    Leave Iran alone, and don’t talk to them.

    That’ll show 'em!

      He would be in charge for as long as it takes for the first person to get in arms or bullet length of him. A light punishment with huge upside for both parties.

      They say that a good compromise is when both parties are dissatisfied. I feel like this is one of those “exception to the rule” situations.

    Witness the peak of meritocracy…

    simpsons meme - we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas, changed to we've tried issuing ultimatums and tacos - with hegseth and trump's faces superimposed.

    “Creative and Unconventional” Stop the war, the unnecessary killing of citizens and keeping the fuel prices up. Stop talking to Netanhayu and helping him out.

    Ohhh… to “punish” Iran… For what exactly?

    Is that relevant to the punishment or is it just arbitrary?

    They apparently like war, and that’s why they allegedly want a nuclear weapon. So don’t engage with them. That will really piss them off.

      Maybe try again from a different angle? If that doesn’t work, maybe a children’s hospital?

    I suspect the military is looking for something that will distract Trump from launching nukes.

    I wish the troops would concentrate more on disobeying unlawful orders.
