Carter tried to rescue the hostages with Operation Eagle Claw but it failed to due a sandstorm in which a helicopter crashed into a transport aircraft.
It wasn’t as if he were sitting
n his hands this entire time.We also have to remember this was only 7 years after the end of the Viet Nam War and getting into another war wasn’t popular with the US citizens

I'm not in any way saying we should have boots on the ground right now. Containment is the name of the game and we can do that by supporting our friends and allies, thereby keeping our adversaries in a weaker position than they would be in otherwise.

Another aspect to that debaucle was the mission was micromanaged from the top and we did not have enough aircraft planned for the mission. One mechanical failure was enough to cause us to abort the mission. the crash happened after the abort was already called.
He tried to sit on his hands he was anti war which is ok, but public opinion over the hostage embarrassment forced him to act , he then tried to control the mission by limiting the mission to a degree that did not allow enough equipment to do the job. In hindsight i think its good we aborted because this mission was a suicide mission at best. We didnt have the capabilities to do this and could have easily lost the approximate 150 troops we were going to put at risk . We did not have any significant assets in the area for a rescue if this mission had gone bad.It wasn’t as if he were sitting
agreed , i do think the hostage situation over rode any anti war sentiments at the time. People will generally support a military action if its intent is to save americans.We also have to remember this was only 7 years after the end of the Viet Nam War and getting into another war wasn’t popular with the US citizens

as an early member of what was then the newly forming "rapid deployment force" I can tell you that we were still trying to figure out how to do this type of mission. We didnt have the long range helicopters we needed nor the helicopters to fly through desert sand storms and the mission was very high risk. This was a joint forces mission and there was a lot of military politics in the process that affected the planning. Despite five months of preparation for this mission the different branches were still learning how to work together in this type of mission.
of course it would

trump is owned by adelson i believe.
Sheldon Adelson died in 2021. And Trump is rich enough he doesn't have to be "owned" by anyone.
but he is owned by an adelson
And who would that be?
i forget the name its a she.
hes probably owned by a bunch of other people too, but thats just one i heard recently. i dont follow trump too closely we all know how the next 4 years or more could go.
You're talking about Sheldon's widow who also contributes to conservative politicians. Not the same as "owning." And nowhere near what Soros does for liberals.
liberals are owned too. since the 1980s or 1990s. thats why you got trump.
No, we got Trump because liberals were running the country into the ground.
because theyre owned. they ran it good for the rich!
