Iran

[CagleMtnVol]

So that’s why we let their people have so much power over us?

I wasn’t aware they did. They however have been really our only allies in an region of the world that would do us harm.

Not sustainable. How long do you think you can scramble jets and fire off expensive missiles vs swarms of cheap/low tech drones?

US and UK pilots are competent enough to probably just line up and take turns doing gun runs on them. They aren’t maneuvering. This is going to be the air power version of grabbing a roll of quarters and setting up shop on a video game in the arcade.

How dispersed are Hezbollah’s rocket stockpiles?

I’d be thinking real hard about taking em out…. On the ground.

 

[NorthDallas40]

What makes you think Iran has viable hypersonics?

They’ve got world class hypersonic missiles same as Russia does

 

[NorthDallas40]

He’s desperate for this to escalate.

Hoping it takes heat off of his true love man crush.

Or go back about 4000 years.

They also played a huge part in financing the Revolutionary War that established this country right? Last I read, this was why there is a Star of David on the dollar bill and maybe other bills too. The primary financier was named Haym Salomon.

Edit: currently on the back of the dollar bill there is a cluster of stars arranged in the 6 pointed Star of David. Not sure about the other denominations

These monetary releases are the most bizarre thing ever..A leadership that calls for our Death and somehow think they will like us or behave. The strange progressive mind.

We never did hear anything about the peculiar dismissal of the US envoy last year..that was bizarre. It even seems like a cover story for what actually happended. You know how they do it all the time.

Technology has come along way since 1991.

It sure has... outside of The West.

 

[Devo182]

Can someone explain why Israel is held in such high regard in this country?

Religious bias a major part

They also played a huge part in financing the Revolutionary War that established this country right? Last I read, this was why there is at least 1 Star of David on every denomination of American currency bills.

What? Israel was created in 1948.

They are fellow human beings ruled by an elite few. Not evil nations. Evil leaders.

Iran is actually very modern, cosmpolitan, and young. But the old religious leaders rule over the country with an iron fist. Read about them. Individually, they are quite Western and similar to ourselves even. It is the older non-secular portion that ruins it all for a huge, beautiful country.

The North Koreans have been brainwashed over decades by their leaders. Look at South Korea, their own people, but under free leadership...a fine and peaceful people and country.

These are not bad nations of people at all. They just need new leadership, but they're currently under the thumb of rulers that are very hard to circumvent.

They could stand up to their leaders via Revolution but they don't. Their parents put in the current regime.

You could say the same things about Germans and Hitler but fact was, the Germans were evil and complacent.

"Hey, so, just don't bomb Iran's embassy"

Maybe the proper message.

It’s not like we bombed anyone’s embassy in the past.
And it was an ally. The French embassy to be exact.

 

[norrislakevol]

Seriously? Why is their tragedy more superior than anyone else's since 1945?

The Nazis killed 25+ million Soviet citizens. Do you have the same feeling about them?

And the Soviets killed millions too.

100%

I remember talking to a fighter pilot right after it came out the US was putting Stingers on MQ-1s to defend against fighters doing gun runs on them. He says if he got shot down by a UAV he might just not pull the handle and just ride it in he’d be too embarrassed to show his face in the O club. Those things are sitting ducks no defenses.

I wish I could post the video of the Jordanian pilot who was sad when he ran out of drones to shoot down.

[Rasputin_Vol]

Wait... they didn't expect the Houthis to fire back? And when they do, the cut and run? WTF???

Yemen's 'uninhibited' attacks push French warship to exit Red Sea

“We didn’t necessarily expect this level of threat. There was an uninhibited violence that was quite surprising and very significant. [The Yemenis] do not hesitate to use drones that fly at water level, to explode them on commercial ships, and to fire ballistic missiles,” Henry told French news outlet Le Figaro in an exclusive interview published on 11 April.

 

[norrislakevol]

No they can't.


Wait... you want to dismantle their oil sector?

WTF will that do to oil prices?

Have you thought this out throughly?


The US couldn't do jack with the Houthis bombing them to rubble. WTF do you think they will do with the Iranians?




We will see.


I don't think either side should feel comfortable at this point. The Israelis nukes and the Iranians has an obvious advantage in asymmetrical warrfare.

You're going to have to give me specifics on that one. Iran has a very weak air force and a very weak navy. The U.S. could chop them to bits if they wanted to.

That's a hot topic, but it doesn't really matter.

And the Soviets killed millions too.

They sure did. And they are rightly condemned for their murders.

The Chinese murdered more than anyone, particularly with trying to socialize farming. What idiots. Starvation is a terrible way to die.

You're going to have to give me specifics on that one. Iran has a very weak air force and a very weak navy.

But they do have a formidable air defense system and hypersonic missiles that can sink US naval ships. Again, with necessity comes innovation. The Iranians are not going to be able to keep pace with the US in aircrafts because they ate expensive. So the focused on air defense.

The U.S. could chop them to bits if they wanted to.

The US needs to defeat the Taliban and Houthis before I can believe that.

Again, no arguments from me. You are correct.
