  5. Whenever the Empire feels that it's resources is dwindling, they want to choose a country to invade and replenish.

    It was Iraq, tried Russia and failed, now Iran? Which is next

  6. Israel has already attempted an attack on Iran, but changed their minds when Israelis piloting American F-35s realized Iranian defences could see through their magical cloaking devices. They simply got scared, dropped their ordnance in the middle of the desert, turned around and ran home.

  7. So President TACO wants to divert attention from domestic issues by sending boys and girls to fight on a foreign land?

  8. The U.S and Israel will likely strike Iran on June 24th.
    With Trump in charge that means he will likely let the DoD handle the Operation how they see fit and not allow the State Dept., Lawyers or bureaucrats determine how the strikes will go down.
    Given that Israel flew into Iranian airspace on October 26th 2024 and hit a dozen targets without losing a single bird, and that the U.S has tech that is even superior to that; I'm guessing that Iran is going to be in a world of hurt.
    That will also send a message to Russia and China as well.
    Also, for those who are trying to say we lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, either your completely unread on the subjects or out of your minds.

  12. Why can’t Iran have a nuclear weapon, when Israel can, Pakistan and India and America can? Seriously how is Iran any worse than Israel or Iran?

  13. And then, Iran targets Europe’s energy sources in the gulf … after the US severed Russia’s gas supplies to Europe … guess which economy will suffer the most? … yup, you guessed right, the headless European economy !
