Current Events » Trump goes to social media saying he just bombed 3 Iranian nuclear sites
As with Iraq, a significant chunk of Democrats will be on board with this but I don't think they would have done it left to their own devices. Unlike 2003 the president is unpopular and the administration has done no work to sell this to people. Most elected Democrats will find it difficult to be openly in support of Trump's actions. In upcoming days you'll be able to identify the shitty ones because their outrage will be directed at the fact that he didn't get congressional approval for this - rather than the act of striking Iran itself.

In upcoming days they will act outraged - not that Trump bombed Iran but that he didn't get congressional approval for it.
I feel like with Israel being a mad dog off its leash, it was probably inevitable and now we're gonna see all the talking heads on TV pulling a 2003 and going from "FUCK TRUMP" to "This needed to be done and its our patriotic duty to support it"

ughhhhhh

*China and Russia have entered the chat*

Russia isn't going to do anything because they are overstretched.

China is likely just going to shrug. They don't want to encourage Iran to go all out because doing so would probably cause short term chaos in the Strait of Hormuz, a passageway where China imports a lot of oil from.

am I wrong in saying that the anti-Bush sentiment completely went away for a while when we entered Iraq in 03? It came back sure but people were becoming pariahs for going against the pro-war narrative

the pile of geriatrics we keep electing for congress apparently learned nothing from the last time we got stuck in a 20 year middle eastern war other than "guess we'd better actually declare it this time lmao"

*nobody* is signing on to go die in a desert for nothing a second time. Surprised there was even a first time.

"but bush!"

Bush was fresh off the most significant attack the US had in decades when he sent a generation off to get blown up for nothing.
Why not go all in?

How could anti-Bush sentiment go away when we entered Iraq when it was already gone after 9/11?

Hope I'm just being dramatic but I really hope the world doesn't go full fucking batshit insane.

We've been teetering on the edge enough as it is already

I can't see this bombing causing other countries to join.

Russia is too overstreched to help Iran.

China loves the Iranian regime since it is anti-Western, but they don't want the chaos of a war to cut off a big source of their oil.

Russia has their hands full. Doubtful China gets involved. Hopefully they dont block that port.

Johnson doesn't give a shit. He's as feckless a man as I've ever seen.
Trump could have gone to Congress, and they 100% would have approved this war.

Considering most of them are in AIPACs pocket and would rather start a war then lose that funding.

You know, if this reasoning turns out to be true that might be a pretty big reason why they did this now of all times.

Actually yeah it could had been avoided if Dems were in power. Bibi feels emboldened right now by Trump. Plus the Dems would not be united on attacking Iran.
Nah, you people are mad coping. Whatever pushback the Dems are giving is at face value only. After oct 7th they went full mask off and any and everything concerning Israel is, and always was Bipartisan in nature.

And that's what's fucking sad

I am of the opinion that we should not be bombing other countries until every American has access to affordable quality healthcare and a decent place to live, but apparently our elected officials from both parties think that's just not worth trying to go for

The likely reality is there isn't much Iran can do to respond to this. All they have left are a limited amount of missiles that in the long run isn't going to do much. They could temporarily block the Strait of Hormuz, but that will cause more economic damage the Asia, Europe, and the Middle East than it does to America. Their last resort may be to try an initiate some terrorist attacks in America, but if those actually work and kill people Iran is getting bombed to hell and it will spell the end of the current Iranian government.

Makes sense. No one expected America to quickly decimate the Iraqi military. It would have been dumb for China to not learn from that.

I've seen CIA YouTube debunk that. Much of Iran's arms remain underground for unthinkable.
Many decoy targets being hit by Israel this spring also.

Even if he could get a blank check war declaration from congress, at this point I think the US military prefers the cover of being "technically not at war."

I agree with everyone saying that Democrats will support this because if there's one thing we learned is that when it comes to war, it's bipartisan especially when it can be used to strip away more rights from the citizens and hide behind the shield of patriotism to avoid any negative push back from this but I want to add something else, the right wing will start falling back in line and in a disgusting display of American ignorance Trump's approval rating may go up a little bit.

Perhaps. My take on it is that it's not so bad a first response given the realities of a stupid electorate and an enemy-controller mainstream media.

For example, if he were to flat-out call the strikes "illegal", that's an invitation to the press and Republicans (but I repeat myself) to endlessly blather about the murky legalities of US presidents unilaterally making war, only to inevitably arrive at Republican-favoring conclusions.

In contrast to all that shit, "Trump owns this shit show" is the better message to try to make stick.
