We will certainly regret the consequences of not dealing with Iran seriously. The Patriot missile system is completely defensive in nature. It has no offensive capability. In no way could it be used for imperialism.
Yes, of course the Saudis want more Americans to die in another war to preserve "Greater Israel" regional hegemony as do America's crazed "Christian Zionists" Meanwhile, the majority of the American people are opposed to war with Iran(1). Unfortunately, our US Government is far more concerned with appeasing AIPAC, etc than it is doing what is in America's best interests (1) "Majority of Americans Oppose War With Iran" https://financialtribune.com/articles/national/90684/majority-of-americans-oppose-war-with-iran EXCERPT "Americans say by more than two-to-one margin that they would oppose going to war against Iran, a new HuffPost/YouGov survey finds. Just 23% of the public say they would support the US deciding to declare war on Iran, while the majority, 53%, opposes the idea. Just 9% would strongly support declaring war, while 37% are strongly opposed."CONTINUED
Most Americans were opposed to involvement in ww2. I am opposed to action against Iran unless they shoot first. I am for trying to get them to change their ways with sanctions. I don't understand our friendly nature towards Saudi Arabia.
But when did the US military actually invade Iran? Of course the military did try in 1979 after Iran invaded the US Embassy.
The Iranians know if they control the Straight of Hormuz they will have the power to blackmail any country that opposes them. This is the what the "real" Iranian regime, Islamist theologian, wants. The more moderate puppet president of Iran is being silenced. The US military presence in the Straight has kept the peace for decades. The US will never allow Iran to take control. It would be a disaster for the world economy.
Backing down? No one knows what Iran supposedly did, so this whole thing is just for show, or maybe a distraction from something else. Did they dispatch USS Maddox yet?
Maybe if MSM reported more on this very serious situation than on Trump most people would have more information. The Iranian military is once again threatening to close the Straight of Hormuz and making threats towards the US bases in the area. The Iranian Ayatollah has made the claim one missile could destroy America's entire fleet in the area. And yes I did post a link. The ISNA news agency quoted hardliner Ayatollah Tabatabai-Nejad in the city of Isfahan as saying: "Their billion-dollar fleet can be destroyed with one missile. "If they attempt any move, they will face dozens of missiles because at that time government officials won't be in charge to act cautiously, but instead things will be in the hands of our beloved leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.”
Hezbollah's flag is a fist clenching a Kalashnikov raised over the world. Hezbollah's name means party of God. So they are armed religious fanatics who control territory with an iron fist, persecute women, gays,and minorities . I will leave it up to you to see the Irony here. By the way Hezbollah is just Iran's puppet. Why does Iran get a puppet and America doesn't? Wvery reasonable country in the world considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization.
DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said on Monday that two of its oil tankers were among those attacked off the coast of the United Arab Emirates and said it was an attempt to undermine the security of crude supplies amid tensions between the United States and Iran. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...-among-those-hit-off-uae-coast-idUSKCN1SJ088?
I was aware that most Americans were opposed to WW 1 but after Pearl Harbor, I thought that most Americans supported WW 2. I am strongly against war with Iran and wouldn't be surprised to see a "False Flag" event manufactured by American Hawks or by Mossad. When you said: , could you be more specific about in which way you would like them to "change their ways" Thanks
Christian Zionists are an enormous part of the US voting system, though I was reading an article about Black Evangelicals, they were furious about being labelled Trumpettes along with their white brethern. I think they have cottoned on about those marvellous 'christians' intending on ending the world while ensuring, they believe, the death of even most Jews whether they are zionists or not. I believe they are as 'evil' as Isis but unfortunately with a hell of a lot more power. Now they are the really extreme ones. I understand you have about 40 million of them many of them in the Republican party one of them Vice President. One of them Education Minister.....they are the ones with the pure hate who know what they are up to. They are the ones who claim to be 'christian' while only reading Revelations and a few other parts of the bible which allow 'Christians' to be violent and cruel. The unfortunate reality is that there are about another 60 million Christians who can be misled into thinking they are doing something good and so allow democracy to bring in hell. I know other Christians are trying to wake people up before it is too late.
Seriously? You spend far more money on supporting terrorism and illegal violence than Iran. Far more. Your actions since the turn of the century have resulted in the deaths of millions of people. Here you are wanting to destroy another country just so that you can please Israel and help her to illegally take land and murder civilians at will. At the current time, the US must be the biggest criminal country in the world - that is because of its power and it is using its power to destroy countries, murder by stealth and so on. The US is the most dangerous country in the world at this time.
Yes, you had quite a few Nazi brigades. Your sanctions are mass murder. You killed 500,000 children by your sanctions in Iraq. You have already killed over 40,000 people in Venezuela since 2017 and I would bet the number in Iran will be far higher than Iraq....and what are you killing them for? Obeying a treaty they made with your country. The US is the criminal and mass murderer. There are American's who are not like this and I do notice them trying to get positive change while the US current Government through its believe in 'God' and Amorality works to destroy the world.
We have vastly different views of what is occurring in Israel and what has happened in the world over last 100 years.
Did I say the US actually militarily invaded Iran? As with their actions with many other weaker countries around the world the MO is to undermine with sanctions which kill ordinary people or covert CIA coups that funnel vast amount of your tax dollars into the overthrow of regimes the US does not like through covert operations or supporting right-wing death squads and the brutal dictators who show fealty to the US military, economic and military posture and therefor are "good" dictators. This has been the US playbook since 1953 and 54 when the US overthrew the Arbenz government in Guatemala for crimes of having democratic election that threatened to nationalize their own land and resources against the interests of United Fruit, (a company which CIA director Dulles was on the board of,btw) and the unforgivable un-American crime of land reform for peasants and universal health and education. That was the same MO as overthrew the elected government of Iran in order to protect the interests of British Petroleum against a government that wanted to take control of it's own oil reserves for the benefit of it's own people. The US does not always need to directly attack and invade countries as it did in Iraq. It can use it's covert intelligence to undermine and interfere in the elections and political structures or use sanctions as it is now to destroy economies and kill people due to want of medicines and basic staples of life. But trust me, with Bolton in charge, actual invasion is very much in play......
The US military has been protecting the shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz for decades. Iran is not going to be invaded by the US military. Iran is playing the victim here with absolutely no proof they are in danger of being invaded by the US.
The US has zero reason to start a war with Iran as it would disrupt the commercial shipping of oil and other goods through the Strait of Hormuz. Only Iran wants to see a disruption and wants control of the Strait which the US will never let happen.
In the meantime Kim Jong Un is shooting Ballistic Missiles like he's playing darts... but Iran If you can't be corrupted you will be conquered
I know that the US has no reason to start a war with Iran but Bolton, Pompeo and the Israeli lobbies that drive US Mid East Policy are not reasonable individuals or entities. Netanyahu who controls Trump(1) is obsessed with starting a war with Iran(2) fought by American GIs and, historically, what Israeli lobbies & Netanyahu want from America, they usually always get. Iran, on the other hand, was not the party to abrogate the Nuclear Deal & Iran's PM Rouhani has repeated reached out to improve relations with the US (3) but the Israeli controlled Trump administration takes its orders from Jerusalem / Tel Aviv so I'm not optimistic about a peaceful resolution to the increasing tensions.
