Avoid war as much as possible but if we must go make it count. For me the destruction of the Republic from within is a more pressing concern.

I was 9 years old when the shah was thrown out.......and I remember my dad saying how this was very very bad.......I didn't comprehend much at that time.....world affairs was the last thing a kid thinks about. looking back....my dad was a very very wise man.............sure do miss him!

now that i'm older,,,and understand history.............carter was an impotent fool............he should've cracked down instead of wringing his hands and kicking the can down the road.

Wow even Pelosi and Schumer all agree the drone was in international airspace. If we do go to war we need to hit them quick hard and large.

The only way to do that would be nuke.
I wonder if Trump has the nads to use nukes?

And she was able to burn the White House down too!

There ya go. Fixed it for ya

I can't believe I'm typing this, but I can't see any value in war at this point. We've been the police of the world long enough. If we're preventing nukes send some missiles over and be done with it. If we're just being taunted strangle their economy. If they want to kill each other let them have at it. We can't save them all without anyone else helping. If they come after us let them have the full wrath.

Why don't we send the stinking politicians over and let them fight it out. Better yet put every heads of state in a room with ball bats , lock the doors and whoever is left standing wins.

He had the nads to use the MOAB which no other president has. Using a NUKE now would almost guarantee Russia would also use them too. With several countries having nukes its almost certain if 1 is released other countries would also release their nukes.

my bet is someone.. usa..... isreal .... nato........bombs irans uranium enrichment facility.

Stupid ......

Yeah

This kind of behavior can not go without response! Will need to be handles with precision! But needs to be delt with all the same.

They are blowing up oil tankers, atacking other countries with rockets, and now shooting down our aircraft!

I'd look for trump to deal quickly and accurately.

X3

We should have nuked the entire region on 09/12/2001 and been done with it. It will eventually have to come to that or total extinction of Western culture. Maybe not in our lifetime but within the next 100 years I guarantee it.

Iran needs smacked upside the head , no doubt.........Putin is the snake in the grass .............imo

There should be some sort of pool for what will happen. I would put my money on the "jack squat" square. Trumps
(or any of POTUS) handlers won't let him do anything to Iran.

Britain, Russia and China are nations to keep an eye on. But rest assured.....they control enough that the general public will never truly be alerted.

It is relevant that not one post here has mentioned that Iran has been goading the American President for months. They have stated they took part in 9 11. They have been deliberately crossing the President's lines in the sand, including the downing of this expensive drone, which proves that Iran's version of the Russian S 300 is capable. Remember lesser systems in Syria downed Tomahawks and knocked a top of the line F 16 which the IDF was flying out of the sky. According to media reports, Russia delivered an advanced version of the S 300 to Iran. That points to the S 400 which can knock almost anything out of the sky.

As everyone once again jumps in and wants to bomb a nation that deserves it, maybe it would be intelligent to be informed and ask, why does Iran want America to attack them?

Iran is a nation according to Dick Cheney, which has only 48 hours worth of targets for the United States. It is a nation in the last year of Bush43 which tried to sell FARC in South America, weapon's grade uranium for an attack up on the United States. It has agents spread across the globe, inside North and South America. Iran downed TWA Flight 800 and the Clinton's covered it up as they did not want a costly war with Iran.

Iran has allies with nuclear powers Russia and China. Russia has a historic treaty to come to Iranian defense when attacked.

In understanding those additional facts, maybe it makes a bit more sense in why Iran would provoke an attack upon itself as Iran believes in the long run it can win, and that includes smoking enough Arab oil wells to alienate what were American allies in Europe and Asia.

Jimmy Carter in human rights, brought down an American ally in the Shah. The British installed Khomeini whose father was British to produce a communist regime which would assist in Zbigniew Brzezinski's militant Islam for a war with the Soviet Union. None of that happened, and America has bled money and blood ever since.
Bill Clinton's Kosovo General, Wes Clark, stated that he was told there were seven Muslim states which were going to be toppled. Iran and Lebanon are the last two. The IDF just completed maneuvers for that war in Lebanon, and the United States has been prepositioning nuclear air and sea forces against Iran. For those who missed it, most of the foreigners, including Americans were evacuated from Iraq. The reason is, Iraq is the missile fly over and shoot down zone of Patriot missiles in Shahabs coming out of Iran.
Now a bunker would protect American personnel from conventional warheads, so the question is, what are on those Iranian missiles, which the United States knows will be traveling to Israel, which an American could not hide from in a bunker.

The question is why is Iran goading the United States to destroy their nuclear processing center, which will the give Iran legal justification to defend itself in retaliating.

The United States has the largest oil and gas supply in the world. It will last 200 years. America has not any vested interest in dealing with Iran or defending nations like Saudi Arabia or Israel who both have nuclear weapons and can defend themselves. It is not in American interests to be involved there and it is not worth finding out what Iran's card in the hole is in endangering one American life.

Iranian oil production is declining at 8% per year. It has a zero birth rate. In that same period of time, Iran will cease to be a viable nation. It is illogical to force an issue which time will correct without endangering Americans.

Iran is getting decimated by sanctions, their inflation is 40% and their gdp is dropping 4 to 5 % a year. The Mullahs have to do something or the country will implode.

lol, lets run them out of ammo
