  1. Again you had no issue with the previous admin doing it. Honestly I'd consider giving someone weapons to kill our soldiers and act of war as well. More than $100 billion to Ukraine to kill Russians. Different story when you sell them. We know Iran has done this and even attacked our bases....yes after we killed some of their people but they were not in Iran.
  2. You know my position on this topic however I don't recall you posting anything on Biden's broken promises like a cure for cancer.
  3. Every single President since FDR took military action without a congressional declaration of war and none has ever to be found unconstitutional. People should STFU about this one being beyond his authority. FFS Obama targeted and killed an American citizen (and his teenage son) abroad with a missile strike.
  4. I graduated in 1988. Does that make me a white supremist to?
  5. Did you think this way when we were sending billions of dollars in weapons to Ukraine to kill Russians? Its really not that different as Russia felt completely justified in their going into Ukraine.
  6. Bombing someone is an act of war. If any country hit 3 of our most important nuclear sites I'd expect congress to declare war in a matter of hours. It doesn't matter how WE look at it only how they do. This is no different than how Russia seen NATO advancement east. NATO is like we are just a defensive organization who is putting missiles and weapons......all over your border. Better hope.
  7. Day or so before the attack. Sure hope we tracked where all 16 of these trucks went. Any single one of them could have carried away what the IAEA claims Iraq has of weapons grade Uranium.
  8. Again I wish we would have had at least the Saudi's and Jordanians take out these facilities but any complaints from the left is laughable hypocrisy.
  9. Like it or not but much of Trump's support was on 2 issues. Immigration and not getting into conflicts. Real easy to say what you are without being a family who had a member deployed to that shithole (ME) multiple times not to mention those close to someone who lost their life or were significantly wounded. America is fed up with wars.
  10. It appears at least right now the casualties appear to be low. If they weren't we'd be hearing and seeing it. That should help some. It is foolish for them to come out and say our civilians are targets. They go that route and my opinion changes quickly.
  11. The hypocrisy from the left on this is hilarious. That being said I 100% think we should have let the regional enemies of Iran take out their military program even if it meant THEIR boots on the ground. Is Iran a threat to our troops in the ME.....absolutely......solution......get them the fuck out of there. I'm as anti radical Islam as they come I just don't believe the benefit outweighs the resolve we just put into more Muslims. Will this hurt Trump/GOP in the Midterms? It surely won't help. My sense on the social media in my algorithms is the support for this is 75% at best with a mix many like me saying they still support Trump just not this action and others now regretful of their support.
  12. If the GOP could get it done they need to expand ER to at least 5 years more likely 10. Because Biden left so many in it will take years to get to even a small % of them. Without question this was part of Biden admin's plan. Overload the system. Trump admin was smart in turn to officially recognize at least some of the gangs as FTO's so he could use the alien enemies act to remove them as there is no statute of limitations. In my opinion the court got this wrong and should have allowed it for even the smallest amount of evidence an illegal is or was in one of these gangs. The are violent extremists that need removal immediately. I'm not sure the court has a role in saying those designations are unconstitutional as the executive has always been given broad powers when it comes to immigration.
  13. We sure have and by law expedited removal can happen any time inside 2 years and ANYWHERE in the country. Obama expanded it greatly to 100 miles from the border. Saying someone is Illinois shouldn't be able to be removed by ER is complete bullshit. What about people overstaying VISA's? They are fucking everywhere. The law is the law....inside two years you can be removed with no court hearing. 500K to almost a million overstay VISA's every year. Its the huge not talked about problem with immigration that should be easy to track. Expansion of Geographical Scope: While expedited removal was initially applied at ports of entry, the Obama administration oversaw the expansion of its use to those encountered within 100 miles of the border and within 14 days of entry without inspection. However, this expansion was not to the full, nationwide extent that has been ordered by recent administrations. High Volume of Removals without Court Hearings: Data shows that a significant percentage of formal removals under the Obama administration, averaging around 74%, were conducted through expedited removal and reinstatement of prior orders, meaning these individuals did not have a hearing before an immigration judge
  14. Same should go for congress.....term limits would likely be all that's needed but should be a max age there as well.
  15. Likely the latter. Pretty sure we did the same at Pearl. I do think at least previously much of Mossad's attention is at finding and taking out anything to do with Nuclear weapons, rocket locations and leadership locations. Its possible an attack of Oct 7 slipped under their radar. Their ability to assassinate someone is really second to none. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassinations_of_Iranian_nuclear_scientists Probably not a more dangerous job on earth than being a Iranian Nuclear scientists. Read how some of these guys were taken out. Movie type shit.
  16. I think a few Israeli jets have been shot down but seems to me Iran air defenses including aircraft are far less than expected. If that is the case conventional ground forces are likely weak as well. Kind of foolish constantly talking smack when you really are quite weak.
  17. Its highly unlikely they would ever release its full capabilities. Also unlikely they release how deep that facility really is for the same reason.
  18. Strange times indeed....possibly on the verge of changing the worst regime in the world when it come to islamic fund and terrorism if this can spur the Iranian people to action or China moves on Taiwan and we are on the doorstep of WW3. Pretty sure it will just be Israel setting back Iran's nuke program by half a decade or so and nothing else. Kind of surprised Israel doesn't have 1 or a few B2's and a small stockpile of these bunker busters. Not that Iran thinks this is just Israel anyway.
  19. I do think there is some risk of terrorism in the US if we get involved. Let's face it lots of people came thru the southern border under Biden that we have ZERO clue as to who they are. Couple former CIA analyst have discussed this on some prominent podcasts. Not saying they are trustworthy sources but if it did occur I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. This is a concern because it might entice Trump to go all in and put boots on the ground. He would hammer them if American's are killed. Then does China take the opportunity to invade Taiwan. I don't envy having to make those decisions.
  20. There comes a time when you have to realize what's done is done and do what's best for your people. I know easier said than done but both countries leaders should think of their people. Iran is not having significant civilian casualties yet but giving up the goal of nukes would likely benefit them tremendously thru lifting of trade sanctions. I don't expect either but hopefully some common sense comes forward sooner rather than later.
  21. Not sure I agree that we could track it that well. If we could then why isn't the admin showing the world more proof of their capabilities? I'm suspicious of our IC. For the most part I simply don't trust them at all.
  22. I honestly don't think there is a chance the US puts boots on the ground....the only possibility of that would be if the UN or a coalition is formed and I don't see that happening as it would have to be made up of majority of Muslim countries and while many hate Iran they won't go that far as they could be next. Iran could and would likely turn into Iraq 2.0. No weapons found and an insurgent war possibly worse than the previous one. Only difference with Iran is it don't have the many different "tribes" and split of Shia/Sunni Iraq had. One side didn't want revenge for years of mistreatment and exclusion from power. Its 90-95% Shia. I also think its laughable the idea that the country will have some sort of revolution and demand regime change. That's wishful thinking at best.
  23. Not sure I buy that. They could easily usher it out of country. Pretty sure Saddam did that with what chemical arsenal he had left.
  24. The old boomers you always see interviewed at rally's are too fucking cheap to give them any money.
