Like clockwork, Republicans will get us into another large war.

But yes, continue to bitch about spending money for social services as the nation's treasure and blood is bled dry by the military industrial complex. Freedom motherf*ckers.

You may not believe me, but I rarely if ever watch FoxNews, and only very occasionally watch CNN.

I did used to enjoy watching the first five minutes of O'Reilly (his talking points or whatever they were called), but that was about it.

I want to just fucking punch Sean Hannity. He's such a bitch.
Even back in the days before Trump when I had no problem with the conservative movement as was voting Republican every time I couldn't stand Hannity. The big thing to me then is that he is SUCH an idiot. I looked at him as an embarrassment to the conservative side. I also looked at the fact that a bunch of conservatives were fans of his as such. Just played into the liberal claim that conservatives are a bunch of ignorant bumpkins.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

We’re in a war?

You mean for the first time since 1979 we’re acknowledging we’re in a war.

Don’t count your war chickens just yet, Treep

So far in this war, our only incursion into Iran was done by Jimmeh Carter.

:roll:

This is a consequence of America acting like a rogue nation for decades in the Middle East. No one is going to finish this; it either becomes a large regional war, a shit ton of people die, and we'll face the consequences for years to come in terms of domestic and international terrorism, or we'll leave with trillions in investments down the drain. This conflict is pointless.

The only people cheering for war against Iran are the DoD contractors.

War is fairly pointless; this one in particular even moreso.

And are you fuck*ing kidding me? Criticism of your nation = radicalizing? Ok Mr. Patriot Act.

Let's just shoot up everything instead of using diplomacy. Someone has to have the bigger dick, right?

War sucks, but it's never pointless. It always has a point.

Edit: I see Trip edited it to "fairly pointless". So many late edits.

Nothing wrong with having regional, invited presences.

Very wrong when we start meddling with their affairs, especially through force.

Straight up immoral when we meddle with their affairs, bear bad fruit from it, and then leave an ally for slaughter which tries to help fix our own mistake.

Yup, "won." :roll:

In the process of killing one person, we bolstered the Iranian regime at the moment their own people were protesting, strengthened the resolve and ideologies of anti-American parties throughout the region, had a few allies condemn our actions, and probably created a few terrorists in the process.

Lol. Also strengthened the resolve of PRO-American parties in the region, had a few allies applaud our actions, and killed a few terrorists in the process.

The head of the largest state supporter terror organization in the world is dead, the entire world saw it, and saw a tepid response from Teheran.

Iran has orchestrated attacks on Americans in that region for decades now - largely with few consequences save sanctions. Soleimani is the guy behind all of that.

This was a real consequence. It remains to be seen exactly how this will alter their behavior but the6 absolutely will be much more careful with how openly they aid and abet aggression against our interests.

One a scale of possible responses from Iran that were likely laid out by the President’s advisors - ten being worst case, this was surely down around a 2.

This was a desired outcome... the head of the Quds Force is pushing up daisies, Iran claims to have made a proportionate response (hah hah) and its over.

Now we can go back to asking why we are over there in the first place. Time to let Liechtenstein and the Netherlands deal with Britain’s mess.
