Why Not Give War a Chance?

[CrusaderFrank]

Give war a chance.....

People still wonder why I can no longer support Trump and his MAGA charade

Bibi chants “Death to America” but he calls us Rome

That’s your “Greatest Ally”

Bibi Netenyahu shouts "Death to America"??

I'd highly advise you stop taking this:

Because you are out of your g.d. mind.

 

[Concerned American]

Biden didn't start a war that caused it. This will kill the MAGA party in the midterms.

Have you forgotten --- to use his words ---- the WAR on fossil fuels? Selective memory.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

well there are about 10,000 and they live a very controlled existance pretty much all in one location.
I'm not sure what it means that they are not attacked... attack is probably not necessary. It's an interesting question though no doubt..... would be good to hear from an Iranian about it.

There’s about 30,000 Jews living peacefully in Iran

They’re treated billions of times better than any non-Zionist anywhere in “Greater Israel”

Victory is right around the corner
Heard that one before

In Vietnam, we were told the boys would be home by Christmas, then the next Christmas, then the next Christmas
Bush invaded Iraq because Afghanistan was under control
Bush declared Mission Accomplished when military operations were completed

Now Trump thinks he can bomb the shit out of Iran and go home.

The military and our leaders lie to us

Most likely the midterms would be lost if this becomes a quagmire. The problem is that the only other choice is Progressives at this point. If gas is high at that point and then we add the Progressive Socialist ten quadrillion dollar green energy scam proposed legislation and we will pay fifty dollars a gallon. We may have to have a black-market oil system set up.

190K views · 2K reactions | Is Europe Netanyahu’s new target? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a journalist that he is currently reading Jews vs. Rome, a 2025 book by historian Barry Strauss. When asked what made him pick it up, Netanyahu replied, “Well, we lost that one, I think we have to win the next one.” The book details two centuries of Jewish rebellions against the Roman Empire and explores how the Jewish people, despite military defeat, preserved their identity and faith. | Yeni Şafak

Bibi called Europe Babylon and he filled it with Muslims and is crashing their economies

Bibi called America Rome

Sucks to be uninformed

What does this prove though? 90 million people and they have 30K Jews. Could be they are for show, right, they can show the world how tolerant and peace loving they are because they give a good life to Jews. If they killed them all it wouldnt go over so well.
So I picked a year randomly 2023..


Granted, this is just the quick search engine result but I'm sure its close to accurate.
Why is it Iran has to do this? of course it helps them manipulate oil prices but what do you think they would do with nukes?


"In 2023, Iran and its proxies, notably the Houthis, significantly increased attacks on merchant vessels, particularly in the Red Sea and Gulf of Oman. These operations involved drone strikes, missile attacks, and hijacking attempts, with more than 100 merchant vessels targeted by late 2024, causing disruption to global trade and forcing re-routing.

Same effect, loss in the election.

Kuwait- Daddy Bush (R)
Afghanistan- Baby Bush (R)
Iraq- Baby Bush (R)
Iran - Trump (R)

Do I detect a trend ?

Only if you are cherry picking.

Libya - Thanks Obama (D)
Syria - Thanks Obama (D)
Ukraine - Let's go Brandon (D)

Libya - Thanks Obama (D)
Syria - Thanks Obama (D)

How many US troops were lost?
LIbya. 0
Syria. 0
Ukraine 0

Do I see a trend here?

 

[frigidweirdo]

It has been less than two weeks since the Iran hostilities began, and we have been listening to the bed wetters anguish about what might theoretically happen in the future. Why don't they give the dust time to settle before they renew their prognostications? Are they worried that it might turn out successfully? What will they do then?

Oh, "bedwetters" now huh? I mean, when you all vote for "no war" Trump, when you all said that the Ukraine War would never have happened under Trump because he was a "no war" kind of president... were you all BEDWETTERS then?

 

[rightwinger]

How quickly they forget the dumbest and most mentally and physically compromised President in American history.
What phonies.
What hypocrites.

"Huh?"

Biden still passed more meaningful legislation than all Republicans for the last 40 years

its only been 2 weeks... if we had your level of resolve in 1942 who knows what the outcome would have been. In the first 2 weeks of WW2 a great part of our pacific fleet was under water, how did we ever continue?
today we are faced with higher gas prices.... but you know that will be temporary unless you really believe Iran can defeat the United States militarily.

This is not WW2. Remember, per Orange Jesus, this is not even a war.

I can't think of even one.
And you know passing legislation isn't always the answer to problems. Sometimes just staying the hell out of the way and letting things take their course rather than the government sticking its nose into everything is the wiser course of action.

OK, let’s go there. SIgnificant legislation passed by Senile Joe Biden

• Medicare allowed to negotiate some drug prices
• Caps insulin costs for some seniors
• Tax credits for clean energy and electric vehicles

4. CHIPS and Science Act (2022)

• Roughly $280 billion to boost U.S. technology and research

• Designed to strengthen supply chains and compete with China

5. Honoring our PACT Act of 2022 (2022)

• Expanded health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits and toxic substances during wars.

6. Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (2022)

Here's my turn:
Virtually everything you listed was a fraud.
Most of them are a testiment to inefficiency and government overreach.
"6. Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (2022)

• First major federal gun-safety law in decades
• Enhanced background checks for buyers under 21
• Funding for mental health and red-flag programs"

Gun control bullshit that never works, just steps on Constitutional rights.
"Inflation Reduction Act"??
Are you kidding me?
The burn pit bill? Yeah, that was good and necessary.
The rest is crap, particularly the Infrastructure debacle. Billions of dollars wasted on projects that will never get done or green energy crap that is worthless.

Now Skippy it is your turn to show what significant legislation Republicans have passed in the last 40 years

Can’t do it can ya?

Nope.
Because, as I said, I don't judge government by how many phucking laws they pass. I judge government by how effectively they defend us and then leave us the hell alone.
That's how I work, pal.
