The War on Terror /Central Asia/Mid East/Africa thread

iran's back is to the wall because of sanctions. they have missiles that can reach europe, although i doubt they would launch them because european countries tend to be friendlier to Iran relative to the U.S.. But Iran showed they can attack Saudi Arabia, they have militias in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Palestine and can direct flare ups. They can also start trouble in the straight of hormuz again.

there are a lot of iranian citizens that want the US to attack Iran. They hate their government. But they are too weak to overthrow it. They wanted Trump/Bolton to invade.

we are fortunate to live in our little american bubble arguing over $190 NYE menus

god forbid iran direct a suicide bomber on US soil or something

Hahaha what

you know any expats who managed to escape? iran has a very young, literate population. there are many who don't care about hating the west. they want to integrate with europe.

On the second day of the recent rallies, a former colleague from Iran sent me a short clip of people in a small city in northern Iran chanting, “Death to Khamenei” — meaning Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader.

Please Mr. Bolton, please do CIA regime change and sell off our power grid to Haliburton.

Can we talk about how fucking compressed this jpeg is that the President used to essentially announce an act of war? I am surprised there aren't Minions in it.

pretty mature and measured response

hire this man as VP now!

[96583UP]

we don't have the money for another war. it was all given away as corporate tax breaks

[96583UP]

so if you read those comments and related tweets sounds like about a dozen planes sent from NC and GA to the middle east carrying special forces

You have a meme thread

I think the rule is that if we don't use our trillion dollar military every five years on pointless wars, we have to give it to China.

they already stole all the intellectual property anyway

so after watchning to CNN for the last hour, which i haven't done probably since the presidential election, it's pretty clear that:

1) the US just killed Iran's Teddy Roosevelt
2) Iran will retaliate aggressively
3) If you are at a US facility in the middle east it's going to get hot and heavy real soon
4) We need to create a Tahdig thread in Food & Dining
