    Influential elements in the Iraqi government are complicit in this as well. I'm starting to think war in the short term may be inevitable but the conditions are pure shit. Having the Kurds on our side sure would be fucking nice right about now.
    I feel like nukes are a viable option. Seriously like the only real reason we are even in that shithole is for the oil, but the thing is oil can be pumped from a glass parking lot just as easy. The zealots that live there will never stop attacking us even if we did leave so why not just ICBM the fuck outa that entire region??

    Launching missiles into Iran or Iraq only helps extend the conflict with military means. That is supposed to be something the US is moving away from, at least with Iran.

    Almost all US warfare towards Iran over the last 40 years has ended poorly for us. That includes Stuxnet, which practically birthed the Iranian Cyber Army and made Iran one of the biggest players at that table.

    Nah. This blood vendetta thing thrives in Iran. It's an enormous part of their ruling regime's ideology.

    Remember what they did the Salmon(sp?) Rushdie? Same thing.

    Saddam put a price on GHW's head.

    Rather than take a rash action now, I think the better move is to wait for an opportunity to end him without making him a martyr.

    On the same token, I also think if we managed to pressure their own government to silence him on the subject it would create a lot of resentment toward Khameini and be a win/win.

    Post Stress Traumatic Disorder...meh close enough for horsehoes,hand grenades, and Iranian rockets.
    Yeah, it's as insignificant an error as transposing the e and i in "their".

    Its dangerous to just presume that they also have PTSD.
    Some, heck maybe all might end up with it, but you don't get to make that call.

    I think you will find the whole of Europe shitting their pants every time he speaks in contrast to a few months ago when they all laughed.

    Not unlike your President, he may do stupid shit , lie and be generally unworthy of his position but he has the power to effect allot of people in Europe .
