    If the Dems think they're going to lose to Trump. I wouldn't put it past them to start wwiii and then declare martial law and not have elections due to threats from terrorists

    You've absolutely read my mind. The reason they are vacillating is Fox et al. pared away from Trump in the wake of the millions that they had to pay out because of white supremacist Tucker's lies. Remember how there was a while here when all of the ex-Trump supporters were complaining about us even mentioning him. Trying to forget...But now Trump's back in the limelight and there's media moolah to be made sucking up to his orange ass again. They must be fibrillating every day in the fox offices watching the needle change and planning how they're going to layout the red orange carpet again. If Faux steps into line (almost a given) then most of Trump's flagging troops will as well. Pure humiliation.

    Actually a pretty concise contextual analysis starting at the 6:00 min mark of the video. Forget the person listen to the specifics discussed. Black gold.....who do increased prices benefit?
    Excellent discussion on ME tinderbox.

    Evidently, you feel it necessary to expose yourself to ridicule by asserting Biden not telling the enemy what his military response will be is dictatorial in nature. Followed up by intimating a proportional response directed at a specific target means he "want(s) to start WWIII" even as Repub senators Graham and Cornyn beat the drums of war. Concluding with the regurgitation of the fatuous, fading claim of Joe's corruption in view of a complete lack of proof.

    Next time, perhaps another cup of coffee before posting will lessen your humiliation.

    You hit me on the arm, I hit you on the arm, you hit me on the arm, I hit you on the arm, you hit me on the arm, I plant a hard one on your kisser and you are out cold. Fight is over and you respect me forever.
    First off, we should not have a military base in any foreign land. Why do we think we can rule the world? Our war-mongers are always looking for a war to get us into.
    But if I was the president, I would bomb every one of Iran's oil wells and all of their oil refineries. I would also bomb each of their gas and oil reservoirs. I would also bomb very one of their military bases. Then I would take control of the skies over Iran and prevent any re-construction of the oil wells, military bases, and refineries. Then I would close all of our military bases on foreign lands.

    Me too. They won't say what US should do, they'll wait until something is done and then criticize it.

    If they said what should be done, it might accidentally agree with what actually was done.

    I hope this is true. I fear that it is not. My fear is that there will be essentially a symbolic response that does nothing to truly deter similar aggression in the future. I sincerely hope it is strong enough that we have seen the last of Iraqi funded agression for the foreseeable future. It needs to be a response that substantively hurts Iran. As of right now, I am skeptical that this will be the case. Biden is viewed as weak on the world stage. I hope that view is wrong.

    He should have continued the strong Trump Policies that was keeping them in check, rather that flooding them with the very $Billions they are now using to export terror via their proxies; in Israel, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

    Bribed Joe has more and more blood on his hands. He demonstrated to the world that was a push over when he bugged out of Kabul and turned Afghanistan and left $Billions in US equipment for the Taliban.

    Iran Threatens to Strike Back If Bribed Joe Strikes Back For the Killing of 3 Americans and Wounding 34 others

    [​IMG]

    With Bribed Joe's Open Borders Disaster, Iranian Proxies Terror Cells are probably staged throughout the nation.

    Iran tells Bribed Joe That He's Their Bitch.

    'After Iran-backed militants killed three American soldiers and wounded dozens of others with a drone strike, Joe Biden promised that we would “strike back.” We still haven’t seen that response, but we’ve been told that it’s on the way. Meanwhile, the Iranians are promising to do some “striking back” of their own if Biden responds as promised. The threat first came from Amir Saeid Iravan, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations. He wasn’t any more specific than Biden has been, saying only that his country would “respond decisively” and that it would be a “strong response.”'

    Bribed Joe is most comfortable with armed raids against pro-Life Catholics.

    Iran said if they get hit they will retaliate.

    Biden says he doesn't want things to escalate.

    Translation: What Iran said will cause Biden to have a weak response.

    Nobody takes this guy serious. If he does make a token strike he will give fair warning.

    So. The answer is clear:
    -If Biden has a measured response through say diplomacy, or a surgical strike, the right will call him a naive pu$$y
    -If Biden has a strong response, say a large strike on Iran and/or Iraq, he will be called a neocon warmonger.

    But here is the impressive thing: the same people will call Biden BOTH weak AND a warmonger. Will call for bombing Theran and for withdrawing from the region. These people also have the WORST memory of all times (see @Zorro post regarding consulting congress, or @drluggit regarding presidents having plans and not communicating them to fellow Americans)
    I'm putting this place holder here:
    Remember that in 2017, during a civil war in Syria the neocon US president without consulting congress, sent 59 missiles against Assad's forces. Trump trumpeted, really his words, "mission accomplished" (really should have chosen better words, no?)
    Than in 2018, because Syria "did not get the message" (his general's words) the globalist president Trump allied with the UK and France to send over 100 missiles into Assad forces
    Than in 2019 Trump withdrew our troops on the ground in Syria.

    That's some powerful projection. Would you have thought to suggest it if the declaration of martial law had not been discussed within the Trump admin after he lost the election to Biden? Or if he had not spoken openly about how he would use the military in a second term?

    A meeting President Donald Trump held to discuss overturning the election result alarmed some White House staffers – people who are used to Trump’s inflammatory and anti-democratic rhetoric.

    With only a month remaining until President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn into office, Trump has been ramping up his efforts to remain president, while also trying to convince millions of Americans that election fraud is to blame for his presidential loss.

    That’s nothing new. But a heated Oval Office meeting Friday in which Trump heard arguments about invoking martial law to stay in office had some Trump officials sounding the alarm to the press.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/20/media/stelter-trump-martial-law/index.html

    Trump hints at expanded role for the military within the US. A legacy law gives him few guardrails

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Campaigning in Iowa this year, Donald Trump said he was prevented during his presidency from using the military to quell violence in primarily Democratic cities and states.

    Calling New York City and Chicago “crime dens,” the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination told his audience, “The next time, I’m not waiting. One of the things I did was let them run it and we’re going to show how bad a job they do,” he said. “Well, we did that. We don’t have to wait any longer.”

    Trump has not spelled out precisely how he might use the military during a second term, although he and his advisers have suggested they would have wide latitude to call up units. While deploying the military regularly within the country’s borders would be a departure from tradition, the former president already has signaled an aggressive agenda if he wins, from mass deportations to travel bans imposed on certain Muslim-majority countries.

    I'm not allowed to say apparently because I have a mod stalking me and reading through every post I make to find an infraction. So if I respond in the same fashion as others in this thread have I'll be hit with infraction points. But apparently it's cool for everybody else to talk about how the us should respond.

    Or here I got it. We should be a big bunch of ******* and kiss irans ass and hold hands and be their bitch. There we go hopefully that passes as not glorifying violence.

    You do realize it was Trump who shot down the idea of using martial law right?
    if martial law was being forcefully argued, who do you think had the last say on whether they use it or not? And what did he choose?

    Well, Biden's certainly been "running his mouth" for several days already, and that has given the terrorists a lot of valuable time to evacuate vulnerable potential target-areas.

    One of the first rules of effective military action is that you don't (DON'T) "telegraph-your-punches". But, who knows? Maybe he'll shoot a few missiles into some abandoned terrorist positions, or decide to put some 'sanctions' on somebody, or just blow up a few cubic yards of desert and 'call it a day'.... Let's just hope he doesn't fall over his own feet while he walks out on stage to make a self-glorifying speech to "We, the People" about what a conquering-hero he is! His handling of the AFGHANISTAN disaster already taught us exactly what kind of "hero" Biden is....
