Trump says he bombed Iran

[vonclod]

North Korea's situation is nothing like Iran's, this is remedial AF

We had a war that settled the Korean peninsula. For starters, I suspect you know this or perhaps you have long Covid and have forgotten

Iran took quite a few civilian hostages in 79. What is your North Korean analog?

Where's North Korea's backing of terrorist groups to the level Iran supported Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis

The war was not really settled..it's in a state of cease fire. Never had covid.  why be a douche? I asked a genuine question.

North Korea has most definitely taken hostages, not civillian..other than poor Otto..nontheless. The captured were a Navy crew, I think it was about 80 sailors, held for 11 months, starved and tortured..NK kept the vessel.

Since you like AI, here's what it says about NK and terrorism

North Korea (DPRK) is designated as a state sponsor of terrorism by the US, utilizing illicit activities like cybercrime, cryptocurrency theft, and overseas IT worker fraud to fund its weapons programs and elite coffers. Pyongyang has historically provided weapons, training, and support to extremist groups, including Hezbollah and Hamas, and is flagged by the FATF for significant money laundering risks. 

Key Aspects of North Korean Terrorism Funding:

• Cybercrime & Crypto Theft: North Korean state-sponsored hackers steal billions in cryptocurrency from exchanges and financial institutions, with attacks linked to financing weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
  
• Overseas IT Workers: The regime deploys teams of skilled IT workers worldwide, using stolen identities to secure jobs, with their revenue—amounting to hundreds of millions—confiscated to fund prohibited programs.
  
• Support for Foreign Entities: North Korea has been linked to providing weapons and assistance to foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and rogue regimes, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Tamil Tigers.
  
• Illicit Trade: Pyongyang engages in the sale of conventional arms, counterfeit goods, and cigarettes to generate illicit funds.
  
• International Sanctions: Due to its continued illicit activities, North Korea remains high-risk for money laundering and terror financing, according to the FATF.
  

And..NK definitively has produced nukes.

Aren't we already at war with N Korea

They've been threatening us for over 30 years

We are at a cease fire, I think. Did they ever agree to end that war?

[SomeStupidName]

Maybe a 42 year old might have more life experience giving them an edge in the military. That's not what I was responding about though. I noted that raising the age only changes the cap at which people can join, not when they have to stop serving.

I don't think I ever claimed to be the voice of truth and reason. You shouldn't just trust what I say at face value, I'm a random person on the internet. But the above is known and verifiable.

So what exactly is your problem with it, you act as though it's a bad thing.

You thought you could.

Yeah

And unlike most

I think since the rule was put into place to now things have changed people live longer and are generally healthier. I know you want it mean something bad and be a giant neon sign that this civilization is collapsing but I'm not buying it and no amount of your chicken little the sky is falling crying is going to change my mind.

Gotcha.

you got proof for these claims of longer life/healthier existence?

ETA: I recall reading that this isn’t actually the case. Maybe you read different.

Otherwise this gets awkward….

[SteamyAmerican]

You thought you could.

Right.

thats why Trump is in office.

Makes sense.

If/when we destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure and they return the favor and make good on their threats of the same in the region, will we have won the war?

Bonus: does the Strait of Hormuz open then? Or we have to bomb something else some more?

BONUS Bonus: if they do that, are they crazier bastards then they are now?

Apologies buddy, we must have gotten confused at what I was talking about. I was responding to a statement you made where I said raising the age cap is for joining only, not the ability to serve. If you're in the military, you can serve past the joining cap.

I brought this up because of the comment below:

Do you suggest surrender?

[SteamyAmerican]

Do you suggest surrender?

No. Do you? I’m morbidly curious what a stone-age Iran looks like alongside $15/gal gas for the U.S. economy and the world at large.

As I’ve said before, I’ve seen this movie before, and it ends badly for everyone involved.

In addition to we shouldn’t have listened to Bibi and joined this “excursion” in the first place.

And a big thank you for evading the question outright. Well done.
