When it comes to starting wars. I like advice from a guy that robbed medicare. A guy whose company paid 1.7 billion in fines for those crimes.
How is this criminal even in our government?
Rick Scott is the very definition of dumb ass you are not going into Iran like you're cleaning out USAID. Soldiers will, die a lot of them. I doubt Isreal wants any part of it as this is not easy, like killing civys in Gaza.
Is he stupid or what?
We don’t have to mess with Iran at all.
We tried in Iraq and failed.
Thousands of Americans died over lies. Leave them the fuck alone.
How many times did Trump have to threaten to nuke Iran while he was campaigning for President before people realized he was going to go to war with Iran if elected?
As Scott serves on both the Armed Services and the Foreign Relations committees, it would be of great service to him if someone advised him as to why it's not an achievable military objective to "destroy their ability to create a nuclear weapon."
Worth pointing out that Obama negotiated a deal with Iran that included inspections to verify that they weren't building nukes, and Trump threw it away in his first-term temper tantrum.
If U.S. troops end up dying in Iran, it's on Trump.
Oh yeah that won't loop back in the form of massive terrorism since we did so well in Afghanistan and Somalia. Between this & our incredible stance on GAZA we should see no terrorism at all.
If I was Iran, at this point there's noway i would ever give up nuclear weapons research. Just look at what we did to Ukraine after we told them they would be protected if they gave theirs up. Look at NK, they have theirs and we ain't fucked with them. They should protect themselves at this point
If only there was an agreement in place that restricted Iran’s ability to have nuclear weapons and which Iran was abiding by. Oh wait, we had that but Trump tore it up.
If only there had been some sort of durable international agreement to build off of that would’ve kept Iran from building a robust nuclear program and guaranteed more transparent monitoring of their capabilities.
Idk if that would’ve ever have been possible, too bad we didn’t try….oh wait….
Obama destroyed their nuclear capability, then Trump destroyed that agreement. We all remember. It's bad enough these cretins are so corrupt, but they have to insult our intelligence as well.
The only time a trump wants to hold a weapon is when they're hunting animals in complete safety and luxury. They dont know the meaning of public service or self sacrifice or duty
FOX…FOX…FOX.
Btw, how much did he take in from MC fraud? And now he’s a senator.
Hope we’re watching the bank accounts of these corrupt criminals as they tear our earned income away.
Yep. It’s about ONLY $$$. People are nothing more than pawns to make him and pals richer. It also sows chaos and will help him try for the rest of his life in office-avoids jail, payments due to his victims.
I am rendered speechless at the sheer audacity of this line of thought. It's like if the CIA decided to announce their plans on national television in full view of the public. I know the CIA wouldn't do that overtly because that'd be insane.
Focus Rick Scott. Trump has been in office two months and he ended our global leadership, alienated our allies, shattered alliances, decimated national intelligence, weakened national security, plunged our economy, ignored the law, and aligned with a murderous dictator.
Don't sleep on this threat of war with Iran. Evangelicals believe it's necessary for the 2nd coming & no doubt seeing the WH felon being in office as their chance to seize a moment which may not present itself again for a while.
Well, that's easy Rick... Republicans are notoriously great at doing the economy dirty... We've seen your stats in action. We know you will accomplish the mission! -ONE.!💥🔥💰🔥💥
Military strikes are usually the most controversial and risky option, which may not only lead to an escalation of regional tensions, but may also trigger a wider conflict.At the same time, economic sanctions, diplomatic negotiations and international cooperation are also common ways of responding.
If only there was some sort of agreement between the US and Iran that allowed IAEA inspectors to inspect their nuclear facilities to ensure they weren’t enriching uranium for use in nuclear weapons…
You are allready destroying your own economy so maybe thats enough this time… talk a bit peace with irans, if you are so fucking good shitpeacenegozieitors!
And they clearly have never looked at a map of the region. Had they done so, it might have dawned on them that Iran has 2 nuclear armed nations on its border, and two more very nearby. Gee, I wonder what is motivating them?
Nostrodamos (sp?) claimed it would be Israel who would destroy the world. If Netanyahu hadn't continued the war in GAZA so he could stay out of jail, Biden would be President, and we wouldn't be looking at war with everybody!
I'm wishing Canada had nukes right now. I don't blame Iran for wanting them, regime or no regime. Canada is the most peaceful country on Earth and Trump can't keep his hands off our p**sy.
Every country has the right to defend itself. When it’s surrounded by Pakistan w Nukes India w Nukes Israel w Nukes, you can’t expect any nation to not defend and protect itself. And Fcuk imperialism and bad bad bad foreign policies that backfire against USA always!
Maybe trump should have brought that up with putin today since russia is the number 1 purchaser of Iranian drones that he uses to bomb Ukrainians every night in their apartments, schools and hospitals.
Ya know what would have been a good idea...some kind of agreement...like one where we exchange incentives for their reduction in uranium enrichment...idk what ud call it..I'll throw out a hyppthetic name..what about a shirt abbreviation like jcpoa
I thought they had to reduce their uranium stockpiles by 98%, to make sure they couldn’t create nuclear bombs? Therefore these people are lying. There’s no reason to attack Iran

How about we find that solution instead of doing something that will just create the next generation of extreme lunatics

Carelessly talking about third world war.
Iran is a ally of Russia.

MAGA, changing hearts, changing minds ❤️

Step 2. Attack Iran
Step 3. Start nuclear war and declare martial law when the predictable tragedy occurs.
NO WAR WITH IRAN!!!
I didn't think so!
Iran has one of the largest and most developed air defense complexes on the planet.
Otherwise Israel would already have bombed them.

On a side note, we now command Israel’s armed forces?
“I’ll lead the way - go ahead!”

These idiots sure like to shift the goalposts around.
That would’ve been cool.
That'll teach 'em !
