Come on man, you can't simultaneously believe that Iran's nuclear program was completely obliterated 8 months ago and it's already built back to the point where we have no choice but to attack them because they are about to have one ready to go.
Military strikes have begun in Iran

If only the carrier group that was there hadn’t been sent off to the Spanish Main to blow up ski boats.
C'mon man you can't possibly admit you don't know the difference between an enrichment facility and the production of an actual weapon utilizing assets and support that you already have? Can you admit that?
Would hit it - sorry clinton

Fire the press secretary. Trump told them to add an “ish” on the end of that headline
And they shouldn't be in charge. I wish we weren't the only nation in the world both willing and capable of trying to change that, but here we are.
I agree with you, but in the face of the obvious media bias against him for a decade now I understand why some on his side swing too far to the blind support side of things.
For every media source "biased against" Trump, there is an equally prominent media source "biased in favor of" Trump, not to mention all of the slop on social media. Trump supporters rarely encounter anti-Trump media content in the first place.
If only you knew how the Navy's fleets operated and their areas of operation. If only you knew what assets are needed for certain operations.
Better question is "does this president know this?"
His direct assessment: "Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term!"
Does he know what's going on? Is he making decisions? Is he competent enough to be making these decisions? Was he lying because he knows his base allows it?
Guy looks and sounds more like old man Biden every passing day now - just a few extra big Mac's on the frame. Who is giving him his info and who is making these decisions bc he is not articulating reality.
This is simply not true, and no I'm not wasting time debating you on it.
I watch some form of PBS content almost every day, and when I happen to catch anything from them news related it is dripping with obvious bias. I could give a dozen other examples but it wouldn't sway you in the least so...moving on.
I'm not crazy about it and he should answer concerning the first strike and why that was not sufficient. What he has, however, is access to intelligence, and knows way more about the situation than us armchair quarterbacking.
I didn't say that anti-Trump content doesn't exist at all, but that there's just as much (if not more) pro-Trump media content out there. Fox News and it's viewers are constantly bragging that they're the #1 rated news network, seemingly unaware of what that implies about the overall state of "media bias"
Fox is one news channel and they aren't 100% in the tank for Trump if you haven't noticed. Unlike the MSM who slobs the knob of any demonrat who comes on. They are also willfully blind on issues that look bad for the dems as well. Give it a rest.
Spare me the media bias argument. The people who tend to swing "too far to the blind side" probably never watch any news other than Fox, Newsmax, or OAN and would never deign to watch CNN. Fox routinely owns the majority of market share of "news viewership" but everything else gets labelled "mainstream media." It's ridiculous.
As for this particular situation, this belongs to the Trump Administration and them alone (IMO). They withdrew us from the negotiated deal (right or wrong) and now decided that military action was necessary (right or wrong).
I do believe that if Iran got nukes, they would be more likely to use them than other nations, so the situation needs addressing, but if regime change is the goal here, our track record has not exactly been good.
Media is biased towards whatever the owners and stockholders tell it to be biased towards. There's a product for everyone. And that's the problem. It's not viewed as a service to a free society - it's a product to be sold and consumed.
A president administration flip flopped on an issue they campaigned against
Water is wet
The news hasn't been the news in decades. They deliver a narrative based on their own biases and rarely ever state "just the facts". I haven't watched a news broadcasts in years and don't believe any post on social media if I can't verify it myself with actual facts. Unfortunately most people nowadays automatically believe anything that lines up with their world views and never read past the healines.
I would bet the Israelis know EXACTLY what Iran's capabilities are right now. Not saying it was or was not justification for us to attack at this point but I am saying there was accurate intelligence available.
Watch the nightly news on all of the major networks ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox and whatever else you consider major and tell me how many lean left and how many lean right.
If you're honest, it'll be one to the right and everybody else to the left.
And of course Fox has huge numbers. They are the only network that actually considers the views of an entire half of the country that is ignored by every other network. But I honestly watch it very little.
I also see a lot of libs thinking the right only watches news outlets like Fox. Certainly not true of me (center right) or quite a few friends (farther right than me).
Well I do know we had a carrier group in the area, and it was pulled out and sent to the Caribbean and not replaced. I do not remember us not having a carrier group in the ME in decades. My circle discussed what a huge mistake it was, and we were proved right. Had it been on scene during the protests…Now the protesters are dead.
You have to be a true moron to not believe regime change is/was the ultimate goal
Your last sentence pointing out that a lot of Trump supporters watch OAN or Newsmax instead undercuts your argument in your first sentence.
Keep bombing those mother *******. They have killed and killed and killed ever since they attack our embassy in 1979. Time to end that bat crazy ****. They have to go.
I'm shocked, shocked I say, to see you arguing dishonestly.
Don't type things I didn't say and then make a stupid point about it like you accomplished something.
It was pulled from the Middle East and sent to the Caribbean. I already said that. We did not have a carrier group within striking distance for something like a month. That was when the protests happened. It was a complete screw up. Hey, those ski boats were a huge existential threat I guess, more so than a potential nuclear Iran.
Iran attacking Dubai is not going to win them any sympathy from Saudia Arabia, Jordan, Syria and large swaths of Iraq. They are doing a great job of pissing off their neighbors.
I did qualify that statement with "people who tend to swing 'too far to the blind side'", so I wasn't including everyone who watches Fox.
It seems we define "mainstream" differently (number of viewers vs number of options) which is OK as long as we understand how we are defining the term when we are discussing the situation.
