Why this sudden uber focus upon this airstrike
which targeted one person during an undeclared war,
and is being piggy-backed upon Catholic Just War Teachings?

It’s but a drop in the ocean … of all killings by all militaries…

Because this is the most recent. Other actions were considered when they were recent.
 
“most recent action of military killing in the world” ?

It’s not… by any stretch of the imagination.

It’s what the Secular Media is FOCUSSING upon.

There’s been 1000’s of larger killing actions over the past 10 years

Who’s doing the ‘considerations’ ?

Tell us more about those 'considerations"?

Time will tell if this will lessen violence, or increase it, or even possible be a precursor to war. I only know historically such actions have increased tensions and violence, and started one world-wide war.

I do not believe that to be true, except as it serves his own needs. I know this is just an opinion, but so is your statement.
 
Practically just proved my point. Look how long that post is detailing the anti Trump hate.
 
Again you just proved my point that Dems hate Trump more than Iran. Thanks

I work in the aerospace industry. The point is that Trump’s hardline on trade has repercussions. The issue with Boeing (and it is real) is that now China has a big stick that they will use in negotiations. Boeing is paying the price for Trump’s hardline trade. China and Europe are far more critical of certifying Boeing’s changes now based on Trump’s policies. This is a well-know result of Trump’s trade policies - we have no allies now.

I dont work in the aerospace industry. But I use to support Boeing employees IT issues. Boeing problem right now is the 737max. Beoing should have never place the mcast into the Max and just set up a training program for pilots to fly the Max.
 
I dont know how much more there is too it. But I listened to this guy and he seems to make several good points. Will the MAX fly again?! - YouTube

China has been abusing trade deals with the US for decades. Trump is trying to stop all those bad practices that china has been involved with in the past. The facts are as a whole american are in better shape today than in the past 50 years. If we cherry pick industries then yes you are going to find issues in which Trump being hard nosed is causing issue. but over all it has been great for americans.

I don’t think we are arguing the exact same point. Consider a child being bullied at school. He decides to hit the bully with a baseball bat.
The child gets suspended, loses friends because of his violence, and now is himself considered a bully.

Sure, is the kid better off that the bully is now gone? yes. But is he really better off? Would you now say the relationship with the bully is better?
No one is saying China is not at fault here. But is Trump resolving it the right way?

or

Consider a child being bullied at school. He decides to hit the bully and gives him a bloody nose
His friends admire him because he stood up to violence, and now is himself considered a guy that will do the right thing!
 
You’re very mistaken. Detailing facts about Trump’s misconduct is not anti-Trump hate. . . .

Looking at the Global-Wide comments … one would be extremely hard pressed to arrive at the conclusion that this action is a gesture of Peace.

The main guy killed symbolized the Military Strenght of a nation who’s now gone onto indicating 3 dozen sites including Haifa, Israel… which moved to the top of their Response Plate…

Point is… No one denies that Iran could unleash a world of hurt
and that some other nations want the existence of Iran for their own Security of Existing.

Other nations are riled…

WWIII? or just Armaggeddon … At least one of those is Scripted as a Going to Occur

That’s not the point. There hasn’t really been a sustained decrease in violence in the Middle East since 2001. If nothing is done to stop Iranian influence in the Middle East then we’re simply taking Chamberlain’s “peace in our time” route. We aren’t going to withdraw from the Middle East so that the entire region, except maybe Saudi Arabia, can be divided up between the Russians and the Iranians.
