I think me and Mrs Moston dodged some tension in the region. A lovely week holiday in Cyprus, our flight returned yesterday and today they have been evacuating the airport. Our hotel was just 40 miles from where there was a drone "attack". :o

I told her not to consider those cheap hotels in Beirut next Spring. :lol:

Did you lot know that Iran will be playing one of their games in Seattle during the World Cup?

The notion that Israel has any leverage over the U.S. (or Trump) is asinine given that they have depended so heavily on us for the weapons they need to fend off the murderous Islamists surrounding them.

And to SorB, maybe you didn't hear about the 30-50 THOUSAND protesters that were killed by the Iranian regime in a few weeks because you were so focused on the atrocity of two whacked out leftists that commited suicide by cop here in the States. Don't you care about them or are they no better than the 1500 Israelis that were butchered a couple years ago?

I applaud Trump for seizing this opportunity to strike a blow against evil in this world and help secure peace for future generations. To those who would like to have seen the Iatollah remain in power, GO TO HELL...
I don't think it's the United States job to be the world police.

Regime changes the US has attempted to enact haven't gone well. And they are made worse by an inept administration that has made it loud and clear they don't have a strategy for what to do next... admitting they accidently killed leaders they thought might be up for the task of leading Iran to Democracy.

And besides all that, it was the lot of Trump supporters who touted "no new wars" as their reason for supporting Trump. It's not up for me to grapple with the moral flip flop it's going to take to support this when that was one of Trump's main campaign promises.

And he had it coming.... if he really was a Marine at all.

He said his piece, then decided to stay and fight with the cops.

A serviceman is no more than a 'piece of equipment' for the government. They are there to do as they are told, not to think for themselves.

Whether this man was once or even still a marine...... all those General's in attendance showed the world how wrong he was.


And this isn't a war. It's a measured strike on a country that has been funding terror all over this world for the last 50ish years. I realize that PB&J will support Iran with this action, but then again, he will support anyone that want's to destroy Israel and all Jews (worldwide). The President of the United States CANNOT declare War, only congress can do that. But the President of the United States can attack any country they want.

They are the Commander and Chief of the military.....PERIOD.

And for the record, I loved the way the put the rogue 'marine" (if he was one) into cuffs after they broke his arm. Just think of the pain they caused.

Lol.

Yeah, we'll see if "it isn't a war" six months from now.

The best thing Trump could do at this point was say mission accomplished, and say what's left is a regional conflict.

Israel's on their own. They got themselves into it.

But he wont, Israel can see that the US is turning on them and they know this is their last chance to try and get Greater Israel before the boomers are gone and nobody supports them anymore.

Yes, after watching their complete destruction of Gaza, I do love seeing Iran send them screeching into their bomb shelters just as much as you enjoyed the Marines arm snapping (psycho). And Netanyahu's bitchass flew away.
