My governments track record.
Afghanistan.Because you say so. Whatever.
In a few days, this will definitely be the case.Iran is not a threat to America.
It seems I’m the only one in here that is thinking of putting Americas interest first.In a few days, this will definitely be the case.
I’d tell my son not to join the military if I believed as you do about American geopolitics.Israel being the reason we are joining forces with them attacking Iran. And this being another Afghanistan. As if our government has a good track record.
Look, if you people can’t see that we go to war these days for money and special interest groups you are willfully delusional.
My son is a senior this year and 2 months after he graduates will be in Marine boot camp. I’ve had hard discussions with him for the reasons we go to war these days. I’ve walked a fine line with my son.
Would you tell your son it’s a noble cause for him to be kicking doors down in Iran if he were to go into the military? Think about this…..your son.
I’m not asking for sympathy. But what I’m saying is, if it’s your own flesh and blood. Telling him this is as noble as WWII or the Civil War?
If as you believe now, would you tell him to join? Your son, your own flesh and blood.I’d tell my son not to join the military if I believed as you do about American geopolitics.
As soon as Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, they would be testing it on Israel. This is a cold hard fact. If Iran obtains nukes, there WILL BE a nuclear war in the future. You can count on it.Iran having a nuclear weapon will not hurt America.
The countries I named have nuclear weapons. Why don’t we attack them?
Democracy will NOT happen in Iran. Understand this. Their culture is NOT western as was Afghanistan.As soon as Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, they would be testing it on Israel. This is a cold hard fact. If Iran obtains nukes, there WILL BE a nuclear war in the future. You can count on it.
President Trump is doing good. I do not like the idea of "Regime Change" wars for the sake of regime change wars. The threat to our national security is real and our president acted. If they kick out the Caliphate and bring back democracy back to Iran, this is a bonus!
And it seems to me that the Iranian people are ready to capitalize on it. They may actually have a bright future if we can keep Russia and China out of the way and allow the Iranian people to choose their own destiny.
And it gives me a great deal of satisfaction knowing that vengeance was duly served on those who butchered our fellow brothers and sisters over there!
Alleluia!!!!
I can 100% appreciate your sentiments here! I was optimistic about Iraq and Afghanistan as well but the fact of the matter is that in both these cases, we were "liberating" people who did not want to be liberated and we never fully neutralized the enemy and FULLY CONQUERED the land! We needed to TAKE OVER both of these countries, declare martial law, and perhaps restore independent rule perhaps a hundred or so years down the road. I may be exaggerating but this is the way they waged war back in the "Olden Days" where we were throwing spears and stones! We need to go back and familiarize ourselves with these old lessons!Israel being the reason we are joining forces with them attacking Iran. And this being another Afghanistan. As if our government has a good track record.

Propaganda is real my friend
I agree that we do not need to foist "American Democracy" down their throats. Hopefully we have learned this lesson. Based upon President Trump's speech, he is going to "let them chart their own destiny. Hopefully this can happen without a single "Americian Boot" on Iranian soil. The wild cards in this mess are Russia and China who both see Iran as a strategic advantage to their agenda.Democracy will NOT happen in Iran. Understand this. Their culture is NOT western as was Afghanistan.
Our children WILL DIE for a foreign nation. And the 1% and the special interests groups. Propaganda is real my friend
Why do you think that would be?As soon as Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, they would be testing it on Israel.
No, I would not, but it wouldn’t be out of a belief that our government is infiltrated by Israeli-blinded sympathizers who are only engaging in military actions at the behest of billionaire warmongers.If as you believe now, would you tell him to join? Your son, your own flesh and blood.
I don’t follow your line of reasoning. Why are you comparing the motives and justification for our military actions to those dynamics that were at play which caused the Civil War?Would explain to him in so many words, that you going is as important as the civil war?
Are you a pacifist? I’m going to say no. If that’s the case, what kind of circumstances would ever merit going to war in your mind?Democracy will NOT happen in Iran. Understand this. Their culture is NOT western as was Afghanistan.

You've never heard of AIPAC?No, I would not, but it wouldn’t be out of a belief that our government is infiltrated by Israeli-blinded sympathizers who are only engaging in military actions at the behest of billionaire warmongers.
I have to agree with you on AIPAC. It ranks right up there with the NRA and Big Pharm.You've never heard of AIPAC?
Trump: The strongest lobby in Washington was the Jewish lobby.
When we defeat Iran Israel will take over the Middle East and we will see what happens next to American interest.
Jooooooooooooos!
