You've cried Wolf on Iran to many times, they have zero reason to beleive your bluster.
ReplyDeleteHey fazman - what bluster is that? Ask Soleimani about "bluster" - or Kataib Hezbollah. Or ask about the slow Iranian economic strangulation bluster. The decision not to wipe out the entire energy infrastructure of Iran isn't crying wolf, its a geopolitical calculation. As would the decision to go ahead with the mission.
ReplyDeleteBut go ahead and explain the "bluster".
Ummm if you attack us you will pay a heavy price, if you destroy infrastructure you will pay a heavy price...
DeleteDon't kid yourself.. Drone down... Nothing
Saudi hit... Nothing
Rocket attack on U. S base nothing....
Russ, shore leave is canceled! KP duty the rest of the week! I want that toilet seat so clean I could eat off it!
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:56,
ReplyDeleteI heard tell you took the corona seat challenge, licked the seat, caught corona, and then blamed Trump.
California 'influencer' says he is in hospital with coronavirus just days after posting a video of himself licking a toilet bowl for a revolting TikTok challenge
No KP duty for you. Sergeant didn't trust you. So the army booted you with a section 8.
756 is a pro.
DeleteYour count is short Russ,
ReplyDeleteTrump got Soleimani & Kataib Hezbollah plus others. He did not open the gates of the deluge, but 50-some IRGC were arrested, executed or shoved aside. The deaths lasted well after Soleymani assumed room temperature.
Of course a web search brings up articles by Time, Vox, The Atlantic and every other Leftwing rag written by wingnuts, who say killing Soleimani was a mistake. They say it will reinvigorate Iran just like the death of Yamamoto reinvigorated Imperial Japan.
These nutters only mention Syria and Iraq to make their case. It is as if Yemen Lebanon, Hamas, South America, and West Africa do not exist. Come to think of it these writers are not worth one cent of what they are paid.
Solemani etc were secret assassinations, tell me when has trump ever made good on his fire and fury threats?
DeleteHe threatens, Iran acts... He backs down and encourages Iranian adventirisim
Good points, anon 8:23 and lol anon 8:04
ReplyDeletemore bluster, again

DeleteHow's that regime change going? Did it happen yet? What about Venezuela? Any day now, wait for it.......
ReplyDeleteSomething is happening. Cuba sent its doctors home. They were not getting paid by Venezuela. Revolution put on hold. FARC on its own again.
ReplyDeleteA little peon like you wants instant gratification, but these thing could take a few years to a decade to play out.
I'll just say this, SM-6.
ReplyDeleteFazman - the March 13 strike on Kataib Hezbollah was definitely fire and fury. You just didn't hear about it. Its not necessary to go into all out war every time Iranian proxies lob a rocket. The retaliation is proportional.
ReplyDeleteAlso, note the decrease in the harassment of the Israelis of late.
