This makes us better, no?
You think we are better than Iran because we overthrow governments illegally?

Just put me on ignore, probably for the best.Ha, didn't realise you were joking
There goes trying to be diplomatic in my disagreement!
We're on the winning side, no? May the best man win and all that.You think we are better than Iran because we overthrow governments illegally?

I still say it's the terrorist state, Saudi Arabia, via one of it's many terrorist group proxies.
I wouldn't trust Iran to wipe my arse. It's run by an oppressive regime, just like other Islamic nations. If western forces weren't there to stop them they would be forcing their ideals on the world just as Hitler attempted to do.
The US at least respects the rights of individuals and maintains a free country. Where you won't get executed for suggesting that an imaginary "prophet" from a badly written book isn't real.
You are saying the US isn't itching for a war with Iran? Eh?
The staged gas attack in Douma (April 2018) is the most recent one.
Are you disputing anything he says?
"Conspiracy theorist" is such a lazy slur.
Pfft, Iran has never had that potency, load of ***** comparing it to the powerhouse that German states have almost always been. Too bad the US can't really say much when it allowed Riyadh to massacre thousands of American citizens, the right to life of which was swiftly removed and abused to go to war with some totally irrelevant nation.
The US can't moralise Iran whilst forgetting it's supporting an even more abrasive 'ally', who happily exports the absolute worst death cults and faith schools around the world. As well Iran only being an enemy because the CIA failed to overthrow a democratic government is hardly a high point, this is a self-inflicted wound like everything else it's done there since the early 20th century.
We need to bomb Iran's uranium enrichment sites asap
you'd do well to not even entertain discussion with the troll.Evidence please.
Evidence please. Also, you said the USA has a history of 'using false flags/lies to justify war', but you can only think of one (alleged) example? Not only that, but the USA was already fighting Syria when the Douma attack occurred, so...
To be fair they posted enough credible information in the Syria/ISIS thread that shoots the official Western narrative full of holes
there is no definite proof as to the actual nature of the event.
While the US has been involved with Syria aside from the missile strikes against supposed chemical warfare related infrastructure it has been largely support for various groups and a limited presence bordering Iraq and they've not had much of a pretext for more significant involvement although I'm not sure as they really need one - although saying that several times Obama set "red lines" that Syria then crossed without much repercussion should the US be looking for a pretext.
Israel's defence budget is $18.5bn dollars, it's obviously impossible for them to have a small submarine in that area though. What's the motivation for Iran to attack a tanker when they would inevitably suffer economic and possibly military retaliation? What do they get out of it?
Are you aware of who runs Iran? They're not exactly of a sound mind, theyre one of Hezbollahs mains sponsors for a start.
Iran are under heavy sanctions and oil prices have now shot up, the few countries who are still buying from them will have to pay a lot more. Iran's economy could collapse and the fall out could see a government overthrow so I'd say they have a rather big incentive to drive up oil prices and protect their economy. The thing is if they have done it they'll have just paid some ISIS frogmen so it'll be impossible to prove either way, as it's going to be impossible to prove people will just blame either Iran or Israel depending on their own bias.
You think we are better than Iran because we overthrow governments illegally?
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
We're not talking about some two bit Middle Eastern dictatorship here; Iran is a seriously powerful nation. The USA would suffer a world of hurt for no gain whatsoever. It would make the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan look like a Sunday School picnic.
There is literally no benefit for the USA whatsoever in a war with Iran.
Because November 5th is a long way away and he's impatient?Why? Iran are no threat to us.
I think he was talking, wrongly or rightly, in terms of aspiration rather than potential. Other than the hardline units most everyday Iranians have no interest in war - Nazi Germany had something like a million plus committed professional soldiers as well as the everyday forces I doubt modern Iran would prevail against WW2 Germany in all out war for that matter.
The problem is one day they might be able to do it if we ignore them. The fact Russia is backing them just speaks volumes about them as well tbh.
Aggressively targeting the country with heavy sanctions causing widespread shortages and attacking its neighbours will definitely slow down any efforts to persuade the Iranian people to militarise. Without doubt. If we didn't do these things and just ignored the country, why the populace would see us as a threat almost overnight.
