Israel attacks Iran UPDATE: Trump claims a cease fire among all countries

[Frozenbeernuts 2,235]

There is nothing that gets Netanyahu more excited than seeing bombs drop on his own people. Every one that hits is another reason to blast Iran into nothingness. His citizens screams are what rock him to sleep at night with the promise of sweet retribution to follow.

I imagine something similar happened to US politicians during 9/11, when most of us went through stages of complete horror many times during and after that day.

Iran lost control of air space of Tehran and got rolled quicker than we rolled Iraq.

I missed this post earlier but it’s not very smart. Iran has twice the population of Iraq, 6 times the land area, and incredibly more resources. There is a reason we have never tried to invade Iran. (Among other things, Iran if it chose could block the Strait of Hormuz, threatening the entire world’s supply of oil. 
 

Israel does not have the ability to invade Iran. We do, theoretically, but it would take millions of men and lead to mass casualties. It would not be easy at all. 

Just so we're clear, do you think my post was about invading Iran?

President Donald Trump recently blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

Chances this leak wasn't intentional is pretty low.  It's a tap on the shoulder as a reminder, you're dead the moment we say you are.

Trump yesterday:

"“We’re not involved in it. It’s possible we could get involved,” 

 

Will @RLLD argue today that the US is staying out of it yet? Will he come in and admit he had no clue about what I was talking about the other day? Will he watch FOX News in the 8am hour to get his talking points for the day?

I'm definitely not in the business of defending @RLLD, but given his profession, it may be possible that he is aware of things that we are not, and that he cannot talk about.

Or he might be FOS.

I would disagree that it's the point.  I would like to say that the point is to share opinions, perspectives and experiences, but considering how toxic this particular forum is, I would agree that it is common place here, on both sides.  It's just that the left is correct a lot more than the right.

Fair enough.  Unfortunately many here only want to “share” perspectives with people that already agree with their preconceived notions.

Do not confuse me with how YOU behave.  If Trump changes his approach and instead gets us involved then I do oppose that. Pretending that i think as you do, will not work.  Reserve that level of hypocrisy for yourself, do not pull me into your cultish devotion to a political party.

So you've chosen to just pretend you weren't caught in lies again?

You were wrong the other day on this and ran away. Then you were wrong on why I called you out for just parroting Gutfield on FOX and you ran away. And I have no "cultish devotion to a political party." I just like to call out hypocritical a$$holes on a message board when they deserve it.

Khomeini is dead. Maybe. Not confirmed.

Huge development if it bears out to be true.  In the fog of war sometimes there are mistakes or inaccuracies reported.

[Engorgeous George 2,282]

Has an Ayatollah been killed in recent times by war?  Aren't they supposed to be revered and with special status?  Might the killing of an Ayatollah galvinize at least hardliners?  I need to see if there is any comparxable example, not that such would absolutely predict reaction to this, but it might provide some insight.

I can't think of any off the top of my head. I do think if he is truly dead it could cause a lot more unrest. Also, I'd be shocked if Iran didn't have some semblance of a succession plan in effect if something like this happened.

It looks like they do.  Leadership would devolve to a council until a new supreme leader is chosen.  I wonder if those on such a presumptive council have all survived these initial air attacks.
