    ...and then my 4 year old asked me, "Daddy, if this does escalate into another endless ground war, will I be drafted? I don't want to be drafted, Daddy! If I get drafted, I won't be able to donate marrow for cousin Susie's Osteosarcoma surgery! Daddy don't let me get drafted!"

    ...and then a guy in a MAGA hat pulled out a nailgun and killed all the POC on the bus, screaming "It's OK to be WHITE!" over and over.

    Too late. This has been our politics for a long time for both Parties. And you are just a bit player in the comedy.

    This is what you look like when you argue like a Democrat.

    And he has accomplished his purpose... thanks to Trump. By making him a martyr for absolutely no reason, they will be jumping over each other to avenge his death for ... decades. And sometimes they will fail, but other times they will succeed.

    Compare that to just having stayed in the Iran agreement, for example.

    Bottom line is clear: Trump has put the American lives, whch he was supposed to protect, in jeopardy. For the only reason that he wanted to draw attention away from his trial for the crimes he has committed.

    How is it damaged? They don't need a charismatic leader anymore. Now they all have a common enemy: us.

    Huh?

    Our allies are ordering us out! What do you think countries who are not our allies want?

    This thread topic is no different than the Adam Schiff fake parody he gave during the sham impeachment inquiry.

    They are both based on zero zilch nada evidence.

    I'll take your mental construct on.

    Why do you suddenly care when this terrorist was killed and not the hundreds before?

    Did you question the drone strikes on terrorists and the killing of terrorists like Bin Laden?

    No.

    Questioning the killing of terrorists is only done by the left now, and then only because Trump did it.

    As heard on CNN: "This was the right person to kill, but it was the wrong person to carry it out."

    A charismatic leader can unify and motivate disparate elements. They've always had a common enemy, duh. But they needed to have someone coordinate and motivate the various proxy forces. With luck, they will commence to intrigue among themselves.

    Myself, I hope we are indeed ordered out, and we go. Let the Muslims kill each other. It is cheaper and easier than us having to kill them.

    What were you driving at when you said:

    "Where did you get this weird idea that the only alternative was to commit an act of war that gives them the support of the majority of the M.E.?"

    ...but there must be some logical reason that you are still supporting him.

    I don't support him. I don't like him. However, if he does something I like, I will support that.

    That's exactly what killing him has accomplished.

    How many Americans should we allow him to kill before we respond?

    You are obviously unaware of Godwind's law. You would do well to brush up.

    On the other hand talking about the same subject with leftists is like but he just didn't think about the consequences:

    Me: But he prepositioned reaction forces before hand so he clearly did.
    They: but orange man Bad All the Muslim world will hate us now.

    Me: No likely just the Shia groups the rest, with good reason, hated Soleimanni as much as we did.

    They: Didn't you here me the first time? ORANGEMAN BAD!!!!

    How many Americans does KJU need to kill before we send him a drone?

    You completely keep missing the point. Do you really think Trump could care less about Americans getting killed? He cares... either about drawing attention away from his impeachment... or scoring a point with his wingnut base.

    To use your words. Who is KJU?
    Since Trump does not care about Americans getting killed and it does not appear that the democrats cares,, exactly who does care? It appears that our military is the pawns in this whole thing.

    Trump is a woosy and would only attack country he thinks he can win. He lack balls to do anything about China and Russia.

    Why? Isn't KJU relevant to your argument? Or is not your argument that we should attack those who kill Americans?

    KJU is very much alive, very much in power and very much still relevant.

    I have seen no indication whatsoever that the Democrats don't care. But you conceding my point that Trump doesn't is good enough in the scope of this discussion.

    Dude the only difference between today and a week ago is that they need to break in New coordinator and that job is no longer seen as a safe position for thuggish theocrats to coordinate mayhem from will make that coordination more difficult.
