Just wondered what you all thought about this.

[Carry_Okie]

After Afghanistan, can you blame them?

[Gen.Blather]

One hundred percent predictable. That’s why the assault will come from Diago Garcia.

[Vermont Lt]

The Arab states don’t want the jihadis blowing up their oil ports.

But, they will secretly jump for joy if the Ayatollahs are killed.

[HombreSecreto]

Diego Garcia / Aircraft Carriers / Israel?

Should be enough to pose a credible threat to the mullahs.

[for-q-clinton]

And we’ll use bigger bombs because of it :-)

[central_va]

Iran is hard to get to. It’s situated like Asia’s prostate gland.

(Saudi Arabia)

I believe that Sheba and Dedan are part of them

If Iran were able to detonate a nuclear weapon over Israel 🇮🇱 I would guess that the fallout will drift towards Saudi Arabia (?)

Here I was planning on vacationing in Tehran this summer 🌞 too

[DesertRhino]

The entire reason for the Houthi’s war is that Saudi Arabia attacked the Houthies. Knocking out them is doing it on behalf of Saudi Arabia. Typical. We’re doing it on the behalf of Gulf states and the Saudi’s, and they make it hard on us.

[PGR88]

Whatever happened to “not getting involved in useless ME wars?”

Not a lotta info there.

Hmmmmm...

Wonder if they were getting any USAID money,..?

[P8riot]

Make sure you use a high enough SPF.

[Lauren BaRecall]

Seriously, I think it needs a better title. When I first read it, I thought of the Gulf of America, Louisiana and Mississippi.

[SaveFerris]

I’m thinking 2 Million Sunblock

It’s what Sarah Connor recommended for Los Angeles anyways

[teeman8r]

our drones could be based in those gulf states... git er dun.

[jjotto]

It’s a Qatar - Al Jezeerah outlet.

[dforest]

Other countries look out for their own interests. Maybe they don’t want war with Iran.

Neither do I.

[piytar]

After Afghanistan, can you blame them?

Not really. But Trump is not Biden. That said the idiot American electorate picked Biden before and they might pick another idiot again.

[dforest]

I would prefer focusing on MAGA. No wonder neocons are quiet. They like war.
