Would war with Iran even be that big of a deal if it was to happen? Bomb the hell out of them and move on. However I hope war is not needed but if it is. I hope it’s a fast war. Boom and done!

Yep, nice and quick like the Bush war with Iraq. You remember, the one that we were promised would cost $50 million and be done in a month or two. Oh wait, that didn't happen--we're still over there, and it cost several trillion.

War is a big deal. People die. A real president wouldn't provoke war with Iran. Let's hope we do not.

We are only there to defend Americans interest. If Iran fires rockets at our men and woman then yes we will hit back with overwhelming force @windinhishair

@marriedplus3 So American interests are to start a war with Iran by provoking them?
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
No of course not. We are not provoking them. Just warning them that we stand ready to defend if needed @windinhishair

@marriedplus3 So if China put an armed carrier ten miles off the coast near San Francisco, they would just be warning us that they stand ready to defend themselves if needed?
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
Well yes although they wouldn’t do that without intelligence that we mean harm. I believe Obama would do the same thing if intelligence suggested a attack on US troops @windinhishair

@marriedplus3 You don't know what they would or wouldn't do. Best thing to do is to not start another unnecessary war that will cost every American taxpayer thousands of dollars.

Where not starting anything. But are you saying it’s ok if Iran fires rockets at our troops in Iraq?@windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 No, it wouldn't be OK.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
So if it wouldn’t be ok. If Iran was to do that. What should the United States do about it? @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Support the successful Iran nuclear deal that we used to support, for one. And don't work so hard at provoking Iran. If they still attack, then they will suffer the consequences.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
So then you agree with the United States defending themselves @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Sure, in a case of unprovoked attack. But we have a history of provoking others to draw us into war. Read up on the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.

I think it’s simple for Iran. Don’t Attack US troops. If they do don’t do that. Then they can ignore the aircraft carrier.@windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 I doubt they will attack, and even if an attack is announced, you can't assume the US government is telling the truth unless others are able to verify it.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
The news will verify it @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Depends. If it is on Fox, then you can assume it is false.
