US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

I doubt the families of the 3 dead American soldiers think it’s going fantastic.

Do you honestly believe Iran was a present threat to Europe or the US?

It's war, casualties are always highly likely, you can't be that naive to think there wouldn't be any? The devastation of their Regime Epic Fure Operation itself is what's so impressive. To destroy so much of their top command, nuclear and missile capability since last June to now is going to neuter them long term for the betterment of everyone.

You would have preferred the old Islamic Rep Regime to exist continuing on with their proxy wars and terror?
They wouldn’t be dead if this ‘war’ hadn’t started. What happened to no more foreign wars?
The US’s own intelligence said that Iran was not actively pursuing a bomb and was years away from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Day 1 of this war and the USA had a terror attack on its own soil.

100%, though I doubt they will be needed on the ground. It's now or never and like so many oppressed Iranians who crave for change and the end of the Islamic Republic I couldn't be happier that this has finally being done. Long overdue end to sponsored terror of these evil cunts that have reached It's tentacles of terror across swathes of population.

You would have preferred for the status quo under Khamenei and his loyalists calling the shots still?

It's not the same situation. Conflicts in the past were never going to make material change in the region like crushing this one. This is the head of the beast which needed toppling the most.
The entire point of Afghanistan was to topple the Taliban - and look who ended up replacing them.
There's dozens of other crazy Islamic clerics lined up to take over......... are you happy to commit troops into Iran to oversee change to the 'right' one?

Like ripping off the band aid. Keep smashing the Islamic regime till it leads to tangible change. Crush the cunts till they can't take any more.

You could ask for them to give it back but I doubt they’ll listen.

Does Ukraine/ Europe have the money and military might to take it back?

More good news for those that are worried for Europe. Although I’m sure the EU might take issue with it.

Yeh because I’m always posting about the Jews aren’t I? Just when I thought your posts couldn’t get any dumber. I see you side stepped the actual issue about regime change because you don’t have the answer.

Which one’s your hero? Saville? Glitter? Jackson?
