Ambitious Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Iran is pumping out its chest, but attacking a US base was/is beyond idiocy. As I said yesterday, America are the most dangerous military in the world - and they answer to one of the most unbalanced people in the entire country. Iran, good luck, you're going to need it.

Hope people aren't losing their lives thanks to the senile moron in the Whitehouse. How can no one with any experience or knowledge be allowed to make such decisions? America is a joke. Was you concerned about people losing their lives when it was at the hands of the Iranians and the terrorist organisations they support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 19 hours ago, ramit said: You said Soleimani was responsible for deaths of hundreds of British and Americans. Who your friends are and what they've said is neither here nor there. It is for you to prove your assertion, if you cannot, which i know you cannot, i will call it a lie until you produce some real evidence. Iraq was invaded on false pretenses, the western military units stationed there are invaders and are legitimate targets. Cry into your uniform about it all you want, but that's the reality, it is war and it's ugly. That Soleimani is responsible for deaths of hundreds of military invaders of Iraq is a ridiculous claim however. Killing him and two high ranking Iraqi officials has unified opposing forces in Iraq and Iran and now the Iraqi parliament has voted to request all foreign troops leave the country. Tactically, it was a bad move. The sad consequence of this is that iraq will be even more destabilised now and the people will be fearing for their lives once again, it’s times like these that should remind us that we must be grateful for what we have. The people of Iraq have been to hell and back, they never catch a lucky break. Soleimani was one of those helping to keep isis and the taliban in check. Doing this will inevitably lead to their rise again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 There are no winners here, apart from the terrorist organisations such like ISIS and the Taliban who will now rise again, and will be licking their lips at Soleimani’s killing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm only concerned about troops losing their lives when their bases are struck with missiles. I'm fine with them been killed by terrorists though. What a stupid question. I assume you were against western forces working with these same Iranians when Isis were been stopped? I assume you were pro America supporting Iraq with chemical weapons so they could kill thousands of Iranians back in the day? I assume you will support whatever Trump does as at least he is against the real menace of identity politics. I'd rather see a devastating war in the middle east, as long as people remain free to mock and march against minorities in the west. It's a small price to pay.

Highgate Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 It seems that there are no casualties as a result of the missile attacks. According to early reports anyway. This may be a chance for de-escalation. Iran can claim (in Iran) that this was sufficient revenge for Soleimani and the US can consider the attacks ineffective and brush them off. And everyone can put this episode behind them, with the only long-term effect being the Iranian regime will have gained more support at home and domestic protests in Iran will subside for some time. These non-lethal missile attacks could be the best thing that could have happened. Too optimistic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Sadly the only solution to these kind of problems is talk. But of course if you talk to "terrorists" you're a commie pinko like Corbyn. How did the war on the IRA work out, did we destroy them in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This president throws the word 'weak' around quite a lot, without every explaining what he means. I suspect talking to the other side counts as 'weak'.
