My father in law kept his clocks on daylight savings time year round.

The only time it was an issue was when we were scheduling to meet somewhere usually for dinner.

"is that 4 your time or our time"

You always had to make sure.

Zed,

You're just ranting now.

Sy,

"We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties."
-US Secretary of State Marco Rubio

That describes anticipating retaliation and acting pre-emptively. That's planning.

You may not like the plan, but you can't claim there wasn't one.

Truth,

The idea that there's no plan here is absurd.

I'm done for tonight.

Truth,

"THERE IS NO PLAN, THERE IS NO GOAL, THEY ARE WINGING IT"

You really believe a multi nation military operation just happened without extensive planning with set goals?

Truth,

Just because he hasn't provided a full disclosure to your satisfaction doesn't mean anything.

You're just assuming it does.

This is a concerted effort of more than one country who have their own objectives.

You're expecting too much.

In the middle of an unfolding conflict, the Commander in Chief isn't going to lay out every operational detail for the public.

Truth,

I'm not compelled to be pulled into your debate.

Just say what you believe.

Why did Trump attack Iran?

Truth,

And don't say something like a deflection from Epstein as if other countries are participating in that.

Actually, there are a number of incentives I can think of.

I doubt there is only one answer.

Truth,

Then explain what you think is the answer to your question.

Truth,

No.

I wouldn't begin to presume I understand global economics.

Truth,

What's for dinner?

Cow.

Truth,

"Bill what are the goals of this war?"

I suspect the truth has something to do with economic stability.

Shrimp,

Arifi dead already.

That was fast.

Truth,

I'm here...don't expect me to respond quickly

Zed,

"Merely of scale, BILL. Not substance."

Iran is a threat to their entire region and is on a mission to destroy Israel and the United States. Other Arab nations are even supporting US efforts.

Iran has deliberately slaughtered tens of thousands of protestors who disagree with the insanity of their leaders.

ICE has accidently killed people who put themselves in harms way of the police who are on a legitimate mission to arrest criminals.

You're f****** kidding me (or yourself) if you think this is just a matter of scale.

Pull your head out of your a** and wake up to reality.

Eff,

"That's not America's Problem any more than ICE killing Americans is Iran's Problem."

There's a world of difference in these scenarios.

If you aren't aware of that right now, there's no point in explaining.

You're oblivious off in your own little world.

Eff,

What I find odd is how little attention the thousands who've been massacred seem to get.

The conversation keeps circling back to "no war" and Trump, but rarely to the people who were slaughtered or put in prison and tortured by the Iranian leaders.

Eff,

"Khamenei was Divinely inspired in Shia Theology, the Living Messenger of Allah."

That may matter from a religious perspective.

Your point is well written...btw.

But what is your plan to deal with a regime that restricts inspections and continues advancing its program?

Religion doesn't change that reality.

Truth,

"SANCTIONS"

Sanctions are what you do after an agreement is broken.

They don't prevent it from being broken.

So what's your plan before that point?

Corky,

"So why are they so dangerous now?"

I don't know.

I don't attend classified meetings.

Do you?

Truth,

Inspections don't assure anything when access is denied.

The IAEA has been blocked before, including Varamin in 2020.

What's your plan when that happens again?

Truth,

"Enough about Christianity."

That's not an answer, it's a dodge.

Truth,

"Bill, seriously, you are incredibly stupid."

Drop the name calling and answer the question.

What's your plan when inspections stop?

Truth,

"We had a robust inspection program assuring Iran didn't get nukes you single celled organism"

We had inspections when they allowed them.

What's your plan when they don't?

Gal,

This isn't kool-aid...it's common sense based on their own stated objectives.
