USA Goes to War Against Iran
Time for a dedicated thread to the war.
How long will it last and what will be the probable outcome?
It's brilliant strategy. Next usa are going to blow up their own bases.
what are iran going to do about that?
So we didn't get a deal? It would be great if we did have a deal. Oh, wait! We did and trump tore it up.
The guy takes stupid to another level.
We are blockading the strait to prevent Iran from imposing a toll that only came about because we started a war. Unreal.

Let’s talk more about how the aggro trump supporters deserve grace and conversation in good faith on things they will never change their minds on to save their feelings, shall we?
So now that Trump has announced he is blocking the Persian Gulf I guess that means the US has all the cards now according to Luckbox logic.
Yeah I was thinking that yesterday when they sent those destroyers through. We're not there just to keep the Strait open. The US is also sending another carrier over there along with a few thousand more Marines. In the larger scheme of things, I guess that's probably a lesser evil than the civilian infrastructure targets, if it's binary in that sense.
Well, I guess in theory this puts pressure on China not to assist Iran drag out the war. They rely on free global trade as much as anyone for their economy to function.
It's not even the same sort of thing. Criticizing the behavior of countries. governments, corporations, politicians, powerful figures etc is an important part of politics.Endlessly attacking posters, ordinary individuals etc is a totally different thing. Some people like it and if it's allowed then go for. As long as it's not protected like in the bad old days then it's somewha
As exhaustingly pointless as this is I’m going to go ahead and address this
1. I don’t believe for a second you have convinced anyone to think different. If I were a hardcore maga posting on the politics subforum of an online poker forum and had a come to Jesus moment reading anything you said, I mean, ****ing lol me
2. The idea that mongo/luckbox/victor/blahblah/etc etc are owed good faith is the most arrogant and self-defeating notion I’ve ever heard. The worst thing you can do with the worst stances ever is legitimize them by treating them seriously and debating them in good faith. They aren’t looking to hear why they’re wrong, they’re only looking to drag you down with them and drag themselves up to you at the cost of you
I don’t apologize for a second for endlessly mocking them. I will never stop endlessly mocking them. I will endless continue endlessly mocking them. I will argue, easily, that my stance is far less corrosive than yours. Bringing people whose vile beliefs that they won’t ever consider changing to the forefront of discourse is quite literally the exact problem we face in this country
Congrats on abetting it
The fact you make so much stuff up to try to defend your position doesn't really help it.
and if you think you're doing good politics then I think you should carry on.
Address roco then. Whose hearts and minds have you changed, father theresa?
did i claim to have changed minds?
but be careful, if you stop making things up then you might have to start thinking

Cool. So when you said this
It's true people don't generally don't recall it. But people change dramatically over time despite it being unnoticed - maybe especially when it's unnoticed. Despite the fact change is one of the only constants people do tend to deny it because denying it is the only real defense for the behavior
You meant to say ‘but don’t call me on it cuz I never did’
Like, I understand why roco isn’t a fan of how insulting to ****ing morons I am of people cuz he’s a man of decency, but each individual instance I find myself less inclined to apologize to ****ing morons
Thanks for quoting me. As you can see I never made the claim that you made up.

I wasn't asking whether you personally had changed anyone's mind for the better. I was asking whether you could identify any poster whose beliefs you believe changed for the better as a result of participating in the forum.
I guess you could argue that Inso0's views changed somewhat for the better insofar as I actually believed him when he said that he would not vote for Trump if given another opportunity.
So yesterday's points were that the strait was international water and Iran was an outlaw.
Today, the strait is actually not international water but anyone trying to pass through it and reach international waters will be blocked?
So that makes the US an outlaw as well?
