Isn’t Trump’s entire nickname the “Peace President”? Regardless of merit he campaigned on not starting any wars and hasn’t stood by that.

So allowing a fascist Marxist regime with actual intentions to fire nuclear weapons when devloped at the U.S. and Europe is preferred? Situations change as you enter into a Presidency, you know that.Reguardless of a campaign promise in which he has tried very hard to negotiate with the insane regime that has exsisted since Jimmy Carters failure in 1979 and the regime taking and holding Amercians hostage for 444 days. The time has come to end this Evil insanity.

Fascist Marxist? You're kidding me right?

Ha. I know right?

Someone needs to go back and learn history… and ideologies… to learn what these terms mean. ;)

They are some of each as the Tudeh Party of Iran is an Iranian Marxist Leinist Party. There's a blend in Iran of more than you think.

Lol you mean the nuclear facilities that were supposed to be destroyed last year. You are being spoon-fed lies and are eating them up.

And I just bet you're young and naive enough to think Joe Biden ran this country for 4 years..LOL. Whatever Trump didn't get the first time, it's for sure gone now.
 
My thoughts in an nutshell...

The legality of Trump's strikes on Iran without Congressional approval is debatable at best. However, I have zero sympathy for the Iranian government.
I know it's usually wrong to celebrate someone's death, but I hope Khamenei's demise is the beginning of a truly representative government for the Iranian people. The airstrike on a girls' school isn't exactly a good look for the US and Israel - not communicating to Iranians that a US-backed government is a viable alternative to the current regime.
If the Iranian government does indeed collapse, I don't give a flying crap if its replacement is friendly to the US or not - as long as it represents the Iranian people in whole and respects their freedom, something that hasn't happened in nearly 50 years.

Odd that you bring up youth to insult others when you seem to have the same mental acuity as Joe Biden. Regardless of that, Joe Biden relied on other people as any president should because no one single person has all the best answers to every problem. That's something wisdom will teach you. That's something I look for in a leader, regardless of party or politics.

You do remember Trump pulled us out of the agreement we had with Iran to help curb/slow their nuclear ambitions right?
I'd wager you're convinced that was all bogus anyway, a bad deal - which to me is a fine enough opinion to have. Perhaps it could have been better but we are bombing them now instead. Who cares if Trump pulled us out of the deal, stoked the flames and flared tensions repeatedly, then acts on the tension as if things suddenly shifted overnight under his watch. Like you said, this has been going on for awhile so what changed? I'll tell you what changed, his mind.


Aside from that, I think the war powers resolution definitely needs some congressional action. The president obviously cannot declare war per the constitution as that power is confided in congress. The president can respond to emergencies and direct the military in such circumstances, but as we know "emergency" seems to be something so subjective to Trump that it can be almost anything if he considers it so.
I don't like the sway of power to the executive, particularly because we don't know who is going to be president in the future. Even an insane radical should realize the example set by Trump can give a Democrat or other party an absurd amount of authority if it is not challenged right now. Unfortunately there's too many people who don't care because they're on team Trump to imagine the ramifications, or they're so burned out on politics they don't share their voice or vote.
I'm not gonna get into the fine details of Iran right now, no way I could. I obviously want Iranians to be free from tyranny. I can see this ending up okay, and I can see it ending up being an absolute catastrophe with countless civilian casualties. Whatever got set in motion we will learn in the future.

This is what you took out of that whole post? Good grief man. It's not all about Biden and he clearly made that point.

Also your silly little ad hominem against me earlier notwithstanding, Trump and his cronies (particularly Elon with DOGE, Russell Vought, and Howard Lutnick) are the direct cause of research funding running out for my job at the end of July. No, that did not happen under Biden and it would not have happened under Kamala (or whoever else from the somewhat more sane Republican side) either. So you can shove this whataboutism where the sun don't shine, honestly.
