Thank god we're kicking 5 million people off of their health insurance in 2027, otherwise we would not be able to afford all of these bombs.


There was a clip of one of Iran's missiles dodging 3 Patriot interceptors to hit the US base in Bahrain. I realized I just watched $12m wasted for nothing in less than 5 seconds.


That's your money that's being Squandered yet you have no say in the decision to wage this war, nor your representative.


There was an election in 2024.


Between those currently in power, and those whose current leader (as senator minority leader).. is a known cheerleader of wars with Iran.


Wait are you saying Schumer was going to make Harris invade Iran?


This is the kind of brainrot that lets people like Trump get into power in the first place. Removing all agency from the American people by pretending that "both sides are the same". It's just pathetic.

You have built yourself a safe little cocoon, protected from the messy imperfect reality of the world, where sometimes you have to make compromises and you don't always get what you want.


So ? People didn't vote to spend billions on Israel wars.

Trump said he was against wars, that 2003 Irak war was a mistake, yet he's once again trying to make another country change government by dropping bombs on them.

Polls show that a majority of Americans are against that war.

What more do you want to understand that Americans didnt vote for it and are against it.


That's no excuse.

And if a choice between 2 people that have been thoroughly vetted by elites is your definition of democracy, you have a sad sad view of what's possible.


Sorry, how are free and fair elections not democracy?


These people are here to either sow dissent between American citizens and the American government, or have been influenced by those whose goal is to sow dissent between American citizens and the American government. Qatar can not take on the US with military power, so they use soft power and "influencers".


Say one thing, get elected, do the opposite.


Don't worry, Chuck Schumer has asked Trump for an explanation for why he's conducting new wars.


> There was a clip of one of Iran's missiles dodging 3 Patriot interceptors to hit the US base in Bahrain.

Link?



It looks like the interceptors hit it, but missile was only damaged and not destroyed.

No one's a perfect shot: the misses aren't waste, because some misses should be expected.


They're wasted because none of this had to happen.


They are not supposed to intercept ballistic missiles anyway,it's THAAD's job
