I did not know that the US military works for Israel.


Cool


Judged how? Do you have an access to two different timelines, one without the attack and one with the attack to judge which will be better tomorrow, in a year, in a decade?
You will never be convinced of anything related to this decision. We struck the means of an evil regime who has repeatedly vowed our destruction. That was the action of a President keeping his word to protect the American people. What is your purpose and goal here?

Your arguments are not convincing, no. But never say never just because your defense of the event is weak.

Your defense is the same as was also during the US attack on Iraq and elsewhere. However, if we learned something, the US-led actions in the world are mostly proven wrong, disruptive or embarrassing (Afghanistan), after some time passes.

What is weak is the uninformed attacks on the decision of our president who is actually doing the job he was elected to do. Unlike some of the previous presidents who helped us get in this situation where this had to be done. Trump has been saying Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon since 2011 and has recently given Iran every opportunity to come to a peaceful conclusion but they refused. It is my opinion that currently it is the radical liberals and many in the Democratic Party who are equally a threat to the future of democracy in this country.

I doubt Americans elected Trump to provoke or join another war in the Middle East region and risk new terrorist attacks against Americans etc.

My guess is that Trump was elected mainly because of the immigration crisis, too much wokeness and bad economic situation. These are basically his only mandates.

There it is....the real enemies of the US are from within. Tell us how you really feel about your fellow Americans.

My guess is that Trump was elected mainly because of the immigration crisis, too much wokeness in the USA and bad economic situation. These are basically his only mandates.

Trump ran on a platform of "no more wars."

Now, not even 6 months into his term, he starts a war...and his supporters are suddenly okay with a new war in the MIddle East. In a matter of hours, the narrative has flipped to "it had to be done"

Just watch how those I described act and have been acting and my words will be vindicated. Do you forget all of the liberal claims of Trump being a threat to democracy? Oh yea and the personal attacks on those who support Trump.

It is quite sad. Also, his inability to make any deals. Virtually zero deals so far from the "deals man".

Just angry rants on his profile against all his opponents, media, Fed chairman, Biden...
Trump offered many deals to the Evil Iranian regime they refused. Here we are. A strong president took strong action. The war was already started and not by Trump.

Iran’s anti-West protests exploded again on Friday as thousands of demonstrators set US and Israeli flags ablaze in Tehran, chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”
The massive outpouring followed Friday prayers, with crowds lining Tehran’s streets, brandishing Hezbollah flags and portraits of slain commanders hit in recent Israeli missile strikes. One banner read, “I will sacrifice my life for my leader,” reflecting the fervor uniting the demonstrators behind Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

I hope this left no doubt as to Iran's intentions toward America.
At least they believe in something. Alongside their ally Russia, standing strong against the wests social decadence!

Iran had their 60 days, they did not choose wisely. Trump's poll numbers are up, and once again he took the right course.
Wars always drive up polls. It’s a great way for a failing president to distract at least some of their fans from their domestic disasters.

If Iran wants to hit those that are causing this (Israel, Netanyahu, and Trump) their response should include:

Sabre rattling against the US, Trump, Israel.
Closing the Gulf to oil exports (oil prices up more, bad for Trump polling)
Don't attack US troops in the region.
Attack Israel as they have since Israel started this war.
Demonstrate that strike wasn't as successful as Trump has already claimed.

Americans were not generally for joining this war, killing Americans would change that.

Right, it was started by Israel. Trump just follows his masters and does as he’s told. Never mind he ran specifically on a platform of no new wars and avoiding WWIII. Netenyahu had other plans.

Anyone else remember before the election when the claim from Trumps supporters was he would not start any more wars?

<Looks to see how many supporters are decrying his current actions>

Not accurate. No president could ever promise there would never be a need for military force. Trump did not promise that.

Jan. 20, 2025, Trump told Americans:"We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end - and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into."

The promise was no new wars. We are now in a new war we weren’t involved in last week, or ever before. That is a failed promise.
