We are all defined by the choices we make.
President Trump has chosen to abandon America First and involve us in a war in the Middle East. Right now, they are arguing over how much destruction they did to Iran. Whether or not the nuclear capacity was destroyed. The military and Trump say that it was "Obliterated." The lying media said it was not based on leaks from the Deep State. What's true? Who knows.
Just now that it was leaked to justify more war. More money for Cheney and Eye Patch McCain. More war. More Death.
Will Trump make the right choices?
Now I have my doubts.

Maybe you know of someone better suited to serve as our president and make the hard choices that suit your idea and ideal of what works best from your point of view. At this time in our country's history, Trump fits my category of "good enough"--as I see him as someone with good faith intentions and enough skills and lived experience to do a credible job of managing the incredibly difficult if not impossible job of leading and protecting our nation while reaching out to the other nations of the world, in keeping with his ideal of peace and prosperity.
The notion that he has chosen to abandon (abandon???) his focus on America First comes through as more All or Nothing thinking with a dose of Mindreading in the mix. It's not in keeping with Trump's character or the amount of resolve he revealed during his last four years of organizing, campaigning (and surviving) prior to this election.
Go ahead and have your doubts with regard to this President's ability to steer the ship in the direction you want to go, if that's what keeps your own boat of ideals afloat. Right now, outcomes are up in the air, and no one is in complete control of this situation as it continues to unfold.
Old saying, the perfect is the enemy of the good.
I don't. Right now, it looks like Trump did what needed to be done
The issue is whether the whole "The Joos" thing is real. I see a lot of Conservative blogs using it as a blind to let their proprietors blame anything they don't like on what George Orwell called The Other. Some may use another Other, but it's the same principle.
Situation is fluid, the FOG of propaganda is thick on all sides Liberal and otherwise. I think it's crazy for a RICH MAN to take on a DANGEROUS as in JFK vs CIA-AIPAC Dangerous job when he COULD have taken his pocket money and bought an island in the Carribean and lived a much less exciting lifestyle.

Read the whole thing. JFK was trying to get AIPAC registered as foreign influence.
In May 1963, the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations opened an investigation into the covert activities of foreign agents on U.S. soil, focusing in particular on the American Zionist Council and the Jewish Agency for Israel. [1] The investigation was prompted by a report from the Chairman of that standing Committee, Senator J. William Fulbright, written in March 1961 (declassified in 2010), stating: "In recent years there has been an increasing number of incidents involving attempts by foreign governments, or their agents, to influence the conduct of American foreign policy by techniques outside normal diplomatic channels." By covert activities, including "within the United States and elsewhere," Fulbright was referring to the 1953 "Lavon Affair" [2], where a group of Egyptian Jews was recruited by Israel to carry out bomb attacks against British targets, which were to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood so as to discredit Nasser in the eyes of the British and Americans.
I fear Trump is getting BAD INFORMATION to work in accordance with what fills the pockets of AIPAC politicians.
America has NEVER UNDERSTOOD Persians. They are NOT ARABS.
You can buy off the pride of Jews and Arabs. Serious offences against Persians is a blood feud.
Proverbs 21:14 and others speak to this: BTW Proverbs is IN the Torah.
New International Version
A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.
I suggest you do what you can to protect your family as bad times economically and socially are inbound. No amount of political fussing will feed nor shelter them for you.
"Will Trump make the right choices?"
Could Trump be blackmailed? He's undoubtedly fearless concerning his own safety but he does have a family that he loves and would seem to be at much greater risk than the families of Biden, Obama and Bush given the world Trump has inherited.
Goiod point about the Persians. They, unlike the A-rabs, are tough fighters.
It's not like Iran hasn't been at war with us since Carter and the French got rid of the Shah.
Trump is the first president since Khomeini took over that was really serious about stopping Iran as both a nuclear weapons creator and as a terrorist supporter.
You know Beans that despite having nuclear reactors for 58 years counting the first one that Eisenhower supplied them (you could look it up) those TERRORISTS haven't used a dirty bomb in the last 58 Years. You know explosives a timer and spent nuclear fuel or such.
Also, despite the US INSTALLING the Shah SNIP
The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, came to power in 1925 after being elected by the Iranian parliament, acting as a constituent assembly. His father, Reza Shah Pahlavi, was forced to abdicate after the Anglo-Soviet invasion during World War II. The American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) developed a secret plan to overthrow the then-democratically-elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, and put the Shah in control of Iran in August 1953.
So British Petroleum could make more PROFIT (yes I looked that up also) than with the previous ELECTED by Iranians government. (Again you COULD LOOK IT UP Beans).
AND Every "TERRORIST" Act was within the area of our Greatest Ally (spit, USS Liberty) and none outside the Middle East.
Like a Terrorist that cannot go to the "Great Satan" America to DO TERRORISM?
BTW F-Joe Biden and "Death to America" are the same sort of thing. Unless dear Beans really wanted to have sex with Biden?
Weird Terrorist.
Maybe a fair bit of what you know MIGHT Need some Reseach dear Beans. I remember AF Sarg telling you to look some of your "facts" you posted at his site.
BTW Israel NEEDED a Face Saving OFF RAMP for their little war.

The American Bombing AND the Iranian "Response" was PURE Kabuki Theater. No Iranian Anti-Air was used during OUR Bombing Run. No casualties on the American Base (AGAIN Base there to PROTECT Israel) occurred.
No real damage to Iran's nuclear capacity.
Maybe next time Israel gets frisky we'll wash our hands and let Iran finish them off and let God Protect His "Chosen Ones".
For idiots that didn't read the bible and KNOW God ALLOWED the Hebrews many a trip into defeat, slavery and restoration after they repented of worshipping other gods.
I don't want Iran to wipe out Israel. Or Israel to wipe out Iran, for that matter. I just don't want us to get involved in this bullshit anymore. Maybe it would be a good thing for Iran to get nukes. Most of the countries of the world will be attempting to get the bomb. That is the only way to protect your country. You can't rely on the word of the United States. We lie all the time. We never live up to our commitments. We run wars to make money, and when we get tired, we walk away and leave the wogs to clean it up. We should skip that step and worry about America first.
What is the mechanism that will prompt the "we" who lie all the time, never live up to commitiments, and walk away leaving others to clean up, to begin worring about America first? What's going to make them change their tune and their ways?
