I wish I didn’t agree with that.
Any reason it couldn’t be both?
I’m a student at the Air War College, and we are on a regional security studies trip.
Of course. Again, I have only access to the same information as anyone else. My class is on a trip to East Asia at the moment, so I’m not getting...
I was not suggesting another Israeli attack. I was suggesting a (very limited) U.S. attack on Iran itself. The example I gave was taking out a...
See, I don’t think it’s much of a cognitive leap from what you’re arguing to next go, “Yeah, well, are the Baltics really NATO countries? We...
Never said I wanted that either. Is it one or the other? Or is there a wide spectrum of outcomes with an independent and intact Ukraine and...
I’m not sure anyone is really saying that. Speaking for self, I think the main principle (there are others, of course) at stake is not allowing...

So I’ll give you another game then. You assert that our military is “ludicrously bloated.” Be specific. What capabilities does it need less of?...
As I suggested earlier, Iran’s attack did not have much of an effect. I said, the most we should do was a limited strike against a single military...
So change the foreign policy so that Israel is not our ally. Otherwise, respond to deter future attacks.
No, it’s the get-back-on-topic tactic. I already reframed my critique, since you took such an issue with my wording. Your post was dumb. Our...
Good Lord, dude. Iran. Israel.
I already conceded you won the grammar rodeo. If I wanted to debate semantics without end, I would have gone to that thread instead of this one.
”Smoothing over” is not my intent. Deterring by punishment is my intent.
Very well. You have won the grammar rodeo. Characterizing our military as unnecessarily over strength while prescribing that it sits on its ass...
Iran launches drones, missiles at Israel in retaliatory attack after consulate strike in Syria So far it seems like the Iranian attack had very...
