    Egypt was no Empire, it was a kingdom. Persia stands as the first Empire in known history, Spanning continents and various nations incorporated in its Empire.

    As for Iran, USA will find no allies for this war.

    Public opinion in Germany is 100% on Irans side. USA is called a war monger. Same counts for France, and evry other european power.

    I call BS on that one, as I know it is not true.

    Of course, they trade with the largest supporter of terrorism.

    That is not what I said, but Pearl Harbor was just what Roosevelt needed to rescind his most important campaign promise to keep us out of the war. It is a bit odd that two aircraft carriers were ordered out of Honolulu right before the attack leaving our ships and men unprotected.
    American cryptographers had deciphered Japanese code and knew that the attack was imminent. So many more odd coincidences concerning that attack.
    You act like Daddy Warbucks and international bankers who funded both sides of the war would never ever do anything like that.

    Ad hominem attacks will get you nowhere. If there is one thing that is consistent about this site is people calling you stupid when they don't like what you say and have no argument.

    Insanity is giving warnings to those that attack you as to what you are going to do. That goes for the msm and progressives as well. The previous administration always told the press what he was going to do giving his Muslim allies plenty of time to prepare. Trump is a streetfighter AND he wins.

    Probably because the largest ethnic group in America are Germans.

    And it's well known that America likes war.
    (May be a German thing ? )

    And if your country has a lot of brown people you better watch out !

    Democrats shot down the Drone?

    Trump is doing nothing more than taking credit for being sane. Not a leader in the world would retaliate with force for a drone being shot down, hell, most of them wouldn't even acknowledge they HAD drones in the area. The whole IDEA of drones is that they're secret, isn't it?

    And this will not end here. There will be another "incident" and this time Generalissimo Bonespurs will send in the troops. The deplorables are demanding their human sacrifices.

    It was just what the American public needed. You remember the mood after 9/11? Americans don't appreciate being bombed or otherwise attacked in such a deadly fashion.

    Leftists always attack ones intellect and like to float their degrees as credibility.

    I was thinking when the story first came out that it seemed pretty minor and ordinary to be making a big deal out of. It isn't even the first drone we've lost to Iran, but suddenly this was a big story and there was speculation of what might happen next. Iran destroying something of ours on our side of the globe would be far more newsworthy and troubling.

    It's sad. We have a conspiracy theory subforum, but some posters are so far gone that they can't separate fact from fiction, so they fail to post their conspiracy theories in the right section.

    If not hyperbole then explain how Trump has betrayed our country. Explain how Trump "betrays everything this country once stood for." In other words how about some facts, not hyperbolic words.

    Saying Germans are warlike is an unearned stereotype. Throughout the 19th century the Germans were regarded as a nation of philosophers and academics. Romantic dreamers with a lot of potential if they ever got their **** together. The FRENCH were the ones you had to watch out for.

    The Germans DID finally become a nation in more than name, and they incorporated Prussia, the "army with a country attached" so that may have added to this misconception

    The proper response would have been to nukeTehran. Problem solved. But we didn’t and won't until they nuke us. Really a bit silly and suicidal, but that's America today. Whatcha gonna do?
