It’s horrible that the president can start a war without even asking congress.

If only there were ways to accomplish this without violence! That would be a really interesting tactic to try some day!

#93Yeah there was no good reason for that. The main thing I liked about Trump is that he didn't start any wars his first term, if he gets us into a war I'm going to be fucking mad.

While it is hard to predict what the future will being and while the middle east has been a hotbed for conflict since times immemorial it is likely that taking the Theocratic regime in Iran out of the equation is a net-positive when it comes to limiting the amount of conflict in the region. I intentionally do not use the word 'peace' because I do not see peace ever breaking out there given the historical record and the many sources of conflict.

#95This is astonishing. Our intelligence concluded Iran wasn’t moving towards a nuke and we hit them anyway, using peace negotiations as a ruse. No authorization from the representatives of the people who actually fight in the war, no thought of what this will do.
If the comparison with how we treat hostile forces with nuclear weapons wasn’t more stark. N. Korea is basically left alone, their leader praised. Libya gives up nukes and then the state falls in on itself.
This is proving to any state that nuclear arms are really the only protection. The world is less safe, and the next generation of young men like me (20 years ago) are about to be thrown into the meat grinder, sent by a ruling class that doesn’t even answer to the people anymore.
We’ve really lost our way.

Diplomatic options include returning to the JCPOA framework (the "Iran deal"), multilateral sanctions enforcement, or establishing a new verification regime with IAEA oversight.

If not to build a nuke, why have a secret uranium enrichment facility built over 250 ft under a mountain?
