I have no trouble finding a word to "name" your trolling of my posts. These insults need to stop.

That's a pretty serious accusation you just lobbed at a fellow monger.

I strongly suggest you curb your enthusiasm.

You're fooling nobody, brother.

The inference is clear. Rooster, and I say he is not the only one, would rather believe enemy propaganda. How many of you leftists have believed everything the media has thrown at you since 2015?

Even Fox News polling agrees we are less safe after starting this unnecessary, and quagmire of a war.

This is the second Republican Administration (Bush II) to start something in the Middle East that will take decades to get out of, and cost the lives of too many American servicemen and women, for nothing……just like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Funny how Trump says we have no money for taking care of the infrastructure of the country….social safety nets for the poor and sick….destroying public landmarks without any plans or approvals on how to reconstruct them……but there’s always plenty of money for wars and lavish parties for his cronies……

There was no imminent threat. Iran has only enriched to 60% U-235 (the radioactive isotope of Uranium) concentration. This amount would need to be enriched past 90% to make an atomic bomb.

According to the spokesman from Iran if what they have were to be enriched to 90% concentration there would be enough to make 10 nuclear bombs. It would take another year or two with all the high-speed centrifuges working 24/7 to get to 90% concentration. Remember most of the centrifuges were destroyed last June if you believe Trump and Hegseth. Two of the three Iran nuke plants were destroyed according to reports.

If what the spokesman from Iran in the video said was true, then there was not an imminent threat.

^^+1 sir..

well said.

Let’s call this what it really is.

Another stupid and deadly ploy by a sinking regime desperate to change the narrative by destroying other nations.

Iran is just the soup du jour. If Congress discovers the balls to stop him, he’ll move to attack another island … just not Epstein’s.

Of course Iran wasn’t anywhere near close to having a bomb. Witkoff was played and said “the secret words” the Earless Leader craved hearing.

I don't think Witkoff was played---I think he is complicit. I think he is exactly where Trump wants him and does what he is told.

So, you're willing to take a chance on some rogue regime getting a nuke.
How many times do we read about killing baby Hitler to save the Jews.
How about killing baby Islamic terror state to save the Jews?
Some of you know that the Jews are first on the list but America is second.

Imminent threat...where's does that begin? When your angry, criminal neighbor talks trash about you?
Or your angry, criminal neighbor kills your dog?
Or your angry, criminal neighbor is threatening your family?
How about when he says he getting his gun?
How about when he returns with his gun which may or may not be loaded?
Do you let him fire the first shot?
Or do you let him wound you so you are now convinced that he is a problem?

I argue that it begins....

When a Fascist who said "no new wars!" starts yet another one in one of the most unstable places on the planet.

When the Fascist cannot consistently articulate any clear reasons for starting it, nor clear objectives to end it.

When 10's of millions of his worshippers support this, no questions asked.

When some supporters pose weird, simplistic "questions" to illustrate poorly thought out rationale.

And when the dog...uses the angry neighbor's gun...

To shoot himself to escape this mindless idiocy.
