Yep. 54-37% favor today's military action. There's a guy on this board who would dispute these numbers and tell us what the 54% "really" feel, not what they'd tell a pollster. Hahahaha... but this poll he likes, so I'm sure he'll call it legit.
27% yes
43% no
Rest unsure
56% say Trump is too willing to use military force
Americans generally are not war mongers. And the rationale for this, just as for Venezuela, was not explained to the public.

Its just a message board. Settle down.
People really in their feelings lately. Somehow they expected that people would think this was a good idea. It’s just really expensive bungling that gets people killed. An old religious cleric was killed and a new one will be chosen that isn’t as old. The formidable Iranian security apparatus remains in place. And now the Iranian public is crossed pressured by nationalistic sentiments.
There isn’t a plan here past the bombing. They as much as told us that.

Ahhhh yes, the core of all good religions it NOT helping others.

To protect and enrich yourself at the expense of anyone and everyone around is certainly a core tenant of the small hats.

If they are so enamored of Christian principles, renounce Judaism, accept Christ as your personal savior, and live those principles daily.

Don't put it on a ******* billboard that we're not doing enough for you. That's disgusting.

I argue that the rationale for taking out Maduro and eliminating the Iranian regime were both explained to the public. It was clearly explained that taking out Maduro was to stem the illicit drug flow into America. It was clearly explained that taking out the Iranian regime was to prevent them from enriching uranium and obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Current list of countries Iran has fired on...

Israel
Yemen
Bahrain
Qatar
UAE
Kuwait
Iraq
Jordan
Saudi Arabia
Syria
Pakistan
Afghanistan


I can't remember being more fascinated about a story than this one in a long time... Sans our last presidential election,

But I have to wonder if one of the reasons they're attacking so many countries is because they have 0 communications...Don't know who is in charge of anything....And they just want to fire a missile because they feel completely helpless.

The irony is the people in Iran who are most angry with the regime are Iranian liberals, college students, the well educated, and liberal woman who don't want to be subjugated under sharia law. There was a weird juxtaposition when ICE were literally killing American born protestors in Minnesota, while at the same time Trump was telling the Iranian regime to not harm liberal Iranian protestors. We will find out later that a majority of Iranians preferred the relative of peace of the regime vs. what is coming. Just like Iraqis, Afghanis, Syrians, Libyans..
The deaths in Minnesota were tragic but not planned. Iran killed 30,000 of their own people on purpose. A bit of a difference.

They don't demand OTHER people to do more to their own direct benefit via billboard.

You're really not defending this, are you?

How would it look if the Lutherans took out a billboard demanding cheaper lutefisk from the Jews?

The essential message of such a billboard is:
we, as jews, are under no obligation to examine our beliefs or behaviors in trying to understand and remedy our conflicts in the world. Rather, we are aware that you - as Christans - have a contract with God via Jesus to love your neighbor, defend the persecuted, turn the other cheek, etc. We are here to hold you to that contract to our own benefit and protection.

Its called."being used" and Christ never said THAT was required.

This is for the military guys. Trump said the US was cutting off trade with Spain due to them not allowing the United States military to use their air bases. So is it odd that a Spanish military cargo plane is running training missions over Camp Shelby?

Hopefully the boomers are ready to have their grandkids die for Isreal, die because our politicians r@ped little kids on Epstein Island. This war is a disaster, it will be a long war because it's what Isreal wants. Maga is finished.

And the iron dome isn't going to last much longer. Iran has way more rockets/drones than isreal has for it's air defense. Israel is ready to use nuclear weapons against Iran.

The thing is...they are not fighting "a war", they are fighting a religion. This won't end unless we basically hit the "reset" button on that country.
The only way you can eliminate an ideology is to eradicate everyone ever exposed to it. That includes innocents and those aware (even our own). As long as the idea exists, it can be breathed into life. Kinda like the phrase 'only a dead man can keep a secret', but in this its an ideology. Think about it, a child in Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan/any US adversary could possibly grow up indifferent to America, but I'm positive if we bomb tf out of their home and kill their parents, we will absolutely more than likely have played a large part in radicalizing that child as they grow up to hate America and want vengeance. Its a vicious cycle that honestly has no end. Even if you could agree to a truce/cease fire/peace, could you actually trust each other? The resentment of 'what you did to us' will always be there on both sides. You all better have stock in defense contractors. Might as well make some money on all this.

Definitely a lot of truth in this post, but radical Islam has existed for centuries and attacked the western world often without provocation. It will continue to exist whether we are bombing them or not.

It may not exist in Iran much longer because they weren’t always like this and they’re not gonna be like that much longer.

We will never eliminate it. It is next to impossible. The only way is to literally eliminate everyone and everything exposed to it (the ideology), which includes you and I. And I am not advocating for that. As with all conflicts, both sides believe they are in the right.

Fair enough, I wasn't aware of the brutality of the recent protests, just expected them to be more similar to the ones around the pandemic that had lower casualties.

Speaking of disasters, looks like you aren’t doing any better.

I do think equivalent response might be an important concept, and resisting using power because you can is important. As bad as 9/11 was as a spectacle and to the American psyche, its death toll would be dwarfed by the numbers killed in the middle east following this event. I think Americans carried the same attitude as many "exceptional people", that for every one of us killed we need to kill 10,20,30 etc more of the enemy. Of course, this could work to "teach a lesson", about messing with America, or it could just exacerbate the violent, and probably worst of all, force us to "police" the world with our taxes because so many people hate America. Wouldn't it be nice to have 500 billion a year to spend on rebuilding infrastructure, modernizing cities, education and just improving life instead of having to root out people who have cause to attack us.

Where do you get your news from? This is day five and we are kicking *** spectacularly. It could not have gone any better. That’s not to say there won’t be some tough fighting ahead.
You’re talking to someone who has a stage name and probably enjoys dressing up and reading to children at “story hour,” so keep that in mind when communicating with them

Boomer conservatives are as bad as modern leftists when it comes to shouting "Nazi" at a position they can't defend.

It's even worse because they shouldn't be that stupid.
Boomers on the left and right can't help it. Their only source of news for 50 years was state ran propaganda. Also most boomers still consume this propaganda on a daily basis. It is sad and unfortunate, but you are wasting your time trying to get through to these people.

You do realize the only reason they have invaded Europe is we have we have destabilized Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Afghanistan and Iran non stop since 2001? We have killed and displaced 100s of millions in only 25 years at the behest of a radicalized theocratic government with stolen American nukes, ooops i mean Isreal.....

Any person from any religion exposed to this evil would be radicalized too.

Thanks Obama. We get it - white man bad, poor muslims are oppressed and that is why they are terrorists. Get your head out of the sand. Their Quran TELLS them to murder us. They murder us whether we leave them alone or kick their *ss all over the map.

What about the Muslim terrorists living free in America, not oppressed, economically sound, they have all the rights in the world and still do jihad in the name of Allah, murdering so many.

Blame Whitey. Great strategy

You already called me a boomer, I replied I’m 43, so please don’t say it again.

Can you, and your other antisemite buddies on the board, educate all of us idiots (goy, if I’m doing this correctly) what news sources we should be listening to? If your only answer is shady X accounts, please count me out. Or maybe fringe podcasts? Or I suppose just a deep dive into the dark web. I hope you and your enlightened brothers all have your bomb shelters in place for the inevitable nuclear strike from Israel, the supreme evil 🙄
