Is your objection only when the Dems do it?


Not exactly. I just don’t get the ‘strategic’ part of having an OPEN DISCUSSION about going to war? And of course there is the stupidity of what is exactly ‘war’? I think sending a plethora of bombs into another country should always be considered ‘war’. But apparently there are plenty of euphemisms that are used.

I think my overriding emotion is being upset at the inevitable loss of young American lives.

Maybe the Iranians, or indeed any other nation, will pursue a policy of attempting regime change in the US. After all, trump has pretty much decided that regime change anywhere is a legitimate objective justifying any action.


Not only regime change: how about targeting and assassinating the leader of a nation?

We just did it: did we open up Pandora's Box?

Memo to the fat oaf: I'd hate to be you with a big fat target on your keister.

The vast majority of Iranians are for regime change. They hate their repressive, murderous government. I do not know enough to be sure this is a ‘good’ attack. I do know I am not confident in the fact that Trump is making the decision.

I understand that the Dims in Congress want to exercise their power in doing whatever is opposite to what Trump wants, regardless of the merits. (Except Fetterman, of course!). I don’t quite get the concept of having our Congress propose a bill to authorize these attacks. Then debate them. Then attach some health care bill to it. So that the enemy can be alerted to our attack?

I hate when we are at war. Some 19 year old kid is going to die over there.


You realize the USC requires Congress to declare war? So that should be reason enough even if we have a President that routinely disregards the USC. This is not an attack we received out of nowhere. This is an attack we initiated on a foreign country for our own benefit. This could have been openly debated.

The majority of citizens wanting regime change is not justification for foreign involvement. The majority of U.S. citizens want regime change. Does that give China license to invade and replace our President with one of their choosing.

Apparently, yes: it's the MAGA way...

This is the problem. Unless there is a true regime change, the next Ayatollah will just be doing the same terrorism/repression as the previous one. We will now see how strong this present ‘regime’ is…. Will the people be able to overturn it to some ‘Democratic’ system? I don’t have high hopes.

The "regime change" Iran wanted is the current one. There is a reason in the 70s there was overwhelming support for the revolution. It was pretty clear Iran did not want a regime that was basically a Western puppet. I don't see any natural regime change that will be significantly better (and I see many that will be way worse.)

America's involvement in Iran going back to the 50s has always just needlessly complicated things. Ron Paul was one of the few politicians on either side who has been correct on this (or at least honest about this.)

The U.S. military says three U.S. service members have been killed and five seriously wounded in the Iran operation.

Looks like ANOTHER "MAGA war" needlessly initiated and based on a tissue of lies: funny how the fat oat and Netenyahu foment war to deflect from their legal woes and to cling to power.

We're getting "played" once again by a couple of con men.

Yeah, and what’s the grift angle on this one assuming it doesn’t go sour for Trumpo and his gangstas.
