Trump says he bombed Iran

[Oldcarpy2]

I occasionally read Trump's posts.

Judging by his recent ones I can't see how anyone can conclude that not only is he senile and demented,  with cognitive issues, he is, in fact, mad.

He is a complete embarrassment to the USA and the World.

I shudder to think how he will react if, as seems likely, he gets thumped in the mid terms.

Why completely destroy iran? The idea is crazy. It suits nobody at all. Everyone needs the enemy. The very idea is insane. With respect of course Dennis.  Peace suits nobody.

Ah yes, the ancient wisdom passed down from the sacred texts of lads standing outside the kebab shop.

"Strike before you get striked"  

Sounds like something my 13-year-old wean shouts while losing at FIFA.

It's not a strategy, just nervous violence in a sentence.

If thats philosophy, Orby, my toaster is Aristotle. 

Take the spliff out ya mouth mate. No idea what you're on about.

Hamas and Palestinian Militant groups attacked Israel.


'Lockerbie' is the correct spelling.

Libya were the protagonists there. Gadhafi's Libya was more secular and socialist than overwhelmingly Muslim. Gadhafi implied that he was Muslim, but clearly didn't abide by any of its rules, much like Trumb uses Christianity but is outrageously sinful and unrepentant.


Umm, those countries and ethnicities existed right there, before 1947. They didn't willfully try and "surround" Israel.

Many Israelis had historically left the area (definitely in regard to local governance and a Jewish state), in their diaspora that started after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Other tribes and ethnicities expanded and migrated into the area over the nearly 1,800 years between 70 AD and 1947. Many non-Jewish people groups also existed in the area going way back into prehistory. The Jewish "promised land" was not uninhabited when Moses\Joshua 'took it'.


Hezbollah again.


You are mixing up events and groups that were not unified (and some were even at war with each other at the time).

Some of the world's terrorism has been state sponsored - through the CIA.

There was that whole Iran-Contra thing during Reagan's Presidency where the USA was provably a state sponsor of international terrorism and drugs trade.

And who put Saddam Hussein in power? And who funded and armed the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan? And who funded the anti-Castro stuff? And who funded and protected the early Nazi's? And who created fake riots to overthrow the Hawaiian kingdom? And who carried out unprovoked terror attacks against Mexico before invading and taking the states of Texas, California, Nevada as well as parts of present-day Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming?

So, which is the greater state sponsor of international terrorism?

Nor were Iran likely to be able to attack the USA, even if they had nukes, because the USA has more nukes and better delivery systems than any other country, except for Russia.

You see, no country can use nukes if they have them, because of 'mutually assured destruction'.

If one country tries to use them, other countries will defend and respond with them and it will escalate out of control.

This is the reason that nukes haven't been used in warfare (except by the USA), it is a balance of terror and the nuclear armed countries are funding it and doing it.

Countries that go to war, and attack, rather than just being purely defensive, are primitive and dangerous to the world. War is evil and those that start wars are evil.

That's pretty well written with lots of it and I'm cooking lasagne chip and garlic bread so a bit to take in right now. Respect to your views, I need a pc here not a phone

More timeless wisdom, eh?

"Just delete the opposition before they delete you." 

Famously first carved into ancient Sumerian stone tablets next to "trust me, brother, I've watched documentaries". 

As to the "Peace in our time" Chamberlain quote, and then promptly pivoting to global multiplayer PvP.

That's quite the intellectual arc, Orby.

And after all, nothing says high-level strategy like treating geopolitics like it's Call of Duty with nukes.
 
Also love the confidence "the West can take them all at once."

After all, what could go wrong in the Middle East? 

You need to grow a pair of balls and look at the bigger picture. The East is taking over. There is no time for fancying around. They are overtaking us in everyway. They need fly swatting like the German, like the Japanese, like the Soviet. No good can come of letting them feel any farther. The time space is now. I just take an out while they're still basic and behind the west. It can be done. It's what they plan for

[Orby]

That's just deranged.

Iran hasn't been taken down.  Neither has Vietnam, Afghanistan etc.

Russia and China?

Calm down, fella.

You sound like a special  needs 12 year old.

Are you a man or a flaming mouse? We're on the third world war forum, not horticulture or cooking with Aynslei Harriot. We don't need to fully destroy them it makes no sense. Where's the dosh in that? Where's the bases? Where's the reliance on us by the Arab for protectipn. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!

Talking about making absolutely no sense....hands Orby a mirror.

Go sign up and put your money where your mouth is, General Armchair.

"Look at the bigger picture" apparently means "start a war with half the planet."

Amazing.

Your confidence is incredible.

"It can be done."

Aye, and I can beat Tyson Fury if he stands still and lets me kick him in the chuckles. 

You're talking about kicking off the biggest war in history like you're planning a five-a-side match at Goals...

Yes I'm on optimist, yet with drones we can actually control it. Sounds crazy but we a get our lands back,, everybodys happy ?
