We do business and are even allies with countries that are just as bad. This war makes no sense and will bankrupt us Iran agreed to all of our demands regarding nuclear weapons. The most logical explanation is somebody has videos of Trump with Epstein's kids.

Edit: Now Rubio has explained we attacked because Israel's leader said they were going to attack with or without us, and with hundreds of thousands of Americans still in the region, we had to join in to weaken Iran because Israel was putting all those Amercian lives at risk from the expected counterattacks..So we were blackmailed into it another way.

How does this relate to mystery shopping?

Luv, this is General Chat, it's for subjects other than mystery shopping.

Regardless, only Congress has the authority to declare war, last time I checked, except in cases of national security.

Pretty sure they were not involved with this, and this is not a matter of national security.

Just another instance of the Yuge Orange Sh•tstain violating the Constitution.

And there are total f•cking morons throughout this land that claim to support both. Too bad cognitive dissonance is not terminal.

This stinking turd of a country continues to circle down the drain.

I think this was the least costly way to get rid of the nuclear threat. The bottom line is there isn’t one now. Our military deserves all of the credit, not Rump. What they did shocked the world. Look how much Afghanistan cost us in lives and debt because we thought we had to ask the world’s permission. That took away the element of surprise, which is the only way to get rid of mass murdering terrorists who live like rodents. Then plan B was to lie to the American people. ‘He tried to kill my dad.’ Remember that? Who was complaining about the multiple excuses back then? The Bush’s were just as cozy with the Saudis as the current family in power and just as self serving. The only question was what junior expected to get out of it, an endless supply of Macallen scotch? That war cost us trillions and accomplished nothing. Time for a different tact.

Israel is the eyes and ears and this would not have come about or been successful without them. Most likely the ground troops will come from Israel. They have all the experience they need now. If they can get to the drone attackers it will be a done deal. Nothing will make up for how far they took it in Palestine, but it’s a start.

The thing to look for is the charming leader who will rise to power after the dust settles. Supposedly the 3rd antichrist.

Coolmusic ~ Rump will be shut down by midterms. The most he’ll be able to fit in will be Cuba before he will no longer be in charge of the military. Iran had already built up enough to do major damage and that wouldn’t have stopped. Getting a senile geezer out of power is always a good thing. Especially one that gets distracted by gold drapes.

How convenient that we recently secured a new arrangement for Venezuelan oil and now this....it's the timing.

Oil is so 90’s. They want the fast $ crypto grift. Can’t wait for that to blow up in their faces.

Pepperidge farms remembers 20 years of afghanistan. The usa has always lost out when it played the kingmaker game. this will be the second time we have messed around with iran. oh yeah. also iranian flight 665. the people who learn from history are doomed to watch others repeat it. and we bombed 2 schools. just coming out with investigations pointing to that. 175 people dead. most girls aged 7-12.

Cool dude: I remember Afghanistan and the approach to war with them was completely different than this one. You are right only in that it was a miserable failure for that reason. There was no ‘kingmaker’ attempt other than to try to find a non-radical leader, which also backfired.
Try watching CNN or the BBC if you want no slant to buy into. They report exactly what’s going on and what can be authenticated. Iran WAS very close to nuclear capability that they WEREN’T GOING TO GIVE UP. It’s not hard to believe that they were stalling either. What was the alternative? There wasn’t going to be a free $ reward this time. They thought they had nothing to lose and rolled the dice. They never dreamed that this would happen b/c they thought there was no support for it.

The mission was to take away their nuclear capability. The mission was accomplished. Clean up on aisle 8 will be over before midterms. We owe them nothing. The world can thank us for taking that threat away. I know I sleep much better knowing they have no nukes. We are not obligated to prop up their gov’t. They will never have a democracy b/c they refuse to grant women equal rights, which will come at their own peril. It’s not our problem, just no more radical Islamic fundamentalists at the helm. If they don’t like it, tough sh*t.

I thought we had already destroyed their nuclear capabilities in the previous attack. At least Trump said so. But seriously, Iran has never been very close to nuclear capability. Maybe years away, but never months or weeks. All the experts agree.

In the current round, Iran had already agreed to give ALL of their enriched uranium to the United States. They agreed to never pursue a nuclear weapon, to never stockpil enriched uranium, and to allow outside monitors unlimited access to verify all this. That was the alternative.

And they did dream this would happen, and were ready for it. May not help them any, but they are dug in, with standing orders to keep fighting if the leaders are killed. They are fanatics. We are running out of interceptor missiles. We have pulled back missile defenses from the oil states to protect Israel. The oil states see this, and going forward are not likely to be such eager allies. China is waiting with open arms.

We can probably turn Iran back to the Stone Age. But will it have been worth the hundreds of billion of dollars and lost American lives? Not to mention the horror inflicated on other human beings, and the loss of moral leadership in the world. What do we get out of it? They were never a serious threat to us.

I’m sorry, but you sound like a rumpster in sheep’s clothing who’s mad about how I make fun of the GOP. Therefore you’ll go against anything I say. The BS meter went off immediately due to your total lack of knowledge of what you assume a lib would think. You don’t have the slightest clue. LOL! At best it makes you sound like a delusional ultra lib who has suffered a severe news blackout. Even the libs know and admit that the nuclear threat is real and common knowledge over the past few administrations.

Iran reneged on the last deal they were ever going to get, which Kerry and the Obama administration negotiated. You must think babysitting them doesn’t cost a ton of money. It’s also common knowledge that Iran is in bed with Putin, who will eventually give them what they want to punish the US for cutting off their oil. Iran will ALWAYS be a threat. NOBODY believed rump when he said the attack destroyed their uranium. Nobody was monitoring their activity the whole time they were pulling arms from those mountains prior to the first attack.

Israel and the US military has more knowledge than you do about how close they were. All of the military leaders past and present deemed it necessary and a complete success. Sadly a few non-combat US service members lost their lives by an Iranian drone strike. Similar terrorist attacks have happened dozens of times with various attacks over the years. What about the 30,000 citizens assholla killed recently? Don’t they count? If that wasn’t a bad omen I don’t know what is. If the old guard think they’re going to pick their own leader now they’re out of their minds. The US isn’t going to waste all of this money to get rid of him only to put a clone in charge. When they’re done blowing their load their main concern will be how not to starve and that Benny will show some mercy. It would be a big mistake to arm Israel again in the hope that he will exercise some restraint. He won’t.

On a side note - I’m sick of hearing the spoiled, entitled US citizens stuck there whining to reporters that the Gov’t isn’t providing them shuttle service. There have been travel advisories not to go there for YEARS. If they have the funds for a luxury vacay to Dubai, they can find a way to get their own asses home. If they went there for a relative’s birthday, they can extend their stay and get themselves home on their own dime. Why should others risk their lives and pay for these morons? I think they honestly expected that the military was going to text them first to say that a surprise attack is imminent. LOL!

if you take away a democratically elected leader in favor of a non elected one. if you blow up an airliner full of civilians. if you blow up a school of 150 children... which the usa has done to Iran. no wonder they want a nuke.

you are literally talking about multiple generations of people that hate us for incredibly valid reason. this is literally giving billions of funds to russia via spiking oil prices world wide.

If the US is responsible for those 2 incidents it was obviously due to human error. Compare that with the 1,000+ US citizens randomly and intentionally killed by Iran and its proxies since the Shah’s assassination. And that doesn’t include 9/11 or their own people.

Since you sympathize so much and support them, you shouldn’t have a problem wearing a women’s hijab, niqab and a jilbab every day in 105 degree heat.

Let that sink in for a minute sparky.

whatabout ism is a classic fallacy. in three. not two major instances the usa made drastic mistakes when dealing with Iran. the facts remain they hate us for valid reasons. our actions are having incredibly real conseguences like giving russia billions of dollars. full stop.

As difficult as it is to face, the reality of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons absolutely needed to be addressed. We live in the present and the Middle East in general lives in the past - which cannot be changed. This is why they can’t get past all of the feuding. Do you honestly think that Iran wouldn’t have tried to take over the region the minute they got a nuke? The US has to deal with ‘clear and PRESENT danger’ without taking past feuds into account. In killing thousands of innocent people over the past 2 decades due to their misplaced rage, they have demonstrated they are capable of horrendous acts and cannot be trusted. Look at what they’re doing to their supposed allies currently?

It Asshola Jr. is still alive, he won’t negotiate or relinquish power. Attempting that is futile. The problem is Putin defanged Rump a long time ago, which will continue to be a quagmire with this war. Although our military was fit to perform the mission, Rump is hamstrung, which ultimately puts the onus on the US to finish it. Nobody will support us except Israel. I say back out for now because another similar strike can be achieved at any time. The threat of that should keep that mole in check. Rebuilding their arms will take a while. Let Putin be the bad guy for supporting them and arming them, which he has a history of doing. Let Europe and the rest of the region deal with him for a while instead of leaning on us. If we can help Iran rebuild along the way, fine.

The US gets less than 2% of their oil from that region. We don’t need them. I do everything I can not to support the US oil companies. No need to raise gas prices here. They need to be heavily sanctioned for price gouging and not supporting our global interests.

On some level Rump knows how dangerous Putin is, or else he wouldn’t be trying so hard to lock down the weak spots closer to us like Cuba, Greenland and S America. I think we know now what he meant in saying the Ukraine war never would have happened. The ‘Epic Fury’ (no doubt coined by Haggis) would have come about back then.
