Quote:The cruelest of ironies is that what could finally undo and destroy the Presidency of Donald J Trump isn’t biased Democrat Lawfare, or paid boomer protests, or District Court judges nullifying his Executive Orders, or Rino Republicans refusing to pass his (bloated) Big Beautiful Bill, a “stolen election” or even an Assassin’s bullet. What could finish off the 47th President’s agenda for good will be if he goes against his gut and drags America into another Middle East quagmire of blood, and wastes more trillions of American treasure like his predecessors. War with Iran would be Trump’s Afghanistan, his Vietnam, and ultimately his political Waterloo. Iran is a Theocratic dictatorship that sponsors terror but has invaded not even one country. They are not Iraq, which until relatively recently, was not a unified country but a group of rival tribes before it became a British colonial construct. Besides Iran being “the crossroads of civilization,” they are much more homogenous, roughly 2/3rds Persian ethnicity and didn’t bend a knee of break when attacked by Iraq during their 10 year bloody war. They fought tooth and nail for their very survival. And their 90 million people will fight for their survival again. It was Britain, and (funded by) the United States that overthrew a democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mossedegh in 1953 by using hired mobs in a coup that lead to the installation of the Shah Pahlavi’s 27 year reign of authoritarianism and human rights abuses. All in the name of Iranian Oil. So here we are again. If American foreign policy is anything, it is immune from learning or even acknowledging recent history from either political party, leaving millions dead in it’s willful ignorance and arrogance. I am praying that our President doesn’t start another war. President Trump could still be our Abraham Lincoln but if he ignores history and our recent military misadventures, he could also end up being another George W. Bush, or God help us, a Republican version of Barack Obama. Yours truly, Rob Schneider

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: It seems despite your (unwarranted IMHO) prejudice against Iranians, it looks like you don't want to get into *another* war?
Quote:Hey, we agree on something! This "nuclear bomb" bullshit is just another "WMD" excuse for Israel to attack. And -just like that other weasel Zelensky- Netanyahu plans on dragging us into his war bc he knew (when he started) that he could never finish this on his own.
Quote:Why does Trump listen to assholes like Netanyahu and Graham and Miller and Kellogg ... who don't have his or America's interests at heart ... instead of people like Carlson and Vance and Witkoff and Gabbard, who do?
Quote:You'd think he'd be a better judge of people. Even if he doesn't know his ass from his elbow, he should listen to people who do. If he wants to save his MAGA agenda, that is.
