GOP Sen. Mullin: We Have to Strike Iran, They’ll Back Down if We Do
Breitbart ^ | 02Nov | Hatchett

Posted on 11/02/2023 3:57:10 PM PDT by qaz123

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) argued that the U.S. needs to strike Iran and that while Iran may bluster, when they’re hit, they back down.

Host Rob Schmitt asked, “What is your take on that idea, you attack Iran, go after them?”

I agree completely that Iran is behind it all.

But.....HAMAS perpetrated the attack. Not the IRGC. Not the Iranian military.

Want to cripple Iran, stir up some protests and get the people to revolt. Like they wanted to do under Soetero but he offered them zero help.

We attack them militarily and that’s it. WW3 on an epic scale.

First thing that happens is Erdogan becomes an enemy and unleashes millions of muslims into Europe.

Iran uses it’s flying monkeys (proxies) to fight. They do not want to dirty their own hands. A direct attack by the US might be effective.

“An unprovoked attack on Iran would solidify the Muslim world against us and Israel.”

_________________________________

The USA deliberately planned these escalations in Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel. We had help too, from NATO, Japan, and Israel.

That doesn’t mean Russia, Iran, and China are not just as ready for WWIII as we are. They see this pathetic administration for the weakness it is and these circumstances for the opportunity they present.

Everyone of these nations are itching to finish this reset to see who ends up ruling the whole world.

Those unwilling to fight the enemy need to spend their lives cleaning the latrines of those that do.

The targets they hit were selected by the Biden administration. Biden will do nothing substantial and in fact interfere, once again extending a conflict that Trump was in the process of ending.

And then what?

What are the potential ramifications?

WW3...the numerous terror cells that the FBI admits are operating in this country go buck wild...oil prices through the roof and economies shutting down....muslims around the world uniting as one fighting force to destroy everything....they admit the hezbollah is operating in Mexico and South America.

All while Netanyahu and his buddies kick back with a nice bourbon and cigar, laughing at how the US did their dirty work

Again...It would be wonderful if the Iranian mullahs and government leadership were wiped off the map. Let them all get in planes like Solemani did and blow them out of the sky or have a drone hit them. Attacking the country? Taking out their oil infrastructure?

C’mon...take a breath and stop wishing for war EVERYWHERE!!

100% correct.

Those targets were no different than the ones that Clinton “targeted” back in the day.

And hope they do it and do it in such a way that the world will be forced to take a step back and wonder if the “collective next move” is worth it.

The terror cells let in by Biden will go “Buck Wild” no matter what happens. They are sworn to destroy America.

I do not want war “everywhere” we never should have gotten involved in Ukraine. It’s a war with no end in sight.

We may need to take out Iran’s nuclear facility, thanks to Obiden’s no door policy. I would not be surprised if a terrorist cell had a nuclear weapon already on US soil.

Most Middle East nations are scared to death of Iran and would not miss them.

Posting on FR is not fighting the enemy. You aren’t fighting any enemy. Instead, You demand other people fight in your place. You risk nothing, but would gladly have American soldiers shed blood. But you aren’t willing to shed blood yourself. That makes you a hypocrite and a bloodthirsty POS.

“strike Iran”

Iran will make more centrifuges and put them 1000 feet underground, immune from further strikes.

Iran has lots of loudmouthed, stupid people, but it is not clear that they actually run the country.

The US should not make Iran into a enemy because we actually harmed the country.

[Most Westerners, and FReepers in particular, have little to no understanding of the Arab mindset or values. Not saying they’re bigots or ignorant. They just don’t know because they live within a civilized culture and nation and project their own biases upon the rest of the world because that’s all they know.

They do not understand history or dynamic borders where backing away from an aggressor is not only an admission of weakness but an admission of being in the wrong. It incites more frequent and fervent attacks. The attacker not only believes in his strength but in his right to attack and the defenders indefensible position.

This is nothing new. Anyone who’s studied American Colonial history recognizes the Israeli-Arab conflict from early settlers’ dealings with native Americans. Walls were imperative and any sign of weakness invited attack as in “if you cannot defend your territory and towns we will take them from you as you have no right to them.”

This has been the way of the world from the dawn of time until all but the last few decades.]


Indeed. I don’t think it’s just Arabs. Countries not part of the Anglo-American world pay lip service to its view that borders are settled, and that territorial expansion for personal or national glory are passe. But only the Anglo-American realm truly views this principle as holy writ. I wouldn’t be surprised if the day Uncle Sam pulls his horns in and finally kiboshes the ocean-going fleets, various countries begin probing their neighbors in force. And not just the obvious candidates like China and Russia. India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Egypt, Iran, et al - all have very traditional ambitions that go way beyond their borders.

Other than my posts, you know nothing about me.

You, however, advocate protecting Iran, which would only extend the conflict and its misery and ultimately costing more lives.
