Will the US Get Sucked Into Israel-Iran Incoming War?
IWB ^ | Chris Black

Posted on 05/10/2018 1:28:01 PM PDT by davikkm

There’s a major war brewing in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. It is now getting nasty and ugly, and for the first time, Iranian rockets hit Israel mainland targets. After President Trump decided to withdraw the US from the Iran nuclear deal, within hours of his decision, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu, fearing a massive buildup of Iranian forces that have been taking place in Syria over the last several months, began to “retaliate” (read attack them on sovereign Syrian territory) via massive missile and air-strikes, pounding positions held by Iranian soldiers (Iran has a mutual defense treaty with Syria by the way) south of Damascus and near Aleppo. Iranian and Syrian fighters were killed and missile sites were destroyed. In retaliation and in response to Israel’s aggression, last night Iran’s Quds force (part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards) who are operating outside Iran, launched over 70 missiles and rockets from Syria over targets in Northern Israel. Israel deployed the Iron Dome, their anti-missile defense system, and they were able to intercept and destroy some of the rockets fired by Iranian forces, but not all.

“Iran funds both Hamas and Hezbollah.

[Think of them as penny stocks. Iran is making an investment for possible regional influence on the cheap.]

Hamas and Hezbollah lob missiles at Israel.”


If someone funded terrorist movements to lob missiles at our cities, would we just just attack those terrorist movements? Or would we strike at the head of the snake?

As you you are an idiot studying to be a moron and failing.

Your ignorance on this topic is total. You have yet to make a single factually accurate statement.

Take you bigoted ignorance and crawl back into Mom’s basement with it boy. The adults no longer have time for your hysteric infantile ignorant behavior.

“That’s 40, 50 and even 65 years ago.

One needs to forgive. It is a Christian virtue.”


If we stuck with New Testament exhortations, Christianity would exist only in the history books. It’s our repeated references to the passages about what was done to the Amalekites that fueled our victory over the heathen scum that would have killed us to the last man, woman and child. It certainly wasn’t the influence of the New Testament that led to our incineration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

That would make the Vietnam protests look like a sunday school picnic. Hell NO!!

The Vietnam war lasted for years with no end game. Iran is the terrorist bully of the middle east and no friend to the Saudis, Egypt and Jordan......Any war started by Iran would not last 6 months either with or without U.S. assistance....and it could possibly put an end to the Palestinian's attacks on Israel as well........

Great article!! Very honest and balanced.

Yes, this is a swell article. The answer is no, the USA doesn’t need to be drawn in. Israel can turn Iran into smoldering ruins all by itself.

No the U.S. Will not be involved because the war won’t last long enough. Israel will send the mullahs to hell before they can blink.

The Indians have purchased AH-64’s, C-17’s and C-130’s, as well as a number of other systems I don’t quite recall.

You are a freaking idiot. You spew nonsense constantly and it is quite obvious you have no idea WTF you are talking about. You have no clue on what our capabilities are concerning the dreaded Russian defensive weapon systems that have you wetting your panties.

You have an agenda here at FR. Your posts make that very clear.

Uhhh.....it’s not okay for there to be dead people just because they aren’t US citizens. In truth, it’s a disgusting attitude, not much different from the mentality of ISIS.

“Uhhh.....it’s not okay for there to be dead people just because they aren’t US citizens. In truth, it’s a disgusting attitude, not much different from the mentality of ISIS.”


The mentality of ISIS is that anyone who will not accept Islam should be enslaved or killed. How is our defenestration of Gaddafi anything like ISIS’s mentality? Our rationale was that he had killed hundreds of Americans in the past and was in the midst of slaughtering rebels of various motivations who shared one thing - they were opposed to his rule. So we leveled the playing field by grounding his air force.

Did we send masses of holy warriors into Libya to enslave or kill anyone who will not accept Christianity? No.

The fact is that any turnover of power in the wake of the fall of a dictator will involve a struggle between contending factions for the hot seat. Sometimes, that struggle is peaceful. But a great deal of the time, it is not. Libyans have many issues to work out, and it will be some time before they figure out a balance of interests that everyone can live with. In the interval, they will fight until the losing factions admit defeat.

And of course a bunch of Iranians flew those planes on 9/11...that’s what the propaganda being spread about is designed to lead us to believe.

Some think its best to let the various factions of Islam like the Saudi and Iranian folks and what not fight this out among themselves.
