Why Haven't Other Countries Declared War on Iran?

[Zincwarrior]

A better question to ask is why we are in NATO.

Blah blah Hitler blah blah Iron Curtain...

 

[Invisibleflash]

Why haven't other countries declared war on Iran for attacking their ships in an international waterway? (I include the USA in this question, although its actions have spoken louder than words.)

If unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic during WW1 was sufficient cause to declare war on Germany, why wouldn't the attacks on international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz be cause for affected countries to declare war on Iran?

It seems like a united front against this type of piracy would more quickly result in collapsing Iran's house of cards.

Iran didn't start this war. Iran warned the Strait was closed.

There`s no reason that we couldn`t be like North Korea. How cool would that be?

Far from it .
Around 22-23 C degrees today in down town Pyongyang .
Great city . No Americans .

It's termed RETALIATION & defense by Iran, for being bombed illegally by the USA and Israel, and all those mentioned countries providing airspace and bases for these illegal US and IDF attacks.

Ok, so how is that working out so far for Iran? Wait until all those countries retaliate against Iran.

These whiny Gulf countries are just like those two faced French, complaining about being shot at by Americans in Algeria and Tunisia during WWII.

They will have their chance at retaliation against Iran. We'll see if any take it.

So how do you expect an answer to your question if you don't specify what it is you want to know?

Whoaaaaaaaaa I think you be the one who asked a question.... I made a statement. The IRGC and the Mullahs do not represent Persia. The historical culture of Persia is in no way related to radical Islam.

I have one word for you and I am assuming it is on the level of even your understanding: Proximity. Go home and keep your nose out of Hormuz.

uuuh probably the other countries are not serving the new world order agenda as our government is and know that ISRAEL is the country that starts wars on other countries. and the media LIES for israel making them a VICTEM all the time

 

[LA RAM FAN]

If the other countries weren't consulted or didn't buy into this war with Iran, perhaps they see things as the result of our president having his head up his butt.

 

[kyzr]

You ned to remember why the JCPOA happened.
No one wanted Iran to have nukes.
Iran worked on nukes even after promising not to.
Trump said "no nukes, period", and he is using the military to enforce it.

 

[GLASNOST]

Not true.

Iran worked on nukes even after promising not to.

So did the US.

Trump said "no nukes, period", and he is using the military to enforce it.

As long as the US has nukes it's not America's business what Iran has. "I have punched you but you are not allowed to punch me back"? Screw dat!

 

[Yarddog]

"Got it" now?

Well, just think..where are you from? Sweden? Why did the U.S. stick its nose in Britain's war? Germany did not attack us, we should have let you Europeans handle it all by yourselves... you were not in our Proximity!
Yet we did realize that The Nazi regeime did in fact pose a threat to the world.

By the same token, if we believe Iran posed a threat to the world due to their radical beliefs combined with their past actions and continued developmenyt of missiles and nukes... it might be smart to take out the modern day little hitlers before they got any bigger..

You may not agree with it, but it still is a valid position


(QUOTE BELOW)
"Before Pearl Harbor, significant American opposition to World War II involvement was driven by the isolationist America First Committee (800,000+ members). Key figures included aviator Charles Lindbergh, Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, and politicians like Senators Burton Wheeler and Gerald Nye. They argued for "America First" (non-intervention) to protect the Western Hemisphere, viewing European conflicts as foreign.

Well, just think.

Yes, you ought to try that some time.

.where are you from?

Is that an important question?

Sweden?

And what?

Why did the U.S. stick its nose in Britain's war?

I thought we were talking about Iran.

Germany did not attack us

Germany declared war on the US. They didn't teach you that in school, did they.

we should have let you Europeans handle it all by yourselves...

We'll never know for sure. But what has that got to do with Sweden?

you were not in our Proximity!

What's your point?

Yet we did realize that The Nazi regeime did in fact pose a threat to the world.

The world? Oh, the things you people make up!

By the same token, if we believe Iran posed a threat to the world

And who are you to decide if we should share your fantasy about Iran?

due to their radical beliefs combined with their past actions

What "radical beliefs" and "past actions" are you talking about? Let's have a good laugh and see if you can be specific. Your fantasy is outrageous.

and continued developmenyt of missiles and nukes...

Iran has that right to defend itself. You don't agree?

it might be smart to take out the modern day little hitlers before they got any bigger..

Who are these imaginary "little hitlers" you are talking about?

You may not agree with it,

Don't you worry about that. I agree with nothing you've just written so far. But maybe you can respond to those above points of yours and convince me? I am particularly interested to know what you think it has to do with Sweden. You don't know, do you.

What? you don't know what you being from Sweden has to do with anything? Had the U.S. not helped to end Hitler.... you and your ancestors would have been eating Schnitzle instead of those Swedish meat balls they sell at IKEA.

and oh yeah lets see...

There is this.. some people would consider it an act of war... besides attacking ships in international waters..

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/08/donald-trump-iran-assassination-plot-00188498

Just realize there were many Americans and groups who were against US intervention in Europe.... ok? they thought that should be your war to deal with. but imagine what if? what if we had entered the war earlier.. might it had prevented Germany from taking over to the extent they did? As it is we ended up there anyway.
I can see the same trajectory with Iran if we had done nothing.... we would have ended up there anyway facing off a much more powerful enemy. CAPISCE?

 

[GLASNOST]

What? you don't know what you being from Sweden has to do with anything?

I know plenty. It is you who knows nothing it seems. Well? Are you going to enlighten me? No motivated response to my questions to you? Take your time - read my previous response again before you open your mouth.

Had the U.S. not helped to end Hitler.... you and your ancestors would have been eating Schnitzle instead of those Swedish meat balls they sell at IKEA.

I eat Schnitzle all the time. It's one of my favourite meals. Are you not allowed to eat it? Is it forbidden where you live? And how does that fit in with your view of "the world"? What about pizza? Is it Mussolini's fault that the best pizza pies are made in New York and Chicago? Are you a Fascist because of it?

.. some people would consider it an act of war...

Be specific. What would be considered "an act of war"? Come on, speak up. Cat got your tongue?

besides attacking ships in international waters..

But that's what the US is doing. Is it OK for you but not OK for others?

Just realize there were many Americans and groups who were against US intervention in Europe.... ok?

Yes. Sure. Your Henry Ford, the Coca Cola Company, and Charles Lindbergh were all pro-Nazis and supported Hitler with goods, products, and money.

they thought that should be your war to deal with.

"They"? Read my above statement again. "They" actively supported the Nazis.

but imagine what if?

OK. Now what?

what if we had entered the war earlier.. might it had prevented Germany from taking over to the extent they did?

Stopping the Nazis earlier was Brtian's and France's responsibility. They failed their "Peace in our time" cop-out. You're not taught very much in school, I can see.

As it is we ended up there anyway.

Yes, but do you know why? I know ..... you're going to tell me it had something to do with Sweden.

I can see the same trajectory with Iran if we had done nothing.... we would have ended up there anyway facing off a much more powerful enemy. CAPISCE?

I am trying very hard not to call you stupid but it is difficult. Very difficult. You are so full of imagination. You have no basis of fact. No understanding of history, recent or otherwise. You don't know anything at all.
