It's a very good thing that Trump explicitly called out in his opening statement the likelihood of American casualties, preemptively acknowledging and promoting realities instead of continuing to ride on the PR high of no deaths from the 12 Day War and Venezuela. Was fun while it lasted, though.
If you're muslim, you're not white. Also white people can spell "dying"
American or no?
Marines are in position and read to go. Seizing territory around the straits is doable and makes a lot of sense. So does Kharg and many other strategic sites along the gulf coast. I'm tired of hearing this "no boots on the ground" bs. Even if Trump has no intention of landing in Iran (dubious), there is every reason to threaten to do so.
Usually the crews of these vessels are third worlders. It is very bearish for oil shipments through the area though.
Thanks.
Sir you're still gonna get bombed.
I fucking hope the euros go final solution on the muds if this happens. It would disheartening.
Maybe its the few part of me that's still a mud but tbf atleast ali didn't fuck a child like muhammad did. So that already puts him on a high pedestal.
Compared to the beasts like saddam or hell the people that after he was ousted. Lol, lmao even.
Its heartbreaking to see this but i just can't help but laugh thanks to all the edits of Japanese chicks in bikinis or a bunch of trashy looking guys lol. Guess iran was pretty multicultural too!Bring this back! This was Teheran in the 1970s, before the islamists took over
This only happened because they had to suffer almost half a decade of ACTUAL oppression. You don't get those kinda rights out of thin air.
Go ahead and curse vishnu and Muhammed for the thread.
Trust the plan, Yaweh guides the golem
Intimidation, in case those nearby countries are thinking of sucking up to or helping the US. It's a reminder than they can and will destroy those they can reach. It's also a similar message to the US that they will take out whatever they can if they have to go down. Which will destabilize the region immensely (which will make involvement of bigger powers not necessarily on our side more likely) and will also cost us a shit-ton.
Do you know what powers your car and/ or every fucking truck, train, and plane the US uses or needs someone to use?
Well, how about we start November 4, 1979, when 66 Americans, including diplomats and other civilian personnel, were taken hostage at the US Embassy in Tehran, with 52 of them being held until January 20, 1981. (PL: my dad turned down a position at the Embassy in 1977.)
It's absolutely fucking astounding that anyone actually needs to be reminded that people die in war, yet here we are even itt with people saying "whaaaaaaat??? This is unacceptable!" Or"well, now that we've had soldiers die, this changes everything!" TF.
Yeah, that's a great way to get neighboring countries to not side against you.
The day I want a Torontonian to do my thinking for me is the day I’ll put a bullet through my fucking brainpan.
I've never been an isolationist or neoisolationist. I've supported Israel for 30 years. Try again, this time try to find some charge I care about
Because it makes the US look bad for kicking up a shitstorm in the region
Dude, even King Warhawk himself explicitly said there will be no boots on the ground. Unlike Trump, Graham would love nothing more than to brag about how we're storming the beaches.
