Do you think the U.S. will be at war with Iran before the 2020 election?

@TexChik Iran has repeatedly threatened to 'eliminate Israel from the Earth'. Not sure whether they are really that suicidal.

Israel has nukes ... and will use them . If Israel is attacked the US will
Respond

— I hope so. The US is Israel's only [u]real[/u] friend.

@helenS if they ask for support Trump
Will send a carrier group and Marines

@TexChik Being a keyboard general again I see. Too bad every scenario that has been wargamed results in yet another pointless stalemate. Look up Britain and the Suez Canal. Also even American think tanks agree the days of the aircraft carrier against a real military are over and are expensive show pieces.

@helenS Still repeating that bullshit about Iran threatening to wipe out Israel. Too bad it was debunked ages ago.

@helenS I would check your sources considering the original statement you reference was debunked a decade ago.

@helenS What I mean by check your sources is check who is doing the translation. The first statement you quoted was deliberately mistranslated or more accurately invented by someone with a political agenda. As someone who reads Russian I can tell you Iran is not the only nation regularly misquoted for a political objective.

And even if true posturing and words are not actions. Iran has not attacked anyone in about a century. The USA and Israel have almost turned it into a sporting event.
