IT'S A TRUTH NOT A TWEET!

Im
I'm not for invasion, I'm for eliminating worldwide problems/fkbags.  That includes completely decimating these governments economically.  Now ideally I would have Denzel, Bronson, Neeson, and Beekeeper type dudes solving these issues quickly, but understand it's a little more complicated with some of them.

You don't seem to understand how the world works - at all.  Eliminating individuals does not solve problems. Are you naive enough to think that if Hitler was somehow assasinated early on that WWII would have been avoided? The Holocaust too?

[MuggsyB]

Muggs, even giving you the benefit of the doubt.  The minute you start bringing up FICTIONAL MOVIE PROTAGONISTS to buttress a plan for violence driven world peace, you lose most all credibility in the most generous of lens.

That's why I stated "ideally" whick is a bit tounge and cheek.  I understand these are movies.  I'm just saying it would be welcomed if it was possible .

Yes, I think if Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and other fkbags were stopped early a tremendous amount of lives would have been saved.

Lot of chatter that the Ayatollah is going to be removed.  Whether that means anything given its a push by the current government and not the result of an internal revolution remains to be seen, but the most optimistic viewpoint could hope that it means some sort of positive change in Tehran.  If only by moving on from a 90 year old hard line fundamentalist despot who has been in power for 35+ years.

Will it matter if the US/Israel doesn't approve of the new chosen leader?

Very simplistic and likely very false.

What if Eve hadn't been tempted?

And, Iran will likely now pursue a nuclear weapon for real, and can have one in less than a year. Iran will also bolster their military, build more missiles, better air defense systems, and next time if they think they can do damage to Israel will attack unilaterally as revenge. In the meantime, they will use proxies to attack the US and Israel.

They will need a lot of help from Russia and/or China to accomplish this, and sure, maybe they'll get it.

Did you happen to catch that the White House occupant referred to himself as DONAKD J. TRUMP a couple days ago? Thakt's hilarikus!

The MODS must be really on vacation or their line in the sand on no politics has blown away.

 I was.  What did I miss?

The "Great Man" theory of history has been largely debunked.

Here's an interesting summary from German Lopez of the NYT:

Trump at first claimed that American bombs obliterated Iran's nuclear program. So far, though, much remains unsettled:

Did the U.S. strikes destroy their targets? American officials say that U.S. bombs and missiles did "severe" damage to Iran's nuclear facilities. But we still don't know much about their effect, particularly on Fordo, where Iran enriches uranium. The military had previously claimed that it could wipe out the site with just two bunker-busting bombs; it ultimately dropped a dozen.

Officials may not get answers for days or weeks, if ever. The same trait that makes Fordo so hard to strike — that it's deep underground — also makes gauging its status difficult.

Does Iran have a secret enrichment facility? Before the U.S. attacks, Iran said that it had built a new enrichment site, its third, "in a secure and invulnerable location." The facility is possibly under a mountain, similar to Fordo. If it's up and running with the newest centrifuges, it could enrich uranium for nuclear weapons within months.

Where is Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium? American officials concede that they don't know. Iran might have moved it before the strikes, given all the warnings about a looming U.S. attack. The 880 pounds of uranium — enough to fit in the trunks of 10 cars — is enriched to 60 percent purity, below the 90 percent used in nuclear weapons, David Sanger, who covers national security, reported.

Will Iran rebuild? Its leaders may decide that the pursuit of nuclear weapons is futile — that Israel and the United States will simply destroy anything Iran creates. But after seeing how easily Israel and America blew through its defenses, Iran may instead conclude the opposite: that the best way to protect itself is a nuclear deterrent. After all, that strategy has recently worked for Russia and North Korea.

Wow, insanity seems to reside comfortably in your mind.

^^^ ban worthy multiple times a day. It's pathetic.

[The Sultan]

Nope. I am a student of history. It's simple to blame one person because people want to personify evil into one character. But in reality, people like Hitler are representative of larger dynamics at play within a nation at large. Sure a charasmatic figure can take advantage of that or push it further, but getting rid of that leader rarely makes the underlying society change.

Perhaps not politics, but you've been reported as much as or more than MU82 the past few weeks.  Glass house and all...pathetic.

If I posted my 5-point plan, I'd get banned

"Perhaps not politics", yet the one Pinned post in The Superbar is by you... "Politics ban warning". lol

[Shaka Shart]

I was.  What did I miss?

The triumphant return of the 5 point plan

[tower912]

Which apparently involves John Wick and a time machine.

[Shaka Shart]

To be fair, continuously posting graphic homosexual innuendos about a poster isn't political.

Just kinda unsettling

[rocky_warrior]

Politics bans happen all the time, some happened today.  But it's only one reason people get banned.  Being consistently insufferable is another reason, it earned Chicos his lifetime respite.

I remember reading an account of a British sniper team having found a perfect place to take out Hitler prewar, but they decided to not go ahead with the plan.

The Muggsy solution would have been to proceed with the operation. Making assumptions as to the outcome-war avoided! Nazism collapses! The German nation sees the evil of its way! - is ridiculous. A more stable leader taking over may have avoided the decision to invade Russia and instead finished off England while it was on the ropes or built an atomic bomb long before the US did. Yes, pure speculation on my part, but at least I am identifying it as such.

If Putin is assassinated, there is no reason to assume that Russia will be less of a threat under whomever replaces him. Things could get much worse. Or not. No one knows.

Did we end up delaying the end of the Ayatollah Khamenei regime because we 5 point planned the very popular Soleimani while he was in Iraq?

Who knows, but that certainly did not improve the opinion of America for the Iranian public.
