Ezekiel 38 and 39 is interpreted by many to refer to an attempted invasion of Israel by Russia and its allies.

God comes to the defense of His people and incinerates those who invade them and He does use the vultures to clean up the mess.

Israel and Russia are very friendly these days. Iran is the odd man out for the foreseeable future.

Bullshit! Russia and the ChiComs firmly have Iran's back!

[jjotto]

Meh... Although wars do make strange bedfellows.

Very strong business ties between Israel and China, and Israel has a lot of investment in Russia, not to mention nothing goes on in Russia the Israelis don’t know about.

[Tejas Rob]

>>SO LETS GO TO WAR!!!!!

BOOTS ON THE GROUND CAUSE IT’LL TURN OUT DIFFERENT THIS TIME!!!

you going to fight Rob? your boy going to fight?

again we are Saudi Arabia’s b.tchs.

And I’m sure Israel won’t mind either.

SMFH>>

I didn’t say a damn thing about going to war. I’m just pointing at the idiots who always accuse everyone except Iran.

[CJ Wolf]

What we should do is take out an equally expensive asset of Iran’s with no casualties. We dont have to blow anything up.

[ManHunter]

How would you like to be in an Iranian sub right now? It’d be a real shame if something were to happen to one of their submarines while it’s out of sight and submerged where no one can find it. And if that were to happen, it wouldn’t be right for Trump to remind them, “I know where all of them are and while it’s highly unlikely that they’d all meet the same fate, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility...”

He continues, “Oh, and those Hezbollah-trained sleepers you have in the United States, I hope none of them get the inclination to do something on their own. A TLAM through the bedroom window makes a helluva mess...”

[CJ Wolf]

Demand? Hell seize it.

Ok, as much as I’m wait and see on this, some of you need to come up with a better reply to Iran shooting at our equipment.

Like what will be the response if they fire at one of our ships or hits one of our planes?

If you are scared of conflict, then fine. Just say so.

[Yulee]

Striking Iranian oil export facilities is the obvious target.
*************
Not to mention their refineries.

Israel has a lot of investment in Russia, not to mention nothing goes on in Russia the Israelis don’t know about.

Iran, the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism, who, on several occasions, has stated they wanted to "wipe Israel off the map", serves as a pawn for Russia. It is highly unlikely that they would do anything so provocatively on their own, without Russian approval. In fact, they very well be doing these things under orders from Moscow.

China wants to challenge U.S. naval supremacy in the Indian Ocean, the Gulf, and the Horn of Africa, as part of their long-term plans to increase their influence in Africa and access to African mineral resources; they use the Iranian navy as a pawn in this enterprise. Russia’s interest in the matter is more focused on its traditional Great Game with Britain and offsetting U.S./U.K. influence with Middle East oil producers.

Screw you, fake freeper. You're one of way too many Putin butt kissing phonies on the site. Why you creeps are allowed to remain here is a mystery to me.

Which single terror attack are you referring to again?

Russia, under KGB Putin, is in the process of restoring the lost evil empire. In order to finance this costly endeavor they obviously need huge amounts of cash. This is one of the primary reasons why they moved into the gas/oil-rich Middle East.

One of their guys in the Ukraine owned the largest gas company in that country. Don't know if he still does or not. In any case, it's the same company that Joe Biden's son, Hunter, worked for and made millions from (Burisma).

In addition, thanks to the Obama-Biden-Hillary admin, Russia was permitted to grab control of a whopping 20% of our uranium production, via their treasonous Uranium-One deal with Putin.

BTW-Russia and the ChiComs have never had a closer military and economic alliance than they do today. They've been staging massive joint war games since 2005. They CLAIM the purpose is to "counter terrorism". Meanwhile the type and scale of the exercises clearly indicate that the purpose is preparation for war with us and our allies.

President Donald J. Trump Is Holding the Iranian Regime Accountable for Its Global Campaign of Terrorism

Foreign Policy

Issued on: April 8, 2019

The Iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terror. It exports dangerous missiles, fuels conflicts across the Middle East, and supports terrorist proxies.

President Donald J. Trump

INCREASING MAXIMUM PRESSURE: President Donald J. Trump is holding the Iranian regime accountable by targeting the primary entity that carries out its global campaign of terror. 

• The Administration is designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) to counter Iran’s global campaign of terrorism.
• The Trump Administration is taking this unprecedented step as part of a broader effort to counter Iran-backed terrorism around the world.
• The Administration’s action will increase the financial pressure and isolation of Iran and deprive the regime of resources it uses for its terrorist activities.
• This action puts other governments and the private sector on notice about the nature of the IRGC, which operates front companies and institutions around the world to fund terror.
  • The profits from what appear to be legitimate business deals can end up supporting the Iranian regime’s terrorist agenda.
• This marks the first time that the United States has designated part of another government as a FTO.
  • The designation underscores that the Iranian regime’s use of terrorism makes it fundamentally different from any other government.

COUNTERING IRAN’S GLOBAL CAMPAIGN OF TERRORISM: The Iranian regime continues to engage in a campaign of terrorism around the world.

• The Iranian regime employs terrorism as a central tool of its statecraft and uses the IRGC to direct and carry out its global terrorist campaign.
• The IRGC provides funding, equipment, training, and logistical support to terrorist groups.
• The IRGC has been directly involved in terrorist plots in numerous countries.
  • In 2011, the IRGC Qods Force plotted a brazen attack on the Saudi Ambassador to the United States in Washington, D.C., that was uncovered and thwarted.
  • IRGC Qods Force activity has been uncovered and disrupted in Germany, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Kenya, Bahrain, Turkey, and others.
• The Iranian regime remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, spending nearly a billion dollars every year to support terrorism.
  • The regime provides funding to a number of terrorist groups, including Hizballah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Kata’ib Hizballah, al-Ashtar Brigades, and others.

PROTECTING AMERICA’S SECURITY: President Trump has taken action to address the full range of the regime’s malign activities and ensure it never obtains a nuclear weapon.

• President Trump withdrew from the unacceptable Iran deal as it failed to protect America’s national security interests.
• President Trump reimposed all sanctions lifted under the Iran deal and enacted the toughest sanctions regime ever imposed on Iran.
  • These sanctions help cut off revenues the regime uses to fund terrorism, promote global instability, fund nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and enrich its leaders.
• The Administration has directed its actions against the Iranian regime—not the Iranian people, who are the regime’s longest suffering victims.
