Today, February 28, 2026, may be the most important day of the 21st Century so far. May God bless our fighting forces as they place themselves in harm's way to protect, defend, and save the Westand may we triumph over this remorseless, conscienceless, and evil enemy that has been at war with the "Great Satan" for nearly half a century.

---

Hokie, you've been hampering on this Presidents unconstitutional actions. Today, you say it's the most important day of the 21st century; yet, no statement on the constitutionality of this action? Did Trump get his power from Congress?

Civ? Thoughts?

---

no I haven't. I have one policy issue that isn't legal , tariffs.

I have zero issue with anything Trump has done with respect to Iran. I hope we succeed greatly.

---

How do you know that when he hasn't made a case to Congress or the American people for whatever we're doing now?

The constitutionality of this action aside, none of us have a ****ing clue what the plan or goal or exit strategy is, and most likely neither does he.

---

what am I supposed to know other than the Iranian people have taken to the streets to beg us for help. I see no reason why we wouldn't do that.

---

OK, so make the case to Congress and the American people for that.

He's telling us we're at war and to expect American casualties.

Especially if he's going to yet again try to circumvent Congress, the very least he can do is explain what the **** it is he's doing.

---

im not going to penalize Trump for not doing something that every President since Truman has ignored.

I don think there's a more cut and dry reason why we are doing this. It should be no surprise to anyone in Congress and only the looney tunes section of Congress doesn't understand that.

---

Nah I'm still salty about all of these "not wars".

We should be going to Congress before attacking another sovereign country that isn't a threat to us. If that's too high of a bar then we shouldn't go

---

that regime is responsible for thousands of American deaths. They are evil, they murder their own citizens. They are 100% a threat to America.

---

Then get congressional authorization. Im glad the ayatollah is dead but check and balances are important, even when the outcome is something you like

---

He doesn't have to have congressional authorization…the War Powers Act says he has to notify congress within 48 hours of committing forces to hostilities (which he did) and it limits engagements to 60 days unless congress approves an extension. I know you guys had no issue when Obama did the same exact thing.

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.

Airpower has never brought a positive regime change? I think Japan in 1945 would disagree with that one given we never had troops step foot on the main island

We're not nuking Iran.

And he's saying airpower alone hasn't done it.

The Allies occupied Japan for 7 years after the war and totally dismantled and rebuilt its government, so it definitely wasn't airpower only.

Reports Claim Iran's Interim Leader Arafi Killed in Airstrike

Social media posts and some Israeli news reports claim that Iran's interim Supreme Leader Alireza Arafi was killed in an airstrike just hours after taking charge. These reports have circulated widely but have not been confirmed by Iranian state media or major international news agencies.

We'll have to let this play out to confirm

they got to stop making official announcements about new leadership

Exactly.

Please tell us more about how much you hated Harris' laugh, and how dumb she, an attorney, is, while this total ****ing clown embarrasses himself and the rest of us literally every time he opens his trashy mouth.

Drapes. That's what he's talking about during the Medal of Honor ceremony. While American servicemen are dying in his war, Donny Drapes couldn't care less.

The leader of the free World, and the smallest, most heartless man in the World should be two different people. https://t.co/xjeWKyKmPa

I don't know why people can't grasp this. It's true for Republican and Democrat presidents alike. Notification, 60 days, congressional action one way or the other. But since it's Trump, it doesn't matter being that he's Hitler and all.
