I find it totally baffling how ready idiotic Trump supporters are to get into a war with Iran. You're not someone who thinks about all of the consequences of the things you demand. No, we're not going to war with Iran and stop trying to make it happen.

They were probably bored, high on shrooms, and thought it was a UFO.

I don’t know where you get this “Progressive Marxist Socialist “ drivel from.

Trump’s own national security team is afraid of him. They don’t trust him,and they know that he does not have the discipline, the courage or the intelligence to act as commander in chief in a real crisis.

Nobody trusts him. Nobody.

Trump can bury us in a war before Congress (be they GOP or “progressive Marxist socialist”) can do anything about it.

Perhaps you should take the time to learn something about foreign policy, and try to think more than ten seconds forward, rather than looking at everything through an 11 minute long jingoistic hyper partisan mirror.
 
It also might be useful if somebody (if there is anyone left there) with some brains, got this idiot to make a consistent policy declaration and stick to it.

Trump has ordered more troops to the Persian Gulf, and then turned right around and suggested that the attacks on tankers in the Straits of Hormuz is “no big deal”.

Which is it?

But then, this is typical Trump in a crisis. He waffles, tries to take all sides of every argument (so he can say he won because column B was the way things turned out), and avoid responsibility (another Trump trait).

It has been the consistent policy of the United States to guarantee the free passage of Persian Gulf oil from all producers, and to act as a force for stability, if only to keep the oil flowing, since 1971, when the British turned that responsibility over to the US.

It is the reason we went to war to kick Sadaam out of Kuwait.

But Trump knows absolutely nothing about foreign policy, history or geopolitics (I doubt that he can find the Straits of Hormuz on a map).

So no one trusts Trump. He has upended almost every single major long term US committement and thoroughly betrayed the Atlantic Charter and betrayed the legacy of Churchill and Roosevelt.

The world is not counting on US leadership any more.

They know that our leader is a fool, and, consequently, they know they can’t trust the US to lead.

They also know that this crisis is something that Trump caused.

The president will react the way he usually does with a bunch of double talk contradicting himself in the same sentence. Don't blame the dems we didn't elect the dummy.

The way I figure it, somewhere in Iran today, a kid will be flying a kite, so shoot it down and call it even.

I am not a "progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA or Democrat" and I don't want to see us go to war over a stupid drone. A drone is an unmanned piece of machinery that can be replaced at the cost of a (relatively) few dollars.

I wouldn't exchange a single American life for one.

War is not a game, it is a deadly serious endeavor. War should be avoided unless it is absolutely necessary, and then it should be pursued with absolute commitment aimed at a swift and utter victory at the least cost to citizen's lives possible.

And turning up with your navy and then pushing and prodding Iran continually, with heavy sanctions because Iran happens to have lots of oil and is OPEC and doesn't like the US isn't?


And how do we know this was in international airspace? Oh, yeah, because the US, led by a serial LIAR, said so.

It never ceases to amaze me how willing politicians are to spend lives and money trying to change who is in control in various nations in and around the Middle East only to end up manufacturing more hatred and ultimately terrorism for some later generation to deal with.

There is uncertainty on who is harming boats in the region, there is uncertainty on who shot down this drone, etc.

Time and time again we cause our own problems, and now we have the Trump administration turning the guns towards Iran.

And you think "Will the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats allow President Trump to respond" is the issue?

Sure about that?

War's should be avoided unless there is absolutely no other alternative.

I doubt there are many who want to see such war on any side.
That's why the Iranians take advantage of that knowledge that war is not a possibility to do whatever they desire to.
 
Duplicate thread, duplicate answer:

Are you not concerned about the responses of Pink-O Commies, Regressive Leninists, and Pluralist Trotsky-ites?

:)


So are you advocating for what Trump promised to keep us out of over an unmanned drone? I also find the timing of these heightened tensions very interesting considering Trump's previous accusations:

Donald Trump tweet in 2011 said:
In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.

Donald Trump tweet in 2012 said:
Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected--be careful Republicans!

Donald Trump tweet in 2013 said:
I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!

Donald Trump tweet in 2013 said:
Remember what I previously said--Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.

Donald Trump tweet in 2013 said:
Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

I find the last one funny, because we're in this situation because Trump has not been able to negotiate.

The Obama/Clinton cabal would benefit greatly by Trump going to war and losing in 2020. It would shift the focus away from them and possibly keep their asses out of jail.
 
Never ever fails does it? The liberals will stand with Iran because they hateTrump so much.

No. It's not.

Happy to help :)




And how do we know this was in international airspace? Oh, yeah, because the US, led by a serial LIAR, said so.

I'm so old, I can remember all the way back when Democrats were certain that refusing to believe the Intelligence Community in order to back a dictatorial regime's account of events was bad. :)
 
I find it totally baffling how ready idiotic Trump supporters are to get into a war with Iran. You're not someone who thinks about all of the consequences of the things you demand. No, we're not going to war with Iran and stop trying to make it happen.

It's been John Bolton's wet dream since Bush years. And he admitted he would deceive to make it happen years ago.

Last week,you all were cheering the Pentagon for keeping Trump in the dark. This week, the Pentagon is lying?

No way. He showed Iran what-for I tell you! His hard stance with Iran is really paying off. Trump is an international diplomatic genius.

Trump says public will 'find out' about U.S. response to Iran downing American drone
Trump says public will '''find out''' about U.S. response to Iran downing American drone
"Iran made a very bad mistake," the president said. "The drone was international waters clearly." "I have a feeling that someone under the command of that country made a big mistake," he said. "I find it hard to believe it was intentional. It could have been someone who was loose and stupid who did it."

So you claim that no one trusts Trump or his decisions. Obviously you did not vote for him and believe that the foreign policy advisors in the administration are scared of him or unable to logically conduct good policy, unlike the foreign policies of the former president that drew lines in the sand and got the sand kicked in his face, time and time again.

Not being quick to accept the narrative presented by an administration with credibility issues and who is interested in regime change in Iran is not the same as "standing with Iran".
