    Assuming you're American, that's very easy for you to say. I'm thinking you might not think that if you lived in Gaza or Tehran or Kyiv Tel Aviv.

    Oh I don't know, something in the far reaches of my mind keep mumbling Iraq something something. That didn't go anywhere though, never does.

    Nope, you're right, T, that little skirmish didn't go anywhere. 
     
    Oh, and seanwon, as you probably also already know, thousands of guys and their buddies weren't killed or maimed or suffered with PTSD or eventually took their lives as a result of what they went through over in Iraq.  Hell no, of course none of that stuff happened.  "It never does."

    Oh, except maybe my very close family member who died by suicide as a result of that mess.  He was buried yesterday.

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I fear many more will suffer because of the stupidity of fuckhead and his ego.

    Seeing COOTWH, JD Byryder, Lil Marco Rube and Pig Seth at the podium while COOTWH blathered on about bombing Iran, I couldn’t help but think of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but then I saw Bibi and his taint licking and thought somehow the Fifth Horseman had peeled off. Quick, someone invite him to the White House for a victory gallop.

    In a matter of weeks, maybe days, the GOP has done a 180 on pro/anti war.
    I heard repeatedly during the campaign last year that, when Trump was president, "there were no wars." This was hilariously false. Aside from the fact that there were several wars being fought around the world when Trump was president, the United States was at war in Afghanistan for the entire length of Trump's first term.

    So they'll probably just claim this isn't a war.

    Once again, as they have done for Democratic and Republican presidents alike for the past eighty years, Congress has completely abdicated its responsibility to declare war.

    As much as I wished staying uninvolved to be one campaign “promise” he kept, the potus does get 90 days without congress, and I doubt he keeps it up that long, unless Iran attacks American soil. In that case getting a vote would be plausible. Let’s hope it’s over by then.

    for those getting angry at this, for good cause, this was all set in motion by Oct 7th, and enabled by Russia being tied up in Ukraine. And by trumps dumb decision to tear up the Iran nuclear treaty

    Pathetic I remember a poster saying that Biden’s administration was bringing us close to WWIII! 
    Here is a bit of trivia for you, who’s administration ended the nuclear deal in place that was brokered by the Obama administration if this was the Harris administration you’d be here screaming that the democrats want to start WWIII

    it was set in motion by israel's constant inability to solve its own problems. it can punch but when it gets punched back it runs to it's friends and gets them involved. we give them billions in weapons per year. that is enough.

    if we get hit by iran in a few months people are going to forget that we tore up the deal and attacked them first. just like some posters here believing everything between israel and hamas started on 10/7.

    From what I’ve read this morning, the Saudi’s have a pipeline so it won’t be as impactful as it maybe would have been in decades past.

    Top intel @repjimhimes told Sam Stein that he found out about the Iran strikes on Twitter. He followed with this message to Trump: “You don’t get to ignore the constitution”

    For decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the Iranian nuclear enterprise intolerable, both for Israel and for the world. “In many ways, Netanyahu is a flagrantly duplicitous politician; there is little he won’t say or do to maintain his coalition and his power,” David Remnick writes. “But he is right in this.” A nuclear-armed Iran would threaten Israel (which has had nuclear weapons for decades) and could provoke Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and others to pursue such a weapon, too. While the Israeli government absorbed international condemnation for its excesses and crimes in Gaza, its forces have defeated proxy militias and regimes throughout the region that have been bankrolled by Iran.

    This was the moment of weakness in Tehran that Netanyahu had been waiting for. In the past two weeks, Israel has eliminated the uppermost ranks of Iran’s military and intelligence leadership and of its nuclear scientists. But it did not take long for Netanyahu’s rhetoric and tactics to shift—from a focus on the attacks against military and nuclear sites to broader, more perilous ambitions. Netanyahu has hinted that he wants Donald Trump to dispatch American bombers. To avoid another conflict in the Middle East, “the American President will have to temper his worst impulses for a ‘quick win’ and negotiate,” David Remnick writes. But Trump is hardly a model of discernment. Read more: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/P131G8
