So the only thing we can truly say is that Iran doesn't have ballistic missiles and they dont have a nuclear weapon and we know that how? Because our leaders tells us so. I am not a true believer yet.

I'd say if they had it, they'd use it. So Yes, I believe our administration.

Nice assumption. I dont believe a word that comes out of Trumps mouth. He certainly hasn't been an oracle of honesty.

Don't mis-understand me, I don't like Trump but I do agree with his policies. At least he speaks his own mind and not just talking points given to him like Biden, or words meant to stay in power from Obama or Clinton.

Every day I find something more to despise Trump about, but I truly feel he and his administration are doing what they believe is best for our republic (and I agree with most of their actions).

You clearly are blinded by a hatred. What specific policies would you do different? Leave Maduro in power? Take the foot off the throat of the Cuban administration? Continue carrying NATO? Or can your political stance be summed up in a single word? "HATER"

It was what their (Iranian) negotiator said, they were weeks away from 10 to 13 bombs.

Iran is a 1000x weaker than when Obama left the office. Even Trump hitting Soleimani in Iraq, during his first term was the first time in recent memory that the US sent a message to Iran.

Th

I watched a short documentary on Curtis Lemay on what he had planned for Japan.

His idea was to just keep up the fire bombing, 3 flights a day over Japan until there was nothing left. He figured that with the surrender in Europe and the additional men, planes, and resources that we would be unstoppable in the process and that boots on the ground in Japan would not be needed.

The fire bombing was more destructive than the two atomic bombs that were dropped.

Thats not far off from the initial plan with Korea. Dan Carlin’s hardcore history episode “the destroyer of worlds” was about the history of the nuclear bomb from creation to modern day.
It discussed where general Douglas MacArthur wanted to do a nuclear blitzkrig on Korea saying it would end the war quick.
Sad truth is if you look at how many millions died from the bombing and how many of them were civilians. The the structural damage done to the country he may have been right.

Yet they control the state of Hormuz and have not agreed to Trumps agenda and appear that they are not close to an agreement after what Trump said would take two to three weeks to accomplish. The US is now into the third month of this "war". By controlling the shipping going through the straight it appears that Iran is in a stronger position than when this fiasco started. It would certainly be nice if Trump started telling the American people the truth for a change but I am not certain he knows how to.

The U.S. determined that after the battles on Okinawa, Tarawa and Iwo Jima. The Japanese would never surrender and it would take a major invasion of troops on the ground.

Projections were 1 million U.S. casualties.
Truman decided to end it.

The battle of peleliu was the first battle where the Japanese switched up there tactics. The book “the last of old breed” that they based part of the show “the pacific”on dang near brought me to tears
Hearing the hardships those marines had to go through over there.
Guys who fought both theaters said no enemy was more tenacious and fanatical than the Japanese. Easy to believe when you realize they had squads and whole companies literally decades after the war was over that were still fighting not believing that the war had ended.

How many Iranian ships have gone through the straight? zero
How many US military ships have gone through? Many

Yes, Iran is trying to hold shipping hostage, but that won't last much longer.

I would be more worried about the well being of the US - the ecoonomy for starters. He ran on making things affordable. I am not in support of foreign wars, Venezuela and next Cuba are places we do not belong in my opinion. Transparency is not one of his characteristics. The talk about attacking Greenland or making Canada our 51st state is ignorant at best. We should be partners with Canada and Mexico as that is how we keep China to a minimum in North America. I can justify Iran except he said it would be over quickly - two to three weeks at most, as of late he has taken all time lines off because he has found that his planning was way off. We are no closer to an agreement than before the conflict started. Iran now is using the SOH as a bargainig chip which they did not use before. Why did Trumo and his minion not see this coming. I fear that if we do not yet have boots on the ground we will shortly.

Reqardless of party I expect to be able to trust what our president says. I also expect our president to support our constitution and not to see how far they can distort it for thier own political gains. I also expect a president not to use his position for financial gains. His job is too make this country great - not himself. Trump in my opinion has failed on all three counts.

Hiroo Onoda was deployed to the Philippines in late 1944. He didn’t surrender until 1974.

That is the problem with fundamentalism. It can't be debated and is immune from uncomfortable facts or research because it is anchored in a circular belief system. The response to every logical argument is the Bible says so - or perhaps more correctly, my sect's interpretation of the Bible says so.

I appreciate your argument, but we arent in the1950s anymore, [ scopes monkey trial] there is substantial research and scientific analyisis from creation believing scientist bearing data to substantiate the beliefs in a God created earth. much of this information is available on, ANSWERS IN GENESIS. I would not begin to try and regurgitate the AUGUMENT here. Evidence in the grand canyon , dinosaurs , ect, is covered.
a CIRCULAR belief system , goes back to millions of years every time that always answers everything.
I will not question anyone's' sincerity of belief in a god ,OR THE GOD ,but if you cannot believe these scriptures. 1 But from the beginning of creation. mark 10-6
2 since the beginning of creation mark 13:8
3Since the beginning of time john 9 :32.
4 the beginning of the world until now, matthew 24: 21
5 In the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth. Hebrews 1:10
6 It was from the beginning of creation II Peter 3-4
7 the beginning of the creation of GOD Rev. 3-14.
these scriptures all rest on 1 Greek word.
THESE and others speak of a definite time and and space event, they could have just as easily said billions and billions of years ago, but they dont !
secularism [unbelief] runs headon into fundamentalism when you solve everything by billions of years. conveniently enough . by the way the Folsom point timeline has been changed by archaeologist, not fundamentalist.
Fossils in a river bead substantiates a great world catastrophic event which defines a major destruction and reorganization of the earth," recreation " by flood waters.
But maybe more importantly is the belief in a future destruction , makeover by elements melting away by fire ,promised in several places, but who in the scientific world would believe in such a thing no evidence of that, oh wait there is in the great world flood, AS evidence from the past looking on to the second catastrophic destruction as promised.

So, you'd prefer Maduro still be running drugs into our country? And you want to partner with a NarcoState called Mexico? I get it, you have anything Trump does.
Take Trump literal all you like I can diagnose TDS from here. Cuba is being supported big time by China, yet you say we should be against China and should leave Cuba alone. Yep, TDS Bigly!

There was no evidence he was running drugs to North America - it is beleived he may have been running them to Europe. If it was all about drugs why did we have to take over thier oil? Seems to me saying its about drugs was a means to take thier oil.

So how long should we wait? Six months a year? Certainly wasnt two or three weeks.

I disagree with your position on Iran 100%, however I think this is correct. And it was done to put pressure on China and Russia.

Yep, TDS.

From AI (from Biden DOJ) - The arrest stems from a 2020 indictment accusing him of conspiring with Colombian guerrillas to smuggle tons of cocaine into the U.S. and abusing his position for personal enrichment, charges he has denied.

Let's see how the trial works out.

Also, the oil money is going back to Venezuela.

I saw that they found petrified forest fossil trees made from mountain Saint Helen in the 80’s pretty crazy
