Iran

Jeremy Pruitt was an Iranian plant to ruin Vol Football and demoralize us.

Well then I fully support regime change here

Didn’t Rubio say Iran “has the desire” to obtain nuclear weapons? Love going to war based on perceived desires. Awesome.

The extremist Muslim who is waging a holy war is also building nuclear weapons that he ruled as haram. It’s hilarious

 

[OrangeTsar]

Bless your heart. Their religion is irrelevant, Iranians are good people.

Pre 1979, Iran was one of the more secularized Islamic states. Hopefully they retain enough living memory of that time.

Yoooo BOT @BigOrangeTrain - can we get a ruling here?

What are you talking about?

I think the narrative has changed a bit, which makes one suspicious. That is, the reason offered before was that Iran was actively working to enrich weapons grade uranium. But now, it appears that the explanation is that Iran was beefing up its air defenses so as to prepare to enrich uranium.

As I said earlier, I am not sure -- based on limited information at this time -- whether that explanation is valid or an after-the-fact justification in light of information that there really wasn't a significant change in their nuclear posture. Just saying the theory on it has subtly changed in the last few days.

Before the initial invasion, support for war with Iraq was around 66% amongst Americans. Immediately following the invasion, it went up to 70ish percent. That was the peak support for the war, approval only went down from there. If you were a kid, you wouldn’t recall Colin Powell going to the UN, making a famously inept speech trying to garner support from UN allies… most of whom weren’t buying what the Bush admin was selling. They all have their own intelligence agencies and knew WMDs were made up.

This is somewhat flawed as the Intel for WMD's dated back to at least the Clinton administration, Sadaam famously told his interviewer he made up and perpetuated that WMD program as a means to keep his enemies in Iran and elsewhere in check and insecure about escalating hostilities toward Iraq.

Artificial Intelligence removed the last remaining emergency brake on stupidity IMHO.
You can get AI to say whatever you want if you phrase the question correctly.

Paging @BigOrangeTrain

lol. Keep on looking dumb barkeep.

This is up to the people of Iran to nation build. We did what they couldn’t. If they put another horrible regime in to replace it then that’s on them

This. All the dancing/cheering about taking out a lot of bad people doesn't mean much if the opportunity is squandered and, as you say, the onus really isn't on us to finish the job. (and it damned well shouldn't be)

Pretty sure that action happened months ago when we obliterated their facilities. It's even more bogus this time around

I’d expect them to improve their defense systems when it couldn’t stop a fly last summer. They received s400’s from Russia in 2024 which obviously did not help. We should learn to stop starting wars off assumptions with no evidence

Please provide a link to your source.

It's pretty well known if you know anything about aircraft carriers particularly US carriers.

Myself and others have told you but you keep referencing AI that you obviously don't understand.

Aircraft carriers don't carry offensive weapons (except for the fighter aircraft they carry) they have limited range defensive weapons. Once again the carriers are going to be in open waters 100 miles plus out and not anywhere near the coast to do what you've been alleging.

Lol, you know

Hate to break it to you; but we didn’t start a war this weekend. We have been at war with Iran since they killed 241 of our soldiers in Beruit in 1983. This weekend, we decided was time to finally end said war.

Reality:

US intel did not suggest a preemptive strike from Iran before US-Israeli attacks, AP sources say

Trump administration officials told congressional staff in private briefings that U.S. intelligence did not suggest Iran was preparing to launch a preemptive strike against the U.S.

Yeah but he used 2 Kmart "red light"special things..it has to be true

There is innocent naive ignorance and there is malignant, deliberate, and demonic ignorance. I fear you have fallen into the later category.
Repent while there is still time.

Agree. Trump campaigned that Iran was not to get a nuclear weapon just as much as he did on closing the southern border.

Wait until you find out who killed the last Tsar.. It led to famine and the deaths of millions of Christians.

Is killing American military members grounds for war? Not being sarcastic here.

Boots on the ground is gonna be a b*tch for anyone who puts them in Iran
Probably us but I hope not, really don't like us attacking them either.

I don't think we'll have troops in Iran, it would be political suicide for the Rs.
