A deal made after two 8 yr predecessors did not. It would NOT have led to a nuke already, that is pure falsehood. The billion in cash was already THEIR money. And you’re going to have to show evidence that cash was trailed to make EFP IEDs that maimed and killed our boys. And what boys? Iran didn’t kill any US soldier recently until after Feb 28. And the 6 that died in the same day was a midair collision, not Iranian military action that shot them down.

Is this a poor attempt at a strawman? Just because Europe is ruining itself from the inside doesn't mean I hope for it to happen. A strong Europe is great for the U.S. but their own policies have made them weak. I have no control over that. I can only serve and vote in the United States.

You vote? How sweet. Here's a lolly pop. Your vote is exactly equal to those of the 54% or so of Americans who read below a 6th grade level. 20% are functionally illiterate.
The Kagan Clan understands how power and influence works. As does the Kristol clan.
(Despise them both. But I don't understand power or influence either, so I guess this is what we get)

The FAA would have closed any such airspace to US aircraft.
The Americans had access to flight schedule pamphlets, a screen that showed the airplane clearly climbing away at 250 knots, not diving. And no, they weren’t monitoring 121.5. Bandar Abbas to Dubai is a short flight. Radio #2 would have have been busy getting weather, company ops, in range, etc. Not to mention, the F14 was not a carrier/destroyer attack aircraft with how they had them equipped.
Are we talking about a road-raging redneck in a pickup truck? Or geoplitical affairs?

It ended in 2018. So what are you referring to? “Iran attacks via proxies” is a trending term on podcasts and right wing media. Weird how that works.

And “they” did not know of the escalation down there. Chasing down small boats against orders is not something that was anticipated.
Monday morning QB is easy, especially when you have the enemy talking points and no combat experience and no military experience.

Yes CA politicians absolutely created a fuel shortage (all the ones we care about gas, diesel, kerosene).
And now they get to blame it on DJT, just in time for the midterms. Not sure why he didn't let them lie in the bed they made for a while and do Iran after midterms

It actually is Trumps fault my dude. Anyone who cannot see that truly needs to turn off Fox.

Just as an example of one easily findable article.
Weird, his wiki seems to omit such things.....
