Trump misuses US forces in Persian Gulf bid to incite a war polling bump

[Earl]

“State Sponsors of Terrorism" is a designation applied by the United States Department of State to countries which the Department alleges to have "repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism".[2][3] Inclusion on the list imposes strict unilateral sanctions.

The countries currently on the list are Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. There are also ongoing proposals to add Pakistan and Venezuela to the list.[4][5]

The State Department is required to maintain the list under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act, section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act.[3]

The list began on December 29, 1979, with Libya, Iraq, South Yemen, and Syria. Cuba was added to the list on March 1, 1982, and Iran on January 19, 1984. Later North Korea in 1988 and Sudan on August 12, 1993 were added. South Yemen was removed from the list in 1990, Iraq was removed twice in 1982 and 2004, Libya was removed in 2006, and Cuba was removed in 2015. North Korea was removed in 2008, but was re-added to the list again in 2017.[6] "

What is the purpose of US forces in the Persian Gulf area, if not to project US power, in the Leftgoofythink view?

Are you asking why Izrael wants them there ?

[dukkha]

I was concerned about our allies, getting out of Syria wasn’t the problem, I’m still for that, it was just the way in which we were going to do it.

lol..either we are in or out. there isn't any other "way to do it"

So sad, risking all our lives because his ego can't take his low approval ratings.

Aircraft carrier group brinkmanship near Iran to provoke Iran in hopes they will bite and Trump can bomb the shit out of them
which, in Trumpville, will make him a war hero.

he needs to start a war


so he can say don't impeach me while we are at war.


what if he starts a war and no one comes


No Americas sign up to fight it?

Nailed it.

Nailed it.

You are one of the most fucked in the head individuals on this board.

[Truth Detector]

I despise war. Understand the difference. 4 wars since I've been alive not ONE war was necessary. Commie dominoes x 2. Thousands dead of ours, millions of theirs.

You can thank JFK and LBJ for those. Most of our wars were started when the Party of the Jackass was in the White House.

2 for oil.

Now you are engaging in moronic bullshit. Let's see if you have any brains at all making such dullard claims; How much of our oil comes out of the ME?

How much of it comes from Iraq?

One WE 'had to bomb someone' and 18 fucking years later there is no end in sight. The other was an INVASION of pretense where we blew up a region that morphs, 'creeps', burns and KILLS 16 years later.

So that was all our fault and had nothing to do with the despots, tyrants and terrorists. We invited them to fly aircraft into buildings and should not have enforced sanctions on a tyrant who invaded a peaceful Muslim country right?

You dunces on the left love your revisionist bullshit don't you? Would you like to see who VOTED FOR those wars snowflake?

It's useless. Except for DEFENSE CONTRACTORS.

Yep, dullards on the left never learn from history and the FACT that we are not the ones STARTING the wars. We just finish them. Carry on you dishonest hack.
