Thread: so america is marching on iran...

I'm not sure about the "marching on Iran" bit, but the sputtering US economy is what would drive any invasion.

Is this breaking news? I don't see anything about it on the interwebz.

As for the economy thing, there isn't too much more to it than that. Sure there's some foreign policy spin thrown in here and there, but it's predominantly about money/energy.

Almost a year ago.

That old cliche " a weeks a long time in politics " has never been truer has it. Pakistan isnt even mentioned in the newspaper article, im sure it would be now.

Well that sounds fantastic.

So were starting a war with them with israel as our go to guy (for anything in the middle east, brought up at the un, is voted no! Except for these two) they've been planning this for a month now. While economy is a factor there's something else going on, we've had issues with iran forever. And iran possibly now has nuclear weapons. Goddamn cia...

I see what you mean. Sorry, I was taking it a little more literally than you intended.

I would suggest that China has a very big role in what is happening with respect to Iran and it's nuclear program. Especially when it comes to the Stuxnet virus. Fortunately for China, it is quite easy for people to point their fingers at the US and Israel when things like this happen.

I'm not saying this trying to exonerate the US or Israel, at all. They are certainly quite active in Iran and have made it quite clear to the world what their thoughts are on Iran's quest for nuclear capability.

Anyway, there has been quite a bit of history with the US and Iran - eg. getting Shah Pahlavi in power - but there are many other nations with interests in Iran at the moment.

i really dont think Iran is the biggest threat to the west, Iran have had plenty of opportunities to have a go at the west over the past two decades and they never have. Maybe im wrong, but the last time Iran went to war was in the early 80s, they were invaded by Iraq and defended themselves. Who are the west to say to Iran we dont like the fact that you have nuclear capabilities, we dont trust you so we're going to make it so that you wont have nuclear capabilities even if we have to invade and flatten you like we did to Iraq, now who looks like the loonies?

North Korea cant be totally stable right now can it. The leaders dead and his son Mr Pumpkin Head has taken over, how long will it be before theres some kind of trouble from within North Korea. I think the west would prioritize North Korea, armed forces would be far more valuable to the west if they were in North Korea than in Iran, the end of North Korea as we now know it would free China up diplomatically and thats what we want.

In my opinion and im almost certain it would be the opinion of lots of people that our biggest enemy right now is Pakistan. I think that problem needs dealing with and ending soon, or we might have another world war on our hands.

Fortunately China are a smart nation, why would they want to thrown away the biggest change to Chinese culture in a millenium just to help some middle eastern nation in a war that has nothing to do with them? China are on our side, they have to be or they'll be skint, the USA owes them too much money. Probably the the smartest and shrewdest move any American government has made for a long time.

Pakistan is the spiritual home of Jihad, its welcomed there, their hospitals fling their doors open to injured terrorists and treat them for free no questions asked.Pakistan is the worlds safe haven for islamic terrorists, if the Pakistani government wont sort this out then i think the west should sort it out for them. If Pakistan isnt sorted out, then when the wests troops leave Afghanistan it'll be right back to square one in no time at all, it like putting a band aid on the bullet wound to the head of a dead man. Plus we eliminate what is probably Irans biggest ally, definately its biggest ally should major war break out.


But what do i know!

first things first sorry for bumping or whatever you guys call it here.

if you look back in history you will find that most times its the colapsing econemy that drives us to war in the first place you get oil you get richer people die its called population control either way we cant escape it but as for iran its been coming for a few years now its just a matter of time before the invasion starts who knows maybe this is the start of world war 3??

oh look an entire thread of ppl that know nothing of american politics and are talking out of their asses
