Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone care to put out what kind of strike Israel will hit Iran with? Just a smack thier pee pee, Strategic Launch sites only. Or will they also target, Power and infrastructure and the Ayatollah headquarters. As to go all out war now? @lil_Sig Just spitballing but one or two bunker buster nukes would not be a surprise. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well, he is probably talking about the 1980’s. You were not here, so I guess you would not know about it… (Talk about someone commenting about something they know ZERO about….) No I wasn’t. I wasn’t here during the 40s or 20’s either, and neither were most of us, but that doesn’t disqualify me or you on making a comment based on history or knowledge of the facts and historical events. I understand the point. But if you take a look at Gen Z or even millennials and how many people were duped by the gov. are you surprised that not many are willing to fight now? Especially given the last 3 administrations (Bush, Obama, and Biden)? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You are right, I should have said in the last 20-30 years since US established itself as the premier/only superpower in the world. We will see how serious Israel is about striking back by what they do in Gaza over the next few weeks. They need to finish up there, because if they decide to hurt Iran in any meaningful way they will be fighting Hezbollah and don't need Hamas still capable on the other side of the country. Israel's tactical situation is shit right now and this is why i think they will be very restrained. Iran has boots on the ground on their borders (Hezbollah, Syria) and they don't. Again, the worst part is that Biden went out and said don't and they did. How do you think this plays in Taiwan? Iran didn't listen, why would China? Is Taiwan a closer ally than Israel? Is anybody? It's a fucked up situation. I am sure the news are going to be desperately trying to convince the world this was a great victory but color me skeptic. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I disagree a bit but I'd rather not gum up the thread. A couple of quick points: Agreed that Ukraine is fucked. For lots of reasons, none of which involve being pro- either combatant. Who would have thought Israel would have been attacked by a country? Anyone who remembers when Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and a few lesser players attacked them en masse and individually over more than a decade.

Quote HistoryQuoted: A very transparent straight up act of War by the Iranian Mullahs. Someone may end up getting a tactical nuke dropped on them. I would not be surprised if the Israelis go with this option. And I don't doubt that the USA wouldn't mind watching Israel do it, with a simple official statement later "Oh well, we don't approve, but Israel has the right to defend itself from these forever terrorists" |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sounds about right. Iran had long desired to become a superpower on the world stage and they are well on their way Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: This guy gets it. Few people in this thread seem to have noticed the seismic shift in the Middle East power balance that happened last night. For the first time in history Iran has directly attacked Israel, and not only have they directly attacked them they did so after they were specifically warned by the US and Israel to not do it. Iran just announced to Israel "we're not scared of you anymore" and flexed their muscles. And everyone in the world saw it. Israel foiled most of the attack but that wasn't the point of it; Iran sent a message that Israel is vulnerable. Israel must respond to restore deterrence. If Israel and the US back down Iran will have established itself as the main counterweight to Israel in the Middle East, and will have earned the support and loyalty of hundreds of millions of Muslims. If they don't back down and strike back then they risk starting a war that neither can afford right now. GD of course is enamored with the video game aspect of the attack and ignoring its strategic implications. Iran can hit Israel whenever it wants to, and the mullahs apparently don't care what the US or Israel will do in response. This isn't the Iran of the 1980s anymore; they're an ascendant regional power, and they are willing to use it to confront us. Sounds about right. Iran had long desired to become a superpower on the world stage and they are well on their way Lots of people saying that this is unprecedented. Maybe my memory is poor, but I don't remember a time when Iran ever heeded US warnings. |

That way there won't be the public outrage for a massive retaliatory strike which would definitely cause the other side to up the ante. It's kind of like that TOS Star Trek episode where the two planets just played a controlled pretend war in order to prevent a more massive one. Neither Iran nor Israel (or China or the US) wants things to get out of control in the Middle East. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Military Industrial Complex is a thing. Something quoted by dumbasses all the time. It’s only a partially true statement. However the same whiners who bitch about the MIC are very often the same who complain about a single American death. Also, often those are the same naive isolationists who believe the world wouldn’t be a worse place if China or Russia were the world’s superpower. Our military tech outclasses the rest of the world by a massive margin for one reason. The money pumped into the MIC. Yes, there are significant problems with cost overruns and political kickbacks. You can’t have it both ways though. Desert Storm and the GWOT would look very, very different in terms of US KIA if we did not have the companies investing in weapons tech that we currently do. And don’t kid yourself, wars are going to happen regardless of what you want to hide your kids from. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When was that? When the US threw a bunch of young adults into the meat grinder during Vietnam? Or was it during GWB invading countries that posed no thread to the US and ignored the ones that actually supported the 9/11 attacks? When the US govt plain old lied over and over again for their own gains? Or is it going to be now to fight for some Ukrainian money laundering scheme or fight for Israel and getting us involved where we shouldn’t be involved? Fuck all that shit. When are people going to wake up to the fact that 95% of it is fake patriotism? This isn’t WW2. It’s all bullshit. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Agreed 100% and it's both sad and frightening. I grew up when most young men considered it their duty to fight for their nation should the need arise. These days, the military seems like it's run more like a fortune 500 company than a fighting force. The underlying weakness of the west is that the west thinks people around the world are motivated by the same things that westerners are. It's our fatal flaw. Some folks can't be bought with blue jeans and the promise of opportunity...and when those same folks decide to fight, they aren't concerned with Geneva convention practiced and rule of engagement. The west has forgotten how to win a fight against savage warriors. I think that a lot of liberals like to believe that when called upon, Americans will 'step up' and do what is necessary to keep our nation safe. The reality is that people don't 'step up'...they simply default to their training. When we trained men to ignore pain, endure suffering, use violence, and fight for survival, our forces were capable of stabilizing the globe. Now we train people that pronouns matter, that guys can get pregnant, and that hurting someone's feelings with words is the same thing as violence. Not surprisingly, we have an entire nation of youth who can't fight, don't exercise, and if pushed to the edge would probably jump off rather that turn and face their oppressor. The gates leading to Valhalla don't get much use any more.  When was that? When the US threw a bunch of young adults into the meat grinder during Vietnam? Or was it during GWB invading countries that posed no thread to the US and ignored the ones that actually supported the 9/11 attacks? When the US govt plain old lied over and over again for their own gains?

Of people who are fearful of what might happen. Who wish for the good old days of Americans not afraid to fight for God and Country. People who believe themselves to still hold those values while loathing a war that may mean sacrifice because it’s obvious that Americas decline means that it’s not worth it anymore. “No Iranian or Chinese ever called me a Nazi or called for taking away my rights!” |

We will see how serious Israel is about striking back by what they do in Gaza over the next few weeks. They need to finish up there, because if they decide to hurt Iran in any meaningful way they will be fighting Hezbollah and don't need Hamas still capable on the other side of the country. Israel's tactical situation is shit right now and this is why i think they will be very restrained. Iran has boots on the ground on their borders (Hezbollah, Syria) and they don't. Again, the worst part is that Biden went out and said don't and they did. How do you think this plays in Taiwan? Iran didn't listen, why would China? Is Taiwan a closer ally than Israel? Is anybody? It's a fucked up situation. I am sure the news are going to be desperately trying to convince the world this was a great victory but color me skeptic. If I had to bet I'd say that the Biden administration made some kind of deal with Iran, along the lines of "do an attack to save face, we'll help shoot it down so Israel doesn't get hurt, and then we'll prevent Israel from retaliating". The whole thing feels a bit orchestrated. NEW: Joe Biden Green-Lit Iran's Attack on Israel https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/04/14/new-joe-biden-green-lit-irans-attack-on-israel-n2172744 |

Oil/Gold/Silver futures opened about ~15 minutes ago. No spike. So far, financial experts are betting this is a Nothing Burger.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm never going to understand polite warfare. "Hey you Iranian assholes! We're gonna strike back! In 24-48 hours." Why warn them? Just annihilate them. If it was me, I would tell them 48 hours but hit them in 10. |
