can you imagine how the right wing would be howling if a Dem war-of-choice had killed four Americans already and cost us billions of dollars, including 3 F15s?
I mean Repubs yelled about Benghazi for a decade. That's the hair trigger they are on.
It’s war. I can’t think of a single war where nobody died. It takes time to achieve air superiority. Once you have air superiority, it’s game over for the opponent.

Tell that to the Taliban.
Mo-ran.
Iran isn't Afghanistan. Go look at Persia in history. The Iranians are more than capable of governing themselves and building great societies. Go look at Cyrus the Great and Darius.

right, yeah, when a Republican orders the war, it's just how it goes.
until a Dem is handed a shltshow of a war started by a Republican. Then it's BENGHAZZZZZIIIII! MAYOR PETE CANKLES YALE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS POLITICS!!!!!
Pete Hegseth in 2024: " I've been a recovering neocon for six years now...The foolishness with which we ricocheted around the world intervening, thinking it was in our best interest when really we just overturned the table and created something worse."

Talk about missing a point.
Actually worse than that, because your reply, if taken at face value, actually reinforces the point. The lowly (not Persian!) Taliban succeeded despite not one second of air superiority across 20 years. So, if the Persians are far greater, what does that tell you about THEIR ability to make life difficult for an enemy who has air superiority?
Americans overwhelming support Trump's strike on Iran. They can NEVER have a nuclear weapon!
Liar. Where did you get the “overwhelming support” conclusion from? Do a poll at LRC, and let’s see how much support Don and Pete are getting. Lying and distracting. The maga way.
Trump compares sending Troops to meet death to having the yips over a golf putt.
New: Trump does not rule out sending troops to Iran “if they were necessary.”: “I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground — like every president says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it,” Trump told the New York Poston Monday. “I say ‘probably don’t need them,’ [or] ‘if they were necessary.’”

Hey Trumpers
Every single statement Trump makes no matter what the topic gets turned to be about himself and his wonderfulness. When will you ever not accept his pathology as normal and push back?

Put another way, insurgencies (or prospective insurgencies) LAUGH at the supposed importance of air superiority. See Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq…..
I served in Afghanistan across 3 tours, and often found it fascinating that an opponent with not a SINGLE aircraft was doing so well against a super power, NATO, etc. The Taliban are VERY bad people, but boy, they sure have balls and abilities (just like every other successful insurgency).

How are Barron’s yips going with respect to visiting a military recruiter in the near future?
Sending thousands of young men to a high risk of death is very similar to the angst one has making a short golf put. Almost identical actually.
Trump really hit the nail on the head with this analogy. Great to have him as commander in chief. NO doubt the families of service members sleep better at night knowing he is leading.
First term, Trump unilaterally removed the US from the Iran Nuclear Deal that allowed inspection of all of Iran's nuclear facilities. This allowed Iran more economic freedom and stopped Nuclear development. Trump imposed economic sanctions that hurt the country and its people and drove them to restart their nuclear enrichment program.
Term two, Trump "obliterated" Iran's nuclear ability. Done, Over. But wait... Now we are re-obliterating it. We lost US military lives and a billion worth of US equipment. Dozens of Innocent people in the region have been killed by the bombing and retaliation. Oil and other shipping is being halted or destroyed.
This is all because Trump's fragile ego could not accept that a good deal was made without him. So he opted for something much worse. He owns these American soldier's deaths.
