this is just like Iraq does not equal we are fighting Israel’s war (unless this is an unintentional admission on your part that you think our involvement in Iraq fit this bill)
_____

We don’t need this idiotic line that Bibi has been saying for at least 20 years does not equal we are fighting Israel’s war
_____

the 22 seconds away from having a nuke bullshite has been untrue for 20+ years does not equal we are fighting Israel’s war

You are conflating tangentially related statements that do not say what you claim. Yes, they do “have a shred of bearing on the current conflict in 2026” but they, in no way, assert that we are fighting Israel’s war. To the contrary, I explicitly pointed out in my previous post the primary reason that I think we are fighting this war and it has nothing to do with Israel.

And, lastly, this is a lie:

I don't know or care about Matt Walsh…

You actually seem pretty hung up on him and what he said. You can’t resist rehashing some dumb X post by him that was shared 10 days and 166 pages ago. A post where Walsh didn’t even forcefully argue against the war and only called himself a skeptic. Get a fricking grip.

So basically the Iranian regime needs to be completely denied access to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman due to the aquatic drones. Including all Iranian coastline, that’s a bit over 1500 miles to patrol. For comparison, this would be like having to deny water access from Pensacola, FL to Naples, FL. And that’s just to protect against submersibles and fast boats. It does nothing to protect against aerial attacks on shipping or our Naval vessels.

It’s really hard to believe that they don’t have some plan to counter this that isn’t boots on the ground. However, it’s also rather difficult to believe that this would be allowed to happen if they did have a reliable countermeasure.

Was listening to a Darryl Cooper podcast and he mentioned the 3 THAAD systems being blown up and I think he said we only have one left. Apparently that is making the missile defense much spottier and we’re having to use 2x as many missiles as we’re supposed to to shoot down every one incoming from Iran. Darryl worked on the AEGIS systems on ships and he was not positive at all on our current situation, especially our ability to defend allied Middle Eastern countries not named Israel.

Ayatollah Limpdick. This is the guy that goes to London to get treated for impotence, isn’t it?

What's the "something else"? If Walsh is no longer a political commentator for not being 100% sold on military intervention in a foreign country, what are you accusing him of being?

This is a question that still deserves an answer.

Anyone expecting world leaders to give them accurate and up-to-date information about matters of war, national security, and geopolitics, has unrealistic expectations. Nobody does that; it's not the policy, ever, anywhere.

---

Nowhere did I say this was my expectation. I just said that the 22 seconds away from having a nuke bullshite has been untrue for 20+ years and almost certainly wasn’t the reason for this attack. I don’t really think we have to rely on bullshite tactics to sell this to the American people at this point. Iran pretty much stands in opposition to every liberal, democratic value held by Americans and has been at the center of conflict in the ME for decades.

The fact the men in Iran wanted them all to be covered up is reason enough to bomb them

They just couldn’t get any work done. Too many distractions so they threw a hideous sheet over them.

I think once it shakes out and gets back to normal they could still sell oil to Chyna. But can use it as leverage to keep them in line

---

While this is true, if things go as we hope, Iran should start selling oil on the open market. That means they will not sell directly to China at a 10-15% discount, as they were doing due to sanctions. And, if things go right and the right people come to power, they should be agnostic or hostile to China due to China economically supporting the repressive former regime. As much as I want this to be about America being that shining city on a hill and doing the right thing, I think this is as much about Dollar dominance and hemming in China as it is Iran itself.

ETA: for the U.S. 100% different motive for Israel, though they also benefit from U.S. motives.

Those worthless turds should all be given unique, traceable copies of the SOTU to see which of them leaks it first.

Yeah, the world needs fewer colleges that appeal to conservative trades students, have better male/female ratios and get kids thru their first two years at 1/3 (or less) of the cost of starting at a 4-year school.

Sorry the team you supposedly love isn’t losing.
