    We didn't declare war on Vietnam. We haven't officially declared war on anyone since WW2

    Which is exactly reason you don’t want Iran to have nukes.

    I think your hatred for Trump is blurring your vision of reality

    So can we say now that Oct 6th was a bad idea ? Hamas hezbollah and now Iran themselves. Basically gone. Money gone. Sources to make money in future gone. Iranian missle and weapon stockpiles severely depleted and/or gone and no way to replenish. Unless the Chinese themselves fund Hamas and hezbollah directly their supply chain is also gone. There is now a chance at actual peace in the Middle East

    Whats funny is my position seems the obvious one. I dont like Trump either.

    If your Trump hate blocks good reasoning, its time to reexamine.

    1.) You don’t know that they didn’t have the weapons system.
    2.) Your 60% remark is literally opposite everything I’ve heard as far as the amount of effort to go from 60% to 90%. Iran has also had 85%+ uranium in the past too in what they deemed “accidental.” No matter how you take that, an actual accident or lying through their teeth, it’s not good.

    Personally I also despise Trump, but given what I know and where we are I think he made the correct decision. Whether it turns out to be the right long term only time will tell.

    I haven’t and would never vote for Trump, but I’m supportive of this action. I don’t know if it was the right time, but I saw this as inevitable. We don’t need to do more than eliminating their nuclear sites and now should be able to let Israel. Do I expect a reprisal from Iran? Absolutely, their honor will demand it just like when they fired 200+ ballistic missiles at Israel a while back but didn’t aim at anything particularly noteworthy. Whatever their response we’ll handle that in stride.

    I hate Trump; but stopping Iran from the ability to acquire nuclear weapons is the right thing to do.

    Yep. I remember in 1993, when I was a sophomore in high school and the Democrats held both Houses of Congress, calling for Clinton’s impeachment. This is equally significant.

    I think we both know they the entire region is happy about this. Not saying it’s going to happen but you have a significantly better chance than 2 years ago
