Well, that’s okay, I suppose. I’m sure I have a number of deeply held assumptions that I couldn’t back up either. We can leave it there.
Best direct answer to a direct question I can provide is this:...
I’m not there yet. I can’t tell if Iran’s attack was so ineffective because it was incompetent or deliberately designed to not cause much damage....
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.

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...
Gosh, okay. You assert our military is “ludicrously bloated” but then again you want it to do as little as possible. That’s weird. You want Israel...
Must push back against that as well. We can’t just define the “best case” as “not the worst case.” There is a whole range of possibilities between...
So many contradictions in this post.
To be specific, the put down was on Jake Sullivan. I guess one could derive a presidential put down from the fact that Jake Sullivan’s dumb ass...
Good question. In my opinion, the best case is that whatever we do next makes Iran stop immediately, and the war goes back to being contained...
Speaking for self, I place very little if any direct blame on the Biden Administration for these attacks or the 10/7 attacks that set the current...
How much do you want to go off topic? There are already threads on those, and this has been discussed ad naseum. The point is, dumb advice from...
There are, but they can only advise the President. He spurned their advice for Afghanistan and Ukraine in favor of that no-talent ass clown Jake...
