No More Scum

Firm Action Necessary to Deter Iranian Aggression and Secure US Interests

The US must take decisive action against Iranian aggression to protect shipping and American interests. Continuing negotiations with an unreliable adversary is a waste of time and shows weakness, and allies should support these necessary measures.

Deter Iranian Attacks

Strikes are a necessary response to Iranian attacks on vital commercial shipping lanes. Weakness only emboldens adversaries, jeopardizing global trade.

Unreliable Partner

Iran continues hostile actions, demonstrating they cannot be trusted in a ceasefire. Further negotiations are pointless when a party repeatedly violates agreements.

Allies Must Contribute

European NATO members must provide more support to the US in this conflict. They benefit from regional stability but do not contribute enough to achieving it.

De-escalate For Peace

Diplomacy Is Key; Avoid Escalation and Seek Peaceful Resolution

Escalating military actions risk wider conflict and undermine efforts toward peace. Diplomacy and continued negotiation are essential to de-escalate tensions, even with difficult partners, and allies' concerns should be respected.

Risk of Escalation

Military strikes risk spiraling into a broader war that no one wants. Diplomacy is the only way to genuinely resolve conflicts, not inflame them.

Maintain Negotiations

Even if difficult, talks are crucial to finding a peaceful resolution and preventing casualties. Abandoning diplomacy prematurely closes avenues for de-escalation.

Consult Allies

Allies in Europe are concerned about escalation, and their strategic interests should be considered. Unilateral action alienates partners needed for broad stability.
