Good. Now it’s an increasingly target rich environment. Let’s see if Brandon has the stones to take them out.
MAy the USA strike the Red Guard so hard that they run out of 72 virgins.
Awesome! We’ll have WWIII in time for the election!
Just following Barry Sotero’s (and the Mullahs) orders. Stay tuned…
Why would he shoot his master’s friends?.................
If only we had some kind of buffer against Iran, oh wait, George Bush got rid of him.
“The U.S. believes the IRGC oversaw Hezbollah suicide bombings on American diplomatic and military targets in Lebanon in the 1980s. And the IRGC is accused of training Iraqi Shiite militias in the use of roadside bombs, known as IEDS, that were the largest cause of U.S. military deaths in Iraq. The U.S. government has also claimed that Shahlai oversaw a 2007 IRGC operation in the central Iraqi city of Karbala that resulted in the executions of five American soldiers.”
The IRI is our enemy. They need to seriously pay for all the Americans they’ve killed & wounded. Period.
Show proof.
George W. Bush’s “Islam is peace” speech at the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. six days after 9/11 was disgusting… Bush’s suicidal willful ignorance – or worse - , after 1,400 years of jihad warfare, so many ruined lives, so much bloodshed..
Not saying Saddam was a saint, far from it. But he wasn’t 1/10th of the threat that Iran is.
bkmk
Absolutely correct. Same goes for Gaddafi.
And not so far down the road, our “ally” Turkey will become an ever bigger threat.
Based on the warring between Shia-dominated Iran and Saudi Arabia as bordering neighbor to Yemen -- which still has a small majority of Sunni -- suggests this to be a logical step in the centuries long conflict between these "nice" folks.
The notion that there is much modernity in any of this -- excepting the weapons with which the age-old conflict is being fought -- is perhaps fallacious.
Huntington's thesis of a "clash of civilizations" (1998 book) comes to mind. Its longer title adds "the Remaking of World Order" and that seems an apt observation now. Sunni versus Shia inside of Islam, and Islam against the Christians and the Jews, as has been true for centuries.
*Not saying Saddam was a saint, far from it. But he wasn’t 1/10th of the threat that Iran is/Absolutely correct. Same goes for Gaddafi.*
So why did we pick Saddam to finish off? Gaddafi’s takeout gave us boat people to Europe.
Hindsight is 20-20. What if Saddam ‘was allowed’ to keep Kuwait and threaten the Saudis as ‘41 convinced them? Gotta admit the coalition building was skillful and the overseeing of the USSR’s dispersing their nukes hill never gain him the credit.
Sunni versus Shia = moslems killing each other since the 7th Century.
HW kicked Saddam out of Kuwait - W Bush’s invading Sunni moslem Iraq helped the Shia Mullahs that Jimmy Carter helped earlier.
The Iran agents in the "Biden" regime stopped US support for this operation and forced the Saudis to stop. In return, the Houthis launched missiles against the Saudi and the Gulf States.
Anyone with a brain could see this coming, but those motivated by a desire to appease Iran or Iranian money (or both) neutered deterrence against the Houthis, just like the dropped sanctions against Iran led to massive funding of Hamas and its attack on Israel.
The US has never been weaker and more penetrated by its enemies in my lifetime than it is now, and that weakness has provoked every conflict we are seeing from Ukraine, to Israel to Yemen.
Indeed.
I recall, several years back, a Buddhist monk from Cambodia who observed that the world's religion all have the possibility to live side by side to one degree or another, excepting Islam. His arguments were historical, as well as scripture-related.
