Trump misplayed this. Wasted time negotiating with the religious wackos is a waste of time. Even if you got an agreement it will not be honored.

Destroy the regime, destroy their nuclear program and go on your way.
"Wasted time!?" Tomorrow, next week, next month, next year… in war speed is relative. If Iran isn't currently making material strides towards a bomb, Trump needn't strike in haste.


You can never know that for sure. You don't know if they are for sure. We know for sure they were close or maybe had one or at least components. It's hard to say for certain.

They could certainly load up one of their cluster warheads with radioactive material and have a dirty warhead.

Death to Israel, Death to America. They have been at war with us for years.
My caveat was there for a reason. But it's pretty reasonable to assume that Israel targeting the nuclear know-how has put a pause on their progress & if they DO have a deployable capability: it's currently got Israel's name on it.

You're right I should have said we were trying to stop the Vietnamese people from kicking out the regime that the French installed after WW2 so they could keep plundering the natural resources for Europe.

Either way it wasn't our fight to be involved with.

I notice you didn't comment on the other points.......

Ok...

It's not just about Iran vs Israel and 80 year old weapon technology.
Yes...it really is.

And what is the 80 year old weapon technology? Nuclear weapons? Because, it doesn't matter how old THAT tech is, it's still dangerous.

He's going to do whatever tf he wants and maga is going to support it. Period. He should just say we're not having midterms, that'll solve that problem and there won't be pushback. But on the topic:


Should he get approval? Yes.

Will he? No.


Does maga care? No.


Do I want to go to war with Iraq 2.0? No.

Have you been asleep the last week? Huge portions of "MAGA" absolutely won't support him.

You are projecting how your side acts.

How about not have a primary and just install candidate? I heard that works.

There used to be a bar on 4th street in Austin called Fordow. It closed down during Trump's first term. Coincidence? I think not.

I asked this in the other thread, but it got deleted and not sure why because it was in line with the act. I guess that thread is for OSINT information.

That being said: I've already seen a poster talk about the War Powers Act; considering that, what power is Trump pulling from to launch this attack? With no approval from Congress, is there a Bush Era act that he's using that's still viable?

The War Powers Act checks the Executives powers when it comes to unilaterally attacking a foreign country at will. He is supposed to seek approval from Congress is he not?

He cannot launch an unprovoked attack on a foreign government. Good grief. He just committed a war crime.

Congress is only needed to declare war. We didnt declare War on Iran, we just broke their toys and all leverage in the negotiation. This has been happening since the 1950s.

He can attack, he can't declare war.
Otherwise Obama would have violated that more times than we can count

I mean bombing their country pretty clearly demonstrates an act of war.

I don't think you know what constitutes a war crime.
