Iranian supported terrorists are now expected to strike within The USA and Israel. This could escalate this confrontation!!
Now why would they do something so provocative? It's not like the US and Israel have attacked them or anything.

And you are too smart to not know that Americans on the right are questioning why their country is entangled in this. MTG, Massie, Tucker, Meghan, Candace are not loony lefties. They want to put America first. Maybe you should do the same.
Some issues cross party lines.
Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders share some views.

Tucker and Candace are basically provocative performers. That's being polite.

My opinion is that a nuclear Iran just creates more, lethal entanglements that the region and the world will require us to deal with.

Not even Hezbollah did anything to help Iran. Don't know if true but: News Channel 12 (Israel) reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump were shown an image of the body of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, after it was recovered by Iranian authorities from its compound in Tehran.

When did Iran attack and kill Americans? None of the 9/11 terrorists
were Iranians.
Iran through its proxies has routinely attacked U.S. military personnel and installations. U.S. civilians have been caught in the middle of these hostilities.

It's never been exactly a cold war between Iran and the U.S.

I think the sentiment is very different now. Not in military support, but in government support.
It's far too early to tell.
My social media is lighting up, but it appears to be all the Trump haters I know.

There's a difference between Afghanistan, Iran and terrorist groups. Why not just admit you're siding with terrorists not peaceful Iranians.
Correct, there is a difference. And at this point the USA is killing civilians and not terrorists. They are bombing cities.

Do you expect life of U.S. military personnel to be free of risk in a hostile
region half of the world away from home?

What are the U.S. military doing in the Middle East anyway? To
safeguard oil supply to Asia?

When Clinton and Obama invaded Middle East I supported them cause they also were against the actual terrorists. Did a few innocent lives end up killed? Yes. There can never be peace without death. That's like saying rain exists without water. 🥴
There can never be peace without death.

Hope you are so cavalier when US lives are lost.

I honestly don't know if the House Democrats could vote to stop air strikes.
I am fairly sure they could not override the Senate.
They of course would be able to threaten budget approval.
It would be a suicide for democrats not to support the airstrikes and regime change in Iran. They will lose all of the middle voters they still have

What the US is doing right now is eliminating the next NK, arguably an infinitely worse version with oil and ideology and proxies.

Just like the last time they had to support Bush's invasion of and regime
change in Iraq.

squeeze, this "I'm on a team" thinking is probably not a good place for you and anyone.

While Phil and I share certain political sentiments, we don't always agree on everything. As far as I know, we are both fine with that.
Until you're not! Notice how annoyed Phil gets with Butler now that the Butt has gone all anti-Trump....

One day, you might find Phil goes all anti-Trump if Trump does something that affects his personal pocketbook, and then what are you two going to do in the secret group? Who leaves, who stays is the question.

If I may suggest, you both appoint Ritchie as the judge and executioner. Just pick a day he's not fishing.
