NO EXIT? How will the U S be able to extricate itself from Trump's "little excursion"?

[Couchpotato]

If you support à man like Trump who has no mórals, ethics, principles or humanity, it is you that needs help’

This is hardly about support for a person. You're assigning completely asinine reasoning for why the US is bombing a foreign country. Something we have been doing for over the last 6 Administrations but somehow this one is different because of the person sitting at the resolute desk? There is one reason we are doing this and that reason is Israel. That's it.



Iraq Done Started under GWB finished under Obama
Syria Done Started under Obama, stopped under Trump, restarted and finished under Biden
Lebanon Done
Libya Done Obama
Somalia Done Obama and continues today
Sudan Done Obama into Trump I think.

and now Iran....

Wake the **** up dude

Several U.S. presidents have initiated military actions or "wars of choice" without direct, immediate threats to the nation, often utilizing their power as commander-in-chief without formal congressional declarations. Key examples include the Korean War (Truman), the Vietnam War (Johnson/Nixon), the 1999 Kosovo bombing (Clinton), and the 2026 Iran conflict (Trump).

They all ended badly for us.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Except for all the parts that are nothing like Vietnam.

Like, having allies for Vietnam

Like, having allies for Vietnam

Sure though I fail to see how that’s relevant the comparison. The problems that we will deal with regarding the current campaign against Iran are completely different than Vietnam. We aren’t even fighting the same type of war in Iran vs Vietnam. It’s not even close. And I’m not talking about the tech difference owns then. Vietnam was an asymmetrical insurgency similar to Afghanistan and post invasion Iraq. The war with Iran even if we ended up invading it would be a conventional style war, that would likely spread and potentially start a regional or global type conflict.

I agreed with you, insomuch as its different in that we have little to no help from allies in this newest futile war of vanity.

Yeah that would be the important difference even if I grant that the reasoning you give were true.

I didn't give any. I just stated a contrast. You're just spouting the first contrarian nonsense that fizzles into your brain. It's reflexive, apparently.

Couch, America Fighting Unjustified, & Undeclared War since the end of World War Two, has been ongoing to Today, by Democrats, & Republicans.

And the Countries that You have named, have NEVER become Nations of "Peace", and in most of them, they want America out of their Countries.

So what does "Done" mean?

Don said recently that the conflict will end when he feels it in his bone spurs.

Im not saying anything contrary to that. The clip and commentary is about the current round of doing that.

And the Countries that You have named, have NEVER become Nations of "Peace", and in most of them, they want America out of their Countries.

Done meaning we invaded/overthrew their government in some form or fashion. It wasn't meant to imply a good outcome.

Trump administration making heavy preparations for potential use of ground troops in Iran

It is unclear under what circumstances President Trump would authorize the use of U.S. troops on the ground in Iran.

www.cbsnews.com

Pentagon officials have made detailed preparations for deploying U.S. ground forces into Iran, multiple sources briefed on the discussions told CBS News.

Senior military commanders have submitted specific requests aimed at preparing for such an option as President Trump weighs moves in the U.S.-Israel-led conflict with Iran, the sources said.

Mr. Trump has been deliberating whether to position ground forces in the region, sources said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. It was unclear under what circumstances he would authorize the use of troops on the ground.

"No, I'm not putting troops anywhere," he told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday when asked about ground troops, but quickly added: "If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you."

Trump has no long term plans in Iran
He has destroyed their government, oil industry, means of employment, food chain for 90 million people.

What are Trumps plans for Iran once in devolves to Civil War, Chaos and Mayhem ?

Do you even have a conception of how many us forces it would require to actually invade Iran?

Or to stop a Civil War

Either I guess. It Iran devolves into civil war I think it could be worse going into that situation than just straight up invading honestly. I don’t think we should commit ground units to Iran regardless of what happens

Even though Trump denies it…..I think he has upset the Apple Cart and chaos will result. We will have to send troops to keep the peace
