What Is An "Imminent" Threat?

[toobfreak]

Iranians are not stupid.

Then maybe their towels are just too tight, choking off their brains too much under that hot Sun.

They cannot win this war, and they have not only already lost it, destroyed their country, but very soon, it is going to get a whole lot worse.

Iran will never have a nuke. And now, they don't even have an air force or navy, all their leaders are dead, they are running out of gasoline, food, money, bombs, and their own population is rising up against them.

 

[Zavulon]

The Mullahs are insane and believe they can make their 13th Iman arrive with enough destruction and cause the return of Allah.

Who told you this? Wahhabists? They are lying, as usual.
And, of course, few nukes can't cause "enough destruction" whatever you mean.

You are an idiot, I bet you dont believe that Muslims believe they have to rule the entire planet either. Even though it says that in the Koran.

Most of religions belive that they should rule the world. Including American Evangelists and Russian Orthodox Christianity.

show in the bible where Christians are commanded by God to subjugate and politically rule the world. there are 2 beliefs in the Muslim world about the command to rule the world. the peaceful ones believe that by immigrating and assimilation they can complete the commandment. The others believe that force is necessary and they are actively murdering and forcefully trying to take over countries.

What Is An "Imminent" Threat?​

Not quite incipient but more than a potential threat.

 

[Concerned American]

imminent threat means a danger is immediate.
People have been screaming about Iran for DECADES. That is not imminent. Its the boy who cried wolf.

Since 1979, Iran has been associated with numerous attacks against Americans, including the 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, the 1983 U.S. Embassy bombing in Beirut, and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, among others. The Iranian regime and its proxies have committed a range of assaults, indicating a sustained campaign of violence against U.S. forces and citizens.

Iranians are not stupid. They can study nuclear deterrence, too.

Iranians are religious fanatics. They believe Allah is on their side, even if nukes are used.

 

[Zavulon]

Iranians are religious fanatics. They believe Allah is on their side, even if nukes are used.

As if Americans and Russians are not religious fanatics and don't think that God is on their sides. Russians with their conception of "Third Rome", "nuclear orthodoxy" and "we should prevent rebuild of The Third Temple by any means, even if 99% population of Earth will be killed in the " and American Evangelists/Zionists with their "We should rebuild The Third Temple and allow Crist/Anti-christ to rule the world".

And, at least on the level of doctrine, Iranians were against mass-murders, and, therefore, against WMD. Now, I think, they are going to change their position.

 

[Zavulon]

And, of course, with eleven uranium nukes Iran will still have much lesser chances to conquer Bahrain than North Korea have chances to capture Southern Korea with few hundred nukes.
Nuke is not a magic wand. It's just a weapon.

Same as the Cult Jews and the same as promised eventually by the Cult Christians .

Which allows Deep State to sow violence and hate between the Abrahamic Cults .

And like a good Muncher you just see it as the war that suits you best -- Cult Islam versus Cult Christianity .
Another Patsy .

We started it. We have been doing the same stuff to them. Should they have started to bomb us because we were an imminent threat to them?

 

[TNHarley]

Should all the countries trump has threatened, gang up and invade us?
After all, threats are now an imminent threat...

 

[Zavulon]

We started it. We have been doing the same stuff to them. Should they have started to bomb us because we were an imminent threat to them?

Yes. And they will bomb you. May be even with nukes.

 

[TNHarley]

Good thing you guys are safe.
Yall love supporting tyrannical regimes. In fact, thats about your only friends on the planet.

[toomuchtime_]

Many of our lefty friends keep on saying that the Iran war is wrong because Iran wasn't an "imminent" threat. Several of them have said that they would be perfectly fine if Iran enriched Uranium to weapons grade, had nuclear bombs, and even possessed ballistic missiles which could reach all of the way here to the US. So, I ask them, "What exactly is an imminent threat? What would Iran have to do for it to be considered an imminent threat? Would we have to wait until Iran attacked or nuked us first?

An imminent threat is what you get when you don't deal effectively with growing threats.

 

[Hafar1014]

imminent threat means a danger is immediate.

What difference does it make if a nuke goes off in Wash DC 6 months from now.

 

[Zavulon]

Good thing you guys are safe.

Of course we are not safe until NATO rolled back to, at least, Elbe river. And, of course, hypothetical Iranian nukes are less dangerous for us, than actual American, French and British.

Yall love supporting tyrannical regimes. In fact, thats about your only friends on the planet.

Hey, we are proxy fighting against the largest military alliance on this planet, who outnumber us as, at least, 7:1 numerically, and even more in industrial and financial capabilities. We can take any help, whoever suggests it. And, of course, Iranian Mullahs are much more rational and reasonable guys than US Evangelists, European Nazies and Israeli Zionists.
