We’re a global empire and there is another country in Europe who is trying to reestablish their global empire status.
Which country is it?
I do not know any European country with such ambition.

Not really. The United States has showed itself as weak and unwilling to do anything. Trump and Congress have hamstrung a once proud military.


True. Trump is being a little bitch about this war because he doesn’t want the political fallout of American KIAs on the news.

It’s time to accept that we are going to be in a stalemate for a very, very long time.


Well every day of that stalemate means 400,000,000 out of Irans economy. We just had awesome news about new jobs report.

Time does not favor Iran.

Some in the media did say that. I remember the beginning of the war, when a couple of guys being interviewed were showing satellite images of trains and caravans of trucks leaving Iraq and going into Syria. They said they are moving the WMD’s right in front of us and hiding them in Syria.
Then all of a sudden, we didn’t see those guys being interviewed anymore. Then after the war everyone ran with no WMD.
Hoax hoax hoax
I certainly don’t claim to be an expert or know the truth, but I’m 100% sure of my recollection of those interviews


And the fact that Saddam used WMD against the Kurds. It was well reported and verified. Does anyone believe after the use of those weapons Saddam said "well that was awful, I'm going to get rid of these horrible weapons!"?

Time absolutely favors Iran. They know they only have to wait till midterms or the next presidential election to get a US government more amenable to them.

Trump needs to forcefully take the strait of Hormuz while also keeping the Iranian blockade in place.

Trump knows a hell of a lot more than you. He has a time table. I am sorry that he has chosen not to share it with you.Maybe, you are a security risk.

He's almost certainly referring to Russia.

Aye, is that country, small part of which is geographically located in eastern-eastern Europe, and a largest part in Asia?

I should have become suspicious when he stopped the presentation several times to kneel on a rug and pray in the direction of the time share.

We are approaching the 2400th birthday of Alexander the Great. Maybe Macedon will rise again soon.

Yes. China or Russia will prop them up. But it doesn’t really matter. The effectively control the strait of Hormuz. If Trump doesn’t prove to the world soon that he won’t allow Iran to hold such a vital choke point hostage then eventually shipping companies and the other gulf nations will start paying Iran to get their oil to the market.

We need to seize the islands in the strait. Set up air defenses on them and have a constant naval presence patrolling the strait. It’ll cost us. We’ll lose some men and maybe even a ship but it must be done.

Russia is a European nation and has been considered so for hundreds of years. Almost all of its population is west of the urals—in Europe.

There were reports earlier today of US Fighter Jets operating near Kharg island. Wonder if this is us.
