I didn't see your post regarding 'threats', the verbal kind.
So now we're down to verbal comments, LMAO. So calling the U.S. the great Satan is acceptable, or merely political rhetoric?
How many times has China threatened the U.S. with war? More than NK!!
Both are rhetoric and NOT grounds for war.
In case you may have forgotten, the U.S. pressure on Iran have been financial, not military. We are not at war with Iran, are not threatening to go to war with them either.
We SHOULD have taught then a lesson, at the least, for supplying Iraqi insurgents with IEDs and the like. They are directly responsible for multiple U.S. deaths and casualties.
Don't like it? TOUGH!
You semantical dissections are what has plagued the Constitution as it stands now.
The mores of don't attack unless attacked has proven no longer valid. To wit, 9/11.
The fear of retaliation diminishes when confronted with an enemy that feels death will be a reward. Fear of consequence is now trumped by fear of pre-emption. No like attacks since the U.S. response.
We will keep the right of pre-emption thank you very much, oh biased one.

Won't lie, love Bernie and trump. Love anyone throwing a monkey wrench in the political works, not enough to vote for them. Don't really agree with much of what he says or anyone running for that matter. Think he would be an economic disaster for the country. Appreciate he is honest about his views though.
I can see the point being made, a bit of a stretch to me , more for sensentional and shock value than anything. It's politics though. We have our Nazis, racists, Mao and pol clones, Marxist, communist manifesto lovers, and so on. Just another label. It is what it is.
I should let your post speak for itself. It is a joke.
As no nation can be named, therefore, nothing can be done? Your delusional.
The left jumped on the bandwagon as fast it could after 9/11. They even bitched that the U.S. didn't move soon enough in Afghanistan.
When the dust settled, then the left started bailing. As far as 9/11 being a false flag, the why did the commission, largely left appointed lawyers, who'd dearly love to take down Bush, not 'expose' the false flag then??

Every war in history has some form of pre-emptive action, some initiator, be it declared or some military action.
