    This is brilliant on Trump's part. Iran has become the laughing stock of the world. After this backdown, who will ever fear a bunch of religious thugs? Only other religious thugs, not rational minds. Makes me wish Trump would do the same to Maduro, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Ortega, and Putin. Imagine how much freedom and prosperity would progress, and how much less evil and murder there would be in the universe. Ah, one can but dream, yes?

    Ah, one who understands that a worm is no threat to an eagle, but the worm has to be two-ended (two-faced) to its own kind.

    Iran could never win a regular war against the United States. They know that too. So they have to use some other tactics and trickery such as guerilla warfare and terror attacks.

    I don't think they'll do squat. Of course, they are religious psychotics, and one can never tell about the crazies.

    :icon_shithappens:POS :icon_shithappens: FRUMP:icon_shithappens: - Yellows Out !
    After all his empty -Bloviating- about how he was going to Destroy even Iran's cultural sites,
    i
    f Iran offered any sort of retaliation. He now tries to find a way to excuse himself, and back
    his Exceptional dump truck out of the corner into which he has painted IT

    US President Donald Trump
    Don't Want To Use Missiles Or Military Against Iran,

    https://www.indiatoday.in/world/sto...-us-president-donald-trump-1635145-2020-01-09

    From The Article:
    US President Donald Trump said the United States did not necessarily have to
    use its military power against Iran, in an apparent attempt to defuse a crisis over
    the American killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani.

    It was done rather smart by Iran. Everybody knew what was coming, they notified the Iraqi PM. Everybody had enough time to find shelter.
    The missile show started and Iran could say they hit 2 US bases and claim 70 dead and 200 wounded.
    Good show.
    The rest they will do with proxis and hit US allies in the region.

    as are those who run the US. The US of course is a rogue state which kept shouting at the world that it was going to commit war crimes. It will be difficult for it to find anywhere lower to sink to.

    Alice? How’s that white rabbit hunt going? You support Maduro too, right? Not surprising you fear America more than Iran—you know how we love stoning adulteresses and throwing gays off the top of buildings.

    Here’s a tweet from some one who escaped Islamic tyranny. Saudi Arabia, though, not Iran. Different sect, same religious tyranny.

    It’s been a year since I became free. Everytime I wake up, I feel like I’m being born again

    Well, your opinion is fantasy—a worm taking out an eagle. Be real.

    Tricky.
    Clausewitz wrote:

    No matter how small and weak a state may be in comparison with its enemy, it must not forego these last efforts, or one would conclude that its soul is dead. … A government that after having lost a major battle, is only interested in letting its people go back to sleep in peace as soon as possible, and, overwhelmed by feelings of failure and disappointment, lacks the courage and desire to put forth a final effort, is, because of its weakness, involved in a major inconsistency in any case. It shows that it did not deserve to win, and, possibly for that very reason was unable to.

    No one has ever figured out if Clausewitz was advocating a People's war or if he just expected the hoi polloi to die on behalf of their betters.

    Another question arises when we ask, who cares? Soleimani has always described himself as a simple soldier dedicated to serving Iran and the Revolution, which suggests that he is a pushy little bastard that is after the top job. Ali Khameneni was probably glad to see the back of him and no doubt provided the bacon sandwiches that caused the riot at his funeral.
