    I personally think Trump went to war with Iran mainly to burnish his own legend

    though it does dovetail with the perceived interests of the major recipient of US military aid besides Egypt in the Levant, fellow Peace Board member Bibi Netanyahu and the Trump administration's various speculative partners in the New Gaza, so i guess there's a familial business interest too
    Countless dumb wars start because leaders think they will be relatively easy. Bush undoubtedly thought the Iraq war would be over in a matter of weeks or months at the most.

    He's essentially saying Israel was going to preemptively strike Iran and then Iran would have struck us; therefore we had to preemptively strike Iran. . We have a structurally failing government. It's sad but true.
    Yes, as I said we only did this because of Israel. Thanks for agreeing.

    Yes, I agree. You should go further though and blame the entire system. Biden was literally arming Israel during the war with Gaza. So it doesn't matter who is in power. We get dragged in either way. This is of course much bigger but I don't really doubt Biden would be more than willing to do something similar had he still been in power.

    not sure why the US needs limitless stockpiles of air defense munitions for "major combat operations" but even so, claiming we have limitless stockpiles is surely erroneous and coming from Trump, a sign of deception

    whether Iran has drones and missiles sufficient to exhaust the supply of US interceptors and the will to use them, seems like something the US might be better off not finding out

    Do the Kurds remember that Trump hung them out to dry in 2018? Pretty sure Turkiye hasn't forgotten

    President Trump spoke by phone with Kurdish leaders in Iraq on Sunday to discuss the U.S.-Israel war with Iran and what might come next, three sources with knowledge of the calls told Axios.

    I think Iran can out last the will of the US as oil prices tank the affordability issue. I live at Lake McQueeney and drive by a Loves truck stop at 5:45 in the morning. They were literally changing their prices as I drove by...digits spun and gas went from 2.55 to 3.05 just like that and we haven't seen the worst of it. 3 weeks ago West Texas oil was $58 dollar a barrel and it's $77 a barrel this morning.

    No.

    Your whataboutism doesn't work here.

    This is your Trump.

    Kash Patel Fired Entire Team of Iran Experts Right Before Trump’s War

    Kash Patel baselessly fired an elite team of agents specializing in foreign threats from the Middle East just days before Donald Trump launched an illegal military campaign in Iran.

    Patel terminated a dozen employees and staff after accusing them—without providing evidence—of improperly investigating Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified do ents at his Mar-a-Lago residence. The FBI director specifically gutted a group known as CI-12, a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran and its proxies. Days later, Trump toppled Iran’s regime and sparked a sprawling regional conflict in the Middle East.

    The targeting of this global espionage team was first reported on by The New York Sun.

    It’s not surprising that the members of CI-12 were involved in investigating Trump for holding onto classified do ents after he left the White House in 2020. CI-12 is charged with media leaks and the mishandling of classified do ents, and the do ents found at Trump’s estate reportedly included U.S. military plans for Iran.

    Biden armed and funded Israel’s genocide against Palestine killing tens of thousands of women children.

    just because he didn’t invade Iran, doesn’t mean he wasn’t a stooge for Israel.
