How much would it cost the U.S. economy if New York City was nuked?
The real war is here.
OH NOES!!! Yinz might have to cut the SNAP and School Lunch programs to afford THAT!
Fight with domestic oil. Take their markets. Send them to the fifteenth century.
We don’t have to go to war with Iran.Iran will go to war with us.As a matter of fact Iran has been at war with us since 1979 when they took hostages at our embassy.
As a result it will be a moot point.We will have to spend whatever it takes to win that war or any war.
The cost of a war with Iran, is not the cost of boots on the ground,something that is unlikely to happen, it is the economic cost of having the Persian Gulf shut down for years. An eventuality we could blunt by building up domestic production of oil and pipelines to Canada, the exact thing our regime is fighting.
The number one trending tag on Twitter right now, and top 10 for the last two days, is #GOPWantsWar
The meme being that by opposing Obama’s Iran deal, the EVIL GOP wants to go to war with Iran.
I'll throw in a few bucks........
If Reagan felt that way we would have never broken the USSR's back.
0bama has shifted military resources from the military to the build up the police state. These resources are being directed to his (and the NWO) real enemy; vets, gun owners, conservatives, libertarians, Christians.
0bama wants a war abroad so he can declare war on his enemies at home.
I don’t take my war planning estimates from a liberal rag like Vanity Unfair. Might as well take financial advice from People magazine.
We are not going to war with Iran.
Iran is a huge country, about the size of Texas. It is will defending and mountainous.
While the people of Iran are open to the west, they will fight like hell if they are being invaded.
Anyway, we do not have the strength to take on Iran. We cannot operate on two fronts anymore. The supply lines would kill us.
The article assumes that war is optional.
War is coming like it or not. The only question is if we will be ready.
It wasn’t a war in Iraq, it was a nation building experiment. We could cut a lot of corners.
Could America afford a war with Japan?
Could America afford a war with Germany?
If we wait too long on this Nuclear Bomb issue, it will be too late to answer that question.
All we have to do is drop nuclear bunker busters on all their nuclear facilities. Leave the mess to the Ayatollahs to clean up. About a week of around the clock bombing of all those facilities with follow-up bombing to make sure ... is all that it will take.
We won’t be anywhere near that dollar figure! Probably less than 5% of that figure!
So why did Bush take out Iraq if Iran is our enemy? Oh yeah, Bush saw Iraq doing mushroom clouds so we went to war. Now the GOP sees mushroom clouds from Iran. Yes, the GOP wants to go to war, well, perhaps all the candidates except Paul, but you can see how Paul’s foreign policy is blasted by the other GOP candidates.
China, Russia and a pile of others have the bomb but they are not as ‘doable’ as Iran [remember how doable Iraq was to Wolfowitz, et al?] So let’s nuke them before they get a bomb. Wonder what Russia and China would do? They plan on bombing Israel but Israel has enough bombs to liquidate Iran without us. Why don’t they?
We don’t need another steenking war. We have been at war for a hundred years in all parts of the world. We are reduced to borrowing money from China. Another war would be existential for us. Up America, Down world policeman.
Well, there certainly will be limits to America’s power if Obama allows Iran to get the bomb and the caliphate to take over the entire Middle Eadtern oil industry.
I thought that Libertarians supported free trade, or is it crony capitalism that Libertarians support?
