Iran

Did you read the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion? It is required reading for certain of our fellow posters.

I never have. Wasn't that a Nazi book? I have seen it mentioned in connection with the Nazis in other books. As I remember it basically says the Jews are the cause of all evil in the world.

You can pound salt, too

Read the Bible enough to know that it ain't my bag.

I'm more of a Daoist than anything else.

So you can take it with you? Cool.

Did you take courses on missing the point? Or is it a reflex?
When outsiders attack, peoples tend to set aside their differences and work together for common defense.

Careful, you're arguing with 50 years of learnedness.

 

[rikberry31]

Yeah, sure. He made that happen about as much as Carter did. The CCCP was rotten from the inside and was going to fall when it fell.

The Soviet economy collapsed in large part to the arms race with the U.S. He mentioned Star Wars and they lost their mind and we spent them under the table.

A house of learned doctors.

But seriously more like a forum of lear-ed doctors.

They didn’t need to organize gatherings. They based themselves INSIDE civilian enclaves.
Are you really this dense or do you just pretend to be?

The organized gathering was the point. So, as you were saying…

 

[EasternVol]

Especially when the dictator holds gun to their head
I bet you think the North Koreans really adore Dear Leader too don’t you?

You’re not helping whatever you think your argument is.

The more innocents that Israel or the USA kill, the stronger the regime will be optically externally and internally. It’s hard to expect civilians to support a foreign invasion for regime change that is simultaneously threatening and committing to destroying your “civilization” and civilian infrastructure.

That makes sense. I have noticed that they have really been gaining strength over the past month. And we are doing them a great service by bringing on the Apocalypse, 12th Goat Humper, and giving them all an opportunity rape seventy-two virgins.

 

[rikberry31]

You don't have to be a genius to see this basic truth.

Right? Who can't see that in war the more of your people that get killed the better it is for that country. Common flippin sense.

Yes it had nothing to do with the inability to produce food/ TVs / cars/ food/ computers/ VCRs / Jean Jackets/ food….

Don't you spend your days "trading" in an apartment furnished by your mommy?

I wish. She's got the good stuff in storage. I'm Ikea furnished in Richmond.

Your data is faulty. For the third time, you may dox me, but you might be too much of a p**** to do that, even behind the anonymity of your keyboard.

Reagan? Whose azz did he kick? He turned tail and ran away from Lebanon. He was stupid to go there to start with.

This should have informed the rest of our Middle East policy. It was stupid to be there in the first place and Reagan admitted it with his actions.

Its as if you have thoughts that enter your mind and you just impulsively begin to type half the time.

 

[sonofUT62]

I have read just about every major religious text including the Satanic Bible.

Were they leather bound? Did they smell like mahogany.

The economic woes were a direct result of the arms race and the high cost of the war in Afghanistan. To compete in the arms race which Reagan ramped spending on the military and projects like Star Wars, the Soviets were forced to bankrupt their country. Fact.

Place your bets!

What blatant lie will Donald concoct tonight for why he will NOT actually bomb Iran back "to the Stone Ages [sic]".

(1) "Iran called me. They said ‘Sir, please.’ They called me—top people, very top people—and they said, ‘Sir, please don’t do this.’ And I said, ‘Okay, but you have to respect us.’ And they agreed. Total respect now.”

(2) "I have fired my so-called 'Secretary of War' for his incompetent war-mongering and leading our country into this military operation that I NEVER WANTED!!! I have hereby appointed his replacement Snoop Dogg. Great negotiator. Very calm under pressure.”

(3) “We already won. Nobody’s ever won like this. Frankly, we don’t even need to bomb. Iran is already very scared—very, very scared. People are saying they’ve never seen fear like this. So we won. Total victory. Huge.”

(4) “The generals said it would be TOO successful. I had the best generals come in—tough guys—and they said, ‘Sir, if you do this, it will be too powerful. Too devastating.’ And I said, wow… maybe we tone it down.”

(5) “I decided to be nice. Nobody’s nicer than me. I could do it. I could do it in one hour. But I said, you know what? Let’s show compassion. I’m a very compassionate person—people don’t say it enough.”

(6)“The weather was unbelievable. You wouldn’t believe it. Terrible weather. The worst. The bombs wouldn’t look good. I said, we can’t do it unless it looks perfect. It has to look perfect.”

(7) “We have a stronger secret plan (you’ll never see it). We’re doing something much bigger. Much smarter. I can’t tell you what it is—but when you see it, you’ll say, ‘Wow, that’s genius.’”

(8) “I was about to press the button, the best button. I was literally there, finger on the button—beautiful button, by the way—and I said, you know what? Let’s give peace a chance. And everyone clapped.”

Reading about B52s en route and information and energy threats against the US. Is this about to happen? I mean I feel sick.

Or the decade-long boondoggle in Afghanistan.

Their economic woes were a result of how their economy was structured. We should take note since we keep moving in that direction. The military programs helped their economy in the same way our MIC helps ours.

That would be the same Germans that laughed at Trump when he warned them against dependence on Russian energy, right?
How’s that working out?

They’re still laughing at him fumble his way towards the 25th Amendment.
