So quit playing the patsy and unleash Hell upon them and their proxies! Anytime one of them so much as farts put a hellfire up their butt. Quit fearing them or public reaction. Takr it to them so hard that they are scared to move or talk.

Iran Conflict: 1/4 12:45pm - Iran strikes back at US in Iraq

BREAKING: Mortar shells fall on the presidential palaces complex in the city of Mosul, which hosts a number of flag_us US. forces.

Now we’re climbing up the escalation ladder. Insurgency against US forces in Iraq has begun.


It's incredible how stupid these people are.

They don’t look weak. They ARE weak. They cannot sustain a long term war against the US without sustaining massive losses of life or without external support.

The consequences of retaliation is another strike from the US. How many more shots do you think Trump will approve directed at military forces before he approves a strike on Tehran itself? Iran has a way out of this. Stop the foolishness. Just stop the aggression.

I don’t think so.

It really goes back to our relationship with Jerusalem and Riyadh. As long as we choose to intervene on their behalf and support their domination of the region, Iran will be our enemy. But there’s no intrinsic conflict between us.

How about back in the 60's when the CIA aided in overthrowing their democratically elected president and installing the Shah---you don't think that has anything to do with their longstanding hatred of the US???? And we did that because we feared they were too cozy with the RUSSIANS.

If true, I hope Trump takes out one of their two oil refineries, and the take out the second if they retaliate again.

Then lastly drop a MOAB on their nuke facilities.

Their own people will take out the Ayatollah Khomeini once they are starving, decimated and had enough sufferage.

I don’t think they care anymore.

That was 67 years ago.

If it does anything, it just shapes their perception of us as an imperial power.

What we're seeing is Hezbollah attacks, likely supported but not sanctioned by Iran. The longer it takes Iran to prepare for the main event, the harsher it will be. Could be days or weeks. I suspect it will be huge. I think it will end in full blown war at this rate. https...
