    It appears the 20% that do have the big sticks.
    I guess all we can do is pray American and innocent civilian casualties are minimal and watch the news to see how it plays out.

    There are a few who love seeing Trump bomb the hell out of Muslims, yet also support the Muslim leaders tight with the Trump family who gift them billions in tit for tat favors.

    Then you have that other 20% who cheer on all the civilians Trump blows up or supports blowing up, legally or illegally.

    Not really, the folks elected to represent the 80% also support this. It’s convenient what happens when you get donations to your campaigns and threatened/blackmailed with opposing legislation.

    This sure as hell isn't going to make Americans safer than not starting a war against Iran. Not only that, but Trump is abusing his power. This is an act of war without authorization from Congress, initiated by a madman hellbent on doing whatever he wants.

    Regardless of what Trump is doing.
    It's being done and I am powerless to stop any of this.
    Which it why I stated all I can do is pray casualties are minimal.
    And my fellow armed forces members come home alive.

    I don't know if any on here realize whichever side of this we are on. Coming here and complaining about it ends outside this forum.
    No one but is sees these posts.
    So complaining about any and all actions is great within this micro community. But my wife has no idea what is being discussed within this forum, and neither does anyone else who does not post here

    It's like b****ing about Nick Caley.
    Demeco Ryans is not reading that thread.
    So all can complain till they turn blue it changes nothing.
    So I will remain supporting my and your fellow service men and women and pray for a safe return home SOON.

    I do not support the action taken by our government, but since this is where we are American troops do your best at what you were trained to do and come home safe and soon.

    I served in Dessert Storm.
    Didn't like it especially years later.
    But I signed the papers and took the oath.
    War is messy shite.

    Omani foreign minister who brokered U.S.-Iran talks "dismayed," says strikes will not serve U.S.

    The Foreign Minister of Oman, who was brokering the indirect negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program up until late last week, chided the U.S. on Saturday for going on the attack amid the diplomacy.

    "I am dismayed," Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said in a social media post. "Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war."

    You are right. War is a messy state, and I don't support unprovoked wars, putting our troops and Americans at risk. We now have a President unhinged, defying Congress, and acting on impulse, which is not something I support either.

    How interesting. Looking back at Trump tweets...

    November 14, 2011

    “@BarackObama will attack Iran in the not too distant future because it will help him win the election.“

    November 16, 2011

    “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected — and as sure as you're sitting there — is to start a war with Iran."


    April 4, 2012

    “Remember what I said about @BarackObama attacking Iran before the election—I hope the Iranians are not so stupid to let it happen—now is the time for them to negotiate—'never overplay your hand.'“

    July 3, 2012

    "Just as I predicted, @BarackObama is preparing a possible attack on Iran right before November."

    Aug. 16, 2012.

    “@Israel could very well be close to attacking Iran. Could be this election’s big October surprise...”

    Oct. 9, 2012

    “Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.”

    October 22, 2012

    “Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected—be careful Republicans!“

    I am starting to think these peace talks are not that useful.
