There would not be bombs falling on the people of Israel if Netanyahu had not dropped bombs on the people of Iran first.
Israel is a nuclear armed nation.
This is not our fight.
Peace is…

It's interesting that Iran says they evacuated the 3 sites, nobody died as a result of the U.S. strikes, and there is nothing at the 3 sites that would cause radiation leakage. It's almost like they prepared for this, and were ok with it. I wonder if they feel like they can't back down or appear to be giving ground while Israel is bombing, but are ok with the U.S. bombing the sites so Israel has less of a reason to keep attacking. They could never say all of that openly.
Anyways, to the posters who said we couldn't do it, yes we can achieve total perfect victory anytime we want in the skies of a nation like Iran.
The only way I'm ok with it though, is if that was it, finito, and if we push for Israel to stop attacking. The fact that it cost 0 lives is surprising to me, and very good news.
President Trump basically wants this to be like the Solimani strike - one and done. No regime change war.

We need to immediately return to DC and vote on @RepThomasMassie and my War Powers Resolution to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war.
Youre a clown said:
No one is "going to war". Iran will launch some drones and missiles at US bases, likely the ones in Iraq. Most will get shot down. Their old Santa Claus looking leader will do some more saber rattling, and this will eventually simmer down. Iran does not have an endless supply of drones and missiles. They've sold a lot of of them to Putin
The U.S. must await severe punishment… we will target all American interests in the Middle East.

Whether they agreed to it or not, removing Iran's capability to make nuclear bombs, at the cost of 0 lives, is worlds better than I thought we'd do. I assume we used bombs big enough that there is no verification on the ground needed.Youre a clown said:I would have to imagine that there's tons of satellites watching those sites 24/7. If they moved material, I'd be shocked if we didn't know about it. Also, not some sort of expert nuclear engineer, but I doubt that there's just an infinite number of sites that they can take the stuff to that's impregnable to bombsPorteroso said:

Of course, this leeway is not Trump's doing. Been that way for a long long time.Porteroso said:
Hm I'm not sure how all of this pans out legally, but I agree Trump should not be able to bomb foreign countries without any involvement from Congress. The fact that we just accept that Presidents get to go to war without Congress shows you how much power the Executive Branch has taken for itself.

At the beginning of all this, I thought we for sure cannot go to war with Iran, and for sure they cannot have nuclear weapons. Seems we nailed it, as long as their response is not so massive that we feel we have to escalate.
Yes to removing Iran's nuclear capabilities. Whether or not it was an impending threat or not, the rhetoric from the Iran regime leads anyone paying attention to believe that they have the intent.Porteroso said:Whether they agreed to it or not, removing Iran's capability to make nuclear bombs, at the cost of 0 lives, is worlds better than I thought we'd do.

Their goal is for a nuclear armed Iran, full stop. That's why we're where we are today. Iran has never abandoned its goal for a nuclear weapon. Continued negotiations guarantees they'll reach there goal.Realitybites said:
Sunni Islam has been responsible for more US deaths over the past 20 years than Iran, starting with the 3000+ killed by Saudi Arabians on 9/11.
What my plan is? Tell the world unequivocally that we will not be attacking Iran at this time and get both parties back to the negotiating table along with Russian, Chinese, and Arab league negotiators to see what can be done. Sort of like what was going on before Israel unilaterally pearl harbored them.
Netanyahu's appetite for war will diminish dramatically should he realize that in ten days when Israel runs out of interceptors that we aren't giving him our credit card for that 200 million a day bill.
You start from the rational premise that no country's leadership want the gravy train to end, and you quickly realize that regime change operations run the greatest risk of sparking irrational action by any country.
Which is why regime change is the only practical option. There is no practical solution that does not involve a new regime willing to adopt a policy of abandoning nukes and seeking more constructive foreign policy toward western interests.
Iran has always been the most vulnerable of the 4 Axis powers. Keep up the pressure. Then escalate.
Trying to eliminate 28k ballistic missiles is not practical. Eliminate the leadership that controls them. Then deal with the new regime. Nato is more than tacitly on board for much a policy. THEY are actually under the umbrella of Iranian missiles. Nato aircraft (more than just ours) have been supporting Israel directly (not over Iranian airspace). Turkey has a border with Iran. Azerbaijan has a border with Iran (as well as a close relationship with both Israel and Turkey). And we have assets on the ground in Iraqi Kurdistan. There are substantial Azeri, Turk, and Kurds (and several more) minorities in Northern Iran. So you can take it to the bank that money, arms, ammo, trainers, etc….are on the ground
Right now (and have been for weeks) to destabilize and foment mischief inside Iran.
No invasion required. Make Iran ungovernable. Deal with a new government.
Israel has spies within the Iranian military and government providing solid intel.Youre a clown said:Porteroso said:
