I hope not. We don’t need to be. All we need to do is supply the Israelis with the best weaponry in the world - they’ll know what to do with it.

There’s a major war brewing in the Middle East between Iran and Israel.

I'm quite sure your blog isn't the best place to learn about it.

Iran is a cowardly country. Their nose was bloodied, and bloodied bad. Trump has shown he’s not afraid to go overboard either. No such thing as a fair fight.

In short, Israel stepped up to a bully face to face and kicked their butt. I think ‘67 and ‘73 is still fresh in the minds of them all there.

If there is a war, Israel will take over more territory, with Trump’s blessing. There will no one to stop them this time.

You might also see the other Arab countries coming in behalf of Israel to fight the Iranians and Russians.

It’s time to deal with Iran once and for all now - not later. We should’ve gone there instead of Iraq to start with, IMO. The Iranian people want to be rid of the mullahs.

Europe will side with Iran, as they sell too much stuff to them.

Nothing but anti-Israel swill.

The U.S. has been in a low-level to moderate conflict with Iran ever since Carter! Whimpering retreats and HUGE CASH APPEASEMENT PAYMENTS have bought us NOTHING! With IRAN posing a threat to a number of Nations in the Middle-East..., they have few local friends and many enemies. There is a war brewing there regardless of what we do! ODUMBO chose to ignore the uprisings in Iran at the behest of his "Advisors".... We will pay the price for his incompetence (or treason?)

Some Iranian politicians like to exercise their mouths.

They are basically the equivalent of Maxine Waters.

“Death to America” must have a pleasing ring when pronounced in Farsi.

Remember, most Iranians are sensible people.

Not too many Muslims actually care a great deal about Palestinians. The Palestinians made a mess of Jordan in 1970:

Will journals with ‘investment’ in the name continue to generate conservative click-bait?

We’re not about to invade Iran. Impose a no-fly zone on Iran, maybe. But I wouldn’t call that a major war. More a matter of plinking away at Iranian assets until their air defenses are gone. After which the nuclear facilities are destroyed one by one along with any military hardware they use in order to challenge this no-fly zone. Think Desert Storm without the ground engagements. Unless the Iranians want to come out and play, in which case our guys would kill them by the tens of thousands.

“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’”

The mere presence of troops in a country that has invited them in is not in itself a justification for a deadly response.

It is not proper to bomb either Russians or Iranians in Syria except upon the request of the Syrian government.

I doubt anything more than weapons etc.

We took a class trip to Mobile in 1972 or early 73. As part of the trip we visited the state docks.

When we got there the area around the docks were covered with tanks etc. I would guess at least in the hundreds maybe more.

Our professor sent me and a guy named Barry Diamond who is now a comedian, to ask what was going on. We went to the first ship which had someone handy. They were going to Israel.

Diamond and I pulled a fast one on the Prof. We first told him they were going to the IRA. To our amazement, he believed us. Then we told him the truth.

After President Trump decided to withdraw the US from the Iran nuclear deal

President Trump could have done nothing if there had been a deal.

If Iran wants a war with the US they will get it unless the US returns to the grovelling cowardly Obama diplomacy, then Iran may just let us pay them for the privilege of the not making war on us. They are madder than hatters and wouldn’t flinch to drop something on us or our forces and then see what happens. War or a big pay day for them.

A USA Today story says an Iranian drone entered Israeli airspace in February. An Israeli F-16 retailed by attacking Syria and was shot down.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/02/11/syria-explained-why-u-s-iran-russia-israel-and-turkey-have-all-poked-their-noses-tiny-countrys-civil/327383002/

So because of a drone two counties are fighting.

It is ridiculous.

The Bible tells people to turn the other cheek so small insults don’t result in big, nasty problems like a war.

I could see us getting “sucked in” if Iran does something to our forces in the Persian Gulf. Iran might want to look at what’s going on with North Korea right now. Make Iran Great Again?
