Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

[forgetful]

This is fking absurd.

A direct attack on Iran would mean that Israel gets wiped off the map. Israel is not a very large country.

Hezbollah has 150,000 guided missiles. Israel doesn't have enough missiles for the Iron dome to stop that. And don't forget the missiles Iran would be firing.

A direct and serious attack on Iran would mean that Hezbollah and Iran launch everything they have to level Israel.

Israel attacking Iran, or us attacking Iran is a losing proposition for everyone.

I'm just hoping the Hezbollah does not seriously enter the fray.

[Uncle Rico]

We'll rest assured that at least we now have someone in office who's "forte" or specialty was foreign affairs, going to bring peace and "sensibility", decency, unity to the world and previous guy was such a threat to world? 

So yup, we're in good hands where ever he is

The last guy supported the colossal failure Netanyahu is who just saw his country attacked because he's too busy trying to strengthen his power by undermining all levels of Israel government to protect himself from jail for corruption.

Luckily that doesn't matter. Jared fixed the Mideast for only $2bil.

[MuggsyB]

Sorry, but if they execute a United States citizen, they deserve it.

If they do, I hope we level the place.

Brother dgies,

This is an extremely difficult war for Israel, especially if Hezbollah gets involved in the North.  As far as the hostages I'm afraid freeing them is going to be inordinately difficult.  If Hezbollah gets involved I think the US has to help.  We are already seeing that Israel will be blamed for responding at all, let alone using unrelenting force which will obviously lead to civilian casualties. 

As far as Iran is concerned the fact is they are making money hand over fist in their oil revenues because we have not enforced sanctions.  The 6B in ransom money isn't particularly relevant to their overall revenues used solely for terror and death. 

Appeasement is the absolute worst solution to dealing with a regime like Iran and their terrorist proxies.  I know some don't want to hear this but the right decision is to immediately cripple them economically, seize their oil fields, and obliterate their nuclear facilities.  I would also, in concert with Israel, use a Delta Force to introduce Iranian leadership to darkness in due time.   

In fact Im not against annexing the country and telling the other Arab states to go fk themselves.  The idea that they care one iota about Palestinians is an absolute joke. They unfortunately are pawns.  This is not just a battle between Israel and Hamas/Iran and other Islamic terrorists, it's a battle between the West and Islamic Terrorism.  Within a month, if I was in charge, we would control all oil refineries in Iran and completely eliminate their evil partners.

Is that why this happened?  Shoot, haven't seen that written anywhere except maybe mother jones and messnbc.  We'll screw em then...at least the white supremacists and MAGA peeps are under control- those are the worst

Then you can spend the next 20 years meeting parents of dead soldiers at airports and visit the hospitals where severely injured soldiers are

It didn't happen because of the current president or the former president.  You'd have to be colossally stupid to blame either of them but certain people in this country embrace stupidity.

It's very sad that we have evil people on our planet and evil people that control certain countries and their citizens.  War is ugly, doing essentially nothing in this situation is uglier.  If Hezbollah gets involved the USA will have to act and help our friends.  Now I get I'm more hawkish than the average person but these disgusting scumbags simply cannot be permitted to operate again nor exist on this planet.

How much of the U.S. artillery worth tens of millions of dollars, abandoned and left behind in Afghanistan by Biden, has found its way into the hands of Hamas?

That's an interesting question.  I would imagine the Taliban has just kept all of it, to subjugate their own citizens and eliminate all freedoms of Afghan girls/women, but perhaps we can find out more information.

Gee reeko,  you got blinkens number?  He may need a little help from you smart people who probably put the doofus in chief in office.  That was really smart what ya got up next?  Mickey o?

blinken says Iran may not be involved so maybe they should refocus on those nasty boisterous parents at the school board meetings. Seeing as how there haven't been many school board meeting lately to exercise their terror, word is they headed for Israel to keep their game on

I'm not surprised you don't understand history, much less the Middle East and think it's as simple as who is in the White House.  That's ok.  You're a perfect example of why it's time for boomers to move off the scene.  It's your generation that is the first to leave the world in a worse place than the previous.

America gave something like $7 (not $21) billion in arms to support Afghanistan democracy.  The cost in lives to Americans and non-Americans wiping evil off the face of the earth in Afghanistan was worth it though.  The results speak for themselves

I went away for awhile and this thread turned into a bunch of revenge fantasies.
And I say fantasies, because that's what they are. Fortunately.

Who cut that deal with the Taliban, Dickie?

Israel's defense forces themselves say there is no evidence or proof yet of Iranian involvement.

The first job of a government, any government, is to protect its people.

If you can't do that, then you have no business existing.

We're Americans. We take care of each other.

Muggsy, I know you're an excitable guy and this situation has clearly touched you emotionally, but might be a good time to take a beat and quite posting, cause this is unhinged.

The US has not been attacked, not declared war upon by anyone, and Iran has not directly engaged in any warfare, but yet you propose the US taking over their country, seizing their resources, and killing the leaders of a sovereign nation without provocation (while using the silly "introduce them to darkness" nonsense reserved for hypothetical boxing matchups or animal fights).  And further proposing it in some fantastical Call of Duty plot level mission.

And to top it off, you think you could dispose the Iranian government and control their oil fields in A MONTH?! Did you confuse Iran with Kuwait or Azerbaijan?

Israel's defense forces themselves say there is no evidence or proof yet of Iranian involvement.

They could have crates of rockets that say Property of Iran and a note that says "To Hamas.  With love, Iran" and they wouldn't speak to Iranian involvement at this time. They have a direct and immediate conflict with Hamas on their doorstep to address.  Inciting or inviting Iran to get involved with a statement like that isn't remotely smart or savvy

No, it is an idiotic question that has been debunked and what you imagine is just another manifestation of you leaping indiscriminately to the wrong conclusion.

We have dead Americans and likely American hostages JWags.  And 200K Americans in Israel.  To suggest Iran isn't involved is absolutely ridiculous and their government is a utter s-show that is a total disaster for their own citizens, fInance Islamic Terrorism, and horror on the world at large.    Fk their despicable leadership.
You're damn right we could take the Mullahs out and quickly.   And Iranian citizens would benefit greatly along with the entire world.

It might be easier to just terraform Mars, move all Americans there, and not let anyone else come.
