Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz — putting one-fifth of world’s oil supply at risk [More]
And Trump promises more if they retaliate.
So much for “We’re just going to take out the nukes, honest.”
Did someone way “regime change“?
Let’s see, how do they retaliate?
We strike military targets. They target civilians.
Let’s see what happens to that “increasing appetite” when their people here start doing that. Speaking of which, file this under “WTF?”
I want the Constitution observed. Since this affects me and mine, I want my representatives to weigh in. Calling someone who agrees with that a “pathetic loser” is ad hominem, a logical fallacy. It does not speak well to position or character.
Oh, and I’d like to see the evidence.
Still, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge how we got to this point.
UPDATE
Iran fires missiles at US bases in Qatar, Iraq

The US currently has surplus oil. Anybody hurt by closing Hormuz who is a friend can buy from us instead. And anybody who isn’t a friend can bugger off. And now that the Israelis have kicked in the door nothing stops the Saudis from responding to this act of war with their air force and destroy the Iranian naval and missile forces doing the blockade.
America has oil yes… But it’s STILL underground! What happened to this “drill baby drill” and “frack, frack, frack”?
The gas in my state sure hasn’t gone down post election.
‘ So much for “We’re just going to take out the nukes, honest.” ‘
Why does that bring Carlos Mencia to mind?
Oh, yeah!
“You can trust me! I’ll just put it in a little bit and you’ll still be a virgin!”
Why do we have bases in Iraq for Iran to attack in the first place? I remember watching CNN with my folks when Bush Jr bombed Bagdhad, and I wasn’t even 11 years old then! Can’t we be done now?
Can’t we just have America First for a change? End the wars? Oh well, Trump and the GOP just committed political suicide for the mid terms and probably for ’28 as well. America’s tired of wasting blood and treasure.
