if the chips were done and the half that would, wouldn't want to fight for this disgusting country.

What a scumbag thing to say. God has given you a great deal through this country, but it is you who has succumbed to despondency, are prideful about constantly trashing this country, and are projecting your own loser mindset. Get lost, loser.

One thing is not to dunk on your own country because it's not inherently bad, only subverted but completely another is to call out sick wrongdoing the subversives are engaged in under the banner of said country. I think the Charles Lindbergh/America First of 1930's is the correct stance to have BUT don't join the military!

President Donald Trump is “weighing an initial limited military strike on Iran,” reported the Wall Street Journal on Thursday afternoon amid rampant speculation of an imminent U.S. attack.

The WSJ added that the “limited” strike would be used as an additional threat to force Iran “to meet his demands for a nuclear deal, a first step that would be designed to pressure Tehran into an agreement but fall short of a full-scale attack that could inspire a major retaliation.”

The WSJ’s Alexander Ward further explained what the “limited strike” scenario might look like. “The opening assault, which if authorized could come within days, would target a few military or government sites, people familiar with the matter said. If Iran still refused to comply with Trump’s directive to end its nuclear enrichment, the U.S. would respond with a broad campaign against regime facilities—potentially aimed at toppling the Tehran regime,” Ward reported.

The report signals that Trump may still not yet be prepared for a full-scale war with Iran over its nuclear program.

To be prepared first he needs to have the non-existent capability.

Only one thing is for certain. Nothing that comes out of Trump's mouth can be taken seriously.

There is zero chance of any sort of serious war with Iran (meaning a ground invasion). We will likely just see a bigger version of the previous "12 Day War". At most we could see a Venezuela-style deployment of Delta Force as part of an attempt to decapitate the regime. But such a plan would be very risky, and even if successful probably wouldn't have the intended effect, so it seems unlikely. So I expect us to just fire a bunch of missiles into Iran so that Trump can appease Netanyahu, then walk away and claim another victory (is anyone noticing a pattern here?). Escalation into WW3 benefits no one and so will not occur. China and Russia will help Iran as best they can but won't go to war for them.
