@CedricH Yes. The senior statesmen and policymakers claim that Iran has always been the aggressor in the Middle East, and that Israel is a peaceful land flowing with milk and honey, very much in the Biblical sense. Which is why they dare not criticise.
I am proud to stand against them at this point.

You set a low bar but I agree with your statement

How is this possibly his finest hour? Going to a war with a country that does not have nuclear weapons, or indeed is not even building one as confirmed by his own intelligence services??

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

@TheBatQueen Joe Biden chose to surrender to the Taliban. Our military did not. And he did so against the advice of every leading military commander at his disposal. In doing so he also sacrificed the lives of 13 brave souls.

Iran are just weeks away from obtaining nuclear weapons " Israel and US have been saying that since 2009 😑

@TheBatQueen Their allies are diminished, that’s one of the reasons why the moment for this campaign was so opportune. I wholeheartedly agree with your first half sentence though 👍🏻

@TheBatQueen Russia and North Korea will do nothing. They’re weak and overextended as it is.
Hezbollah has been defeated last autumn. They‘re but a pitiful shadow of their former selves. Hamas is virtually extinct. What remains are a group of ragtag terror cells scattered and leaderless in the catacombs beneath the rubble in fewer and fewer sectors of Gaza.
The Houthis have been degraded by months of intense US-Israeli air strikes. They eventually begged the US government for a reprieve. However, should they fire a single missile or drone at US military installations, that reprieve would end instantaneously.

Only problem left is how many Iranians came across the border with intentions…
CedricH · 22-25, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I hope it’s the long tormented Iranian people who will bring them to justice.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I agree, their time has just run out.

What for? Bombing a country that has in the last 200 years not attacked another state?
CedricH · 22-25, M
@BabyLonia The IAF attacked a compound next to the consulate which housed a high ranking Iranian military-intelligence official who was actively planning and coordinating ongoing attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah et al on Israel at the time. That made him a legitimate target and any Iranian response to that targeted assassination against the State of Israel, therefore, wasn’t covered by self-defense. Neither was Iran‘s October attack. If you harbor terrorists who are at war with Israel, you open yourself up to precise, proportionate, and legal attacks aimed at these specific individuals such as Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Unless, of course, you think it was illegal for the US to go after the Taliban post-9/11 for sheltering and otherwise aiding Al Qaeda.

Will you ever write a sane opinion? You embody everything that is wrong with politics.

Only if we do not go into war and watch our economy collapse. Not so fast. ☺
CedricH · 22-25, M
@Zonuss Deporting working residents of the United States en masse, authorizing additional multi-trillion dollar deficit spending, and fighting a protracted global trade war are all greater risks to the US economy than a few weeks of airstrikes in the Middle East.
Just to put things into perspective.

Is Iran hiding their nuclear weapons in the same place Iraq was hiding their WMDs?
CedricH · 22-25, M
@basilfawlty89 Iran, just like Iraq, doesn’t possess nuclear weapons. The US did find the components that were necessary and sufficient for Saddam Hussein‘s reactivation of Iraq‘s temporarily dormant WMD programs.
Iraq had:
1. Trained scientists and engineers who had worked on the earlier nuclear program.
2. Dual-use equipment that could support a nuclear effort.
3. Documentation and design know-how from earlier efforts.
4. A desire (on Saddam’s part) to someday resume the program if sanctions ended.
U.S. intelligence analysts and postwar investigators did assess that Iraq retained some of the technical expertise and infrastructure that could, in theory, allow it to restart its nuclear weapons program at a future date

@CedricH but still no WMDs. Which after Saddam, what happened? Oh, right! ISIS!
Which only led to mass slaughter of Assyrians and Yezidis. No biggie, right?

@basilfawlty89 A big biggie. And completely avoidable had Obama not foolishly and against the advise of Bush administration officials, Obama’s own intelligence and military advisers and against the advise of most Iraq experts in D.C withdrawn all US forces from Iraq by 2011 and had he not refused to negotiate a comprehensive status of forces agreement with Iraqi PM Nouri al Maliki.
