'Hit Iran now. Hit them hard,' U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham calls on Biden to strike Iran

[Dragonlady]

I am no supporter of Iran and they definitely need to be confronted. However, the impulse for some to just go to war is insane. Iran is doing what Reagan used to do and which America should do, fund proxies. The problem is for some there is no hardware cash to be made with rifles and grenades they want the expensive stuff, the bombs, jets and aircraft carriers!

Now, I am one of the biggest proponents for a strong America. Your economy, first and foremost, your military and your long-term sovereignty. However, I am thoughtful and sage enough to understand that war should be the last resort, not the first.

Hit the proxies hard and often, hit Iranian interests in the region without striking them directly. Fund opposition parties in Iran in the effort to force the regime to change course, or, even lose their positions. Direct war must be left to the end, especially with Ukraine and Israel already at war. We can support Israel by hurting Irans proxies, we can support Ukraine directly and by convincing the rest of the world to do more.

These immediate calls to drop bombs on Iran are from those who never have to face the fire.


You want to know the easiest way to avoid war? Make it MANDATORY conscription for any war passed by congress. Rich or poor ,your kid is going to war. Make it so that even those who have medical reasons can contribute overseas in other, non-combat roles. You would see FAR less desire for war as a first option.

They did that. The rich kids got "college deferrals", the poor kids were sent to Viet Nam.

Iran nearly declared war on the USA in retaliation for that murder, but the Ayatollah's proved to be saner and more rational than Trump.

11 American service men and women were seriously injured in the retaliatory air strikes. Something that Donald Trump denied. Something the Cult seems to have completely forgotten. Just a little concussion and PTSD, not like they were really injured - for the rest of their lives.

It was hardly a "murder", Soleimani was whacked as a casualty in the War on Terror- and was an international criminal. Much like the supposed clipping of Osama B. Ladin several years before.


The ayatollah knew the US under Trump wasn't going to take any shi'ite from him, unlike with Sleepy Joe where the ayatollah walks and talks and does exactly what he wants.

BS. We weren’t at war with Iran when dumb Don killed Soleimani. If you think like so many dumb Americans that he was a terrorist, than you’re a fool.

In fact, he was allied with the US fighting ISIS, prior to his cold blooded murder. And he was in the process of peace negotiations when murdered.

We can thank those blood thirsty radical Muslims in Tehran for not starting WWIII over his killing. Thankfully they kept their heads about them.

Joe Bidenâs dangerous, cynical Iran concessions prove his concern is 2024 re-election â not America’s safety

It’s a frightening feeling when the world feels out of control and you can’t trust the people in charge.

It was just a matter of time. Lindsey is in orgasmic ecstasy right now wanting to push the Usurper into attacking Iran. The only reality is none of our enemies are afraid of Biden.

Solemani was the only guy who could negotiate a peace with the Houthis.

Iran was at war with us.


Soleimani was an active terrorist involved in all kinds of atrocities, against US civilians and others.

Why are libs shedding so many tears for this fiend who is now fortunately for us, burning in Hell at the current point in time.

Oh brother. You’ve been duped really hard. Everything you know about Iran is wrong. You should know by now never believe our government or old media, but apparently you don’t.

Ole Lindsay never heard of a war he didn't like. In addition he sees nothing wrong with Americans dying for Israel.

Why do we have troops stationed in the Middle East now? Can anybody explain that in a rational manner?

We invaded it like twenty years ago, ever hear about it?

To protect "American interests", which should be read as "protect property owned by large American corporations" - think oil refineries. All of which dates back to the time when the USA was highly dependent on Middle Eastern oil.

Also, to keep the Soviet/Russia and communism out of the Middle East. And today, China. When Trump abandoned foreign aid and staffing embassies in "shithole countries" in Africa and Central and South America, China and Russia quickly moved in to establish trade and military alliances, primarily in Africa and South America.

In the case of China, they used trade, foreign aid and infrastructure investment. Putin sent in his mercanaries to "assist" governments.

Whenever a power vaccuum is created, forces will quickly move to fill it. Bush destroyed Saddam Hussein, with no plan on how to replace him. The result was ISIS. This is the law of unintended consequences.

When Trump pulled out of Syria, Russia and Turkey moved in. When you pulled out of Afghanistan, the Taliban moved in. Before you pull out of the ME, you better know who will move in after you.

The US is a dying empire. It can’t afford to be the world’s policeman anymore.

Bring them all home and mind our own business. Of course, this won’t happen. Empire’s throughout history usually kill themselves. The US likely does the same.

Not necessarily. France interfered in the Central African Empire causing its fall and deposing Emperor Bokassa I of that tremendous power.
