House Democrat warns of ‘boots-on-the-ground quagmire’ in Iran

His other 50,000 lies didnt matter, why should this one?

He’s got Vance out there saying “it’ll be over soon, I pwomise!, pinky swear!” Also said he was giving Iran 10 days before attacking the energy grid and looks like he went ahead and did that today anyways!

It's crazy how he completely flipped the script when he was elected, he never lied this much, i guess his like "it's my last term so gonna do wathever i want"

Sure but he’s not running again.

hell yeah, "we're winning" my ass. 2.5 years to go and never even think about him anymore

Damn i was underestimating the numbers. It's so sad our people are being sent there for HIS war

Euh, it’s called the Strait of Hormuz (تنگهٔ هرمز), not the straight. And it isn’t even (straight: bit of a curve actually). Sorry really not trying to be “sassy” but I cannot believe how many people (mostly Americans) cannot get this simple English word correct of quite a vital geographical element of this war. For me, English is not my native language, how hard can it be?

Establishment Democrats aren't completely against the war with Iran. They just want a say on which conduct is acceptable. They are also upset they weren't notified first.

Watches far right news outlets.

I am not blaming Democrats for Republican crimes. I am blaming Democrats for failing to forcefully respond in an organized way that makes the public aware of what is happening and mobilizes citizens in defense of the Constitution. Democrats are individually making responses or showing up at one-off events, but this is not going to cut it. The Nazis are disciplined, on message, organized and well funded. You don‘t counter that with off-the-cuff comments in the Capital hallway. And that is mostly what what we are getting.

No, they do not. But if everything and everyone is part of the conspiracy to destroy the Republic, then I guess there is nothing anyone can do except whine about it on Listnook. Cynicism is a great way to absolve yourself of any responsibility to actually get off your ass and do something to save America.

There is zero time to wait.

The islands also have cities on them. And mountains, caves, caverns, fortifications. They aren't sand dunes if that's what you think.

Ooh, everybody being sassy today 🤣

Why haven’t they? Despite the monumental damage the world economy and America’s standing in the region have taken??

Ah my first time! Never been called a bot before ;-) I am posting from Europe to be honest, just filling in for my Persian brothers who don't have time for this nonsense. But you, sir/madam, are a lost paper bag.

Ah great, so your gas has become cheaper then? Wait and see my friend. Last time Persia was invaded: by the Mongols (under Genghis Khan and successors), 1219 to 1258 (by your calendar; I will adapt as a sign of civility) Genghis Khan’s forces invaded the Khwarazmian Empire (which controlled much of Persia) in retaliation for the massacre of Mongol envoys and merchants. Cities like Bukhara, Samarkand, Nishapur, and Herat were devastated, with massive loss of life. Later campaigns under Hulagu Khan captured Baghdad (1258), ending the Abbasid Caliphate, and established the Ilkhanate (a Mongol successor state) in Persia. The invasions caused widespread destruction but were followed by cultural revival under Ilkhanid rule So… the USA didn’t even exist yet. Persia was never permanently erased as a cultural or political entity. Native Iranian dynasties (like the Parthians and Sasanians) often reasserted power after foreign rule weakened, and Persian language, administration, and identity frequently influenced or absorbed the conquerors (a phenomenon called “Persianization”). In more modern times (post-16th century), Persia/Iran faced pressures from empires like the Ottomans, Russians, and British, but these were typically wars, influence, or occupations rather than total conquest of the core Iranian heartland. در انتظار بنشین، ای دل صبور، و بنگر با ناز— زمان، آن حکیم خاموش، به زودی آشکار خواهد کرد که آیا گلِ روشن حقیقت بر سخنان تو می‌درخشد، یا زیر چرخش خویش به خاک می‌نشیند.
