Don't lump me in...Trump said he would never start a war and negotiate out of the current wars on day one.

We don't give the idiots nukes. What we do is spend almost 4 billion a year to Israel for military operations. There is zero need for the U.S. to be involved in this, and all it does is further piss off our enemies. How many times does the U.S need to do this shit in the middle east over and over again to learn our lesson? Let them blow each other up.

What did we accomplish? maybe some time...great.

Well, it appears the “family man” criminal alien the leftists have hitched their wagon to was back on the streets yesterday leading a crowd calling for Muslims to kill Christians and Jews. You guys sure know how to pick ‘em.

Get your point and we shouldn't be in the ukraine war either but the question is what would all these middle east countries do if they knew the US wouldnt be there to back Isreal?

My answer to that is we give 4 billion a year to Israel. I think that’s enough, and it’s enough for the Middle East countries to know not to provoke us.

I think this was a unique opportunity that we had to take. Israel did the dirty work, and we just sent the bad asses over from Kansas City to finish that part of the job because Israel could not. If we start to talk about putting people on the ground, then I'll share XVille's concerns. But that seems quite unlikely.

If you're not happy that Fox is praising Israeli strikes in Iran, and think you want to get in on the action to prove how tough you are...maybe it's not such a good idea to say you'll make a decision in 2 weeks. Just saying you're thinking about it might cause someone to do something.

"Senior US officials conceding they did not know the fate of Iran’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium.According to Israeli officials Iran removed equipment and uranium from bombed sites." So, overall, ambiguity on whether US indeed took out stockpiles.

ok, but when Iran inevitably retaliates and kills us military personnel and/or civilians in the middle east, then what?

They've been doing that anyway. We'll bomb them some more. Or give Israel even more of a green light. I suspect not a great strategy for Iran.

So, war with iran with the ending being what? That's why we should stay out of it. Give 4 billion a year and let Israel fight their own damn battles.
