Should US conduct military strikes over the Saudi oil attack?

[Bum]

Let the Saudis deal with it.

That's not the issue. Why when asked by reporters whether Trump agreed with Pompeo's language, did Trump balk?
And that also doesn't answer the question why Trump hired a showboating war-hawk like Bolton, but then claims he's all big on no conflict? Was he stupid to hire him when everyone knows Bolton was like that?
Why did he hire Flynn knowing he was under federal investigation, and despite all the warnings?

Stop defending Trump's stupidity, it's boring.

I didnt defend Trump. I didnt even mention him. Whats become boring is having to deal with the TDS infected who cant put together a sentence that doesnt have the word Trump in it.

Must get tiring for you to defend the vapid incoherent fool on a daily basis. I can tell. You aren't even trying, anymore.

I wasnt defending him. I was pointing out the moronic nature of your post. But no, what gets tiring is dealing with lame and stupid attacks on the man. Try and be a bit creative and humorous and I might even hit you with a 'like.' Post something false and stupid, and well, you see what happens.

No, we should not strike Iran. Not unless Iran strikes a US target which is an act of war, or violates any defense treaty we have legally established with a foreign State.

It's time for us to stop advocating knee-jerk reactions which inevitably embroil us in long-term conflicts like Vietnam and Afghanistan, where we "win" the battles, but "lose" the peace.

War should have very specific and achievable aims, and only engaged in when all other reasonable options for peace fail.

I'll say this over and over again, I do not believe that the USA should act as a world's policeman.

So IMO not one American life should be placed at risk unless it be for a just cause with an achievable goal that we can accomplish as quickly as possible and then return to a full state of peace. eace

Under Trump, the U.S.will always fight a proxy war for Saudi Arabia but oh no, not this one. It's one thing to overlook the murder of a US resident journalist by the Saudi's for money. It's another to turn our heads the other way when the US sells bombs and planes to the Saudi's to murder civilians in Yemen. But when it comes to striking Iran for what happened in Saudi Arabia, the US better not or it will start a world war.

Reminder of what we said in 2015. "He's a maniac and will start WW3 if he's elected". Well, he hasn't started WW3 ....yet and hopefully he'll obey Congress if it comes down to that because only Congress can declare war and since it was not the U.S. that was attacked they will never approve of going to war with Iran.

 

[plutonium]

Hell no!!!!

 

[plutonium]

YES.

If the United States is positive that country X is responsible, a retaliatory strike against country X is in order.

That's all. Just one effective reminder to country X: Don't be a naughty boy again.

Chances are that country X will get the message, despite all the bluster and threats that will come from country X after the strike.

Nations are like people: They get away with what they can.

You mean like North Korea???? lol by the way Saudi Arabia has jets and Drones too ... let the young Saudi prince get his hands dirty!!!

 

[trixare4kids]

False. And stupid.

It's almost like the haters want him to attack Iran...

Politics before country idiots are always a fun study.

'Strategic objectives" refer to military operation, at least in this discussion. The Holocaust was the antithesis to Hitler's strategic aims.

Elimination of inferior races was Hitler's strategic aim.

 

[Masterhawk]

Not that it would be good for Iran to keep doing what it is doing but the last thing the middle east needs is another war.

 

[apdst]

Elimination of inferior races was Hitler's strategic aim.

Which had nothing to do with his military strategy.

 

[Jredbaron96]

Which had nothing to do with his military strategy.

Strategic aims are accomplished in by military forces in war. Hence why the Wehrmacht helped murder millions of Soviets, Poles, Yugoslavs, and Jews.

Oh, yes. You are 100% right.

If United States intelligence is correct, Saudi Arabia should strike country X.

It would teach country X a good lesson, and scare and humble it. One has to be very strict with country X.

Voted NO

Voted NO only because there was no option for voting "Oh Hell No".
