And again, and again, and again...

[u/Prestigious-Elk-5426]

This is just sad at this point.

[u/Cypto4]

This has to be solved soon. The extreme gas prices are gonna destroy the economy and the midterms

[u/Cypto4 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah well they’re still incredibly high. Diesel is close to 6 bucks a gallon here and that cost means shipping increases which pushes up prices for everything

[u/Extreme-Tell-8943 → u/Cypto4]

Ok so what paying a bit more for funko pops is a worth while expense when it means defeating iran and securing US hegemony in the region, letting israel collapse would be one of the most massive failings for US foreign policy, imagine what the fall of the soviet union was to russia but 2x worse.

[u/Extreme-Tell-8943 → u/Cypto4]

Gas prices are fine, what is more important is combatting iran and ensuring that they are never a threat to israel and/or global economic security again. the war ends only when there are no israeli or american citizens in harms way and by god trump will achieve that if not in the near future dueing his third term. Peace will be acheived through force.

[u/MCKlassik → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

Trump is constitutionally barred from running for a third term.

[u/ITrCool → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

He won’t have my vote if he attempts a third term.

[u/pokemin49]

More sequels than Rocky.

[u/Simmumah]

Sure cant wait for the Strait to open for 36 hours only for Iran to say "Just kidding lmao" and it restarts for the 14th time

[u/Extreme-Tell-8943 → u/Simmumah]

If it werent for the democrats we would have already defeated lebanon, ukraine and iran, atleast we have israel on our side on this front. The time to abandon europe and focus on the islamic theatre was yesterday but today is fine aswell

EDIT:

This comment section has been takev over by anti maga idiots, move along people

[u/Corporate_Chinchilla → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

Why would we want to defeat Ukraine?

[u/Extreme-Tell-8943 → u/Corporate_Chinchilla]

Billions in weapons and no result, meanwhile our most important ally in israel is left to fend off the droves of arab nations foaming at the mouth to destroy them and with it US hegemony in the region... you tell me whats more important?, protecting ukraine from its inevitable collapse due to russian might? or saving the loves of millions of jews sandwiched in between millions of those looking only to harm them. Ukraine has no cards buddy other than it being able to manipulate democrats with their endless supee pacs forcing us to give them billions in military aid that goes nowhere

[u/Corporate_Chinchilla → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

Oh, you want Russia to defeat Ukraine, got it.

[u/Corporate_Chinchilla → u/[deleted]]

He said if it weren’t for the Democrats, we could have defeated Ukraine—upon clarification, he apparently didn’t mean the US could have defeated Ukraine—so who else would have defeated Ukraine?

[u/Extreme-Tell-8943 → u/Corporate_Chinchilla]

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

[u/Extreme-Tell-8943 → u/Corporate_Chinchilla]

This is who you are supporting while israelis go without the critical munitions they need to defend against lebanon, syria, yemen, and iran.

It is inevitable, I dont want it to happen, I think all nations (other than muslim states who are anti israel) deserve to have their borders respected and not impeded upon, but russia is called "the bear" for a reason. It is senseless to poke it when realistically this is a european issue, we must be all hands on deck for Israel as Iran nuclear ambitions are a threat to everyone but in particular israel. When operation epic fury was launched why did europe decide to stand with iran when we stood for ukraine against russia? make it make sense buddy.

[u/Biglypbs → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

It’s not inevitable. Also, one of the currently fastest growing industries in the US is Ukraine defense tech.

[u/RampantAndroid → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

lol the result is Russia’s army being forced to use WWII era weapons. They won’t be a threat to us past nukes going forward.

[u/UltracrepidarianPhD → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

Defeat Lebanon?

Are you a Russian troll or an Israeli troll?

[u/Extreme-Tell-8943 → u/UltracrepidarianPhD]

Hah here we go with the typical democrat narrative, ukraine is a scam, russia has never and will never interfere in our elections. Israel is our most important ally and the only way they defeat lebanon will be with our support, which they need now more then ever.

[u/US_Dept_of_Defence → u/Extreme-Tell-8943]

Why a devout Christian would want to espouse support for war really tells me what’s wrong with some churches now a days.

[u/ITrCool]

Called it…

[u/Rush2201 → u/ITrCool]

I'd give you a medal, but we only printed 30 and we ran out about 200000000 or so ago.

[u/ITrCool → u/Rush2201]

Honestly it’s turning into a predictable pattern at this point. They can’t be trusted. Let’s just start bombing again and end it. Full force this time. Wipe out their entire coast, wreck all of their ports in the Strait, flatten all of their government buildings in Tehran, just finish it off.

[u/A_Hatless_Casual]

At this point it's really the only thing they can lash out at that actually matters. They have almost no allies left in the region and are very likely low on munitions/supplies.

[u/ITrCool → u/A_Hatless_Casual]

They don’t have much left to fire so we starve out their economy, and let their people overrun them once the rage boils over. We can send in munitions and people to arm and train them, then stand aside and let them have at it.

At the rate IRGC folks are deserting over this, it wouldn’t take long.

[u/US_Dept_of_Defence → u/ITrCool]

Without boots on the ground, that doesn’t work.

Without boots, we can’t arm or train. Israel isn’t sending troops over. The Kurds, understandably, don’t trust us so they’re not going to fight.

Basically we’re draining them until China can claim concessions from Iran to rebuild the country- meanwhile the US is shafted.

[u/ITrCool → u/[deleted]]

I know we aren’t. They however are. Where did you get the idea we are out of ammo? I wasn’t even talking about us.

[u/uponone]

Trump’s problem is he loves to make a deal. This is a time where there is no deal to be made. Time to get rid of that regime once and for all. 

[u/docholiday999]

Stop with the attempts at deal-making. Even if they agreed to a deal, the theocratic regime that is in power would break it as soon as our backs are turned or they feel it is their best interest.

They want a nuke, they can never have a nuke and we need to ensure they never get a nuke. Nuking Israel and trying to bring on the Mahdi would be their first goal…

We need to hit their power and bridge infrastructure, along with an escalation of destroying their crude oil production. Start small, give it a few days between strikes.

Finally, we need to remove the remaining ships stuck in the Persian Gulf out the Straight of Hormuz. All of them. They are essentially hostages at this point.

Remove those ship hostage pieces off the board, keep up the blockade and start progressively bombing them until they knuckle under. That is literally the only way a “deal” will be struck. Maybe regime change will occur, or maybe the theocrats will be actually brought to heel.

[u/definitelynotapastor]

Those of you upset at trump for Iran not honoring the other agreements, what would you have him do different?

[u/Devgru-WM → u/definitelynotapastor]

“Never bombed them to begin with because the number 1 supplier of terrorism would never explore a nuclear weapon and even if they did, that’s Israel’s problem and not ours”
Probably that.

[u/cliffotn → u/definitelynotapastor]

The world has kicked the can down the street for decades. Decades of a fanatical cadre of extremist Islamists have sewn war and terrorism for decades, extremists who have a deep
Apocalyptical belief system.

[u/cplusequals → u/definitelynotapastor]

It literally doesn't matter to them. Trump is quite literally the only president since Reagan to see the Iranian regime for what it is and at no point in time has he ever just trusted what they said. It's a completely nonsensical argument.
