I'm not sure if the US bombing Iran at this time was the correct call or not.  I believe that only time will tell how effective the strikes were and what the repercussions may be.

Wrong again, OSH. Future events will not determine whether Trump made the right decision in bombing Iran's nuclear facilities. 

Let's assume that the bombings only set back Iran's nuclear program by a couple of years and a Democrat wins the White House in 2028. U.S. money then resumes flowing to Iran and terrorists groups through NGOs and USAID, Iran gives a nuke or two to one of its proxies, and a few hundred thousand U.S. citizens die as a result.

Trump's decision would still have given those future victims two additional years of life and their blood would be on the hands of those who succeeded Trump.

Trump made the right decision, no matter what the future brings

Trump has already turned the money spigot back on to Iran by giving the green light for Iran to sell oil to China, so I guess we won't have to wait on the Democrats.  This is a little mind boggling to me.

Yet you never uttered a word about it when Obama or Biden did it…..

Sure I did, you just didn't hear it.   Members of Trump's cabinet seem to also be perplexed by his statement though.  Hopefully he has a valid, well thought out plan.

I have a hard time understanding people justifying someone's actions by saying that someone else did the same thing previously, even though that didn't agree with it before.  It seems to me that if it was wrong then, then it's wrong now.   Politicians seem to do this all of the time though.  

So to look at it a different way, I guess you are saying that Obama and Biden were in the right as well.

Wrong again, OSH. In the cases of Obama and Biden, there was no credible threat of force. Diplomacy in the absence of a credible threat of force amounted to nothing more than appeasement.

The justification to allow Iran to ship oil to China in Trump's case is that Iran knows that if they continue to wage war through terrorist proxies, Trump and/or Israel will hold Iran accountable for attacks on Israel or the U.S. Holding them accountable does not involve whining to Iran's friends at the U.N.

If Trump does not allow the oil shipments, then Iran would have nothing much to lose by sinking some old ships in the Gulf of Hormuz to block all oil shipments. We could clear the wreckage and sweep the mines from the Gulf, but it would be time consuming and expensive. Trump's strategy will keep oil prices low and also avoid decimating the economies of both Iran and China, and should prevent a recession in this country. 

You should stick to copying and posting other people's opinions. You are good at making false equivalencies but that is not a good thing.
