The Real timschochet

As for the hostages, they’re probably dead. Hoping this isn’t true but realistically they’re not coming back.

We overreacted to 9/11 by invading Afghanistan and Iraq.

Stop with this.

Overall I remain pretty optimistic though. I think this is all gonna be OK.

I’m sure that was high in the Mullahs’ thoughts when they planned this attack:

Them for your son’s sake, and for the rest of the country, let’s hope that Biden can talk Netanyahu out of overreacting.

Sigh. If you guys have a specific criticism over something Biden did or did not do make it. But simply blaming him is childish (yet typical.)

Put away your Jew hatred for a moment and consider your own country and your family and children, please. We can’t stay out of it because too much of the world’s oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz and the world is still dependent on that. And FWIW I have condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza.

This is scarier than I thought. Iran’s response is still rehearsed and orchestrated but nobody expected them to launch this many drones and missiles. As much as Biden and Netanyahu can’t stand each other Biden has to calm him down here. If Israel retaliates by bombing Iran we won’t be able to stay out.

It’s a pretty dumb thing to be critical about IMO.

We support Israel. We encourage them to get rid of Netanyahu, negotiate through Qatar. We continue to support a two state solution and eventual peace with Iran. What else is there?

This isn’t exactly Pearl Harbor or 9/11. The drones are in the air, it takes hours to arrive, they will likely all be shot down.

You post a lot more than I do and your views are far more absurd than mine.

Interesting, public opinion seems to have changed on the hush money case. The public, minus the MAGA fans, appear to be taking this quite seriously: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-hush-money-charges-seen-serious-by-most-voters-reutersipsos-finds-2024-04-10/

Hezbollah, not Iran proper. And anyhow the rockets were meant to be detected and destroyed by Iron Dome. Again, carefully orchestrated and staged.

You answered your own question. Because we butted into them for decades. You break it you buy it. We are a big part of the reason that these countries are such a mess. But even if that were not the case, investment makes sense because look at the alternative. Poverty stricken countries sending millions of people in this direction to avoid starvation. Walls and better security and deportation might slow them down some, while costing us billions and forcing us to lose our identity as a great nation. But it won’t stop them. It won’t solve the problem.

Our job is to save America from your kind, and to save your asses as well, so that you can keep complaining and whining while we do all the heavy lifting. That’s OK though.

Not quite that simple. But we do need to look at some major investments.

Well to be fair, this was my attitude when I was 17.

Non thinking response.

Because we are a wealthy nation. Wealthy nations can sustain economic problems. Poverty stricken nations can’t. So basic. I can’t believe you even asked the question.

I don’t see it. I think Biden has been pretty good for America. But I get that many here will disagree and I can respect that; we can have a difference of opinion about that. But Donald Trump is a corrupt authoritarian incompetent buffoon, a criminal who belongs in prison, a bigot and xenophobe who plays to America’s worst instincts. It’s not even comparable.

So depressing. I just don’t get it. I can understand why a bigot or a moron or someone who doesn’t pay much attention would vote for Trump. You strike me as none of these. How could any rational, thinking, aware person do this?

It’s so ironic that I’m the one called unserious in this thread.

There is no climate cult. And the rest of your post is just as wrong.
