I guess that could be true. I just wish cooler heads had prevailed in this instance

And I am happy with it, so we are clearly divided, yes? 

 

I know I do not wish I had voted for Harris, you? 

 

I know I going to vote red in the midterms, you?

 

I know I hope to have a chance to help put J.D. in office come '28, you?

I don't know how I could be more angry right now, what a disaster.
Trump just shattered his political coalition ... 

There are so many risks, a broader regional conflict, global oil market chaos not to mention dragging the likes of the other global superpowers into taking sides with Iran.

Americans don't want another forever war, but here we go. Buckle up. 👿

Since 2011 Trump has said Iran can’t have a nuke! Pay attention to the last sentence in the Ai  statement.

 

America is fighting a crisis on two fronts 

1.Iran & Terror proxies in and around the ME.

2. Iran & Terror proxies sympathizers on the streets of its cities, rioting .

 

The appeasing of Terror  is so bad in America , I heard Trump didnt brief the Democrats who seem to love Iran & its terror proxies.

Peace through Strength !

“Donald Trump has consistently stated that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, with his documented opposition tracing back to his 2011 book, "Time to Get Tough." In this book, he explicitly wrote that "America's primary goal with Iran must be to destroy its nuclear ambitions" and emphasized that "Iran's nuclear program must be stopped by any and all means necessary. Period. We cannot allow this radical regime to acquire a nuclear weapon that they will either use or hand off to terrorists.

So one country attacks another country just because they can. Any sanctions for the aggression to follow? Europe, Japan, Australia, anyone dare to remove their tongue from the ass?

Please Lord let the anti-Israel and anti-ICE riots continue until after the midterms.

Trumps plan of action was much more effective than his oppositions “Just Don’t “.

 

You think Iran would have listened to “Just Don’t”.

President Trump Has Always Been Clear: Iran Cannot Have a Nuclear Weapon
The White House
June 17, 2025

President Donald J. Trump has never wavered in his stance that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon — a pledge he has made repeatedly, both in office and on the campaign trail.

Since taking office, President Trump has clearly stated no fewer than a dozen times that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon:

The US  will now need to keep lots of assets in the area to deal with possible retaliations. So with America now distracted in the Middle East, maybe China will see this as an opportunity to invade Tawain.

Nothing new...there will be more wars, until China dismantles this nest of parasites. I would be probably gone by then.

Europe is backing this action. 

[LosLobo]

Trump is fronting up to NATO at The Hague later this week — and after effectively declaring war on Iran and leaving them to deal with his fallout, it’ll be interesting to see what support he gets from the alliance he once called 'obsolete.'
 

As Ollie said to Stan: 'Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into!'
 

PS  
Ukraine’s Zelenskyy will be there — maybe Trump will explain the sanctions he never imposed, after giving Putin a two-week ultimatum for peace that expired with barely a whimper, nearly two weeks ago.

Europe is on board with hardline anti-proliferation policies, but is not backing unilateral U.S. strikes. They support shared diplomatic pressure, not bombs.

At NATO, expect Europe to support Trump's defense-spending push—but they’ll draw the line at endorsing an Iran military campaign lacking multilateral consensus.

[illisdean]

Trump still cleaning up Obama's American hating mess he (Obama) alone created.

President Trump could potentially be impeached for bombing Iran without congressional approval, as it may violate the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress the sole power to declare war (Article I, Section 8). The War Powers Resolution of 1973 further requires presidential notification to Congress within 48 hours of military action and limits such actions to 60-90 days without congressional authorization.

 

I'm sure that both House and Senate minority leaders were in the loop when Trump decided to pull this trigger. Anyway, taking a leaf from Putin's playbook, Russia never declared war on Ukraine, they conducted a "special operation". Bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran was a "special operation", not a declaration of war (if you ignore his fiery rhetoric and bluster on Truth Social).

 

Now, if this is a busted flush that does require the ongoing active involvement of US forces beyond 60-90 days, then I assume the whole congressional fandamily will get their five minutes of fame.

So, is it right to attack another country if it seems reasonable and you can achieve your targets that way?

Well, I think that would be the first time in about 80 years the US declared war.

I’m not sure taking a leaf out of Putin’s playbook is at all good thing.
