Israel launches airstrikes against Iran.

The best way to show leftists who they are protesting in favor of is to have them live among them for 24 hours..

I’m running into a lot of Iranians (They call themselves Persians) just lately in Germany. Mostly students, telling me they couldn’t stand it there any longer.

The fckn Middle East has been warring for centuries

 

[JoeB131]

Spare me the sea of words. You are demonstrating how woefully uneducated you are about how military personnel and materiel are conducted in active war zones. There's more to it than just power and quantity.

No, there's also logistics.

Ah, and to demonstrate your illiteracy, you don't seem to be aware that the 985 miles is easily covered by aerial refueling tankers. These.

That works fine for jets. Helicopters, not so much. While this capability was tested for the CH-53, it was only a test. This is why the Marines invested in the Osprey, because helicopters had exactly that weakness.

Seriously. I don't get my knowledge from games. I actively study this stuff.

I actually did it for real for 11 years.

The IAF covered 1970 miles round trip in their numerous sorties against Iranian targets. They had aerial refueling aircraft to sustain them all the way.

Again, works fine for fighter jets. Helicopters not so much.

Don't insult my intelligence, please.

You don't have any intelligence to insult.

Yeah? That's what allies do, mister.

The Zionists aren't our allies.

Allies don't blow up your ships, like they did with USS Liberty.
They don't run over your citizens with bulldozers like they did to Rachel Correy
They don't send spies to infiltrate your security, like they did with Jonathan Pollard.

Israel can't do ground invasions 2,000 miles away they don't really have a Navy ...what do you want to do fly paratroopers in there..get real.... I told you the masad is there, on the ground ,working with the opposition who are many..they can overthrow the government from within ....you're doing too much with all that stuff

If the Mossad could overthrow the Ayatollahs, they'd have done that years ago.

The problem here is the Zionists are playing with fire. If their attacks cause a Fukushima-style meltdown of a reactor, that's going to have implications for the entire region, not just Iran.

 

[JoeB131]

Curious, if they can get the Mossad there, can they not get regular troops there too?

It's a matter of logistics.

Regular troops need to be fed, rearmed, refueled, supported, etc. LOGISTICS. It's how wars are won.

A Mossad Agent (who are not all their propaganda makes them out to be) can operate independently.

 

[JoeB131]

The Iranian people aren't the enemy the Islamic regime is and most of the people that are prisoners of that regime

Ah, this delusion.

The Iranians have elections, political parties, a parliament, and more participatory democracy than you'd think, compared to other countries in the Middle East.

 

[JoeB131]

It's up to them to replace their govt. Turning the lights out is better than a ground invasion or another forever proxy war.

So if China launched airstrikes with the intent of getting rid of Trump, do you think that people would be more inclined to getting rid of Trump, or do you think they'd want to go kick Chinese ass?

Did Pearl Harbor make people want to get rid of FDR?
Did 9/11 make people want to get rid of Bush?

If anything, the airstrikes have probably strengthened the Ayatollah's regime.

Israel is not a criminal, not a terrorist state, but a literal role-model dreamed up by the entire bourgeoisie. “Why him and not me?”, why are they allowed to kill people without sanctions - that's the question lurking beneath Netanyahu's feigned condemnations.

I am intrigued----what are Netanyahu's 'feigned condemnations'?

 

[JoeB131]

Saddam never had nukes.

Gaddafi never had nukes.

You're a ******* idiot. And learn how to spell names "Khadafy", what a ******* moron.

That was my whole point, these guys gave up their nuclear programs, and they were killed anyway. North Korea kept their nuclear program until they got a bomb, and they

Oh, for the record, there's no standard way to Westernize Khadafy's name.

Gaddafi? Kadafi? Qaddafi? What's the correct spelling?

You say, Gaddafi, we say Qaddafi. Other variations on the leader of Libya include "Gathafi," "Kadafi," and "Gadafy," creating an unholy mess for newspaper editors.

I becomes increasingly clear to me that you have never conversed
with Iranians----do you live under a rock?

Is Trump threatening to nuke China and commit genocide?

 

[JoeB131]

As far as Pearl Harbor, was the U.S. threatening to annihilate Japan and kill all the Japanese, and weeks away from being able to build an atom bomb to do so?

Otherwise, there’s no comparison. Don’t let your antisemitism make you believe false comparisons in order to blame the Jews.

No, with Pearl Harbor, the US was cutting off fuel and food to Japan trying to starve it out.

Oh, and we've been hearing Bibi claim that Iran was weeks away from completing a bomb for the last 30 years.

 

[JoeB131]

Is Trump threatening to nuke China and commit genocide?

No, and neither was Iran.

You look ridiculous.... just ridiculous

Yet there are 90 million Iranians who are just fine with it, and pretty upset that the hated Zionists just attacked them.

You obviously have zero clue about Iran

FASCINATING----you have already accomplished a comprehensive POLL----did your shiite Imam
help? I don't live under a rock. Way back in the late 1960s and into the 1970s and 80s I worked
with lots of Iranians---both muslims and a few jews

Russia and China have elections also.

 

[SweetTea]

No, and neither was Iran.

No, they have threatened to destroy Israel on many occasions. If they had nukes, that would be the easiest path for them to do so. It’s not rocket science.
