Israel Appears Ready to Attack Iran, Officials in U.S. and Europe Say

[QUOTE=ShawkFactory;15015486]Are you REALLY using that analogy? :lol

So weak, man. Go back and look at when and why we entered the war. For several years the mindset is no, it wasn't our region or our business. Until something very specific happened to us at the hands of one of the axis powers that you may or may not recall...[/QUOTE]


Are you referring to Pearl Harbor? Well, that was the Japanese, son. But why did we go to France and England and Germany to defeat the Germans? Not our region. Not our war.

You should probably watch a few more WWII documentaries :lol

Or better yet, read a few books. A lot more detail in those.

[QUOTE=ShawkFactory;15015487]Short answer? No, not really. Especially if you don't believe that we are borderline controlled by them.

As it is though, tt would perhaps hurt us internally (and thus externally) because many of the powers that be in this country are intertwined with Israel and if we let that happen shit would go down.[/QUOTE]

Okay I'll bite. Let's say Israel is really running the show and that they have their hooks in Trump and all the top U.S. officials. What does Israel have to gain by starting WW3? Don't they jeopardize themselves as well? What's their brilliant plan then?

Genuinely asking here.

Who said they'd want that?

I don't know what their plan is, but it certainly doesn't benefit us.

Isn't that literally what everyone is saying?

If the risk of WW3 is off the table, what's the problem then? Why wouldn't US/Israel take this opportunity to strengthen their position and strike a powerful blow to one of it's enemies?

so trump is likely going to go through with it


[QUOTE]BREAKING via ABC NEWS

“President Donald Trump is getting comfortable with the idea of taking out Iran's Fordo nuclear facility. It would not be just one strike on the facility, it would be several. There is now a movement to get ready for this.”[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Trump pressed aides on whether the bunker-buster plan to bomb Iran's Fordow nuclear facility will work. Pentagon officials told him they were confident it would.

its wild that the entire premise of this conflict is blatantly false and actually just a projection, bc israel actually has nukes and has proven to be more reckless than iran. :facepalm

Nope. It's the same damn reason why we aid our allies today. To never allow a country like Nazi Germany to move on other nations like that again.

The dumbest take ever. The people of Iran want their leadership deposed. You're supporting a terrorist state that oppresses its people. How are you so twisted on this issue that you're supporting Iran??

ahhh yes. according to western media. i wonder who controls them. :rolleyes:

So Iran is the hero in your story?

[QUOTE=Baller234;15015455]Who gives af what other countries think? Who says there's honor in war when dealing with a hostile enemy? Those countries are not our allies. There are already plenty of countries in the region eager and willing to do business with us and none of them give a shit about Iran. We go through leaders every 4-8 years so deals are expected to be renegotiated.

US/Israel isn't engaging in this war purely out of virtue, I would never assume that, but dealing a powerful blow to the anti-western radical Islamic power structure IS a bonus and a net positive for the world. The question is at what cost. If the cost is too high then I imagine everyone will turn on Trump, but if the cost is barely noticeable you might see the opposite. Long term it could cement his legacy.[/QUOTE]

nah, iran was just provoked after being accused of being close to having a nuke for the 100th time (netanyahu has been making that claim since the 90s btw, there's video). israel attacked them and started this conflict. israel has killed like 70 palestinians in the past 24 hours btw, unarmed civialians.

you're an idiot though so i will end this here.

The meme you shared was clearly intended to frame Iran as the hero.
