    How about aids and ebola in Africa?

    Hurricanes in Haiti?

    Tim Cook using Chinese internment camp Uighur slaves to make your iphone?

    Climate change?

    None of these are serious threats to Americans, but Iran has been killing American civilians for over 40 years, mostly without cost.

    They just bombed Iraq, a close ally of ours.

    When international sanctions interrupted their ability to slaughter women and children, Obama gave them $150,000,000,000 to jump-start their terror again. He hired an international hitman to kill Americans and their allies.

    That is Obama's legacy.

    The Iraqi PM (who we installed) said it himself. He was supposed to be at the meeting. On a side note, he and his constituents also voted 170-0 for the United States to get the fuck out of their country.

    They probably didn’t mention that on the TV either.

    Aids ebola and hurricanes are so different from unnecessary wars that even I can't take you seriously.

    If you have to watch Fox, watch Tucker instead of Hannity (he's Bizarro Maddow) and vice versa.

    With Iran a few months away from having a nuke, expect their nuke facilities to be taken out completely. Without electricity, the regime will meet the same fate as Muammar Mohammed Abu Minyar Gaddafi.

    I doubt any American troops will be needed in Iran. We will simply accelerate the sanctions, destroy their military and intelligence capabilities, and go after their military leaders directly to limit civilian and soldier deaths.

    I’m all for leaving the region and let the tribes deal with each other.
    The Iraqi Pm and all his constituents are Radical Shia that murder their own.
    Another reason I want us out of the Mid East.
    I just wish the average Iranian citizen was equipped to challenge the Mullahs but they know they will be murdered because they can’t defend themselves or have the means to revolt.
    So it comes down to those with the guns and power to surprise the people.
    No way you can change the mentality of that region.

    The only issue with leaving is Russia will take control of the region. Not that Trump hasn't already handed control to them anyway.

    Aids ebola and hurricanes are all created by man to kill minorities and gays, and to make money, according to Dems. No different than wars for profit.

    I don't watch much of either. Or much of any other commentators anywhere. Talking heads all have agendas and take forever to get to the point, a point I usually have issues with.

    I read the news, everywhere it is printed, apply it to what I know from my experience and my knowledge of history, and take into account who owns each news outlet.

    A clear picture of the truth usually rises in the process.

    I don't see us getting bogged down any more than we are already (Thanks Obama/Kerry).

    I do see Iranian revolutionaries finishing off the ailing regime, now that Trump's Real Sanctions have them on the precipice and after we cripple their ability to intimidate their populace and their neighbors.

    As long as we have troops there we are targets from Radical Islamist. They want us dead. It’s a religious war for them that they’ve been fighting for centuries.
    I’m a libertarian that opposes war and nation building. Not opposed to defending ourselves however. My youngest son 30 years old is in that region for who knows how long and I Don’t like him being there, but I support them as they are Americans men and women, civilized and contributors to our society.

    Shit, hand it all over to Russia then. Let them send their children to die fighting endless wars instead of us sending ours. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

    Good. Maybe China can fight them for it.

    Maybe if we weren't spending 50000 trillion dollars a day on endless wars we could do something else with the money.

    Let Russia go bankrupt and have their soldier's junk blown off.

    I hope you are right!
    I can’t stand the thought of a religious theocracy controlling the people at any cost.
    Hell, I’d be in favor of leaving the Mid East all together but leave enough guns for the Iranian people to use to protect themselves and/or over throw the regions radical zealots. They will need them.
