U. S. Military is saying that 3 troops have been killed 5 others seriously wounded. Don't know where or how, but that is never a good thing. Hopefully there won't be any more, but that is probably not likely.

Imagine your country taking out a totalitarian regime that mass murders their own people and Democrats on an NC State sports message board are cheering for the totalitarian regime.

What a pathetic existence.

As per usual y'all hyperbolize and fixate on the 5% of the story you like and ignore, or are too lazy to try to understand, the rest. And then claim that anyone that brings up any reasonable objection actually supports the criminal/illegal/autocrat.

Small problem, we didn't take out a regime.

We removed a symbol of the regime, and a handful of others. And does that give Iranians everywhere hope of a lasting, consequential change? I'm sure it does, and that's change they deserve.

But if you think a few days of sterile bombing and only a small handful of tragic American soldier deaths will accomplish "regime change" you're ignoring history. That small a price is the very tip of the iceberg.

We will need way more involvement - measured in boots on the ground, resultant unavoidable soldier deaths, and exponential more spending - to approach true, lasting regime change.

What price are we actually willing to pay here?

This morning I was asked on Boston radio about the US–Israel strikes on Iran.

Here is the strategic reality most people are missing:

Airpower alone has never produced positive regime change.

I don’t mean rarely.

I mean NEVER.

your tweet - an air only strike has worked in Kosovo, but only after we had a UN security force in place. That's is what is going to need to happen in Iran. Hopefully Rubio has started putting that coalition together.

Dude. We aren't trying to remove Iranians that came here in 1979... just like we aren't trying to remove Chinese that came here in the early 1950's.

Can you please just dispense with the ridiculous hyperbole for once? Either that or you don't know anything about your world history.

---

im sorry, you think Iranians seeking asylum stopped in 1979? Same with Chinese? Sure. I had a young lady I hired, graduated from SMU, got a masters at Duke, Chinese. Couldn't get a green card in the lottery system, had to self deport back to China. Yeah, we need less of those folks.

I should. I'll share my plan with y'all here as well. Eliminate the southwest and gulf area from Iranian control and create a new nation for the Arab minority that lives there, leaving Iran as a landlocked rump state….then arm a bunch of Iranian expats and send them up the road to Teheran to defeat the Islamic Guard and create a new government, so that we have a limited boots on the ground presence, confined to the new Arab gulf state until they get their government up and running.

Why didn't Joe Biden make a plan to ensure Iran would not remain the largest sponsor of State terrorism?

He had four years…Trump has had two days.

---

Joe Biden didn't circumvent Congress to attack Iran talking about regime change but lacking any cogent communication regarding what we were doing or how that regime change was expected to come to pass.

Joe Biden also didn't appear to be taking orders from Bibi and the Sauds while fellating Putin and leaving Ukraine to waft in the wind.

To answer your question, you're basically saying "give it time, and trust this administration."

This Administration lacks the temperament, character, intellect, seriousness, or honesty to have earned Americans' trust.

---

….or Joe Biden didn't know which planet he was on and was a weak and feckless leader.

The rest of your post is typical TDS fueled poppycock.

On the bright side, you got 3 American KIA's to GET TRUMP today.

Good Lord I've got MTG and Matt ****ing Walsh making my arguments for me.

What is this world coming to?

If you’re a proponent of this war, so be it. Make your case. But lecturing skeptics for not “trusting Trump” is the dumbest argument you could possibly make. It is perfectly reasonable for American to be skeptical of regime change wars in the Middle East. Trump himself was…

50% of the US's silver ore imports actually come from Mexico. As the drug cartel war escalates in Mexico and decline in their human trafficking business down, what's the hope for these silver ore imports continuing unabated? A few days ago, about a dozen silver mining workers and a handful were executed. Something to keep an eye on.
