Should have taken out EVERY known weapons depot.
Yes. And they should have done it before now.
“You want to convince the ultimate source of the aggression [that is, Iran] that the object they pursue is too costly to pursue.”
************
The Iranians don’t seem to be convinced. Just saying.
With the Coronavirus there and the falling oil prices threatening to destroy their economy, the Iranians may reach the point where they have “nothing to lose”.
Take out every weapon known…in Iran. Flatten it. If necessary, Turn it to glass. Take out the nuclear power facilities and weapon facilities.
We just haven’t yet convinced them... increased pressure is needed.
Cut off the leaders at the top. Repeat as necessary.
They bomb an air base, we bomb Mullah headquarters.
That’s what needs to happen.
Should have taken out EVERY known weapons depot.
Yes. And they should have done it before now.
Great point. Why weren’t they taken out when discovered?
“the retaliation was measured...”
What kind of crap is that....? KNock every last one of them out...
——proportional,-—
The only valid proportion is X 100. That is 100:1
Kill at least 100 to 1 to deliver a message as well as the deaths
I loathe that concept. If someone attacks us, we should wipe them from the face of the earth. . . especially the Middle Eastern terrorist variety that keeps doing this sort of thing.
Maybe we should apply the old Curtis LeMay doctrine and bomb them back to the stone age.....just saying...
We seem to have trouble understanding the concept of credibility. We talk and posture a lot with our high minded rhetoric but it often doesn’t appear that our adversaries are impressed enough to cease their aggression.
In actuality, there is little need for words.
Please see my #14.
And then sent in teams to grab all of their toilet paper.../s
ONe more time...Let see if they attack us, and kill one more of our guys. I have a feeling that if that happens, the response will not be measured.
Especially if they kill an American.
Respect and compliance are closely related to perceived credibility and consequences. If they know the price will be high they wouldn’t be provoking us. We need to change the threat equation.
1,000 to 1 response should be the minimum our military uses against those who attack us!!
Th H3ll with a proportional response!!!
