“I’m only 35, yet I remember a time when a piss ant country like Iran would never even attempt such an act. But then again, our ruling class has allowed Iran to be more powerful than they need.”
You might want to research some history re Iran.
Like when they seized our Iranian embassy and held our people prisoner until Reagan was elected.
Of course we had a pro Islamic president at that time, Jimmy Carter.
Since they overthrew the Shaw, Iran has been a piss ant rogue country.
That was about that time I was born (1979), so I stand by my “I remember” statement ;)
That is however a perfect example. Iran knew the peanut farmer would merely huff and puff, so they took their chance to show how strong they’d grown. It took Reagan to put them back in their place.
