Misc This Means WAR

The situation in Iran is a muddle. Yes, we militarily have set back Iran significantly. But the core issue remains - a fanatical Iranian leadership is in place that wants to rebuild and do further damage to the US and our allies.The cease fire has not only given them time to dig out and launch more missiles, it’s led to an inconclusive, unfinished stalemate.As anyone who has ever removed a hornet’s nest knows, you better remove it all or you’re leaving behind a bunch of angry hornets who will sting you.It’s

I’m exhausted by this Iran whiplash. We put the Iranian people through hell with maximum pressure and sanctions, watched their currency and living standards collapse, and were told it was the only way to get a “better” deal than Obama’s. We even encouraged them to go out in the streets and risk their lives, telling them help was on the way. Now after all that we’re suddenly “ok” with a 20 year suspension of the nuclear program if Tehran makes a “real” commitment. That is not regime change. That is not zero enrichment forever. That is a tougher, longer version of the same time limited arms control logic we said was unacceptable. As a Trump supporter, I’ll say it clearly this is disgraceful and people deserve honesty about what we paid and what we actually got

Trump shouldn’t have torn up the already existing Iran Deal in 2018 in the first place. Now he’s struggling to get back to something similar and with a wide open Strait. It’s very clear to me he did that mainly because it was done during the Obama Admin.that’s how he thinks. He hates Obama with a passion.

1. It’s important to distinguish between “criticism” and “bashing”. Speaking for myself as regards DT or anyone else, I strive to stick to “criticism” when showing disapproval and to keep it war related. My last post was a criticism regarding tearing up the Obama Deal in 2018 without even a replacement. (Also, keep in mind that I recently gave a positive review of his post WHCD speech/news conference when people were posting about the attempted assassination. So, I’m not afraid to say something positive about DT if I feel it’s warranted.

2. This thread remains very civilized in stark contrast to AmericanWx’s political threads as well as those of many other boards.
