True, but if you in any way involve American lives in an unwinnable war, it only fuels the Republican drumbeat that the world is going to hell under Biden and none of this would have happened under Trump (lacking a war, they will do the same with gas prices).  The far left sides with the underdog, as they typically do, but it's not like they're fans of Iran or fundamentalist Islam.

 

I mean, wouldn't it be weird if there wasn't an anti-war argument out there? 

 

There's not really a "pro-Hammy" crowd as you keep insisting, but there is a growing willingness across parties and interest groups to stop Netanyahu, question Israel's aims, and support relief for the Palestinians. You want to keep laying this at the feet of entitled college students blocking bridges, much like you view Kent State as a frat party gone sideways. Again, zero people who think peace in the Middle East is as simple as a cease fire, but it's the one thing that can save some lives and chaos right now.

 

The classic move here is a calculated show of force to counter Iran's calculated show of force, followed by the kind of diplomacy practiced by two sides that want to save face without escalation, creating a long boring process where vengeance loses steam and everyone is free to ignore the root of the problem.

 

If Biden handles this perfectly, the GOP can resume its outrage over student debt forgiveness.  

These are all solid takes!

I think so far JB is dealing with it perfectly.

Well, my pick of Rory stinks. 

I have 19 wagers going right now...None are on the current leader!  HAHA

Why would people in America be saying "death to America"?

Oh man, that takes me back.  I can still hear the sound that fat red bat made when you crushed a ball with it. Booom!  With the skinny yellow bat, you had to hit it perfectly to not foul tip it and it just made a quick little crack sound.

Then after one summer the big red ones would start to crack so you would tape it all up and still use it.  

Man I miss that s#!t.

There is a wiffle ball field near me.  Basically it is a baseball field but the fence is like 10 feet past the infield. 

I think they only use the yellow bats but I am not sure, I have never seen the league teams playing on it.  I think it is kind of a hispter/beer league  

I mean, she is right.

Joe is also in a tough spot with some of this, not so much Ukraine from what I can tell but with Israel, there is a lot of protesting with that one.

Amen!

Even the hardest anti death penalty person would have to agree, I hope.

Is that far from campus?  Anyone know?

This is the smart move right now.  

He is right.

I finally saw some stuff with this dork, he is one of those guys that goes to college campuses and tries to debate thing with college kids.  Soooooo lame

They should be executed .  

You would have to be a total nut to not think that.

If the U.S. helps escalate the war by attacking Iran, do you honestly think the blowback on Biden will come from the students? 

 

Can you think of anyone else who might advocate against U.S. troops engaging in a Middle East war? 

I did not say students.  I said nut-jobs.  

Joe doesn't need issues with Iran right now.  Anything that hurts his amount of votes is bad, in my opinion.

You mean the anonymous person in the anonymous anecdote under your pseudonym on a message board?

 

I don't know what most of the words mean but yes.

How so? Show your work, Teach. 

You don't want to be running for reelection and have a huge "anti-war" or anti-fighting rally going on while you are fighting or helping a fight.  It is bad for votes.

Wow, that is a lot.

I don't think that is accurate.

Prescient.  But everyone who knew Putin would continue to escalate his campaign of sowing conflict around saw it coming.  

 

 

But remember, the US also has a HUGE Pro-Pally and Pro-Hammy crowd.  

That is a HUGE problem.

Tell us more about this guest. What did they say? What "wrong wrong" made them asked not to come back.

Not here, feel free to DM/PM me if you want.  I don't want to make it bad for someone just in case more people know about it.

Right wingies want to paint war in the Middle East as Bad For Biden.

 

But if Orange Man Bad was in office, the narrative would be, "We can't change horses mid-stream!"

 

 

It is so true.

I think the longer JB can hold out with not really doing anything "super intense" the better.  

The narrative of "Yeah, they just hate each other" has been there for 2,000 years.  

My best guess, this will be a big deal for like 2-3 weeks.  Then it will not really be an issue.

Now, with that said, the only open market is Crypto s#!t and it is TANKING right now, which seems odd but whatever...in the end though, people hate losing money, so who knows what the reaction will be come Monday.

We don't have to go to war with them. We can continue to conduct remote strike again Iran and it's proxies if we do choose, but it would be better to just let Israel take care of it.

Oh I agree!  

But, sadly, our nut-jobs here in the states MIGHT start blocking bridges if we "help" Israel take care of Iran.

s#!t, there are people that think the bridge-blockers forced "peace"!

We just gotta wait 7-8 months, that is it.  Just make sure JB wins

Joe CAN'T go to war, not even any version of war, not at all.  The nut-jobs here in the US will ruin his reelection all for Instagram "likes".

Iran sucks, we know, but just wait, wait it out.
