I don't think you have a grasp of the age of the posters on this board.

Curious what Russia and China do. While i don’t expect any type of world war, you do have a perfect storm at the moment of having pissed off all of your largest enemy’s.

I do not want war with anyone and wish we were out of the region.

With that being said, the above quote is incredibly stupid. You don't wait until they start killing our guys just to justify hitting targets.



You are correct sir. We do not need to escalate the situation. However, IF Iran leaves us with no options except waiting for them to hit us first or hitting them first. Then and only then should we hit em first and hit em hard enough that we f**k 'em up like they have not been f**ked since the days of Alexander the Great.

Show me. This sounds a lot like the BS before the 2nd Iraq War. We had grainy pictures of tubes and claimed they were burying chem labs in the desert. 

I can see my cars in my driveway in Google earth, pretty sure a spy satellite could give me a very detailed picture of these missile platforms. 


So because you can see with decent clarity the cars in your driveway from year 2006 that were taken by a cam atop a Google vehicle 40 feet away, the public should have access to top secret, present day images from satellites in equal quality?

Jesus... Where to even begin?

This is funny. We made the firs move back in the 50's with the Shah. We've been trying to prod them into a shooting war ever since. Sanctions are effectively economic war on a country and it's populace.

If carter had sent the Shah back over to the Ayatollah with a bow on his head would that have altered the course of history?

No. The Shah had ruined the populace and the populace (correctly) saw America as the cause of the Shah. As a country, Iran has never invaded anyone, ever. In fact, I'd think you'd have to go back to the Persian Empire to find a time where they attacked someone.

If this leads to the annihilation of the Middle East, does that make Trump the prophesied anti-Christ?

I have, that's my point. Google time stamps the static picture their car captures YEARs ago, did you really think it was real time?

CVN-72 and her strike group are now located within 900 kilometers of the Strait of Hormuz; stationary somewhere off the coast of #Oman.

Unclear what her next objective will be, but we continue to monitor both satellite and AIS for any possible hints. ????

Iranian leadership isn't familiar with the phrase "Homey don't play dat".

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Obama and Kerry are using their influence to manipulate Iran to a conflict with the US before the 2020 elections just to hurt Trump's chances.

Until this morning, however, I am not aware of an "ordered departure" EVER being issued for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad or Consulate in Erbil. Even when ISIS was bearing down on Baghdad in 2014, the U.S. did not trigger ordered departure in light of its serious repercussions.

Ok, I do appreciate the update but are those 2 replies aimed at me or just replies the the thread in general (which makes more sense obviously).
