Trump attacking Iran took courage

[konradv]

He validates your hate and bigotry and he’s entertaining--something folks like you find appealing in a politician .

Vetted and found to be a felon, 34 times!

 

[MagicMike]

Trump risked his entire presidency, on a conflict half way around the world. This is the difference between a president for the people and a wormy rat politician mostly concerned about their own re-election or legacy. Or in the case of Hospice Joe, a clown who needs 8 naps a day and lets unelected morons run things day to day.

Aren't you equally concerned about Trump's advancing dementia?

 

[jc456]

Well...

One has to wonder what the calculus was--assuming there was calculus involved.

Obama signed the deal with Iran in July 2015. Trump said it gave Iran the bomb.

Obammy dropped billions of dollars on their airport

 

[candycorn]

Is NK next?

Nope.

Thats the thing that those on the right don’t realize. The only veto card you have in the world right now is having your own nuke. We won’t attack NK because they could take out Seoul in one minute (if their nukes actually work...which our intel believes they will). So if you’re Iran and you don’t want to be a target...what do you do? Do you try to match us tank for tank, plane for plane, or get the (forgive the pun) trump card and have a nuke in your back pocket?

 

[jc456]

Is NK next?

Why not

We were “talking”? Trump just got into office 5 months ago. How much talking was done?

Did I not say that the "talk" had been going-on for a long time?

How long has Iran been pursuing nuclear materials-enrichment?

How many past Administrations... (D) AND (R) witnessed that pursuit and objected to it and tried to "talk" then out of it?

How many of those Administrations have made one (or more) serious attempts to remedy the situation?

How many of those Serious Attempts yielded a stop to Iranian refining of higher-and-higher grades of fissile material?

How many attempts must we have endured before we reached the conclusion that Talk was going nowhere?

How long ago did we cross and surpass that threshold... long before the election or swearing-in of 47?

How many former Presidents would have had the fortitude to actually strike once that threshold had been crossed?

By the time Operation Midnight Hammer had been put into action we were long, long, long-past that threshold.

At some point you actually have to SHOW your enemy that you mean what you say.

Which is exactly what happened last Saturday.

I’m worried about you.

Make sure you bend your knees when you move those goalposts like that.

You said talk had failed. Apparently the talk was eseentially “here it comes”.

But lets look at this new reality you’ve created after abandoning the talk gambit.

Why didn’t he attack during his first term before they supposedly were on the cusp of buiding a missile in 2025?

You kept asking “how many presidents” supposedly ignored Iran. Well that would mean that your blob was one of them...right?

Good luck dancing out of the corner you painted yourself into.

Thanks for playing. Check please.

How nice.

Make sure you bend your knees when you move those goalposts like that.

No need... no goalpost moving was done.

You said talk had failed. Apparently the talk was eseentially “here it comes”.

Talk had failed years ago.

Offers to talk again had been slapped-down by the Iranians themselves just prior to the strike.

Those two points combined are more-than-sufficient to define and support my original assertion in this regard.

But lets look at this new reality you’ve created after abandoning the talk gambit.

The New Reality is three smoking holes in Iranian soil.

Why didn’t he attack during his first term before they supposedly were on the cusp of buiding a missile in 2025?

Good question. Better late than never.

You kept asking “how many presidents” supposedly ignored Iran.

None of them "ignored" Iran. They all merely failed at forcing the issue and preventing them from progressing on enrichment.

Well that would mean that your blob was one of them...right?

Not mine. I voted for Harris (against my better judgement). I donated to her campaign. Displayed a "Vets for Harris" in my front yard.

Good luck dancing out of the corner you painted yourself into.

Again... no need... I never backed myself into one... and I am sufficiently honest to acknowledge when I've been in-the-wrong.

Thanks for playing. Check please.

She's paying for both of us today, waiter... here's mine, too.

Aren't you concerned your constant lying will mean you burn in hell for eternity?

 

[sartre play]

Anytime one engages in a military conflict they are taking risks as a rule. So, what were the risks Trump was taking? He is now faced with the notion that he and his immediate family will forever be at risk for assassination from Iran. In fact, they were after Trump for assassinating an Iranian general that was known for killing Americans in the Middle East during his first term. But now I think the risk has exponentially increased, not just for Trump but for his family as well.

Secondly, you don't know the repercussions in terms of a response. Will they use a WMD now of some sort against you or use sleeper cells in your country to be activated or some sort of other diabolical reaction.

But lastly, there are the political repercussions, especially before a midterm election that you simply have to win or your whole Presidency will get shot down into impeachment mode 24/7 as we saw the last time he lost the midterms to the DNC.

Because of this, I believe Trump believed they were on the verge of having nuclear weapons, or he would have at least waited till after the midterms to avoid the risk of losing the midterms because of it.

Right or wrong, it took courage

if HE HAD WAITED UNTILL AFTER THE CEASE FIRE TOOK HOLD.
if HE HAD NOT TAKEN CREDIT FOR EVERYTHING. 2 OTHER COUNTRYS WERE INVOLVED.
AND YES AM SORRY IT DID NOT WORK OUT. PEACE BY ANYONE IS OK BY MOST OF US.

 

[sartre play]

Get through the endless lists of others first. Including the Progressives. You got him elected.

all PRESIDENTS MAKE MISTAKES.

 

[Marener]

How many of those Serious Attempts yielded a stop to Iranian refining of higher-and-higher grades of fissile material?

Obama did it.

Trump ruined it.

When does the ground invasion start?

 

[candycorn]

Good question. Better late than never.

Nice retreat.

Again... no need... I never backed myself into one... and I am sufficiently honest to acknowledge when I've been in-the-wrong.

Good boy.

I presume when the all too certain terror attacks come and they still have their nuclear ambitions...you’ll admit it again then too, right?

 

[Kondor3]

Obama did it.

Obama made a bad deal that was not being honored, that was unenforceable, and that was easily sidestepped.

Trump ruined it.

Trump realized that The Deal was as useful as a screen door on a submarine so he sank it.

When does the ground invasion start?

Depends upon whether or not we can keep the Mullahs from fashioning nuclear weapons.

 

[Marener]

Obama made a bad deal that was not being honored, that was unenforceable, and that was easily sidestepped.

The deal was keeping Iran from getting highly enriched uranium, so it was working quite well.

Trump realized that The Deal was as useful as a screen door on a submarine so he sank it.

Trump is a narcissist. and sank it because he couldn’t take credit for it. In his simple mind, Obama made the deal and therefore it was bad.

Depends upon whether or not we can keep the Mullahs from fashioning nuclear weapons.

How are you going to do that without a ground invasion?

 

[Kondor3]

Nice retreat.

Hardly. Merely acknowledging that I don't know the answer to a particular question that is a sideshow to the main issue.

Good boy.

Atta girl.

I presume when the all too certain terror attacks come and they still have their nuclear ambitions...you’ll admit it again then too, right?

I'll admit what?

That it was wrong to try to take-out their nuclear weapons manufacturing capability?

I do not believe it is wrong now and I seriously doubt that I will believe it was wrong in the coming months.

If terror attacks come they will be repaid a hundred-fold... perhaps a thousand-fold.

If the Iranian Mullahs still possess a nuclear weapons manufacturing capability we will continue to hit them until they don't.

If the Iranian Mullahs ever actually DO produce a nuclear weapon we will cook them down before they can make a second.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The leftards are just mad because weak worthless Veggie *Joe didn’t even have the balls to shoot down three Chinese spy ballon’s flying over our own country. What an enormous turd.

 

[Concerned American]

You’ll never hold him accountable.

TDS. You'll never give credit where credit is due---understandable since the democrats can only be credited with abject failure for the past 16 years and you haven't given them credit for that either.

 

[Concerned American]

When has he ever paid a price for acting wrongly?

For acting wrongly? No. You have to do something to deserve that. He has paid very high prices. Working for no salary. Being wrongly impeached twice. Being unjustly demonized continuously for the better part of 10 years. Being subjected to nonstop kangaroo court actions for eight years. Having his family attacked. And if that all isn't enough, being shot and attempts made on his life. History will not judge the democrats well for their actions the last couple of decades, but meh, they are in decline anyway.

 

[Vrenn]

Just like when Trump stood up with blood dripping from his ear, not knowing if any more gunmen were around to take more shots at him. He stands up, and pump fists his hand into the air and screams, "Fight!" instead of continuing to duck for cover and run.

Whether you think he is the devil or a good man, or something in between, you must at least admit that he has courage, something the vast majority of politicians do not have. In fact, it is something the vast majority of people in general don't have.

That was Hollywood staged. There were no bullets shot at him at all. But the MAGAts are murderers for sure since someone died during their slight of hand crap.
