Yeah, putting Iran on our plate along with Iraq would have been a great idea. This isn’t a board game…

If you switched “Israel” with the name of any other country the US has a century long relationship with, you would be cheering them on for be willing to pay the price without demanding US intervention
Iran has killed thousands of Americans and is the kingpin of global terrorism. This is not Iraq, we know for a fact they had a nuclear program. They boast about it all the time and told our own envoy that they had enough materiel to make 11 nukes (whether true if they actually did or not is irrelevant if they are claiming it)

We aren't the only country here. We are part of a greater globe. Iran having nuclear weapons is dangerous to everyone, including Russia and China. Iran has been directing terrorist proxies across the globe for decades. Imagine if those terrorists had nuclear weapons. Imagine if Iran had 20,000 missiles and 1000 launchers. And they then decided to make nuclear weapons. Those missiles could overcome any defensive system and the results would've been awful. So bad at that point that they would be protected from stopping nuclear enrichment. That country can't have nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles. If we wait too long they will have both. And that doesn't just frick Israel, it fricks the world. This is not Israel's problem alone. This is the entire world's problem.
John Bolton?? Is that you??

It’s amazing how myopic you guys view things just because propaganda tells you what to think.

The reason we wound up here is because of indecisiveness decades ago.

Was it not the British and the Russians who installed the Shah?

Was Israel going to go at it alone?
I really think they had to strike when they did.
They knew it could turn into a suicide mission if the USA didn't fully back them up.
Fortunately, Trump has the stones to go after these evil terrorists the right way - where they are - on our terms - with resolve to finish the job.

But Trump said the strikes last year completely wiped out Iran’s nuclear research facilities. If that’s the case haven’t we eliminated the threat to the US at that point??
Their facilities may indeed have been wiped out. Or maybe they weren't and we only said they were in order to not reveal what we know and don't know.
But let's assume their facilities were wiped out.
That doesn't mean they don't still possess the uranium they had already enriched. Supposedly it was up to 60%. It would take approximately two weeks to get it up to 90% if they can obtain more centrifuges. They'd also still have the capability to create dirty bombs with what they have already.

Well the president campaigned on no new wars and continues to lie to MAGA. A majority of the podcasters that supported him have jumped ship.
I don't disagree.
But I find it refreshing that Trump is able to be pragmatic rather than a hard-core idealist. I don't think he wanted to do this. But sometimes we all have to do unpleasant things that we don't want to do... even when it may cause pain to ourselves. I am cautiously optimistic about this whole thing. One thing that's somewhat comforting is that Trump plays to win. He doesn't play to not lose.

Remember when North Korea having nuclear weapons was the end of the world? Guess what it wasn’t. Having a nuclear weapons means the US doesn’t invade you.

Playing to win is boots on the ground you know that right?
