Years before Hitler came to power, he wrote about getting rid of the jews. Then he did. We’ve had Iran chanting “Death to America” for forty seven years, They’re refining uranium to weapon’s grade and developing delivery systems. If we didn’t attack them they would very soon have been able to back up their words with actions, so I think the US’s actions are appropriate

Agree, though it would be good if Trump were more clear on that objective. He eventually got there, but the path was a wandering one.

Yep, I think much of the time Trump fails to explain the important details, or capitalize on the opportunity ongoing developments in the operations against Iran give him to coherently give us perspective on the situation

Depends. I’d first want answers to a few questions: What's the imminent threat? Were diplomacy and deterrence exhausted? What's the endgame? Seemed a bit of a mess.
