Where are the TACO people now?

Remember fascism wins by convincing centrists it isn't serious while being dead serious.

Trying to work out how to distract from the fact it started from chuck trying to get trump to go hard on Iran

The guy isn't smart enough, or knowledgeable enough to come up with these thoughts on his own. This is all being fed to him.

Every single billionaire (ETA and techbro), regardless of age, and their children and grandchildren should be on the front lines.

Aren't they a little old for that?

Iran should have no intent to stop this war unless they are presented with security guarantees. Not doing so will set them back where they were in 2020.

Of course, normally a President that starts a war will be voted for again.

I hope so. Just let us know where they’ll be flying the flag draped coffins in so we can go spit on them.

I was told it wasn't a war because there are no boots on the ground

Unavoidable if you want to enforce regime change, but also a recipe for disaster. Iran is as mountainous as Afghanistan. Remember how that went? But Iran is richer and better equipped.

They also likely have detailed plans and supplies set up for exactly this sort of action. It will be less "teenager with an AK" and more competent, trained soldiers fighting to protect his homeland from invaders.
