I'd rather be offensive than passive every time a USC is killed. When your passive with a Terrorist group, it gives them legitimacy, and then they do bigger hits with out worrying about retaliation. You hit them every time they hit you, then it makes it harder for them to recruit and stay organized. Did you just “you guys” me with these freaks? ![]() RE: Iran Situation - Matt_Crimson - 01-07-2020 Iran has now announced that they will attack the cities of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Haifa, Israel if the US retaliates on Iranian land. Umm.......... what??? RE: Iran Situation - Arturo Bandini - 01-07-2020 All this for impeachment distraction. Costly price to be paid on both sides.

This was a totally different set of circumstances. That is because you are a logically thinking person. RE: Iran Situation - Nately120 - 01-07-2020 I can't believe it took us this long to get to this point. Republicans have been teasing about bombing the hell our of Iran for a long time. McCain would sing about bombing Iran to the tune of an old Beach Boys song and he became the left-wing messiah as soon as Trump attacked him so I guess we are all-in now. Finally, a war where I'm old enough to say "LET'S GET EM!!! I'm old and will sit here on my ass, but I support the hell out of your brave kids!"

So how do we end it? RE: Iran Situation - bfine32 - 01-07-2020 (01-07-2020, 09:30 PM)Au165 Wrote: Welp they launched rockets at our base in Iraq. Let’s see what kind of irrational response we muster up now. So we have Iran bombing Iraq.

Would it matter at all to you if you were shown that the Trump admin got us out of more conflicts than they got us in?

Umm.......... what??? No surprise here. Now the ball is in the US court. The US could let it rest now, call the two waves of ballistic missiles "peanuts." I don't think Iran will attack Haifa as a next step, if the US retaliates with a small attack. But it Trump wants to make a "statement"--then remember that we are "safer" now and expect the war to spiral upwards, engulfing other nations, including Israel.

"All is well" my ass.

I have a pretty good idea it's not "Oh well Iran fired on Iraq" when our troops were fired on. And I have a pretty damn good idea how some around here would respond to other fluffing off the military being attacked 'cause they take it very, very seriously when a even a joke is made about it. Something, indeed, needs bit.

I didn't say "Oh well Iran fired on Iraq". That's just you trying to infer something never said. I simply said we have Iran bombing Iraq. Of course we take this attack seriously. You just might not know how seriously. RE: Iran Situation - Bengalzona - 01-08-2020 All one needs to know about Trump's foreign policy goals is contained in the last 1/2 hour of a B-rated TV show from the 80's: https://archive.org/details/The_Man_Who_Saw_Tomorrow_1981_VHSRip RE: Iran Situation - Bengalzona - 01-08-2020 Apparently, a Ukrainian airliner justed crashed in Iran shortly after takeoff. Wonder what happened there? https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/07/middleeast/plane-crash-iran-intl-hnk/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0eMWv4vmr7SQ0SFhkNKUjzzsZFAh8RRg5gaQSJAXx-8fgsq5y5esykETU RE: Iran Situation - bfine32 - 01-08-2020 (01-08-2020, 01:20 AM)Bengalzona Wrote: Apparently, a Ukrainian airliner justed crashed in Iran shortly after takeoff. The terrorist leader that was killed was responsible for 1,000s of US deaths and it appears the state that supported him is willing to continue the trend. But we want to clutch our pearls over how we eliminated this threat to American lives. RE: Iran Situation - Benton - 01-08-2020 (01-07-2020, 11:53 PM)bfine32 Wrote: So how do we end it? Leave. Stop fighting proxy wars. Stop fighting actual wars. Leave them to settle their own fights that have been going on five times longer (or more) than we've been a country. We've spent a lot of money and blood trying to claim something.

It is really eerie, however last time a jet liner went down in Iran it was because we shot it down. It is worth noting it was a Boeing 737, the same plane that has crashed a couple times over the last year almost immediately after take off. Edit: Apparently different version of the 737. |
