Trump says war will mean 'official end of Iran,' warns 'never threaten the United States again'
Fox News ^ | May 19, 2019 | Samuel Chamberlain |

President Trump fired a social media broadside at the Iranian regime Sunday afternoon, vowing that war between Washington and Tehran would result in "the official end of Iran" before warning, "[n]ever threaten the United States again!"

Trump tweeted hours after a rocket landed less than a mile from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, the first such attack since September. An Iraqi military spokesman told reporters the rocket appeared to have been fired from east Baghdad, which is home to several Iran-backed Shiite militias.

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have risen in recent weeks after the Trump administration ordered warships and bombers to the Middle East earlier this month to counter threatened attacks against U.S. interests by Iran or Iranian-backed forces.

You "don't do links anymore"?!? Either you can point to a link, or you can't. Until you can, all you're doing is setting off the BS detector.

I rank democrats more dangerous...at this point. At least when moslems start shooting we can shoot back. Democrats on the other hand are doing their damage without shooting..so far...and have to be fought only with words.

“Militant Islam” is Sunni from KSA as well as Shia from Iran.

You left out the bunker busters for their nuke sites.

I apologize in advance for some strong language.

People have totally forgotten that “war” isn’t what we did AFTER the first month or so in Iraq and Afghanistan.

War isn’t nation building.

I can respect GW’s efforts at doing in the ME what we did with Germany and Japan. Now we see how that worked out.

Blow stuff up and kill the right people, and if a “baby milk factory” sign pops up blows the sh*t out of THAT the next day. Then tell ‘em “This is not war. This is play time compared to what you have coming if you cross us again”.

Will the US media and liberals go apesh*t crazy? Sure. LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY.

Thank you! That needed to be said.

I'm sure Bolton has his heart set on getting us into a fight with Iran, because another ME war would be an awesome distraction from what is going on at our Souther border PLUS it will exacerbate the refugee crisis which can be exploited to further degrade Western Civilization.

So, yeah. The establishment won again.

I don’t care for this. I realized that President Trump favored Israel and was on the wrong side on both Syria and Saudi Arabia. I assumed that with his intelligence and analytic skills, as an outsider to the war machine, he’d get things right once he had access to more information. Iran has no reason to push for war at this time. Saudi Arabia and Israel do.

One newspaper in the Kdm suggested surgical strikes. That’s all that shows up, and it’s from Associated Press. The Saudi gov’t by contrast states that it has the capability to defend itself, a position that is a reiteration of early Saudi policy.

here’s the link:

He said the same thing to North Korea. They have deliverable nukes, so we won’t be attacking them.

Yep that is the saudi plan as I see it too. Causes one to wonder if saudis and iran are actual enemies but instead would rather cause American deaths Advantage to saudis and iran while Americans spill our blood and treasure but should iran attack our people .... I do believe as others here iran would be destroyed

Right now the likelihood is that it would solidify support behind the mullahcracy. By way of parallel, the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s that Saddam Hussein started, in an attempt to grab the Iranian oilfields, accomplished a few different things -- the immediate result being a massive reordering of Iranian society under a brutal Islamic dictatorship. In the longer term, feeding that many into the hungry guns led to a lost generation, a lost bloodline, of pro-mullah fanatics. Those who didn't serve, or didn't serve themselves to the guns at least, have descendants, while the fanatics mostly do not.

Also keep in mind that Arab armies are, uh, by and large, not the best in the world, and Iran's something like three to four times as populous as S.A. The renewal of US sanctions -- a policy that has always been strongly opposed by the mullah advocates, a list that includes Biden, Kerry, Hitlery, and Zero, as well as a few handfuls of FINOs -- undermines the Iranian ability to rule at home. Like the USSR years ago, the military, paramilitary, and terror budget has an insatiable appetite, and most Iranians don't support the regime. Unfortunately the Iranian public has been systematically disamred, and the mullahcracy has for decades propped itself up with "Palestinian" and other detritus that make up the thug forces that occupy Iran.

Iran's mullahs' supporters are easy to identify -- they support the Shiites, Houthi, and Alawi, when obviously, since all muzzies are enemies of this country, they should be in favor of continued war in and among all those countries, along with ZERO immigration of "refugees" (other than Christians fleeing the fighting). Instead, they support open borders, and the dictators and fake religious leaders (terrorists) of those three favoried groups.
