And the 6 that died in the same day was a midair collision, not Iranian military action that shot them down.

Iran increased its support for DA terrorism as well as through its proxies following the passage of the JCPOA. This isn’t a secret.

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.

Americans don't understand power and influence.

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)

They literally flew right into it. The IR government let them do it. No sympathy.

The FAA would have closed any such airspace to US aircraft.

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.
Monday morning QB is easy, especially when you have the enemy talking points and no combat experience and no military experience.

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.

In late 80s? Doubtful.

And “they” did not know of the escalation down there. Chasing down small boats against orders is not something that was anticipated.

Thats a cop out answer.

Weird, there was no shortage before bombs started dropping.

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

Yeah, a guy that supported the Iraq war and doubled down later to increase troop levels

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...-iraq-war.html

Just as an example of one easily findable article.

Weird, his wiki seems to omit such things.....

So you are saying that Iran hasn’t trained Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and others for decades? And by after the JCPOA, I’m talking about 2015-18 while it was in effect. I know…crazy what happens when you release billions to a terrorist regime.
