You don't need to chase them down every hole, you just need to make sure that whatever is in that hole doesn't come back out.
America is not impeded by gophers, America is sailing past them at sea and falling past them in orbit.

America is above and beyond the golf course, there's no reason to go back down there and shoot gophers.

Gophers can destroy infrastructure, root systems, etc. The tree of Liberty is looking mighty thirsty as of late... I wonder why?

The threat is the Democrat Party, not Iran.

The gophers are the speech banning, gun grabbing pseudo commies at home.

For example Red Flag laws, that's a strategic threat to American freedom.

The threat is from within; the internationalist left infiltrating by way of the Democrat traitors to the republic.

The Democrats want Trump to overreach

They want him to launch into a military adventure to bring himself down.

So far he is bobbing and weaving and ducking them.

They are both an issue, the DNC is a enemy from within, Iran from without, without Iran a good portion of the Middle East gets in line and acts civilly.

Who cares about the Middle East?

It's not really America's problem.

The ME is all about the Carter Doctrine from 1980.

It's a zombie mission which no longer serves America's interests.

If they light each other up over the Persian Gulf, that will be profitable for a now oil exporting America.

Iran is Saudi Arabia's problem, but Saudi Arabia is not actually an imperative to America anymore.

In fact, America is competing with Saudi Arabia in the oil market, let the Saudis blow themselves up; cha-ching.

And any military adventure right now is a trap.

That's a trap laid for Trump.

The Dems & Cucks are hoping he will pull a George W. Bush to derail his agenda.

Trump is not taking the bait so far.

Seems like missile defence forces, Patriot batteries and whatnot, show of military hardware.

There's no ramping up for war right now.

You can track every Carrier Strike Group on the internet.

If there was a war on the horizon, prolly about four of them would be heading to the 5th fleet.

No sign of that. Whatever rhetoric is being propagated, if there is a war coming, nobody has told the Pentagon.

Just checked the fleet tracker, as of 16 September 2019, there is one Carrier Strike Group in the Fifth Fleet.

CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln is in the Gulf. There is the USS Boxer with Marines in the Red Sea.

That's it, so they ain't ramping up for anything at this juncture.

There's only four Carriers on stand by right now worldwide.

The Reagan is in Japan.

The Nimitz is in California.

The Eisenhower is in Virginia.

The rest are docked for various reasons, mostly maintenance.

Not a war footing.
