Instead of renaming it the Department of War, they should have named it the Department of Fear. Or the Department of Fighting other people’s proxies

Bad MOFOs often have proxies and client states.
See Vichy France, the Tizo regime in Czechoslovakia, and the Stasi in Yugoslavia during WWII.
Sometimes ya gotta fight more than just the bad guys themselves.
IMHO if Iran gets a nuke it would not be very likely they ever use it or ever allow a proxy to have one. Should a nuke go off in the region they would be the first to be blamed and the first to be obliterated, systematically with standard weapons or in a nuclear instant. Nuclear Deterrence & Mutually Assured Destruction are real things and go both ways.

How about the “Department of If”?

Can’t believe we’re back here again. Groundhog Day. Quagmire. Foolishness.
It’s fun to read the comments from the hawks earlier in this thread.

Well one would think so.
But for the same reasons we weren’t happy with North Korea and Pakistan getting a nuke.
We won’t be happy with Iran getting one.
We’ll do all we can to stop it.
Multiple admins have agreed on that point.
We’d rather not HAVE to rely on MAD, and as an enemy regime we could very well be at war at in the future, we don’t want a nuke to have to deal with in the event of such a contingency.
As long as they not talking about getting an erection over it, yeah it’s entertaining.
To be specific, the content of both the hawks and cult members are funny.

As well as the content from the posse, it’s all good. I like reading it all. Where’s 3rdWardCoog3? I liked reading his rebuttals; that dude was all in. Even agreed with many of his early postings about the war. I’ve often wondered: how can one consume “disproportionate amounts of staff time”? What’s his handle now, 3rdWardCoog4?

He is on the permanently suspend list. All sequential numbers of him.
I think he gave up after going for it on 4th down.

We have lost several voices on here
Lol. Our president referred to Iran as terrorist “scum” and has threatened numerous times to wipe them off the face of the Earth. How is that any different? Seriously, how many times has Frump threatened Iran? He’s threatened them so many times, there was a condition put in the MOU by Iran to discontinue making threats.
Perhaps we wouldn’t be in this position if Frump didn’t remove all international oversight and strict constraints by terminating the JCPOA. Recent escalating military conflicts have only made things worse.

You’re old, you’ll be dead by the time Iran delivers a nuke to the US

You don’t think that regimes like that deserve to be destroyed?
After holding lots of Americans hostage, having their proxies kill many innocent Americans, bashing women, bashing gays, bashing anyone that dares oppose them or that won’t endorse a violently religiously fanatical hardline, and doing all sorts of unspeakably evil things?
If not, then there may be something not quite right about you.
So based on that, yes, that regime is scum, and should be destroyed.
We threaten Iran because they present a constant threat to innocent people including innocent Americans, US allies, US interests, and the common good.
It is what it is.

No, it simply happens that, while I often disagree with Trumpp, it is completely FAIR to call the current regime in Iran SCUM.
What would YOU call them? Nothing negative? I sure as Hell wouldn’t. I’ll call them scum, OR WORSE!!!
Those guys are Fascists with a perverted religiously extreme face.
Just ask gays, Bahais, Jews, or most women in that country.
The very lowest of the low.
I don’t like that they are in power…and I sure as Hell don’t want such scum to have a nuke.
Can’t understand why anyone would be OK with that.
Whether you think the best way to keep them from getting one involves a different approach than the current one is debatable.
That they are scum and shouldn’t have one really isn’t though.
Incidentally, isn’t @nwcougar the guy that claimed that THIS country was a “free” country?
Given that, I’m hardly surprised that he doesn’t “get it.”
I have no need to call them anything to justify this war. That’s your problem.
I just see you cheerleading something that has no real plan for victory.
I would have posted a quagmire gif, but it only brings up the Family Guy dude, and I don’t like that show.

It’s not about justifying any war.
It’s simply about calling this regime what it is.
And it’s scum or worse by just about anybody’s measure.
Or at least, I would hope so.
Able to recognize a Fascist Scum regime huh?

Certainly.
Iran’s regime is definitely that.
