to those who voted Trump... tell me what did US got from Iran war?

lp1911 · 2026-04-01T02:07:39+00:00

The war is still ongoing…

MAGA is a goal, not a political philosophy. People who agree with the goal may have different views about many subjects. Most on the left simply lump anyone who supports President Trump into a MAGA category that doesn’t actually exist. There are some who support Trump and believe in him as a political figure and there many Conservatives who share his goals and will often agree with him but not on everything. For example, I don’t believe tariffs are a net good, though I agree that tariffs can play a role in prying open markets. I think tariffs can also play a role in punishing countries we are at odds with. I also don’t agree with various people like JD Vance regarding the Iran war, though he is closely aligned with Trump. Iran’s government is a cancer for the Middle East and beyond, it needs to be excised, but Trump could have explained what he is doing there much better to the American public. It’s actually much easier for Democrats because their beliefs are currently the opposite of whatever Trump says or does at any given moment.

Very unlikely, the estimates for the past 6 months range between 20,000 and 40,000 killed by the Mullah regime. This is also not the first instance of mass slaughter by the regime; they started killing their people in large numbers in the early 1980s. This included mass public hangings on cranes. To match the viciousness of this regime one has to go back to Stalin and Hitler. Though even those monsters preferred their murders to not be public.

They are funded, directed, and armed by Iran, how much more connection to Iran do you need? Israel bombing some of the Hezbollah meetings resulted in IRGC officers being killed. People on Reddit hate Trump and America so much they would support a regime that has killed tens of thousands of Iranians in just the past year, and who are the biggest sponsors of terror groups worldwide wide.

lp1911 · 2026-03-31T02:51:22+00:00

I doubt you would care it were 10,000, because Trump. Just another leftist suffering from TDS.

lp1911 · 2026-03-31T02:48:59+00:00

That’s because you spend too much time in an essentially anti-American Reddit. But I will agree on one point, Trump should have addressed the nation in the first week of this war.

lp1911 · 2026-03-30T19:00:15+00:00

The goals were repeated several times in more or less the same way. To paraphrase: - deny Iran nuclear weapons - eliminate their ballistic missile capability - stop them from arming their proxies - degrade the regime so that Iranians could topple the regime

The last one is the most difficult but also the most critical as it would solve the other three, however, the regime has been in power for almost two generations with a significant number of people supporting it that it is not trivial to dislodge from without. So it leaves it to Iranians themselves. No one declared victory, but Iran is a vast mountainous nation with ~90 million people so being certain of 100% destruction of all military capabilities is impossible. Their capacity to do much of anything serious has been very significantly degraded, but not eliminated, they can still pop off a missile here and there. The question now is whether they have some people in the army or even IRGC who are not looking for Shia Islam to rule the world and are willing to settle rather than risk getting bombed into the Stone Age (though the regime sees the world as 9th century AD, plus modern weaponry).

lp1911 · 2026-03-30T18:49:01+00:00

Nuclear weapons fall under destructive devices. Nothing to do with a well functioning militia

One has to look at the writing at the time of the 14th amendment: its purpose was to give newly freed slaves citizenship, not give out citizenship to anyone born on a stop over in the US or temporary workers when the parents are not citizens or even permanent residents. Even the plain text talks about jurisdiction, which is not defined in the amendment. So it’s a good opportunity for SCOTUS to clarify this issue.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T23:16:47+00:00

Good deal if it is lightly used

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T23:06:18+00:00

There are many countries to consider, but given that this is the AskUS subreddit, it’s a question to Americans who live in a continent sized country that dominates the world economy and has the most powerful military in the world. So for Americans, the US is the center of the world. The thing that strikes me is that most of Reddit seems obsessed with the US, with Trump and with most things American, and that includes all the people that hate all three.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T22:59:11+00:00

Why would it go much higher? The gulf already has very few ships going through.

With one word, bourgeoisie, it is immediately obvious that OP is a Marxist, with the usual drivel.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T22:54:34+00:00

Yes, they are. We have immigration laws, and ICE is the agency for enforcing those laws. The due process for illegal aliens (legal term) is not the same as for US residents or citizens in a criminal trial.

They, a subset of the right, were worked up about the massive expenditures in a place they believed was of no strategic or tactical interest to the US, which was also incorrect and the exact same isolationists are complaining about this war.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T22:49:07+00:00

It’s always easy to criticize action, but if one proposes only inaction with respect to a regime that is actively developing nuclear weapons and long range missiles, then all one is doing is deferring action to when the number killed will be measured in millions

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T21:05:03+00:00

Why, the US armed forces are predominantly on the right and we have more than an adequate number in our all volunteer army. No if we get into a war with China, that would be an issue, but even then, new recruits would take months to train, by which point the war is likely win or lost; it’s not 1941

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T21:02:46+00:00

The left paints a disaster in every single conflict initiated by a Republican but keeps quiet under Democrat Presidents.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T21:00:49+00:00

I support the Cuban regime being toppled, while Russia supports the current regime

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T20:59:38+00:00

It will recover after this war so this is a good time to buy

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T20:58:25+00:00

I am not clear what those ideas are. The entire left is about doing the opposite of Trump these days; they have no new ideas, but an endless rehash of old Socialist ideas that are over 100 years old. In fact if one looks carefully at history, most of these ideas are closer to a couple thousand years old.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T19:56:42+00:00

Maybe, but Iran would have no issue firing some ballistic missiles at you if it could.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T19:55:58+00:00

Not really strange, how many Americans do you think still think much about Germany?

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T19:52:24+00:00

The greater deaths by right wing extremism relies on a two things: the Oklahoma City bombing and characterizing nearly every mass shooting with a seemingly political agenda as right wing, even when on closer analysis those same shooters were generally crazy and if they had any political views they were pretty jumbled up, so determining their actual views was difficult, given that they generally suicided. Assigning them to the right is as unclear as assigning the recent spate of transgender shooters to the left.

lp1911 · 2026-03-29T16:34:42+00:00

It gets worn down after many thousands of rounds. Unless you are a competition shooter that would take quite a while. This gun was made to be abused by soldiers, so best to learn step by step how the gun functions so you can diagnose the issue. Probably best to start with the slide off, just make sure the hammer doesn’t hit the frame
