Trump says he bombed Iran

[Oldcarpy2]

Because it's a whole other ball of wax that would derail this threads intention.

It's very relevant to the topic.

Wars are very, very costly.

[SomeStupidName]

China could live off of strategic reserves for 2 months. They have over a billion barrels. Their imports have not gone to zero. The way they differ from us is they won’t blow their load in the first week or two and tap those reserves, they will start to ration and condition their society to prepare for a prolonged conflict. I’m sure that will come with downstream effects, but it doesn’t paralyze them if this still is continuing in 3 months.

As for reverence of debt, war costs money amigo. Part of war is deciding if it’s worth it and weighing pros and cons. Considering the admin is completely pivoting on their early loose “reasons” for wars, I fail to see the pros but see many cons.

Ill talk about the debt this will incur if I want to brother, you can kick and scream of irrelevance because Trump will hold the record amount of any president, and it will be his legacy… but it is relevant, so I will talk about it.

We pump our own oil and refine it we'll be okay too, thanks.

As for the debt are you going to talk about the injunctions that stopped the investigations into waste fraud and abuse until Nick Shirley uncovered just a small fraction to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars? I bet if we went to every town and uncovered it we would find waste fraud and abuse in the trillions which would kind of put an end to your Trump made all this debt argument.

Doesn't sound too optimistic

WHITE HOUSE CAUTIOUSLY HOPEFUL ON IRAN TALKS

White House officials are cautiously optimistic that recent negotiations with Iran are progressing, CBS reports. Pakistan is acting as an intermediary with Iran’s top security officials, not just the foreign ministry, increasing the chances of meaningful dialogue, sources say.

Will revisit this topic in the coming weeks and months

See how it ages

Ok

Will you apologize when you are wrong?

I doubt it.

How is that relevant to the War?

If I am wrong sure.

But I won't be.

All diplomatic staff members remained safe as Israel carried out airstrikes in areas around Pakistan embassy and residence of Pakistan ambassador in Iranian capital in Iran on Thursday night.

Pakistan has not revieced the present warmly. Kind to be expected with how Israel likes to negotiate.

exactly, which is why I said start another thread.

Cool, prosecute them.

Do you think I’d die on a hill for domestic fraud? No sir.

Iran is 4x the size of Iraq with a much more formidable military. If you think the initial 200b is the end of the funding, I would implore you to look at how much Afghanistan and Iraq cost.

These are decisions being made now with very tangible and real costs. If you want to speculate on other alleged frauds to justify this expense, that just puts us further in debt because we say “the democrats do it, so it’s not a big deal if we do”.

Its a tired and weak justification, and doesn’t change the fact he ran on reducing debt and no new wars.
