I completely understand that but I just don’t think we should be the ones to make the first move.


If they are shifting missiles around to offensive positions to target Americans, you can stop worrying. We didn't make the first move, they did.

Almost nobody does, regardless of what you hear from the liberals/leftists around here, who insist they are libertarians. Pretty much the extent of their defense of Americans and American interests around the world is to issue letters of marque for the bad actors to wipe their asses with.

If that happens, they'll be more Tomahawks in Iran than there were at Little Big Horn....

This all has to be a game. It’s just beyond reason for any country in the world to test the US.

Probably. If they are testing the Trump Admin, perhaps they should be reminded the US Mil went as far as killing Russians in Syria....Iran has gotten bold in the past (with the Reagan Administration)- with dismal results.

Their leadership is detrimental to world stability.

Interesting..

@MichLKosinski State Department says threats from Iran are "real," "imminent," and centered on US assets in the Middle East.

Maybe I should hold off on signing up for the Army Reserve for a little while.

From a dude that's been there. That whole region is in harm's way whether they're shooting at each other or not.

And shooting shite from 200 miles away, is a waste of money, it rarely works. You gotta be there , in indian country, with the atflir on the target. The only way it works. Cruise missiles are like shooting spit balls.

Thats now how this works. It’s 2019, even Iran has missiles capable of damaging our ships and planes and bases in the region. Every sailor and soldier in the region is in harms way. Maybe not as dangerous as an actual ground invasion but in harms way nonetheless.

I tend to agree, it’s asinine for Iran to try to fight a conventional war with the US. Either they are just seeing how far they can push us(most likely) or they feel their boxed into a corner with the sanctions and domestic pressure at home and have no other viable option other than war....or....they feel they’ll have the support of an outside player like Russia or China.

I feel like most on this board are too young to remember Iraq’s WMD.
It’s literally the same fricking guy. Cook the intelligence books. Roll out disinformation to the simpletons. Yay war!
I lived it.

Is it possible to get ROV to paint an American flag on the giant piece of glass that will be left of what used to be Persia after we are finished?
