    1. Anouk129 I understand the point you’re trying to make. It’s just an incredibly stupid point that you’re only using because you can’t think of actual arguments.

    2. @Rberg1105 …omg, why don’t you just get lost ? No need to further TRY to have a debate with you. But that is really no surprise, at all !! Have a nice life

    3. @Rberg1105 Republicans will say everyone is a treat just to keep that gravy train rolling for the military industrial complex

    1. remember the invasion of kuwait and the 700 oil wells lit on fire blacking out the sun? those were the days. 🙂

    2. and Hillary was all about it when it came to invading Iraq. its seems almost like she is president with the way its going. i guess it goes to show that we are all just throwing pebbles in a river of time and cant change the flow.

    1. @Dave Schultz Hahha Former President Candidate… my behind.. How about Arrogant Loud mouth is more like it

    2. @brenda mcdonall *”…..the US cannot be trusted.”*

      Not as long as we have a psychopathic lying malignant vindictive self-serving narcissist for a so-called president.

  1. Immediate self protective measures should be routine, but medium long term, we need objectives, please?

    1. @Dave Schultz Bits, pieces and chunks, we don’t have a clear objective except whack a mole? This what happened, ever since the Korean War Congress abdicated war declaration authority since Korea.

    2. @Mike Marder , The Sunnis in Iraq are DEATHLY afraid of Iranian Shiites. The Iraq Kurds and Sunnis will not far well with out us unfortunately. Saddam was a Sunni and protected them.

    1. Unfortunately you are probably one among many at the moment. I send you good thoughts and hope you get through this safely.

  2. So what is Trump going to do when NATO tells Trump: you are on your own. Or, go get help from Russia or your beloved friend Kim!

    1. @M Doc he should but he doesn’t meet with intell because he thinks he knows everything. When a man thinks he knows everything he can not learn anything

  3. DELAYING THE ARREST OF INEPT INCOMPETENT FAKE PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL CAUSE MORE PROBLEM TO THE UNITED STATE BUT TO THE WHOLE WORLD !

  4. Trump sends more troops to the Middle East during an election year and amidst his impeachment. Interesting.

    1. Beverley Vinson, I hate to say it but look at recent American history. A war would benefit Trump, the American media love a war, its why they lie so much to get people onside.

    2. He literally tweeted about this during Obama’s reelection saying that Obama would do the very thing that he is doing now (which Obama didn’t do). “Obama will start a war with Iran now that his poll numbers are sagging, just watch.” – Trump 2011

    1. Average x
      Thoughts & prayers ugh 🙄 This can mean the end of all of us ffs!
      Time good americans finally make the sacrifice, flood the streets, & STAY THERE until they FORCE the @GOP to put country 1st!
      Pressure works!
      Time to stop daily routine & waiting for someone else to fix this horror!
      Please! While there’s something left to save! ENOUGH!

    1. I don’t think so. Not when we have a lunatic in the WH with codes to the nations nukes & has a “shoot first & tell Congress later” agenda.

    2. na its more like vietnam + gulf war + afghanistan at the same time haha
      you guys traded al qaida for isis and isis for iran

      the best part you guys made iran into the thing it is know

      america did it again, they make it own enemys like al qaida

    3. I.M. Peach
      This can make them look like childs play ffs!!! Time good americans finally make the sacrifice, flood the streets, & STAY THERE until they FORCE the @GOP to put country 1st!
      Pressure works!
      Time to stop daily routine & waiting for someone else to fix this horror!
      Please! While there’s something left to save! ENOUGH!

    1. Ral Deform
      WORSE! This will be the END OF US ffs!

    1. ​@Nobody Cares Oh, come now. Let’s imagine your spouse insists that you stop smoking (or for that matter, any other bad habit your spouse thinks you have that will endanger you and everyone around you). Your spouse says, “Separate beds until you stop,” and enlists all his/her relatives to encourage you to stop. You make a deal with him/her to stop smoking. You throw all the cigarettes in the house in the garbage. Balance returns to the household. Then, for completely other reasons, your spouse divorces you and puts a tremendous financial pinch on your lifestyle, what with the alimony, child support and the need to find another residence. This creates a lot of stress and removes the check on your smoking. You think you wouldn’t start smoking again? It is possible that someone stops doing something and then starts doing it again when the situation changes. Pres. Trump, for reasons completely unrelated to Iran (he irrationally hates anything to do with his antithesis, Obama), changed the situation, which unsurprisingly precipitated a change of policy on the Iranian side.

  5. This seems like it was done to distract from the Impeachment trial by trump.well now we are heading to war.happy new year America.

    1. Shortly after trump came into office I was having a conversation with an immigrant garage owner. He was a trump supporter. Not wanting to argue with him, I only said “I’m afraid he is going to get us into a war ” . Looks like I was right.

  6. This is war propaganda for those of you to young to remember the build up to the Iraq war, Afghanistan war etc. Don’t fall for it.

    1. You have a lot older people who is also eating this up and agreeing with what this current administration is doing. Honestly it doesn’t matter who is in office democrats or Republicans they all have the same agenda and that’s continuation of war.

    2. @Laughing Gas it goes further back then 2003. Let’s not forget Vietnam and the other wars after that. Let’s think about all the money that was spent on all these wars, what great things it could have really done if we used it for positive things. The advancement of quality life for everyone.

  7. Since Donnie Jr is such an expert marksman,send him over as part of a platoon on the frontlines…..

    1. Well since you’re such a smart mouth maybe we should send you to talk to them. You know so much more than everybody else you should be able to speak freely and change the world. Not

  8. Terrorist attacks on civilians in the Western world:
    Shia: none.
    Sunni: each and every terrorist attack! Like; NY, Paris, London, Barcelona, etc etc etc… WTF! Time to let go of the Saudi oil umbilical. Really. Time. To. Let. Go!

    1. Skärgårds Doktorn We’re doing that already.. And Western liberals are doing everything in their power to stop the US from its recent technological breakthroughs on energy, which will bring us back to being dependent on foreign Russian and Middle eastern oil. Just like the 100% EU allies who hypocritically denounce THe US for our energy record self reliant supplying abilities, at same time they’re working shady deals with Putin and e terrorist/monarchs/communists/dictators on the planet for theirs

  9. Trump Logic: “Let’s distract everybody by having a war we start and say we did it to prevent a war! Right!?? Anyone!? ANYONE!?!”
    Pence: Ummm, yes Mr. President
