Iran War now? Yea or nay?

[goodlun]

Interesting anti shit for shit on my social media mostly the same inane dribble as normal, yep this outcome has already been accepted by the us population maybe not agreed with, but accepted. Dumb fucking move Iran, little do they get how much they will suffer as the standard US citizen keeps on keeping on with their standard way of life. Other than the poor young people that are asked to deal with this and their families.

Stuxnet was deployed because it was cheap as shit.

Do you know what bombs cost?

Stuxnet, even more so than Mustard Gas,

was a weapon everyone had directly after it was discovered to be in use.

It was hardly "cheap".

Not to mention the Iranian counter strike on the US banking industry directly after Stuxnet was discovered.

But Stuxnet was effective until discovered though, wasn't it....

[W. Rabbit]

Expected. Or something such.

Funny how quiet the Trump megathread has become at the same time.

It was cheap to develop and deploy, compared to missiles and bombs on jets. And lives.

Stuxnet bought some time.

Time's up.

I'm all for blasting their military into submission,

but you seem a smidge cocky about going into a fight.

It's a fight, both parties are likely going to be a bit bloody by the end.

And the costs will be enormous.

Don't get me wrong, we're in a fight, now I am in it to win it,

and to do so with whatever brutal violence and cost is required.

But, let's not pretend blood on both sides will not flow,

as will costs that will affect the people of both nations.

And many civilian casualties, including children, which is very sad.

The biggest difference is that it will be a fight in their country it will be their cities it will be their civilization that suffers. We won't have blackout here, we won't food rations, the average citizen here isn't likely to feel it.
The pain to the average citizen of each country will be vastly different.
They are inviting a fight into their house.

All it takes is a handful of people willing to die to take down the largest cultural sites in the US without firearms or other obvious public hysteria technologies.

Not to mention huge, mass killing.

Let's just see how the fight plays out before we get all cocky.

[Cassius]

We all agree on is that it would be best if Iran whups us, the UN sanctions us, and Europe sides with Iran, right? That way Trump will look bad. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

Also the attacks in Iraq appear to have been typical Iran bitch move: clear provocation with invitation to escalate, yet ineffective in causing permanent damage. Pretty sure the U.S. got the better of this exchange, depending on the final BDA. Hopefully Trump gets creative and one ups the troll game without bombing Iran directly. Like getting Khomeini to take a DNA test or something. If not, I get that war is bad, but can we all just stand back and marvel at the fact that this could theoretically lead to a situation where two world leaders argue on social media while our troops meet on the battlefield. What a time to be alive!

It would be good if this leads to the toppling of the regime from within. The Iranian people as a whole have suffered enough while the powers that be have carried on without need.

Not one boot on their soil.

There. I said "regime change".

Iran does not want a war they cannot in any way win. They hope to save face to allow them to continue their proxy path with a modicum of respect.

Armchair quarterbacking.

Iranian women are hot.

Iranian wrestlers are demi-gods.

The food is pretty good.

Many Iranians make homemade wine and beer in secret in their basements.

What is not to love about the Iranian people?

Governments, well, they all leave something to be desired,

and are at best not quite fresh fish.

It's not cockiness, it's a simple truth, we will bleed no questions about it, but actual war will be brought to their lands if their is a war. That will be terrible. This isn't glee this isn't boasting, this is the sad truth that they will have high explosive ordinance rained down on their lands. The US might stuffer terrorist strikes on soft targets and that too is terrible but the asymmetry of pain from having a war in your backyard will be profound. I feel for the people of that country if this ramps up.
I feel for the friends and family of our own military as well. It's dumb plain old fucking dumb to invite the most well funded military on the planet to bring death to your doorstep.

So much for Trump's chess playing. He was sucked in, just like Putin and Kim sucked him in.

Do you really believe Iran can't murder your whole family, right now, using domestic means?

Especially you. Everything you've ever posted is on the table, so to speak. As is mine.

I was not aware China had responded, yet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Trump hate, Trumpity, Cheeto, Trump-hysteria, bloobity bloobity bloob.

This was a long time coming,

and Obama did nothing but enable and delay it.

We're in a fight.

Let's win it, now.
