Possible conflict with Iran

If this is in the wrong forum please correct my mistake and thank you in advance.

As of now I am sure all of you have seen what is going on. And I am surprised that this has not been brought up here.
This thread will be short as are all of mine. I will say my peace and leave it at that.

I strongly am against even the idea of war with any country. But to threaten a country who is as of this moment trying to stay out of conflict with the US is just wrong. I support my countrymen but if this does happen I will not support my POTUS.

This situation is deeply disturbing and scary. And I hope this is just politics and will not happen.
But the fact that it is not being talked about very much leads me believe it may be very real.

Stay safe fellow earthlings.

There are 3 threads other than yours in the new tab about different aspects of this situation

I will support our POTUS if he declares war on Hillary. They better not name an aircraft carrier after her because that itch needs to go down. All the way to the bottom.

Three is an insufficient amount given the gravity of the situation.
At a minimum ten will suffice. I did my part now of ya go to make another.

Considering you never supported him in the first place and this topic has been covered a few times already. I'm unsure what else you aren't being honest about.

Have you seen the other threads?
A lot of information in them
What exactly is yours bringing to the table that isn’t already being discussed in length?

Yours is basically just “hey isn’t this scary, I don’t like this”

Oh nooooos! Doom porn. When are you signing up for the military? I already did my time in Africa ;-)

I hope there's no war.

But since I am not in charge of the planet, about all I can do is hope.


You have to ask yourself, though, who is most qualified to declare war?

The ones with ALL the information?

or

The ones with just a little information?

It could be little more than Trump doing diplomacy like the way he did with North Korea or it could be that Bolton wants to get the job done and Trumps the man to do it , neither seem like the ideal way to go plus China , Russia and the EU are against intervention

Still leaves open the possibility of a false flag and limited exchange off the back of it though , but as Phil Lynott said " if the boys want to fight you better let em"

If the US and Israel decide to reduce Iran to rubble, then get ready for another 'Kings Landing' type of episode.... this time for real!

Would have already signed up but I have certain injuries that I am sure they don’t want to pay for. But I pay my taxes and have a voice. As do you and the majority of the worlds population.
And yes this is doom porn

Well that would suck for the receiving end.
Off topic but man that was one hell of an episode.

Possible conflict with Iran eh?



Well, it's rather apparent whos cracking the joke, to be honest, and then some.

I don't trust anyone.

I used to.

I trust my wife, my dog, my Winchester.

I don't even trust my Keurig.

I have no desire to go to war. Been there, done that.

But again, I gave up my crown of Planet King, so I could spend the rest of my days at peace, sipping fine bourbon, dancing with my bride, and making fart comments on ATS.

Trust equates to you giving another person a finite amount of time to let you down.

Sad but true.

Without it through, or a least a modicum of such, the world would be rather a tedious dangerous place to exist i suppose.

Problems are what we see and excuses are what we make when we don't want to work towards the goal. I have health issues as well, I worked around them. One person can change everything, you have to meet your future head-on.

The guys with ALL the info of course. Nam, Afghanistan and Iraq worked out well.

I don't know ... but I seem to recall how during the end of Bush's tenure, it was all the rage to theorize how GW was going to get us into war with Iran so that he wouldn't have to leave office at all and thus get a third term.

Now, I'm seeing us nearing a new election cycle with a Republican president that the press has labeled as Satan incarnate, and I am hearing the same arguments about Iran starting to circulate.

I wonder if I'm the only one who is hearing the narrative repeat?
