How to take on Iran

[Didgevillage]

They are being forced to buy the junk

We know that’s pure BS, so how about a straight answer that at least gets close to something you can actually support with verifiable facts?

What follows of course will be you ignoring the question, side swiping it, or rolling into yet another ■■■■■■ conspiracy rant.

Surprise me if you can.

Germany was (Notice the past tense) white.
The UK was white.
The US was predominantly white.

Ok, but nobody has been genocidally (is that a word lol) killed off. And my grandkids are as white as their great grandparents…

[TWR]

Buy a dictionary, when whites are targeted base on race that is by definition “genocidal” and it happens numerous times every day.

You probably wouldn’t deny that he was a freak would you???

Personally I don’t know, I never met him, but I do know that the MSM have lied to us abt both WW’s, so maybe they also lied abt Hitler.
Do you NEVER question what MSM tells you?

@TWR

Neither can or is in a position to even try to stop us.

I get the impression you’d like to find out???WTF
Be careful what you wish for.

@montecresto1

no reason for the US to be at war with him.

Do you think that abt Iran too?

@TWR

Neither of them could sustain a conventional war

Problem is it won’t be a conventional war and US problem is they think same as you.

[TWR]

Don’t quit your day job.

[TWR]

Fantasy. Neither can afford a conventional war and neither could survive a nuclear war.

@pjohns

A nation’s sovereignty is, indeed, “tethered” to its ability to use its own discretion; and mount a military campaign against whomever it considers a “threat” to its interests.

No permission needed.

I don’t think that you understand the United Nations, the security council and its role, and what a resolution for the use of force is, and why nations, including the United States, utilize them.

Did the US “utilize” the UN when going to war in Vietnam? Or in Iraq? Or in Afghanistan?

(Please note that it is quite irrelevant whether these were wise endeavors or not. The point is simply that the US did not feel any burning need to seek UN approval–nor should it have.)

[Didgevillage]

Interesting.
A guy who knows that a war between the US and Iran will annihilate either of them is pushing for that war.

@pjohns

Oh, please feel free to be more specific. Now.

A country without any navy or air force (not even a remnant of either) could “fight back”–how, exactly?

Even Iraq and Libya fought back and they both had less military capabilities than Iran. I suppose you’ve never read any of the Pentagons annual reports to Congress about such things.

If Iran’s navy and air force are totally destroyed–and if we do not do a land invasion (as I would not recommend; and I quite doubt that President Trump would, either); then just how is it that Iran would have any remaining military capabilities, with which to fight the US?

@KhazarMilkers

It’s going to take another 9/11 to mobilize the population for against war a capable enemy. They couldn’t even get public support for large interventions following the Arab Spring and those would have been simple endeavors compared to a victory and long-term occupation of Iran. I don’t think that people give a shit about this anymore and many probably think it’s fake.

China and Russia won’t allow any such thing.

And when did we ever become beholden to the preferences of China and Russia, anyway?

@Didgevillage

They are being forced to buy the junk

And how, exactly, are they being “forced”?

They could, after all, purchase airplanes from Europe’s Airbus…

[Didgevillage]

That’s not how politics work.
If you’re sitting at a table with a mobster, you do your best not to offend him.

Well, exactly what sort of war do you believe that it would be?

[Didgevillage]

He already said it will be nuclear.
And yet he is pushing for it.
Goes to show.

Interesting metaphor.

But would you elucidate, please?

Who, exactly, is “he”?

Some ayatollah, perhaps?

Politics between two governments is no different. It’s a show of force and a lot of browbeating.
