Naw. They’re going to retaliate. Let’s hope it’s not an attack on US soil. We’re very vulnerable with the Biden border policy.
KABOOM!!!!!💥

North Korea has an arsenal of nukes, yet we manage that threat without preemptive strikes. Bombing Iran, who had no nukes, only gives them reason to build one. Escalation fuels proliferation. Strategy should follow evidence, not fear. The president got played by Israel. No new wars.
We just ended this “conflict” for lack of a better term. Or maybe more specifically, we facilitated the beginning of the end of Iran’s influence on the Middle East. It’s far more likely that we just ended a “forever war” than started one.

What does this have to do with anything? “A lot of people voted for Trump because they were tired of forever wars. Following the same failed path as Obama, Biden, and Bush isn’t leadership. It’s repetition. The truth is he didn't want to get involved, Israel pushed into a corner.
A vast majority of Iranians are pro-US. It’s the totalitarian regime from the dark ages that hates America.
What part of giving them 60 days to negotiate don't you get? This isn't President pudding brain and his trusty autopen.
Yes, and the world still spins. Trump is president now. He ran on ‘no new wars’. So why are we risking American lives over this? Or a greater conflagration we get mired in. Bringing up past presidents misses the point.
This isn't a new war. Iran has been killing Americans and its allies for 45 years. Time's up.
Do you think we didn’t know they try to retaliate? Do you think Israel didn’t know they’d try to retaliate if we agreed to intervene in such a manner? Do you think Israel and United States didn’t have a plan to neutralize those retaliatory strikes before agreeing to green light such strikes? If so you are a poor naive child…
My money says there will be no significant retaliation. Possibly something characterized as a pathetic half measure with no significant consequences. Mostly cause Iran has no capability to do more. This shit is over. Or at the least it’s the beginning of the end of Iran’s theocratic dictatorship.
If Iran is as reported, about to go active with nukes, are you saying you don’t think Iran would ever use them against the great satan? Are you sure?
Reported where,? The IAEA and even Tulsi Gabbard, who’s no dove, have said Iran does not have nukes. There's no verified intel saying otherwise. The USSR had thousands of warheads pointed at our glorious ass, but we beat them with liberty, military prowess and pop-culture, not preemptive strikes. If this is a proxy war, let’s be honest about it. But right now, it looks like we were baited, yet again, by Israeli pressure. Same playbook, different president. Look I have no love for Iran but call it what it is.
This is exactly why we need a strong military. To perform precision attacks in order to avoid future chaos. Props to our President for having the balls to eliminate another nuclear threat! I highly doubt any other major power is gonna respond to this. China is focused on a new US trade deal and Russia has enough shit to worry about.
Really doesn’t matter “if” Iran was willing to use their nukes. They would’ve used them to hold the Middle East hostage. The threat of nuclear war would allow them to spread their terrorist factions throughout the Middle East and spread Shia Islam throughout the region.
Currently the Middle East is about 80% suni Islam, which is generally the more “western” compatible sect or division of Islam. Iran’s leadership wants the entire Middle East to become tenents of Shia Islam and subject to Shria law. Once they achieve this, which is impossible, they wish to convert the world. These people should’ve been stopped years ago. This is long overdue.
That being said, nuke oragram needed to go…
good gravy, learn some history. The Shah was a brutal dictator that we put in place…. The replacement was unfortunately worse..
FYI, Trump was going to do the same thing under JCPOA until Israel forced his hand.. at least do some research, good gravy.. l
The October 7 operation, funded and planned by Iran, gave Israel and the United States a justifiable green light to end the Ayatollah’s tyrannical grip on the Iranian people. This is a beautiful day for the Iranian people.
Aren't you the same genius that said Trump had his own people shoot at him to gain votes? You're literally too stupid to insult.
I’m guessing this was posted as a reminder that when AOC and others attempt to impeach Trump, they will see how silly they look AGAIN for crying impeachment at the drop of a hat. I believe you missed that very important aspect of that tweet.
We just helped Israel end a war that’s been going on since 1980. We didn’t just start or join a “forever war”, we helped end one.
We pop the bubbly way too soon, and way too often:
Mission Accomplished, Iraq, 2003. No WMDs. Led directly to ISIS.
Gaddafi’s gone, Libya, 2011. Collapsed into civil war and chaos, open-air slave markets.
Moderates will win, Syria, 2012. Fueled a proxy hellscape. Another regime change, again,
Taliban defeated, Afghanistan, 2001. Twenty years later? They’re back in power.
We stabilized Yemen, Saudi-led strikes, 2015. Became a humanitarian catastrophe and regional mess. Houthis.
We keep falling into one of the classic blunders: “Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!” and more importantly, thinking we can stabilize the Levant!
Ok, we’ll revisit this in six months, maybe a year. This shit is over for the ayatollah.
There is no ending these religious wars. No point in getting involved. I don't know how many presidents we are going to have make the same mistake, but they just can't help themselves. Israel played Trump.
What a truly ignorant statement.
good lord what an ignorant statement
Our country and leaders can't, and don't, understand most of the world cultures. We think of the world in simplified terms. Doesn't work that way. Someone else just as, or more evil is going to fill the leadership vacuum in these countries.
Similar to funding Ukraine? Do you agree that was a complete waste of money and resources?
Our ally does nothing for us but create problems. It's amazing how easily people like you can get sucked up into the narrative of the week. Over half my life we have been fighting some sort of expensive middle eastern conflict. For what?
Shocking how a fiscal conservative such as yourself wouldn't see how we now get to fund Israel's holy war. Another deficit spending war. Brilliant.
Haha you speak outright sides of your mouth. You can’t be taken seriously. Just so funny reading the flipping you have done in here politically.
Ukraine is absolutely complex beyond our scope. Another part of the world that is based on surviving. I will always support democracy over communism, so no I dont think it's a waste, but there is also a limit when we have the debt we have.
Haha exact response I expected.
We should just go after North Korea, Russia, and China. War Hawks like yourself are now ready to fight! Isolationionism didn't even last 6 months. Haha
