Another quagmire in the Middle East…..

Seems some still can't differentiate between being a Subject versus being a Citizen of a free country.

Regardless, that's why we are trying to avoid inflicting pain and devastation on the "People" of Iran, but no hesitation in doing so for the intolerant ruling class, aka Oppressors of the Subjects of the ruling class. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do

And that’s still not a good reason to get involved in a nascent revolution involving a religious group that controls enough resources to destabilize such an important region.

The OP used the word quagmire for a reason.

Quagmire: a complicated and difficult situation that is hard to escape from.

Is that why "we" are threatening to "obliterate" their energy infrastructure and ability to provide fresh water for the population? Can you elaborate on how these actions are limited to "the intolerant ruling class" and not the general population?


I'd say it's quite the contrary, the ruling class will have the wealth and means to obtain energy sources and fresh water while the general population suffers. If you'd like an example, Gaza is a starting point. Russia, China, North Korea can provide additional examples if needed.

Reports today have Trump calling his own bluff.

^^explain?

He says he will win the war without opening the Strait of Hormuz.

He. Is. NCM.

And I challenge anybody to prove that he isn’t.

I said a while ago it was time to declare victory and limp home. That is exactly what Trump and Hegseth intend to do. I am not sure Nettie, however, will go along with that plan and I expect them to make some action that will tie the US's hands and require us to take even more action in Iran. Trump is now likely trapped and has no easy way out.

nuke em, let god sort em out


let em see what they want ta do ta us close up

Ya Iran and Russia are close allies. Lets just start WWIII.

Russia already helping Iran with targeting our assets in the region.

Seems they have a rapid vaporization of destabilization resources these days.

Wait! Wut?!? Was that another B52 bombing run I heard?-)

Are you just Hope(Doom)-Casting again?
Dunno 'bout you, but I'm feeling very Olympic today. Hope their general population is as well.


Lighten up Francis...
