They can't be trusted. There is no reset button ever invented that would ever make them a trustworthy ally in any venture. Depending on them will only result in disappointment and partnering with them will only result in betrayal.

Even now they claim they will sit back and munch on popcorn but we both know that if we get into open war with Iran they will conspire and support them behind our backs. If they are on our side they will have access to our plans and intelligence with they will promptly relay to the enemy, so what would be the point?

A huge crowd in Iraq's capital Baghdad is taking part in a funeral procession for the Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a US air strike on Thursday.

His body is to be returned to Iran for a funeral and burial in his home town.

Shame "somebody" didn't send "something" to the funeral too.

Trump wanted to send a Boeing 737 Max to the president of Iran to make atonement for the slaughter of their general, but Congress wouldn't approve of it

The US is self-sufficient with a lot of additional capacity, it's not a lifeline to us.

When a covert extraterritorial team starts this kind of action on an American embassy, a decisive strike where it hurts is called for.

Iran is going to find out when you punch Trump, he punches back - hard.

Of particular interest is the lack of a crater or 'collateral damage' to surrounding area of the vehicles struck by raptor drones-note today's photo W.S.J.: lack of scorching on wall art etc.

... a merciful hit by any standard??!!

probaby by use of the flying ginzu missile designed to prevent such. The Hellfire R9X, also known as the “Flying Ginsu” after the knives advertised in campy infomercials, kills its enemies by flying directly at them, popping out several steel blades at the last moment to slice its targets into bits.

NOTE: I SEE SOME DISCREPANCIES OUR IRAQI FRIENDS ARE PUBLICISING; ALLEGEDLY A PHOTO OF THE BURNING CAR FROM A 30 & 160 DEGREE ANGLE....BUT NOW THERE'S NO ART WORK ON THE WALL AND THERE'S SPORADIC BLAST DAMAGE WHERE THE (UNDAMAGED?)ART HUNG ON THE WALL ...???

Nothing but a though. Shouldn't this Crisis between USA and Iran have its own threaed. A crisis who highly will end with a war between these two countries Markus

Mr Quatro · 01-04-20, 02:26 PM

Build Embassy's with C-130 gunship's guns hidden on the inside walls ...

They will think twice about that

I think that's a good idea.

There have been so far three attacks on American military and their ambassady in Iraq.

Now I wonder was this what Iran meant by a harsh revenge or is it only the beginning.
or was it an attack by Hisbollah who made the decision on their own.

It's an attack on USA, it is not what a would call a big punch in their face

What kind of response can we expect ?

Secondly
I'm pretty sure that these strong statement we have heard from the Iranian leaders and leaders of RG are not aimed at the American, but towards their own people.

Well the President has just declared his intent to bomb Iranian cultural sites.

Then said he doesn't want any more threats.

Great minds at work.

Rockstar · 01-04-20, 06:36 PM

I dont foresee any grand escalation or invasion. I think we will just beef up security at our embassies and prepare to respond to any further threats.

In regards go the Straits of Hormuz I agree with Onkle its not that vital for us but it most certainly is for others. I'm guessing Denmark falls under 'other'

EIA estimates that 76% of the crude oil and condensate that moved through the Strait of Hormuz went to Asian markets in 2018. China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore were the largest destinations for crude oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz to Asia, accounting for 65% of all Hormuz crude oil and condensate flows in 2018

Trump himself? I don't think he is the man up for that job.
He insults via Twitter, looks at the physical reaction and then calls for others to retaliate.
If ever the world leaders would go in personally for it, now wouldn't that be something!

Yes i know, Iran is not to be trusted. Question is why you/the US should not turn this to their advantage instead of.. this.

President Trump is still POTUS which means he is still Commander in Chief which means you don't mess with America.

I care more what the enemy think the US will do if they retaliate ... Surely they know how close to WWIII this really is.

I was told 10 years ago that Iran will find out why we call our fighter planes Hornets
