.A., it will be done. And Iran will likely be denazified.

Denazification, cumulative review. Report, 1 April 1947-30 April 1948.

We have yet to make war without marketing of propaganda. It’s always BS.

or - they may get a better feel for what the President wants and make plans that deter rather than escalate...a worthy General doesn’t desire needless bloodshed any more than the rest of us.
