Let’s see, Mexico invades our country so we are going to war with Iran? Sounds as stupid as 9/11 and then attacking Iraq.
I would only support war with Iran if we can glass parking lot the House of Saud and the Wahhabi mullah beforehand.
It wouldn’t break my heart if Saudi Arabia got Hiroshima’d like that one scene from Terminator 2
I pray to G-D, that not 1 American soldier will ever be used to secure Israel. We don’t need American soldiers in any scenario that is likely to happen in the next couple of decades.
Syria is a basket case, Egypt is too busy trying to maintain the status quo. Saudis and UAE except Qatar like us now. Lebanon is a issue with Hizbullah but when the government in Iran falls so does Hizbullah.
Palestinians, who cares about them? Euro trash and the Democrats, in the near future even the Euro trash will dump them.
So why do I need American soldiers to safe guard Israel?
Covert war and sanctions, will cause the government in Iran to fall.
They are in a strange situation of being very strong from a short term military and terrorism stand point, but they are weak within the country the people no longer support them. As the economics gets worse they will have even less support.
This will be the danger zone which we are just starting to get into. Iran will hit American targets to try and start a war in an effort to have the masses rally around the flag.
We know, they are going to do something and soon.
Nobody turned down American soldiers in Germany during WWII…
What bemuses me is that everyone in SWA seems to be perpetually stuck in the Bronze Age with their way of thinking.
Honestly this might sound bad but if I didn’t know which religious practices you held; y’all look the same to me
Both sides cannot be the devil and both sides certainly aren’t angels.
Part of me wants to be cheeky and say “y’all need Jesus” but really the rockets and BS need to stop. Folks need to agree to disagree and I dunno…get a life.
All I know is that in my country where I live millions of unnecessary and unneeded people cross over every day and if she can cook, clean, learns to speak English with like a Valley Girl accent, and won’t steal my stuff; I might even wife one up.
A tangent but I’m taking it. My three ethnic turn ons are black chicks with British accents, Latin broads who talk like valley girls, and China Dolls who sound Southern. Maybe even (ugh) Texan.
I dunno.
Anyways each day the case is being made for a New Constantinople.
Really everyone just needs to I dunno, chill.
It’s like that Rick snd Morty episode. “Makes sense if you think about it”
The sun came up today. You know that alone let’s me know the Lord is thinking of me and Im alive and doing fine
Not that I’d ever get the chance, but I’d fight for Israel before I would the cesspool that is Europe. The day will come when the Muslim governments will finally put aside their differences and decide to destroy Israel once and for all. Ezekiel 38 & 39.
Taking it further, for this prophecy to occur there has to have been peace in the area, everything seemingly settled:
[i]in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations,and they shall dwell safely all of them.
It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,[/i]
So, as I read it, Israel needs to finally be at peace with her neighbors, they will attack, and God (not man) will show his might over Satan:
Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
I’m probably wrong, though.
No, it’s a good analysis.
Zero Hedge is a pretty unreliable news source. This whole thing about Bolton and the Carrier Air Group is political hot air. U.S. Carriers have been making the Arabian Gulf part of the regular deployments since at least the 1970’s. The USS Enterprise conducted Operation Preying Mantis against Iranian naval forces in 1988, destroying several ships and boats. The Enterprise was there again in early 1990. CAG’s are always there.
I foresee another failed military excursion.

I think I can saw I saw this coming.
Abso-freaking-lutely! A Contra mission on steroids. No need for American boots. [wouldn’t it be ironic if we sold TOW missiles to Nicaragua to fund a covert war in Iran?]
Now if they did something overt and obvious, smack the f*****g shit out of them HARD. Otherwise, let their own insurgents kill them by a thousand cuts.
I don’t know about the Jesus part as I have been shot at by Christian Palestinians. But for sure rockets and terrorism need to stop. I will agree 100% that Israel has made mistakes. But I think an honest assessment of us will show overall we aren’t doing a bad job of trying to balance staying alive while responding with the least force possible.
I think if the USA had to endure what we endure, the response would be much more violent and long term.
Black chics with British accents, YEP.
I worked with one at JFK after 9-11. YUP.
We’ve been at war with Iran since the Islamic Revolution began in early 1978. I had Iranian students as neighbors at the University of Arizona. Some had to return home because their student visas were revoked - a few sought asylum in the US. One is now a Doctor in Phoenix and big time Conservative Republican. As a general rule, the secular Iranian People are quite advanced intellectually, and anti-Islamist. Iran/Persia could be a real gem in that part of the world without the radical Islamist government.
There were several Iranian students in my engineering classes in 79-80’ whose families had fled after the Ayatollah revolution. So no friends to the radical Islamists. They all drove Trans Ams, partied and appeared very secular and intelligent and likable. However, even they had a deep, deep unquestioned determination that Israel should be wiped off the map. Made me realize (along with other experiences) there is no negotiating with Arabs or Persians—their ideology is so much a part of their culture they will never concede anything to the contrary.
We should never give a dime to these knuckleheads for oil, we should never give them technology, and we should let them slaughter each other for the most part. When they make direct threats to us or Israel or actual attacks then we should respond decisively and harshly and not be asking for permission from any of them ever.
You and me both…my gut tells me that somehow, someway, American troops are going to be fighting in Iran at some point… and just like A- stan, this will be another endless war…
What if there were no US dollars on top of no US soldiers?
