War during an election year? I highly doubt he is dumb enough to underestimate Iran's capabilities. I'm thinking this is a bluff, he knows somehow Iran is full of sht about retaliating. I'm thinking this is a show of alpha in the region, he look at me, I did this, and if you do something I'll do more. Sort of speaking language everyone in the middle east understands. What's your take on this?

My take is enemies of the US should only see and expect rightful power in return if they attack us, not weakness anymore.
Yes, they do understand power more than most after centuries of regional war…
The longterm strategy is unknown, but when we’re on the right track its not a bluff of Any kind.

Trump is a little bvtch. He will do anything he thinks will help him win re-election, as the Presidency is the only thing keeping him out of prison.

Then the next question becomes Why do you think this Forum is an effective recipient of political hate speech venting/propaganda …

Trump isnt bluffing. His re-election is practically guaranteed now that this situation has escalated.

In 2016 80% of Evangelicals voted for Trump. You can expect that number to rise up to 95% in Nov 2020 because Evangelicals believe in that End Times nonsense.

Impeachment is also DOA because Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (Dem) is pro-Israel and he is in favor of military action against Iran, so he'll secretly cooperate with McConnell to protect Trump.

Impeachment was always nothing more than a political gambit, but now, just like Russiagate, it's completely backfired against the Democrats.

No Republican Senator would dare vote in favor of Impeachment because of the Evangelical voting bloc.

It's over for the Dem candidates. Trump will be in office until Jan 2025 and after his 2nd term ends he'll still be protected by special interests.

The dnc is going to try to ram biden down everyone's throat just like they did hillary. Rumors are that obama is watching the bernie campaign closely, and if it looks like bernie is doing too well, obama will come out for biden before super tuesday and rally the black vote against bernie.

Iranian Sean Connery was obviously evil and deserved to die. But whether or not it was tactically wise remains to be seen. Iran has no incentive remaining to not pursue nukes. The choice here is between killing their holy man leader and turning the arab world against you, or letting a muslim nut job get nukes. Pick your poison.

Iranians are not Arabs. Their language is Indo-European, they're more related to White Europeans than they are to Arabs whom are Semitic. Arab nations like Saudi Arabia wont have any love loss for Iran.

That's a pretty solid read of the situation.

If I were Pelosi I would just sit on the impeachment articles. She doesn't need to hand them over to the Senate. Trump could remain "impeached" without a trial taking place to acquit him.
The smart play for Trump would be to drag out the Impeachment circus for as long as possible while keeping the Iran tensions high as a way to garner more support from the extremist Evangelical voting bloc. This will put fear into any Republican Senators whom might entertain the thought of voting yes on Impeachment (Susan Collins and Mitt Romney for example)

But Trump also has to go even harder on the immigration issue to appease the Alt-Right MAGA crowd whom are NOT in favor of military action against Iran.

Trump needs to take the ball game to blue states and hold more rallies in CA, WA, NY etc as a way to win back some districts in the House.

It's a tall order but I have a gut feeling Trump can pull it off.....

Impeachment does not help Trump. I don’t know where you got that idea.

only he will not be, also you should drop the racist comment since you are ignorant of most things who happen there, normally you should bring things in a discussion, you are just trolling with ignorance, no worse, you really belive in that

Iran isn’t nearly as powerful as you guys would believe. In case y’all didn’t know, Iran recently went through some protests: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_Iranian_protests

They were pretty big protests too, destroyed hundreds of banks and government buildings, not to mention the death and injury tolls.

Trump isn’t bluffing. There’s no way Iran can stand against us in direct warfare, not even Russia alone could (contrary to what some of you may believe). Not only that, but Iran is hated throughout most of the Arab world, and Iranians hate Arabs with a passion, too. It’s because the Arabs conquered the Persian empire and put out their fire that stood for 3,000 years lol. Even the Muslim Iranians hate the Muslim Arabs. That’s why Iran has been trying to take over all of the Middle East; wherever there’s conflict in the Middle East, Iran is there to support the Shi’a and take over as revenge—that’s what this one old Iranian guy told us anyway. I even talked to this other Shia Muslims Iranian dude, and he was like “we will NEVER speak Arabic even though it’s the language of God!” Like okay bro, it’s not that serious lol

However, I don’t think we’re gonna go to war with them just yet. If we really were about to, then we would have done so already. Not just that, but we also aren’t gonna go to war with them directly. Right now, Trump is the most anti-war person in the government, especially in the Middle East. Once he leaves office for good (in 2024), the next president will undoubtedly go to war again. We know this because Hillary Clinton, representing the Democratic Party, wanted to go to war with Iran (she stated this in one of her interviews), and also Jeb Bush, representing the Republican Party, did too (he stated this in one of the debates).

When we do go to war, it won’t be directly. Instead, the US will arm and support other rebels to fight for them, just like they always do lol. This time, however, it’ll be with Sunni Muslims instead (which is what Jeb Bush stated in the debate I mentioned). The scary thing about this is that it will inevitably lead to World War III. Or as the Bible calls it, ARMAGEDDON.

Who’s ready to serve?

It's refreshing to see a sosuave member thats cultured and educated in world history especially the M.E.

I salute you, Sir....

The capital of the Persian Empire was once located in what is now modern day Iraq and Iran has long dreamed of recapturing their historic territories....

And keep in mind Saudi Arabia has been locked in a cold war with Iran.... There is no love loss between Sunni Muslims whom are supported by Saudi Arabia and Shiite Muslims whom are supported by Iran.....

Saudia Arabia would sooner join Israel in a war with Iran even though they have a beef with Israel as well....

Trump is not bluffing. Iran's best option is to keep up the saber rattling but NOT engage in open conflict...

It’s been getting more and more heated between Shiites and Sunnis in recent years too. But the thing is, most Sunnis don’t *really* like SA too much either because they feel that they’re just Western puppets. There’s some heavier stuff that is to come too, although we it isn’t definitive just yet. I know that all the rulers in the Arabian Peninsula fight with each other a lot. They’ll probably kill each other at some point, and then even more arguments will break out as to who should be the next ruler. After all, the current leaders of Oman and the UAE killed their fathers to take power lol. King Faisal of SA was shot and killed by his own nephew lol. This people can’t agree on anything. Iran will probably try taking over at this point in time, and they’ll get super close (and probably commit genocide as a side effect if I’m being honest). But that’ll interfere with US ‘special interests’ lol. And that’ll probably be the time in which the whole arming of Sunnis thing will come along and commence WWIII.

This is just my opinion though, so take it as you will.
