This brutal murderous power hungry terrorist islamic regime will not go away by peaceful means. They would kill the whole Iran's population in order to continue their dirty subhuman lives in absolute power. Hopefully tighter sanctions would cripple the regime (Europeans must stop prostituting themselves to mullahs and try to deal with the devil though I won't expect same from Russians as they are the devil), and the sanctions would pour more hard hit Iranians into streets which I fear would result in more bloodshed and then general strike would follow and then I am hoping that the regime may become weak enough unable to pay its thugs or the revolutionary thugs stop killing and the regime at that point to be removed without a major bloodshed however, regretfully in my view the only way to remove this murderous regime is by a violent revolution. For that the nation needs to be armed. Edited January 13, 2020 by CITIZEN_2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think KSA is just gonna sit back and watch what happens in Iran next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice of them to bear the burden of cleaning up the mess on their doorstep rather than counting on Uncle Sam to do their dirty work.

Those Saudi a-holes have a bit of an advantage with the USA as they signed a deal with Roosevelt, I believe in 1943...to assist in Lend-Lease and oil supplies. "The defense of Saudi Arabia is vital to the defense of the United States"...stated FDR...hasn't changed since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a bogeyman and a team to cheerlead to function and make sense of the narrative that simplifies how the world works. I get it.

Don't bother, education is simply an accreditation scam at this point, spend your capital on acquiring investment property, be a landlord, you've already learned all you need to know at the school of hard knocks.

marcus Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) I have a theory as to why Trump decided to take out Soleimani: John Bolton will most likely testify in the hearings. He was pushed out and left on bad terms. John Bolton, a neo-con, has been pushing for 'regime change' in the middle-east for over 2 decades. Apparently, he was too much of a hawk for Trump and that's why he was pushed out. Perhaps, killing Soleimani was a way to quench Bolton's thirst for military force, in order to, perhaps, stop him from giving damaging testimony in the impeachment hearings.

Reading a book doesn't have to cost money. Talking to someone who isn't in your circle doesn't have to cost money.

All Canadians are fortunate, and yet we for some reason do not or can not share that, we are a country full of finger pointers that will not stand up and take some action, we sit here and complain, but offer no solutions....that is what this nation needs to stand up for our forgotten moral values and do something constructive, anything, just something ….we as a people are always asking what is in it for me...just look at the last election...we did not vote in the best guy, but the guy who promised the most.... As a military man I've learned a lot of things, I live with some regret , no more than anyone else, one of those regrets was thinking that my government , and it's citizens would always have my back, the citizens would never allow our soldiers to be misused, or sent to battle needlessly....I quickly learned that is not true at all, don't get me wrong there are some good people out there, they just are not the majority, who really don't care about our military or the people that served in it, sure some say they do, but words are cheap.. just not enough to force our government into acting …. ....I continued to serve these same people not out of love for them or my country....but because it was the only way I could protect my brothers and sisters in arms.. My family, people who were in the same boat, shared the same ups and downs of the job, shared the same enjoyment of serving something bigger, the love of the job, the sense of gratification you got from helping someone down and out like the Afghan people. or sanding bagging someone's home in a flood zone in NB, who is defeated by mother nature but continues to try and save there home anyway, or helping people during the ice storm....... not going to lie the adrenaline rush you got from combat is addictive...but not enough to be the one reason to stay...I've also learned that man is one evil dude when they want to be, capable of horrors unknown to most of the western population, and while we say it would be a good caus we sit and watch and do nothing... .....I won't lie I have wept for lost comrades, they have sacrificed everything for the man left or right of them, not for medals or profit, but for their brothers ands sisters. I know that is hard to understand, but it happens every day in the forces...sure when you place a soldier in front of a camera they'll tell you its for Queen and country...and for the folks back home.... Your right I had no good reason to tell you to pack your stuff up and leave, for that I am sorry... .

Shady Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 As per the Washington Post: ISTANBUL — Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is facing crises on multiple fronts as it grapples with the killing of its chief military strategist, Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, and a domestic backlash over the downing of a passenger jet, according to analysts and officials in the region. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/irans-revolutionary-guards-wrestle-with-new-reality-after-killing-of-their-chief-military-strategist/2020/02/21/db35985c-53f1-11ea-80ce-37a8d4266c09_story.html In other words, despite handwringing from political pundits, the strike has worked, and was a success.
