Do (Most) Americans really want War with Iran?

[Joe]

...I don't think they do.

I get the feeling it's a distinct minority that do.

Primarily hardcore MAGA supporters.

So maybe 20, possibly 25% actually want their country, the United States, to make war and bomb Iran?

What's the feeling in the US?

Comments welcome.

I’m not a fan of the religion based government, it’s what the founders found troubling in government.

I am not in favor of war in general and am not convinced this war is justified

 

[Reggie_Essent]

i never want war, but then I am one of the very few Americans who believe that we are a Republic and not an Empire and that our military assets should have been returned to our shores decades ago. There's no reason for the American taxpayer to be funding a military footprint in over 130 countries around the globe.

That being said, Islamism is an existential threat to Western Civilization and if Jihadis get their hands on nukes, they will not hesitate to use them. The Iranian Mullahs are Jihadis. They cannot get nukes.

I think war is a terrible idea. I think MAGA is going to fuck this up, Bigly.

They don't have the first clue what they're doing.

The Bagwan should know he had a massive ranch for several years in Eastern Oregon, populated with trust fund followers from around the world, he had over a hundred Rolls Royce’s on the ranch before his followers went nuts and the ranch folded.

I really don't know much about the guy, but what he said there is hard to deny these days

When they first moved to the state they were an interesting addition to the area, but they soon started getting creepy and dangerous. They bussed in homeless people to vote in a local election, and in the days before the election they spread flu germs at a local buffet to keep locals from voting while trying to take over local government, they plotted to kill the AG of Oregon, the sane members of the cult had been leaving for a while, the Bagwan left in the middle of the night the commune soon fizzled out after that.

What would you do, Lily? Renew Obama's deal (not a ratified treaty) and send more billions to Tehran like Barry did?

That's white Libtards for you. That's why they're Democrats.

No, I don't think anyone supports this.

Thing is @Reggie_Essent even it was still the Shah or a Democratic government in power Iran wants and has always wanted nukes.

The Shah wanted them too. I remember that a Republican President Gerald Ford was concerned about this.

So if it isn't the mullahs itd be somebody else the US would have to contend with

What happened after the Islamacists took over is they started to increase their nuclear aspirations they inherited from the Shah who got Nuclear reactors in Iran when they were friendly with the US

Americans being evacuated from Israel etc

Period.

it’s like watching a battered girlfriend get punched in the face while she screams at the cops I love him…

SMH

If I were a.leader I would work towards disarmament of nuclear weapons. Verified and confirmed disarmament.

They are a threat because they perceive us as a threat to their regimes.

We haven't done anything but feed that perception. They see nukes as they only way to maintain their power.

Look what hapoened to Ukraine after they gave up theirs.

 

[Bonesaw's Bionic Eye]

I don’t know any normal people who want this. Even Trump's donors are putting their feet down.

But watch Reggie_Transparent spin out, reach waaaaaaay into the bag and bring up Obama like the topic-dodging fuckwit he is.

You can’t get rid of nukes…

This is the basis of the Cold War now turned Ukraine v Russia.

The biggest issue we have now is no one remembers what we are fighting for or against.

I agree it's virtually impossible at this point in time.

We're still mostly savages

I think that the working class has been leveled into the era of Upton Sinclare’s The Jungle:

I’m here to remind everyone of the government corruption that resulted in 2 adult parents working 12+ hours per day just to barely stay alive with a 9 month old baby screaming itself to sleep because no one has the energy to cope.

I think I'm so educated
And I'm so civilized
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
And with the over population
And inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman

I'm an apeman
I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a king-kong man
I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm an apeman

'Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an apeman
Laa la la la la la la
In man's evolution
He's created the city
And the motor traffic rumble
But give me half a chance
And I'd be taking off my clothes
And living in the jungle

'Cause the only time that I feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
Oh what a life of luxury
To be like an apeman

I'm an apeman
I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman

 

[Courier 6]

War? No. 'War' is where two sides slug it out on a more or less even footing.

I don't want war.

Bomb those cocksuckers back to the fucking stone-age. No war. No fight. No fair chance given. Just fucking annihilate them. Pound the mullahs so hard into the fucking dirt that they're kissing bedrock, then nuke them, then salt the earth, then stare down Pakistan and Lebanon and Iraq and tell them, "Say one stupid fucking thing, just one. You called us 'The Great Satan'. You assigned the role, we're just living up to it."

 

[Murdy]

everyone who votes Republican votes for war

Duh

 

[Murdy]

The Republican Party has initiated 3/4 of the wars in Iran for the past century.

 

[Frood]

everyone who votes Republican votes for war

Duh

Except when they vote for Bill Clinton and Obama...then they're voting for peace by sortie's, drone strikes, assassinations, and sabre rattling.

We came, we saw, he died.....

What parallel universe do you live in where that's remotely true?

I mean, for fuck's sake, look at @Jack 's posts in this thread: Do you think, for one moment, that Jack is a Republican?!

Since 1979, Iran has initiated 3/4 of the aggression against Iran, because Iran has been the aggressor who keeps acting fucking stupid and getting its shit pushed in in response.

You say this...

And then.....

They are a threat because they perceive us as a threat to their regimes.

You go on to explain why it is not possible.

We haven't done anything but feed that perception. They see nukes as they only way to maintain their power.

The only thing that would satisfy them is for Islam and Sharia Law to be established in The West.

Look what hapoened to Ukraine after they gave up theirs.

Ukraine did not have access to actually use the USSR nukes. Moscow controlled those nukes.


Regardless, you gave a bad answer to the question that you were asked. You gave no solution.

The level of ignorance in this thread might set a new record.
