StinksMcNulty : I don't like the way he talks, and I've said it many, many times. But, saying it would be worth it to lose those cities makes no sense in context...losing those cities would do nothing to win the war.
Joe : Agree. But he's too stupid to know that.
StinksMcNulty : Y'all might even like him, and the things he's accomplished, if he would just keep his mouth shut!!🤐

justanirishgirl : Other way around for me, I could put up with his mouth if he had actually accomplished anything good.
justanirishgirl : Y'all might even like him, and the things he's accomplished, if he would just keep his mouth shut!!
justanirishgirl : No. Hardly.

Joe : In trump's defense? No president should talk that way.
sebastian2 : I agree, I say all the time how I hate how Trump talks. But I think it's also important to be clear about what he actually said, and not make wrong conclusions. Just because I don't like the guy, doesn't mean I shouldn't try to accurately interpret what he's said.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Not all of them. Right as Trump says, "Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego," you hear shouts of "Yeah!!" in the background, and that's also when the clapping starts...it tribalistic anti-California garbage, IMO, from a lot of the crowd.
Joe : Well, I don't agree with you and that's okay. We don't have to agree!
TEXASGIRLMAMMA : When we can disagree civilly, it is a good thing.
Joe : I don't understand American's understanding of the rules of war. I can attack and kill at will but you can't even threaten to do the same. Of course Iran threatens Trump. He killed all their leadership and brags about it. Russia fell into that trap. Ukraine is now striking within Russia. Support for the 2 week war that started years ago is not what it was at the onset. Trump and Putin say it is not right to do an eye for an eye.
I do not advocate for violence on us but am not unaware that a fight is a fight.
All to prevent what was not happening in either war. Iran was not in a position to build nukes, Ukraine had no designs on conquering Russia.

Trump suggests letting Iran 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign event How utterly irresponsible. www.facebook.com/sha re/r/19ai1wdF3d/ President Donald Trump suggested letting Iran attack Los Angeles and San Diego while speaking at a midterm campaign event in Nebraska on Monday, sparking outrage from California political leaders. When speaking about the ongoing war with Iran, Trump said the economic impact of the war is a "small price to pay." "And again, remember, with the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe," Trump said to the crowd. Then, he pivoted, seeming to imply that Iran would have been capable of taking out a U.S. city if it had been allowed to pursue its nuclear weapons program. He then went on to say the country should take aim at Los Angeles and San Diego. "They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego," Trump said to applause from the crowd. "This is a very small price to pay, and it's going to be over with very soon. It's essentially almost over with."

justanirishgirl : Finish? Iran, like Ukraine, Viet Nam and some others is unlikely to surrender. To finish them will be to anihilate them. Nukes and other mass killing means will be necessary. Iran now controls Iraq.
TXLobo : The most likely large cities in the US that Iran would target if they had the opportunity are Los Angeles, San Diego, and NYC. Trump was making the point they do not have the nuclear power to attack us because of our efforts against them. From AI: Search Assist The closest large U.S. cities to Iran are Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco, with distances of approximately 12,187 km, 9,879 km, and 11,800 km respectively. geodatos.net Closest Large U.S. Cities to Iran The following table lists the closest large cities in the United States to Iran, along with their approximate distances: City Distance from Iran (km) New York City 9,879 San Francisco 11,800 Los Angeles 12,187 These cities represent the nearest major urban areas in the U.S. to Iran, making them significant points of reference for distance.
TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Los Angeles and San Fracisco are the closest US targets to Iran?? That's news to me, considering Iran is East of us, and those cities are located on the west coast. Please share your prompt.
