Ok 2 things... 1. I'm not convinced that's true. I see Netanyahu give his speeches. That guy is extremely dangerous. A fanatic. 2. Would a nuclear exchange between Isreal and Iran affect either American continent to any great degree?

Dweebles...do you really think Russia is still communist?

I care about Iran having nukes about as much as I care that Isreal has nukes. Sorry man but I cant get behind this. If Isreal has a problem...let Isreal deal with it.

Knowing what I do about Isreal, and that iran just isnt a realistic threat to the USA, I just cant get behind this crap.

No I dont. This is half your problem. You make stupid assumptions. Welcome to the 70% club.

Im a right winger. But I cannot abide stupidity. This "war" appears to only benefit Isreal. Thus its stupid for America to get involved. All they've done is reverse the direction of the economy. Considering that 70% of humans are not all that sharp, it is an up-hill battle.

No. Im anti-stupid.

This war makes no sense. If its all about Isreal...they should have the balls to say so. Isreal poses no benefit to America and Iran poses no threat to America. All they've accomplished is to reverse the deflation we were enjoying. I've heard some say that. Should it happen...the Gawd of that burnt desert wins i guess.

And? Is Russia not allowed to engage in business?

What shared strategic interests?

No. Im still wondering what realistic threat Iran poses to America? It appears to be little to none. In which case, America has become a Zionist stooge.

Interesting. So you think russia is weak and Europe is strong? Man...you sure do dream big. Been listening to General Jack Keane?

Respond to Iran...responding to America's attempted coup...in Iran. Are you listening to yourself?

Ok. That's a reasonable answer. So...those bases...many in Iraq where The Coalition of The Willing destroyed the place looking for WMD that didn't exist. In Syria where the "terrorist" the US went to fight, is now the head of state, and others in nations the US has "protection rackets" going. Why not just remove them? Or at least have them stop firing missiles at Iran.

Yes? I know there's been attacks on bases over there but locally its been just a couple of lone wolf type things and they happened after America blew stuff up in Iran.

That's actually not true. SOME Arabs...mostly the Shia Persians...attacked Europe. Yet in their extreme stupidity, Europe allowed millions of Shia Muslims flood the continent. But we digress. Why is America so concerned with these people? Could it have something to do with the petro-dollar?

Terrorism...in America? Or on US bases in the Middle East?

And that's America's concern...why?

"Britain took control of most of the Middle East, including the area that constitutes modern Israel. 17 years later, in 1936, the Arabs rebelled against the British and against the Jewish neighbors." Yet knowing how the Arabs felt about the Brits and the Jews and their...brand of control, they decided to force the issue. So while it appears you're right about the 3 state solution, knowing how the 2 didn't get along well, why plop the Jews in the middle of a hornets nest? Besides...I seriously doubt either were willing to live peacefully.

But Isreal and the USA caused the closing of the strait. Had they not, prices would still be dropping.

Sane? I'm not sure there's much of a difference between Iran's position and Isreal's. Its such a mess. Why couldn't the Isrealis have been satisfied with the original 2 state solution? A lot of this shit could have been avoided.

Ok...let's be clear. Judaism is a religion. Isreal is a nation. Islam is a religion. Iran is a nation. Neither are a race of people. Iranians are Persian and most Isrealis are Yidish Central European. I never said either were evil. I did say the God they claim to worship...doesn't seem like a very nice entity. All in the name of the 'God' of Isreal. There are a lot o' people who would dispute that. Usury is a Jewish thing. Why? Pakistan has them. India has them. Lot of countries have them. It could be a sort of counter-weight to Isreal. But they were. And the Roman's were not the first. The Egyptians were. Always the same story. Setup shop...get turfed...setup shop...get turfed. The way they're acting now, they may get turfed again. Or enact their "glass parkinglot" threat. Nice God. Niiice God...

We're just starting retirement and we want to upgrade our Bohemian country home too. Pretty good skiing there too. I find hang-overs are a tad more intense now.

Saw Melania's movie last night. Boring.

Lol...ya my wife is...a little high-strung. She's a master of "the banshee scream". A sound most men will do anything to avoid. Luckily...after 35 years...I've become immune. Or willfully deaf.. Agreed. I enjoy going up...shooshing down...glass o' mulled red wine. Repeat till dinner time.
