Iran vs the US Thread

[Hammer Britannia]

There is no option to re-establish the british empire please explain

The British only briefly occupied Iran, they never had full control over it.

So what your saying is we need to direct rule this time...

[Scomagia]

Are the Saudis currently threatening our military and civilian assets? No? Then sit right back down, son.

SIGGGHSSSS

Americentrism - the perfect way of arguing! It's not whether it's right or whether it's wrong, but rather about the interests of the United States of America. If we were in the White House in a cabinet meeting, then the interests of the USA would matter. But not here. What about all the NATO countries that will be forced to join in?

Whose interests are we supposed to be talking about in a thread about potential war between the US and Iran? Canada's?

Considering the fact that all of NATO is going to be involved - NATO as a whole. The other members of NATO have no reason for intervening.

If Iran attacks US assets, yes they do have a reason for intervening.

Iran wants to exterminate Arabs and Islam

A majority Muslim country wants to exterminate Islam. Sure.

Then again they are a threat to USA and by proxy the west so I say a nice big blockade followed by bombing that make Dresden look like a small camp fire

Or we don’t and instead we fund resistance on the inside. We should fund the pro-monarchy, pro-democracy, communist party of Iran, and other anti-regime groups

And give Saudi Arabia a pass if not U.S. weapon systems in the meantime. Sure.

[An Alan Smithee Nation]

US attacks Iran. Iran attacks Saudi Arabia and Israel. Russia, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan and every other fucking country joins in.

Even for a dumb fuck like Trump it's a bad idea.

He thinks it'll work just like the Royal Rumble.

[Costa Fierro]

So Trump is doing the whole "look strong so I get reelected playbook" and suddenly everyone is taking him seriously?

Again...what? Turkey is allied to the US and Syria's busy killing itself.

Perhaps he shouldn't alienate all his allies before pulling dumb foreign policy stuff.

[Emazia]

I think all it's doing is making him more unpopular. Or worse yet, he's attempting to destroy American democracy through a faux-military government.

Trump's gullibility regarding that fucking walrus John Bolton has people worried.

Iran: Screams “Death to America” in government

Pacifists: Iran means no harm, now Saudi is the REAL problem
sounds legit

How many decades has Iran been screaming "Death to America" without any major U.S. attack proven to be linked to them?

[Saiwania]

The Iran war is a good idea in my view, and I hope that it'll be happening. I got at least $1,000+ worth of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc. stock that should go up if there is a major war and weaponry gets produced in a big way. It's been a long time coming that the US could get some revenge for 1979. This is a regime we never wanted Iran to have to begin with.

Oi you, get in United Earth, the Lightning Resistance just made a move.

[Thermodolia]

Basically my idea is fund anything that’s against the current regime. And apparently a lot of people in Iran are pro-monarchy more than they are pro-commie

[Washington Resistance Army]

DoD tests have long shown that a war with Iran would be a deeply costly affair (20,000+ American casualties in the opening volleys), trying to actually make that a reality would very likely cripple our nation with the amount of unrest and backlash it would cause on top of already existing issues. Gonna be a hard pass from me, I'm not ready for the Boogaloo just yet.

I’m no pacifist yet I realize that KSA is a real problem, one that’s bigger than Iran. Iran might scream “death to America” but the KSA actually finds it
