As I understand it (from Al Jazeera + BBC), around a dozen medium range ballistic missiles fired by Iran's Revolutionary Guard have hit two US air bases - Ain Al Asad and another I can't recall. US planes are now in the air heading to hit targets in Iran. The tangerine toddler is currently in the situation room with some grownups deciding which toys to throw next and where to throw them. |

Trump wants a war as a diversion he’s a fucking lunatic he’s taken out a general of a country with a hatred of the USA in one of the most volatile regions on the planet
The instability of the Middle East is incredible I’ve been their
All it’s going to bring is more hatred more killing and more death
There will be no winners only losers |

She’s a mentally ill, terrified little girl that’s being taken advantage of by power and money hungry parents and political elites. I was recycling long before she came along because I’m not clueless. |

I lived in Israel, and yes they are definitely given to reacting fast and hard to any kind of threat. So far, Iran seems to be holding back from attacking Israel - said they will only do so if they allow US to use their air bases. The US plains currently in the air are flying from Diego Garcia so I don't reckon Israel will get hit yet - but you can be sure they'll be on high alert.
Trouble is, even if Israel keep out of it, Iran might still hit them if they feel they want/need other Arab countries to wade in. A mental thing to do, given Israel has more than 200 nuclear warheads and at least two methods of delivery. |

Nukes are used to flex and deter war as soon as one country decided to use them all others will let loose.
So I think it is going to stay troop based, pointless war anyway..
theres a video on trump calling out obama on plans to invade iran in 2011 to get re-elected so i think it was already planned as the next big war. |

I don't think they will yet. As things stand, they'd have too much to loose if Israeli jets targeted their installations. They likely won't hit Israel until they feel they have to. |

The problem is that in Israel, Nutterhehaw is in a similar predicament as Trump - he's facing corruption charges resulting from his dodgy dealing with some submarines, so he might also fancy the diversion. It's pretty fucking high risk though. |

I honestly hope that this doesn't escalate to another war but it seems like that's how it is going...
I have 2 friends living near me in Germany that are US citizens and both half Iranian and they are not related. There is also some Israeli Jews and other expats of different nationalities this will affect in my social circle...
Fingers crossed the world sees sense and this all de-escalates as quick as it all started! |

I didn’t open conversation by insulting you. Speak to me with a bit of respect and you’d have got some back. But then I bet you thought I was the male taking on a thread about war so it was ok to be abusive. |

The rumour my partner is hearing is that he was actively planning to use a Shia cell to attack the US Embassy in Iraq. That’s the word in theatre at least. Whether the US would be able to admit that is a different story. |

True - but it's not just that. In addition to being of less than average intelligence and a sociopathic megalomaniac, he has become increasingly paranoid and neurotic as his impeachment has loomed and his reputation has eroded in the eyes of his international peers. He knows if he doesn't win a second term to put him beyond the statute of limitations, he could die in jail. Basically, he's going mad under his own sword of Damocles - so yes, he's a really fucking dangerous man right now. |

Trump just went to bed after the national security advisors put on his night light and tucked him in.
Secret service took to the streets around the white house and no planes were scrambled to bomb Iran, but the missile carriers were put on standby.
Iran said an attack would take place in America if the US responded, they also said that Israel, Saudi Arabia and Emirates would be hit if America responded. |

I never flew between Israel and Sinai, only went by road and crossed the border at Tabs. If you ask at each side, they'll stamp a separate sheet instead of your passport - but you've got to know to ask... it's not something they advertise. I tried it a Rafah going from Gaza to Egypt but the bastard stamped my passport anyway! |

"We are going to war baby hurrah
Hurrah no just no
Some people are very emotionally detached that they find it easy to just throw words around like this.

I know someone like it who never ceases to stump me for words by it |

"While I do accept sometimes it's a necessary evil and I'm truly thankful to the people who go and do what they have to do.. It's never something to be desired or celebrated. It's always, always a bad thing.
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
It was just before dawn, one miserable morning in black '44..."
And that's how the high command
Took my daddy, from me

So why have we never gone to war with Saudi Arabia? They fit that description too? Their fingers are in everything that goes on in the region whether directly or indirectly.
No one really give a shit what happens out there between them, we only give a shit because they have something we want

""If YoU DoNt LiKe WhAt iM SayIng DoNt rEaD it" lmaoo
Nukes are used to flex and deter war as soon as one country decided to use them all others will let loose.
So I think it is going to stay troop based, pointless war anyway..
theres a video on trump calling out obama on plans to invade iran in 2011 to get re-elected so i think it was already planned as the next big war."
Definitely this was always planned ahead. |

War is never good.
The only people who find it good are the arms manufactors.
Have got mates who have been in the army/navy now suffering with PTSD, I worked in a place where victims of war would come to.
WAR IS A BAD THING and in this case instigated by an idiot. Just my pers opinion

Even if they blow the shit out of Tehran and take out their whole regime and remove the leaders it will leave a massive power vacuum in that country exactly the same problem in Iraq
It’s been an oppressive regime for decades there is no opposition party to take control
It’s a complete shit storm in the most volatile region the Middle East
Tehran as much as flicks a bogey at Israel them
Fuckers will let loose all manner of doomsday shit they have a 200 strong nuclear arsenal and the only non Arab state in the region and they will fuckin do it they are nuts
It don’t look good I know that
Trump needs a distraction from his impeachment shit hence let’s start a war

How do you know I haven’t?
I’ve said this repeatedly on numerous threads now - I’m a political realist, not a moral idealist. Politics doesn’t care about feelings and nor should it. As much as people love to virtue signal and talk about how horrible it is that we could be going to war with yet another Middle Eastern country, fact of the matter is if Iran or any other nation threatening western civilisations grinding gears manages to actually jam the machine, you’ll be the first to know about it. And you’ll be the first to demand something be done about it. Unaffordable petrol and diesel, fuel blockades, protests and food distribution lines will soon have you back demanding we invade this country or that country....setting this tariff or that, economic sanctions on this regime or that...
Global politics is a dangerous game, and whether you choose to admit to yourself or not, everything you do, every single facet of your modern western life, is paid for in blood. Either blood of our armed forces or the blood of the manufacturers or the countries that feed the engine of our society. War is a massive part of it, and has been ever since human civilisation began. There’s only one ancient society that I know of that was founded on trade rather than the necessity of coming together for war.
Charging your phone, the plastic packaging your food comes and stays fresh for long in, even turning the tap on, is all paid for in oil and blood. And all the political machinations of western democracies, whether you want to admit it or not, all goes into maintaining this way of life we enjoy. The way of life that you’d wail and gnash your teeth over if it was directly threatened.
Trust me, being a political realist is easier. Accepting the truth of it, even if you don’t really want to admit it to anyone else because of how ugly it is, is a huge weight off your shoulders. |

I have nothing person against any of the views expressed here.
But War only brings destruction and loss to those that are innocent.
The media is a poisonous disease that plague whoever they fancy.
We should think about all the mass killings as well around the world that are happening and media not showing the real story.
We are so sick. Some of us applaud this behaviour. Shame on you.
Power and resource hungry scum keep destroying lives.
So sad |

Cool your jets people there will be no war.
Some people read a few headlines and then get childishly excited at the prospect of a conflict.
Meanwhile in the real world real experts see that this is a face saving exercise and both sides are steering away from a full blown conflict.
No war here, next news story please |

You would think Greta & her followers would appreciate a “good” war.
Being a bit more of a feet on the ground rather than head in the clouds guy I see climate issues as not what we waste, what we consume etc. It’s just us, there are far too many of us
1800 global population approx 1Billion 2016 6.7billion. Global warming on the increase pretty much since the industrial revolution in the 1800’s & this is what’s blamed.
Together with the growth of worldwide population. Cut the number of population you cut consumption & use of resources. Therefore cutting global warming.
Soylent Green anyone?

"Trump wants a war as a diversion he’s a fucking lunatic he’s taken out a general of a country with a hatred of the USA in one of the most volatile regions on the planet
The instability of the Middle East is incredible I’ve been their
All it’s going to bring is more hatred more killing and more death
There will be no winners only losers "
I have said this since he did it its a diversion tactic
No one truly wins a war
The people who pay are a million miles away from the decision makers.
Trump needs to go he is dangerous |

Not for hundreds of years but if we continue to move at a snails pace I can see whole densely populated countries ceasing to exist by the hand of a “World Green coalition” of mankind savers.
Once the “Real” tipping point is close all options will be on the table.

The Iranian that got whacked has been pulling the strings behind proxy wars all over the middle east for decades, French intelligence also suggests that he was behind the WMD claims that led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and he then went on to supply the roadside bombs that killed and maimed hundreds of ISAF troops. He was also responsible for killing over 1500 protesters in his own country recently. Trump may be a dick but he's not as dangerous as Qassem who'd had it coming for a long time. |

This is the thing. I do not support war in any way, nor do I like Trump but it is naive to think that it can always be avoided.
It is a very tricky and difficult line to walk as there will always be people and countries against others. Some of them (well all of them to be fair) pulling strings in the shadows. One way or another the situation needs to be taken care of.
Yes a lot of this will be used as a distraction, and a chance to profit but at the same time the other side is hardly innocent in things.
What do you do if somebody is plotting and doing pretty horrible things. Just let them continue or try to stop them. Peace talks only do so much. While war does not exactly make things better.
Really is not black and white at all. Global politics and peace between other nations is a very complex dance that I don't think many people fully grasp.
Same goes for the whole allies thing. Go to war as an ally (right or wrong) or don't, and risk fragmenting an alliance. Its just not simple.

It was clear yesterday that this was stabilising.
Don't read the headlines watch the oil price.
Flatlined yesterday, bobbed up slightly on news of the airstrikes but was quickly back to were it was by 8am this morning, whilst the news was still talking war.
Has now tanked completely. |
