    Yeah... no. I mean, Iran might outlast our appetite for killing, but if they actually threatened the lifeblood of the Gulf States and the pillars of the American Empire, that would just fuel our drive to make them stop.

    If the Taliban can outlast us, you don't think Iran can outlast us? Didn't we learn anything from Vietnam? People will fight forever if they have no where to go.

    Persia would outlast this period with its 100k years of history but the question is if the IRGC can outlast in its competitive stage.

    I said they can outlast us. That dude is saying they're going to beat us. That's dumb.

    LOL, yeah right. Nobody in the Trump family serves in the military. No boots on the ground from the Trumps. But, they will gladly let you give them their purple heart medals. I have to laugh at the thought of Baron serving in the military. Mommy's boy was coddled his whole life.

    The first of many needed supplementals. If you vote against it, you are un-American, giving comfort to the enemy, and putting our soldiers at risk.

    This is from the 1950s:

    A few thoughts.

    1) The "Peace President" sure is doing a lot of war recently.

    2) The US deposing two foreign governments/leaders in as many months without a single bit of input from Congress is certainly something.

    3) We bombed Iran because Iran promised to strike at the US in retaliation if Israel ever bombed Iran (which Israel told us it was going to do), do I have that right? Can someone explain to my why I should be OK with:

    a. more 'pre-emptive strike' doctrine
    b. another power vacuum in the Middle East
    c. Israel quasi-dictating American foreign policy? ​

    Well, it turns out a good chunk of our fertilizer comes from the ME. Oh, and it is planting season.

    I guarantee you nobody in the White House or DOD political leadership even considered this.

    Now, about that promise to lower grocery prices...
