This should frighten all Americans...

[BuckToothMoron]

We spend close to a trillion dollars a year on our military. You gonna tell me that with that kind of firepower we couldn't put an end to Iran in a very short period?

Actually, no we don’t. The military budget for 2019 was less than $700 billion. That’s significantly less than a trillion.

You are dreaming if you think the war budget is limited to $700 billion. Guess what? Our government lies. LOL.

They probably lose $300 million annually, not knowing where it went.

Yea, make up whatever number you want with no support or reference.....and call people who disagree dreamers. That’s rich!

Do some research on the subject. It’s not hard. And really, you want to quibble about $300 billion, when our government is spending trillions?

This statement from the Empire’s War Department is frightening. I can only imagine what the rest of the world thinks.

The Empire has gone rogue.


War Again on the Front Burner
The nonsensical statement below from the Pentagon announcing that the US government has committed an act of war against Iran should frighten everyone:

“At the direction of the president, the US military has taken decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a US-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.”

“This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans.”

“The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world.”

Murdering a high-ranking official of a government is an act of war. It is impossible for an act of war to protect US personnel abroad.

So IF it is true that Iran has been attacking oil tankers and blowing up oil fields and attacking US embassies, etc., what should be done?

You are President, you make the call.

None of what you state is true. Why must you pose a straw man argument, to go to war?

So you are sold on the idea that all reporting about Iran is fake news?

Additionally, you would not mind living in Iran because it is not really a despotic Islamic oppressive regime?

I thought cons believed the MSM is fake news. WTF happened? Don’t tell me cons are hypocrites like libs.

Jimmy and Max pretty much nail it here:

 

[whitehall]

Why didn't it frighten Americans when Bill Clinton used NATO to bomb a defenseless European country? Videos at the time showed Belgrade citizens in suits and briefcases racing to bomb shelters. WTF happened? The dirty little secret is that many Iranians (perhaps the majority of Iranian citizens) are quietly celebrating the death of the monster. Where does that leave angry hypocrite American lefties?

Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day.

But don't get too comfortable, Tainted Tommy. Your idol, Red Jeremy, lost. You have a genuine Prime Minister now. One who is unlikely to put up with any crap if Iran threatens British interests. You should be thinking about how to keep up your house payments when you're drafted.

 

[MisterBeale]

When has Iran ever shown restraint?

LOL. You really mine when has the Empire ever shown restraint, right?

Are you fucking kidding?
We've let Iran get away with murder....literally.

LOL. You need to stop consuming government controlled media.

So your left wing buddies in media are lying?

Not my buddies and yes they always lie. They are controlled by the Empire and the billionaires. You know this right?

If I were Elizabeth Warren as president, I'd apologize to the Iranians for us having oil tankers in the middle east and offer to pay for the cost of blowing stuff up.

Yes every nation on Earth is aware of the enormous power of the US military. They also are aware that those who lead the US military are psychopaths. It is concerning. I wonder if we will get out alive.

You should just do like your fellow women leftists and beg Iran for mercy.

I was really triggered when President Trump gave his speech this morning. He had the Joint Chiefs of military staff standing behind him and they just creeped me out. I swear, the guy on the left has those eyes that follow you when you move around.

Those guys are natural born killers, they could fuck up someone's shit in a heartbeat. The guy on the right was probably eyeing the crowd person by person, and thinking up a way to kill each and every one of them. I bet he's already killed more than several people with nothing but the ball-point pen in his pocket...

I am so triggered right now that I must go curl up in my closet in a fetal position, suck my thumb, and cry myself to sleep.

The Generals and Admirals all had their eyes super glued like that to prevent them from rolling their eyes every 45 seconds when Rump tells another whopper or tells everyone how great he really is.

I have no problem with the Democratic party of JFK and would have voted in that direction, were he alive and in the running, however, the Democratic party is no more. It's now a Socialist party and JFK would be considered a Republican by its standards. And frankly, I'm an Independent voter, who in the past has primarily voted Green Party, but even they've gone off the rails. I'm voting Trump in the next election, primarily because of the way the so-called Democratic party has behaved since the Republicans candidate was elected. It's been sickening to see the way its followers have behaved. So, for me, at least in 2020, it's Trump!

During that same time period, Rump would have been considered (because he really is) a JBircher and had no chance at all. Sorry, but JFK would NOT have been the party of the rump. Maybe he might be an old style Republican in the Eisenhower time but today, he would not be successful in any party and neither would Ike. You are voting for Rump using the math produced by the JBirchers. And the Republican Party is no more.

Pretty much the same here. Haven't voted for a Democrat outside of a couple of local candidates here in Texas, Bob Bullock and one other, since the Democrats enacted their 'Super Delegate' rule to keep the rank and file from ever determine the nomination of a candidate again. In Texas, the drunken loon Ann Richards preferred pandering to her doped addled rich trust fund hippies and drinking buddies in Austin over the people of Texas, and sent the state Republican.

Dems hate George Bush? Too bad, Ann Richards gave him to you. You can also thank yourselves for Trump, nominating the crooked deviant sociopath Hillary.
