No one is saying that there is anything positive about the Iranian regime. I won't shed a single tear when the religious fanatics that are in power in Iran are gone. I will miss them, about as much as I'll miss our own religious fanatics here in MAGAt 'MuriKKKa.

This entire sabre-rattling bullshit, reminds me of an important lesson we all should learn:

"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"

I spent 30 years in the United States Navy. I have said before that the United States military, with the support of NATO, could turn the entire planet into a "no-fly zone" in about a week if we wanted to. How's that relationship with NATO going?

It is silly, stupid and short-sighted to suggest that ANY of this shit is "easy". It's DANGEROUS to not anticipate the repercussions.

We wiped out the Iraqi and Afghanistan defense forces in about a week.

We bombed the absolute fuck out of North Korea and Vietnam.

Any of those "last more than a week"?

JFC! We militarily kidnapped the leader of Venezuela. That took about 2 hours. Think that's it? Think that's the last we'll hear from Venezuela, or South America?

Breaking things is easy.

Donnie Dipshit wants to bomb Iran, not because he gives one fuck about the "people" of Iran, but because he can.

If he really gave a damn about "regional stability", he'd be standing strong with Ukraine, instead of being Putin's sock-puppet.

Using the blood and treasure of America is one of the most serious and gravest decisions we can ever make.

Forgive me for doubting that Donnie Dipshit and Whiskey Pete understand that.

Can we bomb the shit out of Iran? Sure.
Should we bomb the shit out of Iran? I think we need Congress to weigh in.

That's what the Constitution requires...I mean...if you still believe it's relevant.
