US and Iran conflict thread. ( merged threads)

[spat]

lol, nothing was taken from Mexico. Have you ever read The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo?

Conquered maybe, paid for yes…but where did the Spanish get it from? Oh yeah, they conquered it from the Aztecs.

Don't ask where the Aztecs got it.

There's a reason that every other tribe in the area sided with the Spanish.

"These new guys want to force us to convert to their religion !!!"

"Sure, but at least they don't demand we turn over our children for them to sacrifice every year".

Wasn't discussing geography ... but merely brought up a sarcastic comment someone made that was ironically (and more aptly) applicable to Russia's war in Ukraine where Putin was seeking "a quick victory and regime change" with catastrophic consequences.

While we're at it, congratulations to the war mongers on the Dumbass thread for their quick victory and regime change.

U.S. had the benefit of seeing Russian miscalculation and much less of a reason to start a war with Iran. Russia for all its sacrifice is gaining territory. U.S. is fighting to restore status quo on Straits of Hormuz, which was open to shipping before the war.

Venezuela and Iran have been strategic partners for around 20 years.
I think both military operations are linked.

Yes, yes they are. Uranium. Why would Venezuela ship oil to Iran. Yet tankers were going back and forth.

Sounds like a reasonable guy to negotiate with

A .338 through the skull is a negotiation no?

 

[Saltwater60]

We need to end this or November will be a blood bath.

I would like to congratulate all the war mongers here on quick victory, regime change and nuclear disarmament of Iran.
Lindsey Graham left this world making it a better place without him.

It's the Christian thing to do.

Ya think? We all have seen what the hard core communist leftists do when they take power. When Republicans get it, they sit on their fucking hands! Thats why I feel they serve the same master giving an illusion that we have a choice. Sure there are what we see as wins here and there but they are tiny in the scheme of things. There should be constant perp walks everyday of these Constitution betraying treasonous bastards. They are all criminals.

Iran needs an Ataturk like figure to emerge, put the mullah's in place, and rewrite their version of a constitution separating mosque and state. It will be bloody but seems to be the only way out of the fanatical regime.

Qatar's foreign ministry condemned Iran's attacks on the nations of Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait today.


"The State of Qatar strongly condemns the repeated Iranian attacks on the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the State of Kuwait, considering them a blatant violation of the sovereignty of these countries and a flagrant breach of international law."

"The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar's full solidarity with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the State of Kuwait, and its support for all measures they take to uphold their sovereignty and security," it added.

According to Reuters Iran instructed terrorist proxy Houthis in Yemen to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea if the United States attacks Iranian power infrastructure.

A source close to the Houthis reported missiles and drones had been deployed near the waterway to prepare for a potential order to begin attacking shipping.

Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former British ambassador to Yemen said

"It will be interesting if the Houthis do go all in, and resume their campaign against Red Sea shipping with full intensity. This will draw international anger and likely result in Israeli and U.S. strikes on Sana’a and Hodeida."

"While the Houthis have largely refrained from attacking shipping for about a year, they have continued to advance their maritime capabilities, including missiles, drones and sea mines. They may not be able to fully close the strait, but they could significantly disrupt shipping and raise costs and risks for commercial traffic."
