Iran

[EasternVol]

It's only the same playbook if we (the US) go in and force a western style "democracy" on them.

Like we did with the Shah? No, wait, that was getting rid of a democracy.

That's what makes this tricky. The ayatollah might be the sane one in leadership.

 

[EasternVol]

Here’s a question

If we could have gone back in time and prevented North Korea from acquiring nuclear bombs, would we do it?

How would we have done that?

 

[85SugarVol]

Random unrelated fun fact, 20% of Beverly Hills is composed of Jewish Persians.

 

[EasternVol]

Those rouge nukes come from the Moulin region of France.

How about the verde ones? Bordeaux?

No. Khamenei is far from sane

Oil has zero to do with this.

And no we don't think they have nukes yet

Yet being the key term

They can't make a nuclear bomb with what they admit they have

They can make a nasty dirty bomb with what they admit they have

If he didn’t have half the board blocked, he’d probably realize this stuff already.

You can't speak with such certainty.

It was just a meme and my contention is that we're given a BS reason.

If we were Iran, we would want to be on a level playing field for mutually assured destruction. It's not our fkn biz to tell them they can't equip themselves for defense. MAD has proven to be a great way to preserve peace. We're causing problems foreverybody by always being involved, including ourselves. Trillions and trillions and trillions of our debt is over this BS. We would never have to worry about Iran if we didn't make ourselves their enemy.

 

[EasternVol]

I'm gonna be honest.

It might just be time to eliminate the Middle East.... It causes nothing but problems.

Indiana or Ohio?
Seriously, that's messed up on every level.

 

[EasternVol]

Looks like the other Arab countries aren’t scared of Iran anymore.

They've been doing that for a while.

 

[Vol8188]

Ask someone that knows more than you. I asked you who established this current government. I assume (rightly) that you are ignorant, which is why you decline to answer or post anything of value.

Yeah….you’re going to have to explain this one to us.

Are you claiming Americans overthrew the American aligned Shah during the Iranian revolution? Do you think we then took our own people hostage too?

No it’s not. Our debt is driven by our welfare state. Not by foreign intervention. If anything our recent military budgets have been in line with or well below historical trends. The difference is the welfare

 

[EasternVol]

... Revelations ?

Really? What does it say about the world helping Iran?

 

[EasternVol]

The mere existence of Christians and Jews is a problem for the Iranian theocracy as well as some other sub-cultures of Islam.

Is that why they hold seats in their parliament for Jewish and Christian representatives?
Which subcultures are those?

 

[EasternVol]

Weird. You respond and intentionally ignore the obvious differences that were pointed out.

Solid work

Those differences don't affect the point.

 

[Vol8188]

Those differences don't affect the point.

They obviously do. One country denied having enriched uranium beyond civilian use. The other openly admits it.

That’s a massive difference.

 

[Carl Pickens]

He or she or it will make sure we dominate. Have faith, they are killers....

Looks like a SNL sketch or maybe some kind of F’ed up punk band

 

[85SugarVol]

The one opinion is a very well qualified one. There's no false pretending other than in your imagination. It's a simple question and it's an important question. You completely discount it because you don't like the implications.

She could have been lying.
She could have been ignorant.

I think either are plausible.

I think it’s also pretty clear what Iran’s intentions have been with their level of enrichment.

I don’t think Tulsi talking out her ass changes what Iran’s actual actions have indicated. Jmo.

 

[Vol8188]

I used to think we should assist, but not sure we should any more. We would basically decouple from China anyways and the world would be chaos..I am just not sure about chips.

I give us zero chance to even win anyways, and even then it would be a pyrrhic victory.

Zero chance to win a direct war with China? You guys tend to vastly over estimate many of these foreign countries. China is old and poor. That’s a terrible combination for fighting a war. On top of that their top ally has their hands full right now

 

[VAVol85]

Is that why they hold a seat in their parliament for a Jewish representative?
Which subcultures are those?

The ones that slaughter Christians whenever they get a chance.

 

[Velo Vol]

Do they have oil? Do they have nukes?

Do y’all enjoy this lie at this point?

The Iranians? No, not them.
Don't confuse terrorists with religious people.

Any second now they'll have 500 warheads on Minuteman missiles all fueled up.
