Come on Brocephus!

Fixing a problem he created is not winning.

Trump created Iran? Iran has been a problem for a very long time.

Are you changing your voter registration to a D now?

Fuck no!

I believe in questioning our President and calling him out on his BS. All of our elected leaders should be questioned and held accountable. It is our duty as citizens.

Some want to follow blindly. That just isn’t me.

Politicians have lied, backtracked, and gerrymandered since the beginning of government. Holding them accountable.....it doesn't seem to happen. Government is going to protect itself and we have to be good little minions in their eyes. Until the general public starts dragging them out of their offices and hanging them on the White House lawn it will never change. Money corrupts absolutely

While attempting to solve a problem that has been going on since the 1970's. Iran has been a problem for a long time and no politician has had the guts to solve that problem. Now one takes this on and gets criticized for the negative things that stem from trying to solve actual problems. The long run is the key, not the now.

The hole in your argument is that the SOH was completely predictable and yet he didn't listen to those that understood the situation and did nothing to head it off.

$400,000,000,000 to open a stretch of international water that was already open and not much else to show for it other than global disdain for the US

I am criticizing the notion that reopening of the Straight of Hormuz is some kind of a win.

I'm happy we took on the Islamic Republic.

Well except I don't know that you are correct about your assessment.

You see this is not correct, this is your emotional hate for Donald Trump and its quite obvious.

We don't and he isn't right anyway.

Well, the action by the Iranians was obvious and military leaders, strategists and retired leaders knew it. Trump and Hegseth were caught flat footed and it cost $400 Billion to fix.

It is correct

$75 Billion to execut the military activity
$24 Billion inunfrozen stolen assets
$300 Billion in reconstruction

So $399,000,000,000

It is less about what they think and more about what we lose in support, status, financial opportunities, tourism, etc.
