Good people naturally seek unity, now. Resist that urge

I really disagree with that sentiment. As a member in good standing of the Bad Analogy Club, that’s something like being attacked by a rabid skunk that then runs off into the creek bottom. Do you say, “well, he’s gone now, and the creek is way over there and belongs to that a**hole neighbor?” Or do you call the game warden to go kill it because not only can the skunk attack someone else, it can spread its disease?
Killing Soleimani rocked Iran and leashed their worthless leadership. With Biden, Iran is right back attacking sovereign countries via their proxies and now directly. Not to mention the newly revealed assassination plan that Iran had on Trump.
The corporate corruptive link with our military has a long and ugly history, but it is only one of the reasons we have soldiers with foreign dirt on their boots.

This one kinda pisses me off. C’mon Nick, you know better than this. There are good guys and bad guys. Good guys may sometimes do bad things, but bad guys do mostly bad things, even as they pet kittens and give lollypops to children. It’s a long list of good things done by America. It is a very short list of good things done by the Iranian leadership.
The haters love to point to our checkered history, but then ignore how America has learned and tried to be better. (This is where I should offer the usual disclaimers about how I know we aren’t perfect and have room for improvement and still do bad or stupid things, blah, blah)
A huge difference between us and Iran, *we aren’t trying to make the world look like us at the end of a gun. * Iran wants the world to be like them and even better, under their rule. Subjugate women, enslave or kill anyone who doesn’t share their religious beliefs which BTW would also mean the Sunni Islam believers, too, not just Christians and Jews and Buddhists and atheists and punish those they can’t convert or enslave or kill.

Yes, we do that. And regime change is one of our go-to policies.

Furthermore, Israel is a Jewish state. Not because of Jewish people living there but as defined by their leaders, and they are expansionists with settlements. You can drum up a few ways to justify this, but if we use certain definitions, we need to be willing to look in the mirror.

Foreign wars are often the playground for our most disastrous mistakes with massive implications, mostly human suffering.

So? It was created that way after WWII. Promised by the British (Balfour Declaration-1917) Iran is a Muslim State.

As defined by God and recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible.

Israel has endured war with its neighbors, started by its neighbors, since its creation in 1947. Each of these wars sought to eliminate Israel. The creation of Israel was a 2 state solution. The geographic area of Palestine (not a country with an indigenous people) was controlled by Britain who divided it into Israel (west of the Jordan river) and Jordan (east of the Jordan river). Notice how different in size they are. The people who have been tolerated in the West Bank and Gaza are merely displaced Arabs. It is no more their ancestral homeland than the Romans who conquered it in 63BC. They have been terrorizing Israel for the last 60 years. Time for them to go.

As a nation that helped create Israel we are obligated to support and defend our alliance.

Ma$$ murder…

Classic case of FAFO…

It’s not a theory…

Does this apply?

The second trailer, released days ago, has not fared much better. Fans continue to lash out, with one commenting, “If I saw this movie on a plane, I would still walk out.”

This is my favorite comment.
