In this situation our allies count, irans allies only count if they're dumb enough to think Iran will win, they started hostilities so the don't have a leg to stand on in calling on allies

yeah i'm pretty sure the rest of the Middle East is going to side with us because Iran was in the wrong here

That'd be fucking hilarious if a ME coalition helps us nae-nae the Iranian military <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

and hopefully this could be the start of bringing about peace in the middle east

They will if it escalates, Iran made sure of that

Direct threats on UAE and Dubai

only tyrant regimes that have been oppressing their own people will back tyrant regimes in Iran

so Iran is already divided

their people want freedom/peace

Not even, I think the other tyrant regimes hate Iran more than US right now

so Solemeini and his fellow butt buddies have been behind all the terrorism

and once all of them are knocked out

they're done for

that's how i'm understanding this

i'm pretty sure if we can get Muslim migrants on board with the motive of bringing about peace in their homelands, we can turn their own people against them if there is a common goal of peace

and they'll go home now that there's nothing to fear

because you gotta remember *why* they migrated in the first place

In regards to the Greens in Australia, I've also heard similar. A Green supporter I talked to said that the Greens were for controlled burns, but suggested that if the bans were put in place it would be to protect the wildlife, as apparently controlled burns weren't taking into account the ecology in the area. I haven't verified it because I don't care too much, but that's just what I've heard.

Im an aussie and spent most of my childhood in and around country towns where bushfires are a very real risk. There are plenty of stories about greenies from the cities that dont understand how the australian bush works trying to stop people from doing things that help reduce the risk of bushfires

2 main examples of this are stopping hazard reduction burning (backburning) where they can and closing access to roads used by firefighters to the general public

that last example is an issue because people that use those roads often bring chainsaws and such when using them, helping to keep them cleared and ready for use when a fire does actually hit. Those roads are critical for firefighters to get into hard to reach areas to put fires out when that is an option

in all seriousness the greens party is horrible for the australian environment and the people involved with it have little to no knowledge about what it is they claim to protect (its either that or they are actually evil, which I doubt is the case for most/all of them)

there is an issue a hobby fisherman mentioned to me about somewhere he used to go fishing that had a huge introduced fish problem. The introduced fish were outcompeting the native fish which was causing a decline in the native fish population. The greens solution to this was to ban fishing in that area -_-

It has began.

Let now see would there be an all out war?

What do you think?

Latest updates says no casualties

So would Trump retaliate with a full fledged airstrike or would he order the troops to just keep their heads down?

who knows? too early to tell

Maybe another Gulf War?

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] Damn, that's some autism

love people from the country, no filter...all truth

Maybe he can't afford filters after this

Invasion of Iran: Expensive. Way more than Iraq. Iran's strategy: Welcome guys, enjoy Vietnam/Afghanistan-style guerrilla war when you run out of gas, only facing better weapons and training. Solution: Siege Iran's ports and trade routes instead. Destroy strategic facilities through air superiority, such as factories and bunkers. Cheap in comparison, and very expensive for Iran.

@kebman more or less my argument. The people aren't interested in an occupation, and the current political promises don't allow for it without consequences.

Destroying their air defense systems, aircraft, select refineries, and their ports? Much more effective in terms of gross economic costs.
