Again, do not discuss how/why we got here, or whether it was a good idea, this is not the place for that and only leads down one road. If you're going to protest the war or complain about moderation, better to just stay out of this thread.
Protest is banned and only cheerleading allowed is how I read that statement. Doesn’t seem very “fair and balanced”. Not that I am surprised it’s just the quiet part out loud.
I agree with many that this is a long term war, excursion, diversion, special military action or whatever name that is reapplied daily like makeup. Iran is not getting bombed out of the ability to wreak havoc If it was the straits would be open today. The fact that we are two weeks in and they are not open says a lot. This has reinvigorated Iranian nationalism and they will not walk away quietly. The hornets nest has been kicked over.
