🌎 USA vs. Iran

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I haven’t really kept up with any of this and I don’t know what’s gonna happen other than the fact that the US has moved a ton of assets into the region for them just to do it for the hell of it. But, this did make me laugh…

That's a good one!

One thing I do believe is if/when we start opening a can on Iran, personally, I think they will tuck tail and run just like Iraq did in the beginning of the Gulf War. My real concern is Iran going after Israel and it launching the beginning of WW3 and the start of the tribulation.

Iran's military is a joke. Those f4s would always hit us with their targeting radar when we were going thru the straits of hormuz. Navy is about non existent, mines are about their biggest threat.

Trump is definitely putting the US back as the leader in world affairs. I like it.

I don’t dispute the decision. I wish we’d been more nimble and taken the guy out before he had over 10,000 of his people killed.

I wish there was another way too.

Would've been nice but without the Intel reports it's hard to know if what they accomplished was possible at an earlier date. Honestly the guy should've been taken out decades ago, glad someone finally had the balls to call it.

I've got mixed feelings. Still "processing," is what I'll call it today. It's something to think about when the first international incident I can remember is Iran and the hostages.

So, I've been "watching."

I'll step into this thread with this jewel. At least, I find it funny.

In life, I'm not inclined to listen to anyone who is "stomping." Why, or how, or just what the fuck ... doesn't anyone tell you, "might want to rephrase?"

Too dumb to understand the law.

Sometimes you see a fight in nature. Or in this case on social media, and wonder... why in the world would he (she/it/etc.) pick that fight? This is one of those cases...

Yemen, Iraq, and Syria
All attacked by Joe Biden without any congressional approval..
Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, and Syria.
All bombed attacked or had covert military operations without congressional approval, by Barack Hussein Obama..

The ol' Fuck Around, Find Out video of the day...

(may not have been US Marines that fired on them, but point remains...)

Yeah stopped shooting way too soon to be marines

Yeah stopped shooting way too soon to be marines

Probably too many getting away also...

Not a better place to put this, I guess?

Too dumb to understand the law.

My gut tells me that's not the case. I don't think any of them are dumb.

That leaves me with two choices. They either don't know the law or they do and are just lying for sound bytes to affect public perceptions.

I suggested this earlier. This is a bit of a mental exercise for me because they were the "first terrorist state" I was exposed to in my lifetime. Now, I don't like seeing the US in other countries affairs. (Look at the Ukraine thread.)

The distabalizing effect this has on the world compared to Russia/Ukraine puts it in a different context, in my view. As much oil as the US is producing leaves me thinking there's not a great impact on our energy situation. But damn. If the European nations have something like this on top of their burgeoning problems?

If I walked into a place and saw a guy bullying a group of others, violently, would I step in knowing I can stop the whole thing? That's a hard yes.

 

[TerryP]

We HATE tyranny and dictators.

But...

You need our approval to do something about a tyrannical dictator.

I'd agree with you on most but have you seen her do an interview? There's no doubt in my mind of her intelligence level.

Also agree with the rest of your comments. I'm not for being the world's police but there comes a time when someone has to do something about the local bully. Iran having icbm's and/or nukes is bad for everyone. I don't doubt Israel could've taken care of the problem on their own but I believe, because of the politics and religions of that region, the US being involved is preferable. Iran has been causing mayhem for 40 years, while being backed by Russia and China. Trump is severely cutting China's world influence, which is almost as important as stopping Iran from having wmd's imo.
