Iran

[MontyPython]

Lmfao no one considers us to be a war with Nigeria, Venezuela, or Syria

Then clearly you don't understand what the definition of war is.

 

[Vol423]

I'm guessing you just missed the whole invasion of Venezuela. You might want to keep up with the times, Boudreaux.

Bombed Syria. Bombed Nigeria. Bombed Venezuela. All within a three weeks span.

So, still no new US wars.

Then clearly you don't understand what the definition of war is.

Lmfao yes. Clearly that’s the issue.

Not all military operations = war.

Nigeria asked for US Military support so that isn't war. Not sure why Syria is even the list. We were st war with Venezuela for an hour or so and won it.

Issue with US is not wars, it is rebuilds. Had we left Afghanistan and Iraq after we toppled the regime, we would have spent very little money and had almost 0 casualties.

 

[hog88]

Maybe all the Middle Eastern countries that we are allied with.

Jordan is the only one, other than KSA Jordan is the only country with any semblance of a military and we damn sure do’t want KSA involved.

Everyone now wants to pretend everything is Iraq again. It’s wild

the population of sunni majority countries have no interest in replacing a shia regime with a secular state that ignores or is cozy with Israel

I agree with monty insofar as these have been acts of war, but nobody believed "no new wars" was a genuine cry for peace, but rather "we dont want to spend decades/trillions on military adventurism"

That literally makes no sense whatsoever.

Try again.

 

[LSU-SIU]

This is adorable. Straight conspiracy nonsense laced with personal attacks to deflect from your inability to make anything resembling a reasonable argument.

1. “The way he got of Iran, that was the founding of ISIS”-Trump. He’s not saying “Obama funded, armed, and trained ISIS” as you’re pretending here.

2. The Clinton emails about Saudi never mentioned arms.

3. Hillary taking money from private Saudi citizens does not mean she was arming isis nor supporting them. If anything he emails showed she wanted to ensure no one was funding ISIS.



You were asked about funding ISIS. Your photo in no way showed anything close to that.

Some people believe in horoscopes, others believe the Russian times it seems

I appreciate all that but I just don't have that kind of time. If it sets your mind at ease, you're right. I would also recommend putting me on ignore, and forgetting anything I've said. Your life will probably be better for a bit, and the longer the better as far as I am concerned.

 

[Vol8188]

Try again.

You can’t tell the difference between an actual war and a military operation?

You think when he said “no new wars”, he meant “we won’t use our military even a little!”?

No thanks. I want to keep up with Putin’s talking points.

Don't worry, I say a good thing about Trump, I'm a Russian troll, if I say something bad I'm a Russian troll.

Whatever floats your boat.

Just like getting a little pregnant.

Heard of that place Vietnam?

You let me know when you’re children or grandchildren sign up for the military to go down to Venezuela to fight and die.

Yes, Vietnam was an actual war. Venezuela is not. I was hopeful you were starting to understand until you mentioned the laughable notion of our kids dying in Venezuela

With their logic, Jimmy Carter’s “Operation Eagle Claw” would have been considered an act of war.

 

[EasternVol]

The monarchy is viewed as a bridge to something permanent. Even Pahlavi doesn’t expect to rule as a monarch except possibly like a British monarch.

Good one.

From the Encyclopedia Britannica: War | History, Causes, Types, Meaning, Examples, & Facts | Britannica

war, in the popular sense, a conflict between political groups involving hostilities of considerable duration and magnitude. In the usage of social science, certain qualifications are added. Sociologists usually apply the term to such conflicts only if they are initiated and conducted in accordance with socially recognized forms. They treat war as an institution recognized in custom or in law. Military writers usually confine the term to hostilities in which the contending groups are sufficiently equal in power to render the outcome uncertain for a time. Armed conflicts of powerful states with isolated and powerless peoples are usually called pacifications, military expeditions, or explorations; with small states, they are called interventions or reprisals; and with internal groups, rebellions or insurrections. Such incidents, if the resistance is sufficiently strong or protracted, may achieve a magnitude that entitles them to the name “war.”

But our war was with Japan. We could have concentrated on Japan. I think we went into Europe to save the European allies.

Germany declared war on us further to that alliance mentioned by @McDad. We'd been gearing up for war with both.

Y'all should all go over to the Venezuela thread where this whole "No new wars" crap has already been debunked. Save some typing callouses.

 

[MAD]

Same playbook as Hamas: lie, kill, blame others. Which makes sense since Iran wrote the book.

So we're justified going into Iran, then?
