US may have killed Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani

[KB5252]

one wrong move, one problem and a fly boy has to eject due to mechanical failure over Iran, and we suddenly have an issue on our hands. much better to keep blood out of it.

Reports are right now it is Iraqi airspace. Better odds there for sure.

Brazil has a stronger military

Italy has a stronger military

Either of those two countries scare y’all?

Bomb Iran back into the Stone Age and walk away. None of this nation building stuff.

Troops are so 1990s.

Launch some bombs and play a game of catch thst only goes one way.

Remember singing "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" back in the 80s as a kid in place of Barbara Ann by the beach boys? Lol

Still nothing is cofirnmed but if true Iraqi soldiers ≠ American soldiers.

Of course Iraqi soldiers aren’t equal to Americans, but it’s not exactly “hitting open ground”.

I think you need to turn off Fox News.

Watching MSNBC is what made me feel that.

agree - battlefield engagement is a whole nuther ball of wax. still, war is a long way from select engagement.

my point is that people are immediately assuming we will be in a full blown war with Iran.

John McCain says "hi"

 

[Orange defense]

Rick Scott says that Trump is going to do it. Trump is going to bomb Iran. Rick Scott says be prepared for it, we’re going to protect our soldiers.

I won't bore you with the details of Russia poking the bear and showing their butt either.
We assassinated their general and now their getting their butts handed to them?

Stay on topic, Mick. Changing subjects is a clear sign of a weak argument.

Russia and the U.S. are the two big gorillas in the zoo. Both are wise enough to not start an all-out fight, but there will always be the chest-thumping and manipulation of the smaller gorillas in the pen. Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis?

But Iran is about to learn that they are not...in any way, shape, or form...on par with Russia.

You may be right. Trump probably can’t survive that.

 

[LouderVol]

With a normal president maybe.

With Trump's impulsiveness? I'm not so sure. I don't just mean his personal desire to save face. I'm sure he's probably hearing from people, possibly military leaders in Iraq or here in the US that want to strike back at Iran militarily.

Trump can mess up a wet dream.

killing Soleimani should have been a slam dunk.
getting out of Iraq should have been a slam dunk. heck I think if he had actually peacefully got us out of Iraq he would win 2020 in a landslide.

this tit for tat, or worse, stuff doesn't sell like it used too.

Neither was Iraq, Afghanistan, or Vietnam.

 

[85SugarVol]

Iranian state media is saying if we hit Iran tonight that Hezbollah will undertake attacks against Israel.

The Israelis will F*** them six ways from Sunday

 

[volinbham]

You may be right. Trump probably can’t survive that.

I don't give a crap about whether it helps or hurts him. I'm just making an assessment.

Actually you probably want to turn on FOX and listen to Tucker right now .

 

[lawgator1]

The post you made was saying trump only cares about himself and wants to look tough and blah blah blah. Now you want to act like you were having a legitimate discussion? Come on.

That's the same thing.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Neither was Iraq, Afghanistan, or Vietnam.

Nor was Trump the President for those.

Different coach, different ball game.

 

[615vols]

That's the same thing.

No, you are literally just talking sh** and taking digs at trump. At least own it and stop being a pu*** about it.

 

[LouderVol]

Reports are right now it is Iraqi airspace. Better odds there for sure.

someone going at or above mach speed is going to cross Iraq in a short time. especially if you figure they are engaging forces from Iran the engagements are going to lead there.

Just because our toys and boys are better than theirs doesn't mean things will be bloodless.

Clearly said I wouldn't bore you with it like you did in your response to it. The question I asked was the thing to focus on.

I hope and pray it is so. I am just tired of it all. too many bad or non excuses have been used to keep us fighting in places we shouldn't be.

Yes, what we were missing was an unhinged man who rants on social media every morning.

I don't think you are going to see troops on the ground in Iran. No point to it. The 82nd Airborne is over there as a QRF for U.S. facilities, and nothing more.

What you are going to see, or read about, is missile and airstrikes against every element of the Iranian C3 structure. I don't know when, but it's coming, and when it comes it will be big. Buy stock In Raytheon. They're about to make a lot of money from you as a taxpayer, so you might as well invest in it.

Iran will do all they can to drag Israel into this, to try and make it an "Arabs -vs- The World" fight, much the same as Hussein did. And just like it was with him, it will fail. Remember, the Saudis hate Iran, and they rule the roost in the ME.

There will be terror attacks against U.S. interests and allies. It's coming, so expect it. But Iran has made a serious miscalculation here, and it is going to cost them dearly before it's all over. The Iranian military, and especially it's Command and Control structure, is about to get a lesson in modern warfare.

Buy shares of FSDAX.

You get em all: Raytheon, Lockheed, Nothrup, Boeing, etc...

Vietnam was Russia.

Russian weapons. Russian backing.

Russia getting involved if we moved too far north along with the Chinese.

No doubt there are risks but our birds engage from a great distance. If our birds are in the vicinity they'll exit the theater.
