Time for the US to go full diplomatic efforts and get the F out of the region - Quest4twelve - 1:56pm 7/19/26 (41) [View All]
- Far, far better to allow Iran to collect a Strait of Hormuz tax than to escalate - Chris94 - 7:07pm 7/19/26
- Silly you think we attacked Iran unprovoked, but expected. - iairishcheeks - 3:38pm 7/19/26
  - To be fair don’t you think the nuke should be on its way before we consider the threat imminent? - Kalc - 10:16pm 7/19/26
  - Did you also enjoy the war in Iraq? Same shit was said then. - Chris94 - 7:09pm 7/19/26
    - A lot of dumbasses think this is like Iraq. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 7:30pm 7/19/26
      - Look at your list. Tell me which did not apply to Iraq, according to the neocons. And you. [NT] - Chris94 - 9:20pm 7/19/26
        
        Iraq is better off today for the Iraqis, but this isn't the Iraq War. - iairishcheeks - 10:14pm 7/19/26
        
        Except, presumably, for the 200K dead ones. And the 4500 Americans. [NT] - Chris94 - 11:14pm 7/19/26
        
        It was actually more like a million Iraqis and it never should have happened. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 11:31pm 7/19/26
  - It was unprovoked. Under any scenario , make the case to Congress. - conorlarkin - 5:23pm 7/19/26
    - Getting approval from Congress would have been the better path. - iairishcheeks - 6:03pm 7/19/26
      - Getting approval from Congress was the only legal path. - conorlarkin - 6:59pm 7/19/26
        
        "unprecedented" nope, it's just like the others. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 7:32pm 7/19/26

        I positively live for these moments. They could be justifying throwing trillions down the drain - MAS - 8:22pm 7/19/26
        
        Old, tired talking points. Just because the right have a moniker as conservative they govern - Quest4twelve - 8:52pm 7/19/26
  - No justification, whatsoever...for starting this war... - TyroneIrish - 5:20pm 7/19/26
  - What was the immediatel reason other than "47 years of history "? - Quest4twelve - 4:37pm 7/19/26
    - 47 years of attacking the US is not enough justification? - NedoftheHill - 8:45pm 7/19/26
      - Your mind is so warped that you see my post as defending Iran. I brought up our service members. [NT] - Quest4twelve - 8:54pm 7/19/26
        
        Do you want the US to withdraw and give up? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 9:01pm 7/19/26
        
        What's the end game and what does the US gain? [NT] - Quest4twelve - 9:25pm 7/19/26
        
        You're so transactional... [NT] - iairishcheeks - 10:33pm 7/19/26

        I provided 5 reasons. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 6:57pm 7/19/26
  - Excellent post. Concise. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 4:25pm 7/19/26
- A colossal, unlawful, and unnecessary clusterfuck created by Trump. - conorlarkin - 2:46pm 7/19/26
  - You Dem left lunkheads wanted this mission to fail from the start. TDS. [NT] - ELP - 3:35pm 7/19/26
    - One thing Level Headed Americans didn't want was for DJT to rip up the very successful JCPOA...and - TyroneIrish - 3:54pm 7/19/26
      - You're still living in a pipedream. Rinse & repeat wont make it so. [NT] - ELP - 5:29pm 7/19/26

        If you had anything, you'd be more than happy to show it...but you don't, so you avoid the question. - TyroneIrish - 10:21pm 7/19/26
        
        You are a broken record. Fact is, if you & the Dem left support it, it isn't good for our security. - ELP - 11:52pm 7/19/26
        
        Inconvenient Truth for you...the JCPOA worked as advertised...IAEA inspectors were on the ground in - TyroneIrish - 4:54am 7/20/26
        
        You can goose step to your truths all you want. Repeating them won't make them reality. - ELP - 12:05pm 7/20/26
- You need to be put on a pitch count. You - ColeyO - 2:12pm 7/19/26
