Nebs Sez: Re War and Iran
Jan. 8th, 2020 10:02 am~World War Three, aka The Cold War, started with the Berlin Blockade on June 24th, 1948 and ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 26th, 1991.
World War Four, aka The War on Terror, started on September 11th, 2001 and is still ongoing...
The assassination of Qasem Soleimani, the various attacks that led to that and Iran's missile attacks in response are merely skirmishes in that latter war.
All this hysteria about nuclear war is just that: hysteria. So cut that shit out. It is exactly what Trump wants, a distraction from Impeachment.
Note the pattern; Trump creates a crisis, ramps it up, and then seemingly 'solves' it.
If you're carrying on about 'WWIII' and 'the end of the world' blah blah blah, you are doing Trump's work for him...so fucking calm down.
We're not getting into a big ground war with Iran because we have nowhere from which to launch such an operation. Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan are going to let the US pour a half million military personnel into their land just like that. Hell, Iraq says we need to get out all together. And Afghanistan is still a serious clusterfuck.
That said, I suspect the highly ineffective Iranian missile strike was meant to lull us and appease the folks back home. Good chance they got some other nastiness cooking. Time will tell..but there is not going to be Armageddon. /rolls eyes
