Remember, in your world, Allied Force was just a "skirmish" while Epic Fury is a war!
I’ve ignored everything above this paragraph as just an unhinged rant. But this one is worth addressing. Simple. Op Allied Force was a NATO LED OPERATION. For a war that we did not start. 2 huge differences between that and this hot mess called epic fury. This is not NATO led. I won’t get into what the U.S. has done the past couple years to NATO nations that have weakened NATO. But those two are huge in terms of differences between the two ops.
Lastly, no one is trying to take away your right to criticize the current administration. However, there is a vast difference between policy criticism and your continuous, systematic defense of a terror regime. You hide behind the First Amendment to carry water for a hostile theocracy that chants "Death to America." You aren't even on the side of the Iranian people, who were literally celebrating American and Israeli bombs falling on the regime that oppresses them and guns them down for daring to... shall we say... criticize their government.
Intellectually dishonest conversation. I hear “death to America” in about the same frequency as TDS when it’s used to prove a point using a worn out trope. I’m sure there’s many Iranians happy about the regime faltering. But Iranians largely are Iranians first. Their hatred of American and Israeli bombs being dropped on their homeland is greater than their hatred of the regime. Especially when Trump threatens to go after civilian infrastructure like bridges and electric plants. No Iranian is cheering or supporting that on.
That's how you should know that you're on the wrong side of this debate. Whether you choose to admit it or not, we both know your entire stance is only because Trump is the one spearheading it. You are literally incapable of supporting anything Trump does because you're brainwashed and incapable of thinking beyond hyper-partisan nonsense. And that's the difference between you and I. Had Biden or Obama done this, I would have been behind them 200%. Instead, we got the famous "Don't." And that really projected strength in MENA, didn't it? Kinda like the "red line" did in Syria, or "it depends if it's a minor incursion..." in Ukraine.
This is entirely incorrect. And at the expense of embarrassing myself, I’ll share that of the past 3 elections in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I voted for Trump on two of those three occasions. So please leave the partisan stuff out. I don’t have TDS or whatever partisan nonsense is out there these days.
And to be fair, if Obama or Biden had done epic fury, my response would be exactly the same.
