I can't believe you'd prefer putting more lives in danger and potentially broadening the conflict with Iran.

You just will justify anything this guy does; even treason.

Nope, not even close for me. I've criticized him for plenty of things he has done. Quit making shit up. I certainly don't have all the facts on this particular situation but it seems like you are taking Trump's press conference as 100% accurate although you've done nothing but call him a liar for the last 10+ years. Interesting on how you completely believe him when it fits your world view.

What if his actions of bombing Iran and allowing a US base to shoot down missels were to result in the US not getting into a prolonged campaign in the region? Would you say that the end justifies the means?

I can't stand Trump, but if that's what really happened, who knows because he lies constantly, then I think this was actually the best end.

You may say that people will justify anything he does, well you sir will complain about literally anything he does. To my knowledge, Iran hasn't done anything since to the US, and no one was killed or even injured...so what's really the problem?

[GoMuskies]

And by the way, it's NOT what happened. paul is taking Trump's typical hyperbole at face value here. Iran told Qatar. Qatar told us. Iran didn't call Trump and ask for his okay, and Trump didn't give Iran any sort of green light.

So we could either evacuate the base and shoot down their telegraphed missiles. Or we could make a bunch fo threats and escalate the situation with Iran.

paul wanted escalation apparently.

ah yes the democratic playbook. I mentioned this in my post to hoopster. If you don't like something on the left, or are against something that the left is trying to institute, it's because you're homophobic or a racist. It couldn't possibly be because the policy is complete crap.

It's that kind of thought process by those on the left that got Trump elected twice

Yup that line of thinking has been etched in their DNA for decades. Fear is a very powerful drug. And that goes for both sides.

You've got a good point about not believing what Trump says.

As for putting lives in danger and broadening the conflict...where were you when we pulled out of the multi-nation JPOA?

If you wanna go with the whataboutisms, how about unfreezing the 6 billion dollars? That might have something to do with all this

I'll take pivot and deflect for 800, Alex.

I’d like to thank you for keeping this thread going.

Regardless of whether you know it.
