Democrats praying for retaliation.

[my2¢]

are you suggesting that our military didn't have soldiers die? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you fkers can't stop.

How about our departure from Afghanistan?

I'm not suggesting any such thing. Point blank I don't believe many of the posters here gave as much concern about dead Americans as they did on focusing attention on Hillary Clinton, totally bypassing the lame duck Commander-in-Chief. Just as I believe there are likewise Democrat idiots that would exhibit fake outrage over Iranian retaliation as long as it presented means to hammer Trump.

Now what about the departure from Afghanistan? I have no problem with the 5,900 troops Trump removed, nor the additional 2,500 that Biden withdrew. My complaint was the release of the 5,000 Taliban prisoners.

Original opinion of the OP. No link required.

And this is my opinion. Democrats perspective has become so warped... (and maybe Republicans too when Democrats hold the reigns of power, but today we're talking about today's events)... that they sincerely hope that Iran retaliates in a meaningful way only for the purpose of sullying President Trump decision to destroy Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Maybe not all of them, but a significant number. Once again they hang their hopes on outcomes that are detrimental to Americans... just like President Trump's expansion of tariffs to level the playing field, Democrats couldn't wait to take the side of China. When President Trump pursued a doctrine of deporting Illegal Aliens, the Democrats jumped at the opportunity to take the side of foreign nationals.

In my opinion, what's good for Democrats of late is bad for America. Democrats need to get their party back on the rails for the good of the country.

the biggest threat we face is the terror cells Dems let in top the country by the 4 yrs of failed leadership of the last admin ..

WTF are you talking about?

 

[Frankeneinstein]

More slow downs in the supply chain that Trump didn’t even know existed!

Depends how crazy Trump gets.

He didn’t have to bomb. He talked his way into a corner and now the more rabid half his of base is pissed.

I'm starting to think you may feel trump is to blame for a very small part of this.

 

[konradv]

WTF are you talking about?

The people that are really batshit crazy never realize it. They’re the ones that think J6 was a peaceful demonstration.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

The people that are really batshit crazy never realize and think J6 was a peaceful demonstration.

Those are just magaturd trolls. They are told what to believe, so their goofy opinions fluctuate.

 

[Stryder50]

Where have they attacked USA for the past 40 years?

And if so, why is it only now we're hitting back?

Doesn't have to be just the physical, continental USA. Can be USA citizens and interests around the world.
(we are supposed to all become globalist it seems, so ...)

Starts with 1979 seizure of our embassy and taking the hostages.
Has continued through the years, often via proxy and support of Islamic Jihad organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Were major players in the "insurrection" in Iraq shortly after our occupation started there.
Etc.
I don't have infinite time to do a thorough list.

Sorry to see your display of gross ignorance on international matters and global attacks and threats to USA/Americans, and our allies.

 

[Stryder50]

The people that are really batshit crazy never realize it. They’re the ones that think J6 was a peaceful demonstration.

For about 95% of those involved in J6 it was. That small majority that engaged in trespass reportedly included some Left/AntiFa 5th element.

Just like the batshit crazy Leftist loonies who call those several Summer months in 2020 of AntiFa & Co. riots, insurrections, arsons, assaults and murders, looting, "autonomous zones - etc." throughout scores of cities across the USA were just "peaceful demonstration.

Seems folks like you have limited perspective and no grasp of size and scale and actual results.

Less see; 4 months at 30 days times 24 hours a day equals = ???* versus about 2 hours on one day -
*Can you do the arithmetic or are you typical Leftist who can't do math ???

Closing the Strait of Hormuz would have a devastating economic effect.

The Closing wouldn't last long.
Iran hasn't the naval and air force capability to make it more than a day or few, at best.
Plus that would be an escalation to be matched by the West.

Thread 'Middle East Forum'

As many may have noticed, there is no shortage of "news" and "views" on the near eternal Middle East Issues/Crisis's.
I've found one source in recent years that provides the most complete and least biased, more objective news and information is the Middle East Forum.

They have oil.

Doesn't do them much good if they can't get to a market, or out of the ground.

 

[jknowgood]

Do you expect Iran to retaliate or just take that attack from a foreign State on their soil laying down?

Lol, we did a strategic bombing. They had 60 days to come to an agreement with Trump. But failed to do anything.

 

[IM2]

And why is a bait thread accusing Democrats of something like this with no link supporting it allowed to stay in this section?

 

[Missourian]

You didnt address this POS OP being fantasy porn from a hate filled individual. All you did is insult. The bullshit moderating to leave this in politics is a joke.

The OP is 100% reality based.

Whatever President Trump supports, Democrats are automatically against, no matter what they have to support to sustain that opposition.

You know... if Trump came out in favor of oxygen, liberals would hold their breath. That might be hyperbole, but it's a hyperbole based in reality. We should all agree that a destruction of Iran's nuclear weapons program when a prime opportunity presented itself should be embraced by ALL Americans.

But the Democrats will oppose it in any way possible, not because they truly believe it was the wrong decision, but only because a Republican, and especially President Trump ordered it.

If a Democrat ordered this strike, the Democrats would praise it to high heaven.

It's the lack of principle, the selective outrage. It's ridiculous.

I don't expect you to admit this truth... you are part of the problem, not the solution.

I could turn around everything you just said on you dipshit.

Trump then: Weakness leads to war with Iran. I am strong there will be no war.
Trump now: We are at war with Iran because only I am strong.

Trump then: I will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours
Trump now: Give up Ukraine, please.

Trump then: I will balance the budget in 4 years
Trump now: Pass this $3T increase to the budget deficit

Trump then: 90 deals in 90 days
Trump now: We dont need deals

I could go on and on and on and on......
