Well, I had posted a reply to someone and next thing I knew was many people responding to my reply. I’m still taking time to answer them all personally 💙💫
I answered no to your question if the US did the right thing by bombing the Iranian sites. I really don’t know, but answered no anyway, because what are the odds that this was the first time in 80 years that the US did the right thing militarily…
Hehehe It was a feeble fight on their part, but they did indeed. At least according to the movie 'Heartbreak Ridge', anyhow - that Eastwood classic is my depth of knowledge on the subject LOL
I'm pretty sure it was a good idea to bomb Iran. According to the people who said it was a good idea. What would Thomas Jefferson have to say about it? I would love to read his substack for sure.
It’s a definite no from me. As an Eastern European, I remain deeply suspicious of many of America’s global actions. To me, this recent move felt like a showy gesture with little substance—bravado rather than meaningful impact. What continues to astonish me is just how often the U.S. has interfered in the affairs of other nations. If we take a metaphorical walk down the historical timeline, the sheer number of times America has acted as the aggressor is staggering—possibly more than any other nation. And yet, public support for these interventions seems to persist. I find that incredibly difficult to understand
I don't even know how to answer the poll. Everything seems so...fake.
"Ok, we're penciling in a bombing of your nuclear facilities on Friday."
"Fine, fine. Then I'll schedule a retaliatory strike on a couple of your military bases on Saturday or Sunday. Does that sound alright with you?"
"Sure. Looks good. Call my assistant if something comes up. Talk to you later."
"Good talking to you, too. Buh bye."
LOL That is an EXCELLENT summation, and while a fictionalized dialogue? According to reports, it's pretty danged accurate.
Seriously though, if they are trying to build faith and confidence in governmental systems, 'scripting' a war? Yeah, that's not the way to go...
But how many people realize it's scripted?
Not enough, my friend. Not... e... nough.... :-\
I’ll need to save this for later, Stone. I’ve got something to do right now.
Thanks, Joyce - I hope your task is going well :-)

That.... is an outstanding point! :-) And really, can anyone name a time when we did not make a complete mess of things?
Maybe... Grenada? A conflict most people have forgotten, unless they are Clint Eastwood fans.
So yeah... you are definitely on to something!
I forgot about Granada. Did they even fight back? Bluto vs. Olive Oil?

There is always more to war than meets the eye...
