Boom!
People are such Soy Boys now they have no idea how to handle a bully.
Good. But gambling is illegal here at FR Bushwood.
Entrants could agree to pay toward the FReepathon.
Is that a charity or a form of gambling? Have to hire a board of commissioners to arbitrate. Maybe this is how Big Government got started. The contest is off.
Major Matt. I put nothing past them. I mean nothing. I am not talking about Bolton. Hes not the problem. You are thinking on a linear plane.
Iran fought Iraq for 10 years and it ended in a stalemate. It took us about a week to lay waste to the Iraqi army. Does that give you an idea of Iran’s chances?
Winning the battles would not be hard. Occupying and consolidating is another matter entirely.
Certainly Trump makes his share of noise.
I don’t not like the threats of war without telling us what’s going on. How can Satellite images showing stuff be classified? They are pictures for God’s sake.
I hate when this shit happens. Whatever happened to speak softly and carry a big stick.
You ever played poker with a Persian? I have.
It's hard for the average American to understand but we have been at war with Mexico for most of 30 years. And Mexico is the most corrupt Country in the world and the constant movement of drugs and people across our border, that some States are little Mexico, like California.
We don’t have to occupy and consolidate anything. We don’t even have to overthrow the government. All we have to do is make sure they can’t threaten their neighbors for a generation or two plus make them pay us for the money we spent destroying them.
Who won?
That could be done in more effective ways than putting American troops in harm’s way, which Trump promised to avoid. Arm, train and advise the Akhwazis and the Kurds, Balluchis and forward-thinking Iranians. Recognize the newly-emerging states of Akhwazistan (where the Iranian oil fields are!), Greater Kurdistan and Balluchistan. Encourage a democratic movement in Tehran itself. It’s their country. Let them fight for it. White man’s burden, my a$$.
He did at first. I started learning pretty fast, we robably broke even.
Persians are tenacious. They are not Arabs—culturally they are much tougher.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
‘I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f#%$ with me, I’ll kill you all.’
General James Mattis, USMC
We owe them big time for the time during the Carter Administration when Carter did nothing and they knew it. The 444 days our embassy crew were held hostage would not have been if it had been any other president. However, that still sticks in a lot of people’s craw.
Do you remember when Obama tried to be tough with the Republicans regarding the possibilities that the republicans vote against voting against raising the debt ceiling? Obama obviously doesn't understand poker. He said to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor: "Don't call my bluff."
You can’t sacrifice the young-uns to settle a score that happened long before they were born. That’s not a good reason to send them off to war now. A free and independent Akhwazistan would put an end to Iranian ambitions once and for all. The Akhwazis have the oil fields, and all they get from Iran for them is pollution, cultural suppression and political oppression. They’re ethnically and linguistically Arabs, and due to their bad treatment, many of them are converting from Shia to Sunni Islam, and being persecuted for that, too. Help the Akhwazis break free, and you’ve cut off Persia’s balls most thoroughly. Independent Kurdistan and Balluchistan would be icing on the cake.
We should have gone into Iran during the second Iraq war, while we had the men and equipment already over there.
I was going to respond but I should not say what I was going to say. Many weak people that do not know the art of projecting strength with the courage to carry through with action.
