Problem is that Trump does not think anything through. All his ideas and policies eventually turn out badly. We saw that in the first Trump Administration and it's happening daily now. The man has far less guardrails than the last Administration. And it shows. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie, and he has the most unqualified bunch of monkeys surrounding him for this reason. Of course people want a change in the Iranian Regime. However to sit here and say Trump is concerned about free elections and freedom for the Iranians is a laugh. Trump does not even care about American freedom or elections, or free press or anything else. Like everything he does this will end poorly for everyone around him. 

Gawd you whine a lot. 

I didn't say Trump is concerned with anything other than keeping nukes our of the hands of Iran.

As for successes...border...deportations...lower gas prices...reduced inflation...

Not bad...not bad at all, considering the mess you Tweenkies left behind.

Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Only if you don't care about actually selling the war so the military is MOTIVATED.

Are you saying that if a president hasn’t served in the military that the military won’t be motivated?

Of course you're LYING as USUAL Inflation has not been reduced just because Trump changed the metric and no longer uses the CPI.

I am saying that longer term motivation to fight depends on soldiers believing the war is righteous. AKA are sold on it.

Of course if Trump hews to his current promise of no boots on the ground, jet jockeys are less motivation dependent.

OK, give us the CPI numbers. What was inflation when Biden was in office compared to now?

are you basing this opinion on your long years of service?

As Democrat and Liberal governments fall, Republicans and Conservatives come to the rescue.

Look folks, it’s simple what America wants, pick another despot that align with America’s interests, if not it’ll be an explosive veto.

Which is pretty much why Iran wanted nukes.

What if Iran had nukes?

https://strategiecs.com/en/analyses/what-if-iran-had-the-nuclear-bomb

"Theoretically speaking, Iran’s possession of a nuclear weapon doesn’t prevent its coexistence with Israel on the basis of the balance of terror rule, as is the case with the relations between India and Pakistan,

Or: The case of Iran and Israel cannot be compared to that of India and Pakistan, for neither Islamabad nor New Delhi openly adopted a discourse calling to wipe the other out or target the other’s very existence, as is the case in the relationship between Iran and Israel."

I think the latter. Religion is inherently irrational, and so are its true believers. Any nuclear arsenal wielded as an extension of religious authority--the smiting hands of ill-conceived gods--cannot be trusted to play according to game theory. The "D" in MAD only concerns Earthly destruction, and that's not an effective deterrent to anyone who believes that they are taking direction from the creator of the universe.

The bigots gotta bigot. 
 

Im pretty sure this is one of the big reasons you hide like a coward from me. You want so bad to push this nonsense about religious people and don’t like getting called out, well, at least having to see it.

Sure, it's theoretically possible that if they have nukes they don't use them. It's also entirely theoretically possible that they (or their ruler) go nuts and decide to 'river to the sea' israel and preemptively nuke  it in the name of allah. 

IT's also theoretically possible that next time the US has a carrier battle group in the area they manage to get a boat or sub withn 3 or 4 miles and light one off.  How many navy personelle in a 2 carrier battle group again? How many billions goes to the bottom if they do that? And nobody can PROVE for sure who it was? Pretty tempting if tensions are high.

Sure.  It's hard to compare any two countries like that to be fair but it's not JUST israel who'd be at risk. Neither india or pakistan are likely to pick fights with the USA, but iran frequently does.  And they already have missiles that can reach into europe in their inventory right now

Context  matters and you're deliberately taking that quote out of context to try and make a very poorly organized point that was too weak to stand on its own

Unfortunate that you're so stupid you believe ANY of the MULTIPLE LIES coming from the Trump admin.

Killing 40-50 of the top government officials is CLEARLY an effort to change the regime. Duh

Only way it won't do that is if Iran's succession plan works the way it was designed, and the successors don't cave to Trump's PLANS.
