The Military Industrial Complex wins again.

Whats the exit strategy of this noble mission?

Get ready for more price increases on groceries, fuel and everything else!

 

You can’t believe Trump is part of the military industrial complex?

Is that supposed to be a question?

I believe my only question is what’s the exit strategy. 
 

The military industrial complex wins again is a statement.

If you don’t enter, you don’t need to exit.

Someone will take over….

I just heard CNN complaining because Trump has not laid out his plan……smh.  Telling the world his plan would be telling Iran….right now Iran knows as much as you and I know….and that’s a good thing.

Yeah….I am sure we were thinking the same when we went into Afghanistan. We stayed 20 years and left in a disgraceful way. 
 

War is big business for the military industrial complex. 

What does the average American citizen stand to gain from this war? 
 

We currently have spent 8 trillion in the Middle East and lost about 7000 soldiers going all the way back to Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention the thousands of soldiers that deal with ptsd from these wars. I am trying to figure out what we have gained as a country by getting into that quagmire.

You are right, that about Trump wasn’t a question.  So, how does Trump benefit financially from doing these military actions?  Unless we have a different understanding of what the military industrial complex means.

President Trump has changed the course of history for the better!  No doubt about it!!

Too early to tell.

I will say this from my perspective. If Iran and their proxies are removed as an impediment to regional unrest, and--as payback for assistance--Israel will accept a Palestinian State due to more stability, it may provide the basis for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords.

THAT would be the biggest factor towards getting long-term stability in the ME. If the Saudis join, many others will follow.

What are you willing to accept in removing their leadership and proxies? 4 mos., 1 yr., 5 yrs., more? I think history shows that western attempts to influence the entire region have failed all the way back to the crusades.

In defense of Trump. It’s not as if he wanted to go to war. He only did because Israel has Epstein blackmail on him.. so cut him some slack

Trump!!

China doesn’t depend on oil as much as you think. Our leaders are too greedy and stupid to figure out where our biggest source of energy comes from. 
 

Elon knows.

“We’ve got plenty of missiles!”  Which pretty much means we’re running short of missiles.  
 

Reports say that Trump offered a ceasefire and the Iranians were like “yeah….. no.” There’s 90 million of them used to fighting.  There are 330 million of us who would surrender if you told us we’d have to give up our Starbucks.   We’re soft, fat, lazy, and no one under the age of 30 has been in a fistfight, and they’ve been conditioned to report bullying, not stand up for themselves.
 

America is a fattened calf.

Let me put it in a way you should understand.

If I thought it would keep my grandkids safe from terrorist attacks, I’d be willing to give some years, part of my body, and part of my soul.

Oh wait…

Great sentiment… but are you willing to sacrifice those same grandkids for whatever it is that were fighting for? 
 

But that’s what’s actually being asked of you, not some hypothetical granpappy “well, if I still could, I would” nonsense.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh was hit by two drones from Iran on Monday as Americans in Saudi Arabia were instructed to shelter in place. The embassy was empty at the time of the hits and no injuries were reported as a result of the attack.
