Do these dictators ever learn?
Never ever threaten America when there's a republican president. That's the surest way to lose your life and control of your control country.
Of sure, America will probably make a mess of the conquered country afterwards
We need to stop doing that. Should we have reason to attack, we should make a mess of the country right then and there, then simply walk away.
No re-building hospitals, schools, or infrastructure. Nothing.
As we have seen, that frog don't sing the Madison Rag.
Typically I say all or nothing. We shouldn't attack a country if we're not going to take responsibility for its well being afterwards. Like we did with Japan after WW2.
Typically, but not in the case of Iran. If we attack Iran simply and only to destroy its nuclear and missile capability and its dumb little cardboard navy I think that would be fine. In fact I think it's necessary.
Otherwise one day a western city will disappear in a nuclear fireball because of Iran.
Some people like to say that oh Iran doesn't mean it when they say they want to destroy Israel and America. It's just hyperbole they say. Yea well that's all fine and good until Iran gets nuclear capability. Then that hyperbole can become real and kill thousands.
