This is the result of the crappy parade

He was humiliated by the parade so he had to stick his wiener out and bomb someone.

Or a couple days after the parade and Iran started being mentioned. I told my active duty husband, "He thinks the army looked weak, now he's going to try to prove they are strong by starting a war."

A wide-ranging Economist/YouGov poll conducted over the weekend revealed that 53% of voters who backed Trump in the 2024 presidential election do not want the country to join in Israel’s strikes.

Their views mirror those of Trump’s voters surveyed in the Economist poll, which revealed that only 19% of them favored the US getting involved militarily, and 63% wanted the administration to “engage in negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program”.

More like so so wee mushroom per Stormy. Why you think the massive jealousy over Obama? That man is packing and all these pathetic white boys can't stand their own inadequacies. I think THAT is what the racism is all about. But what do I know? Just an older italian gal here.

Lots of nice, sympathetic, and empathetic folks here, and some of ‘em have post counts in six figures! Others who are new and/or haven’t posted a lot may only have posts numbering in the singles and/or tens. Matters not! Hardly a day goes by that I don’t learn at least a little something new!

No one would dare criticize him for this, or they'd be called unpatriotic or anti-semitic for not assisting Israel.

That law is a blank check for these types of strikes.
There is a complex history involved w declaring war, as the war mongers have often run rough shod over Congress's perrogrative to declare war.

I think the military pushed for this one, they wanted to see how their 30,000 pound bomb deigned expressly for breaking into Iran's hardened storage bunkers way underground works out.

It was to counteract the bad news of losing 241 U.S. servicemen to truck bombs in Beirut on Oct. 23, 1983. Two days later, we invaded Grenada.

So, add 'em all up and he bombed Iran.

As someone wiser than me once said, "Trump is not playing 3-D chess. He's playing checkers, and he's eating all the pieces."
