Attacking Cultural Sites

Trump warns Iran: US has targeted '52 Iranian sites' and will 'hit very fast and very hard' if needed

I choose FoxNews to hopefully avoid the "that site sucks" debate.

What is your view of targeting cultural sites?

Is that not what ISIS did? Do we really want to copy their tactics?

Also, there are a large number of people in Iran that do not agree with what their leaders are doing, but start blowing up their heritage sites and we will galvanize them against us instead of against their leaders.

I say it is a terrible idea.
“…we will galvanize them against us instead of against their leaders.”

That’s already happened, the consequence of Trump’s reckless, irresponsible, and hostile anti-Iranian rhetoric.

The Iranian people will always support their hardline government when that government is attacked by the West – and by Trump in particular.
 
Lee is a traitor and a loser. Kinda like you ;)
Lincoln was actually the traitor.

The smart people around here know that like your Orange Overlord you don't read. You just react. Illiterate and uninformed is no way to go through life son.
LOL It got the moron the Presidency

It's also likely to get the moron a bit of time in the federal pen.
Be still my heart...

Donnie's cell :)

Cooler heads around Trump NEVER prevail. In fact, most of the cooler heads are gone now and he's surrounded by a bunch of acting yes-men like Barr and Pompeo. Trump is gonna do what Trump wants to do. Scary to say the least.

Washington (CNN) Two senior US officials on Sunday described widespread opposition within the administration to targeting cultural sites in Iran should the United States launch retaliatory strikes against Tehran, despite President Donald Trump saying a day before that such sites are among dozens the US has identified as potential targets.

"Nothing rallies people like the deliberate destruction of beloved cultural sites. Whether ISIS's destruction of religious monuments or the burning of the Leuven Library in WWI, history shows targeting locations giving civilization meaning is not only immoral but self-defeating," one of the officials told CNN.

"The Persian people hold a deeply influential and beautiful history of poetry, logic, art and science. Iran's leaders do not live up to that history. But America would be better served by leaders who embrace Persian culture, not threaten to destroy it," they added.

Another official who formerly worked in both the Trump and Obama administrations told CNN: "As a matter of principle, we as a nation and as a military do not attack the culture sites of any adversary."​

Like I said, they ... volunteered. .....


And you didn't. Neither did I. The difference is that I am aware every day that I owe those men and women who have served a debt I can never repay. I express my gratitude to every veteran I run into because it is the least I should do. YOU are just an unworthy little fucking worm who does not deserve anything my great nation provides, including and especially the security that your betters have provided every minute of your meaningless mistake of a life.
Sorry, turd, but I don't buy the proposition that I owe them anything. You are "aware" of something that isn't true. You have failed to demonstrate that it's true. All you can do is spew your indiscriminate insults.

Where is the evidence that Trump plans to attack any "cultural sites?" This appears to be a total fiction invented so morons like you can use it to attack Trump.
 
Attacking “cultural sites”...hmmmm?
You mean like the “cultural sites” attacked by LefTards on our own soil....statues of Robert E. Lee and the like? Those kinds of cultural sites?

That shit belongs in a museum - No reason to memorialize traitors and losers in the public square.

Because you say so huh?
Good, real Americans view Robert E Lee as a legitimate American badass...maybe the baddest badass of all...it is only unAmerican pieces of shit and fragile Father Government loving, nutless bitches whom don’t view him as such.

You failed to contradict what I posted, moron.
 
Vets are bullshit but traitors like Lee are your heroes ? Nice bri nice You've retained your #1 ranking here

Where did I say "vets are bullshit?" I simply said I don't owe them anything and they aren't infallible because they are vets.

I makes me someone who knows history and who has read the Constitution. It defines treason as "making war on the United States (plural) or giving aid and comfort to their (plural) enemies."

Who made war on the states of the union? Not Lee.

Not necessarily. He may have used "culture" as a synonym for "society." That's what it appears to me he meant.
