Geez, if we waited for Congress to make decisions like this, we would all be speaking Farsi.

P.S. What the hell is wrong with Kentucky Republicans?

I've personally met Massie.

I liked Massie a lot.

He's turned into a complete dooshnozzle.

the worst thing about these fagoos runnin' their mouths is they 'supposedly' don't have all the intel DJT has at his tips ... in time sensitive situations, we don't have time to decide what is or what is not a 'war'...

the founders didn't have computers and such at their disposal ... but they did know the commander in chief was THEE GUY! that eventually became, "good morning, Mr. President ... how would you like your raghead eggs cooked this morning? ... over easy, or more sunny side buster bunkerin' boudin?!" ...

Iran will want more? As I said in another post little more than whack the mole

Iran will likely eventually back down from their nuclear program for now but the only way to completely stop Iran would be regime change and that won’t happen without a ground war. Iran has 10 times the population of Israel and I’m willing to guess that the vast majority of Iranian people will not be ready to welcome an Israeli/American puppet state. So even if the regime is toppled you will have decades of insurgency going on.

Invading Iran would be an awful decision even if we are just supporting Israel in doing it.

is that the path you fagoos will now traverse ... nobody's bitin' anymore biatch...

you guys are clueless w/o the capacity to engage in any worthwhile solution...

Really, if you're going to get mad at Trump for doing this, then get mad at Obama, Hillary (as Obama's Secretary of State), and Biden for allowing things to get to this point with their combined policies. Otherwise, you look like a hypocrite. Not sayin', just sayin'.

How about this, nearly every single conflict we have gotten into since WW2 has been completely avoidable and a waste of human lives, resources and tax payer dollars.

YEAH!!

TRUMP SHOULD HAVE JUST SHUFFLED UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND MUMBLED ... "DON'T".

We have entered a war of unknowable scope to finish what Israel started against a country of 90 million people. The distance between Iran and the United States, btw, is approximately 7,258 miles as the crow flies--the shortest distance between our countries.

Iran's weapons include a mix from Western countries, especially the U.S.. More recently they have relied on Russia, China, and North Korea.

Iran's Retaliatory Choices:

1. Missile and Drone Attacks

2. Proxy Warfare: Iran could leverage its influence over proxy groups in the region to carry out attacks against US and Israeli interests.

3. Cyber Operations: Iran has a history of using cyber warfare as a form of retaliation. The IRGC-affiliated Mabna Institute has targeted American and Israeli financial institutions, utilities, and military networks, causing both economic harm and symbolic blows.

4. Blocking the Strait of Hormuz: Iran has the capability to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage through which close to 20 percent of the world's oil is transported.

5. Attacks on Oil Facilities: Iran could target Saudi Arabian or UAE oil fields and refineries, similar to what it reportedly did in 2019. Such attacks could raise global oil prices and destabilize the energy market, creating economic turmoil.

6. Direct Retaliation Against the US: Iran might launch direct attacks on US military assets in the region. American military bases in Iraq, Syria, and the Gulf are within range of Iran’s Sejil-2 ballistic missile, making them potential targets.

Long story short. We have all been here before.

did it turn out well? I don't recall any victory parades.

Well put!

Be it had to be done for future generations.

These folks are radicalized. We have been experiencing what radicalization looks like with progressives and child mutilation with sex change fanaticism and delusion.

What lies ahead truly depends on how the Iranians respond.

If the Leadership continues to be the number one target it will take time to regroup. My thinking is any real responses will come later on when we’ve taken our eye off of them.

That is one of the most dishonest and downright ignorant posts I have ever seen here on this.

Israel did not start this war, Iran did when it ordered its terrorist proxies to pull off one of the most deadly terrorist attacks in recorded history against woman, children and the most helpless and innocent people of all.

For you to say Israel started this war just shows how corrupted and completely insane your view on this topic is.

You had to gall to point to political leanings on the views here, then vomited up one of the most dishonest, far left, pro terrorist views you could muster on this.

Regardless of how you feel about us bombing Iran's nuclear sites, if you can't even understand and see the moral difference between how Iran started this through one of the most disgusting terrorist attacks in modern history, and its non stop bombing of purely civilian targets since compared with Israels retaliation against hard military sites then you are too lost and ignorant to even be commenting on this.

Its debatable whether we should bomb those sites, and our country is having a healthy debate about that very thing (the republican party and conservatives are split down the middle on this). But what you said was ignorant, disgusting and embarrassing.

I agree. To say Israel started this war is disingenuous. Oct. 7 started this war, and Hamas is still holding both bodies and hostages.

And most Intel seems to support the idea that Iran was getting close to being able to produce nukes. Whether that's totally accurate or not is irrelevant. The number of nuclear facilities itself makes it obvious that their objective is something other than civilian energy production. Somehow, they have met their energy needs forever without nuclear production.

The idea that we would let Iran, with its current leadership, get anywhere close to producing a nuclear bomb, is not a sane alternative.

And dropping MOP bombs from B2s, which only the US can do, and what was needed to destroy the key nuke facilities, is far different from sending ground troops into the area.

Will it lead to ground troops? I don't see how. Taking territory in Iran is not a US objective, and should never be. That is up to the Iranian people.

The fact you even think Israel or America is going to invade Iran, is foolish. While the world would welcome a regime change. If it takes place it will come from the people in Iran. Not America or Israel. It took Iran 40+ years to get to this point so no matter who their leader is it'll take them another 50 years to get back to here.....


I will gladly take that and my bet most of the world leaders were saying..."Hell yeah!" tonight.

X and Putin, most likely went...."Oh shite" after seeing that fireball that took out a mountain. Israel does not have a unlimited time to keep bombing Iran. Sometime very soon President Trump is putting a stop to that.....

Job Complete. That's what this was, for President Trump, a job to take out Irans nukes. If regime change happens then that's cake but the US is short time in this part. Israel time is also getting shorter.

Like him or hate him President Trump probably hates war/conflict more than any president. I think he just hate death, so no way he went into this long term. Make no mistake, I believe, even if he hates it, President Trump would do what it took to protect America even if this went into a war. Its not and I also believe our President would fight any war to actually win....

something others never did do in your list

There’s a novel idea.

Something lost on the fools we elect since Vietnam. And still, the FOOLS haven’t learned their lesson. And, that is on the American people for stomaching it.

The presser at the Pentagon just ended. We dropped a total of 75 precision-guided bombs on nuclear targets.

We also used over 125 aircraft in this operation, all totally undetected by Iran. No shots were fired.

Hegseth and Gen. Cane made it clear that we are not at war with Iran. Instead, we are at war with their nuclear capability only. Of course, if Iran chooses to attack US troops anywhere, then all bets are off. That's up to them now, not us.

Attacking us will not restore their nuclear capability.

As I've said from the jump, I'm thankful Trump and his second term people are in change for this. I KNOW he will never get involved in a ground war and occupation/nation building in Iran. This is one of his most core concrete values. The most he will ever do is send some specialists in for a nuclear cleanup or oversight of those materials.

This ain't the Dick Cheney/neo-con class war mongers running this show anymore.

CBS just can’t help themselves. At 9 I turned on the tube to see what statement Trump was going to make. Before Trump could even speak the broadcaster same one in the biased debate said the US had entered the war and bombed Iran in support of Israel.

I switched to Fox on that.

The level of dishonesty there was cringe worthy.

I’ll have to say if you still believe any network in the Lagacy Media are trustworthy and don’t think you are stupid, you are only fooling yourself. Trust and truth boarded a bus years ago and left bias and propaganda to cover for them.

Which explains why I watch Fox and not the others, other than to read CNN to get the opposite take on everything.

All networks are biased, including Fox, of course, but the MSM for the most part is intentionally dishonest.

And I have tried to find a neutral news source, but there really aren't any.

Btw, we dropped a total of 14 bunker busters on Irani nuclear sites last night.

Who’s advocating for an invasion of Iran?

They’re no longer a nuke threat.

That was the end goal and it seems to have gone according to plan.

What are you going to complain against next, which isn’t even on the table?

It’d have to be the latter.

Anything else is a suicide mission.

We’ll let them float and bob around for a while, first shell or missile that flies and they will become the glass bottom boats we used to joke about as kids.

Iranian parliament has just voted to close the straight of Hormuz. Sign off by the Ayatollah is expected soon.

Libturds are big mad today because all of the billions of dollars that Obama and Biden* gave Iran to build up their nuclear program went poof in a single strike last night.

I also find it funny that these same people who are mad about this strike and who say Trump is starting WWIII in Iran wants Trump to literally start WWIII with Putin over Ukraine.


Also, shout out to Pete Hegseth for pulling off this massive attack while Iran had their pants down. They literally had no idea it was coming that soon.

Which immediately proves that we did the right thing by taking out their nuclear capability.

They don't want peace. They want death to Israel and the US.

Stand by.
