No. Are you wordsmithing. Airstrikes have their consequences and does have risks as well. There are many consequences that can and possibly result in Trump's action.So you are advocating for boots on the ground over air strikes, which have zero risk of US troop casualties?
It sounds like you know less about the Constitution than your correspondent.Make an actual point, not a blowhard statement for likes. Learn things, don't parrot anything. I already said I don't agree with the action, but Trump is well within his constitutional powers. Quit adding to the dumbing down of America to prove you know absolutely nothing about the Constitution. People like you are the problem, have been for my whole life. Educate yourself before parroting a party point
You know what assume means I am sure.
Did I say without using weapons? No, I did not.
Other methods available....convert operations. Lower risk---with less commitment and use of US forces.
You don't have to go full blown showmanship to accomplish/fulfill the same End state.
Trump has to have a I love me event.
Less risk without full blown combat.
Some think this is a video game. Wag the dog Trump's new Vietnam expect more lies and weapons of mass destruction.
Trump's Barnum & Bailey show. So many ways to take Iran out without using weapons.
Trump has his finger on the Nuke football and turning America into another season of Trump's Apprentice.
So many different ways to accomplish this task without all the bells and whistles.
Because they are human beings. Not arguing that war is the best way to help their situation, but why would you not hope that Iranians situation in life could be improved.
Bc doing the right thing would make them less money. We both know that’s all that matters to these psychopaths.How about this?...instead of spending lots of money and wasting the youth, lives, and mental health of our military to try to save people from a horrible regime, how about we just stop directly supporting other horrible regimes?
We'd do more good with less effort than we're currently expending.
Read the damn discussion. @MAD said he cared about the Iranian people. Someone else asked why we should care and I offered the quote you responded to, “because they are human”. I don’t mind debating but don’t appreciate your taking something totally out of context. My quote was not advocating war.Interesting.

Your major point, thanks for pointing out a minor detail. My point is the mission can be accomplished covertly with less Forces and much less risks not only for the forces but Americans abroad. Bottom line: Walk quietly and carry a big Stick.Yes, you actually did say “without weapons”.
So how? Even covert operations would require weapons.
How about this…screw you. I did not advocate for war, I responded to a question that asked why should we care about the people of Iran. I have friends who are Iranian immigrants and I care what happens to the people of Iran. Whether that means advocating war was not the question on the table.How about this?...instead of spending lots of money and wasting the youth, lives, and mental health of our military to try to save people from a horrible regime, how about we just stop directly supporting other horrible regimes?
