kind of amazing how people are simultaneously against israel doing genocide and pro US doing things that enable israel's genocide. Why are the Houthis suddenly attacking those precious, innocent cargo ships? Idk must be because Iran told them to and no other reason. No critical thinking skills at all.

"No we HAVE to bomb the brown savages. They're all terrorists! We're only protecting our solderinos who were unjustly attacked!"

I understand why we need to retaliate when Houthis attack global shipping and Iranian backed proxies strike our soldiers, but there IS a risk of getting dragged into another war in the Middle East

[Trunp] was the first president of our lifetime to describe the Iraq War as a failure and the first president of my lifetime not to start a new war.

This guy seems to acknowledge that the Iraq war was a mistake, and yet he sees the need to repeat exactly the kind of escalation the lead to it in the first place?

Maybe he just didnt make the connection? I dont get it.

:thonk:

Not really. With Iran being the biggest regional player there's little chance of the US getting dragged into a war because Iran is unlikely able to prosecute an actual war outside of its own borders. That means that unless the US decides to invade the country, we can precision bomb iran-backed militias from the air with impunity.

"With impunity"
