Iran to close Strait of Hormuz

[bodecea]

And, you are right.

This government has shown a remarkable unwillingness to support the military.

You really don't have a clue, do you? But for the sake of argument, what evidence, hard evidence, do you have about this government's "remarkable unwillingness to support the military"?

The changes made in the Rules of Engagement for one thing.

Show that change....

 

[Katzndogz]

It's all about the cash. Iran will not close the Strait of Hormuz. They're just flexing their muscles. They make way too much money to close it. It's not gonna happen unless they are attacked.

Don't you think that if Iran closes Hormuz they will let their own ships through?

I doubt it will make a difference to a leftist but....

War is coming. and I don't mean the Iraq/Aghanistan kind. I mean all out war.

Iran is not capable of all out war

he's wishful thinking for the apocalypse.

Iran is not capable of all out war

No, but their protectors, China and Russia sure are.

Neither China nor Russia will go to war on behalf of Iran.

No, they'll just supply the goods.

They wouldn't be able to because those ships would be smoldering heaps of slag.

Not openly, not directly. Wouldn't make a difference anyway.

 

[Dr.Drock]

The only good thing that could've come out of the Iraq War was the fact that we installed a friend of Iran as their Prime Minister, and maybe that would prevent warmongering with Iran.



But now it looks more and more that war with Iran is inevitable, but then again you could say that about about middle eastern or nearby country. We use those countries as target practice anymore.

You know any?


BTW....did you know that it isn't very wise to win the hearts and minds of the Afghanies by treating them without respect?

 

[Katzndogz]

There is no such thing in war as victory winning the hearts and minds of the enemy.

So, you are not a fan of Psy Ops. Tell us...if we are not trying to win the Afghans over to our side, why are we there?

There is no such thing in war as victory winning the hearts and minds of the enemy.

What is your military intelligence background that leads you to this conclusion?

Afghanistan is not our enemy

Afghanistan is not our enemy

The Taliban are....and if we wish to have a lasting ally, we cannot treat the people like crap. That's what the Soviets did.

The thing about Psy Ops is that it takes time and patience with lots of set backs. For the Instant Gratification Crowd, that makes it almost an impossibility.

If Iran closes down the strait it will be with the wreckage of their LOL "navy".

Rember the VietCong, who fought the US wearing black pajamas?

US Servicemen dead 47, 378

Non hostile deaths 10,800

MIA's 2338

POW 766 (114 died in captivity)

Wounded in Action 303, 704

Severely disabled 75,000

But who gives a fuck?

Plus you bastards love having your anuses stimulated by TSA.

As always, Heil Hitler.

Probably not, that doesn't mean they won't push it to the edge just to see what we're really made of.

True, expect similar numbers if we go to war with Iran.

If all those dead/wounded are no big deal to some of you ppl, keep advocating for this war.

North Korea has nukes, I mean they could blow us up at any minute since our military is helpless to defend ourselves from nukes of inferior military forces, we can't have Iran have the same potential!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
