Breaking: Israel launches 'preemptive strike' against Iran, declares state of emergency

[ScrambledEggs]

It's a good sign that Israel doesn't have faith in us and that it doesn't act in our best interests.

Netanyahu did everything in his power to help Trump get elected so it's odd that he now has so little faith.

He knows TACO

Define "pure Islamophobia." Is it looking at the history of the attempted conquest of the world by Islam over the last 1400 years? Look at what is happening in Africa right now. You want them to have nukes?

If we didn't want Iran to have Nukes we've been acting so as to entice them to get some for about 50 years or so.

Do Republican successes in things like allowing school vouchers to be used at Christian private schools mean that America is a Christian state?

Do Republican successes like banning abortion on reigious grounds make America a Christian state?

No, those things are violations of the Constitution.

Fair.

 

[Hamish Howl]

I would rather the US and Russia didn't either, but here we are.

ETA: Pakistan is actually my biggest nuclear concern.

Pakistan has shown the appropriate amount of restraint.

 

[ASHES]

Apparently some people forget when Islam invaded Europe through Spain and the Balkans and could have taken completely over if not for some very hard fought battles. Pick a side. If you pick Islam, you're wrong.

 

[Hamish Howl]

How do you know they haven't??

We would have known about 45 minutes ago.

 

[ASHES]

Pakistan has shown the appropriate amount of restraint.

I'm not worried about the choices of their current government, I'm worried about the stability of that government (which isn't great.)

 

[Questerr]

I think of Islam as the religion it is. What was the religion of the country that used WMD on Iran?

Why does it matter? If you are trying to say Iran won’t use WMDs on fellow Muslims, then they’ll never use them on Israel because Muslims live there. So why are we concerned about Iran having nukes?

Pakistan is Muslim and has nukes. Have they tried to conquer the world?

Iraq. Iraq is a Muslim country. They used WMDs on Iran. That is the answer.

Islam hasn't been a competent or aggressive military force for centuries.

 

[TangoNoCash]

So much for Trumps request to Israel. They clearly respect him as much as I do.

 

[j brown's body]

Trump hasn't praised it. I doubt he's happy about it. He could threaten to cut off weapons to Israel.But who knows.

 

[Hamish Howl]

Iran will for sure retaliate. Thats not even open for debate.

The question now becomes how much will Iran retaliate, and how much will this destabilize the rest of the middle East

It only remains to see how effective that retaliation will be.

Iran has a habit of letting its alligator mouth outrun its canary ass.

 

[Manc Skipper]

Is there a single neighbour the zionist state has not attacked with impunity?

 

[ASHES]

Pakistan is Muslim and has nukes. Have they tried to conquer the world?

I think many of them would if they thought they could.

 

[Questerr]

Iraq. Iraq is a Muslim country. They used WMDs on Iran. That is the answer.

And Iran didn’t use them even after WMD’s were used against them first.

So why should we be so concerned about Iran having nukes?

 

[Desert Storm]

Iran's military chief of staff has been killed in the air strikes.

I'm guessing he's the equivalent of the joint chief of staff in the US Army (Colin Powell for example)

 

[Questerr]

I think many of them would if they thought they could.

And your thinking is based on irrational hatred of Islam, so it isn’t a rational analysis.

Okay, it's official, I'm busting out the good popcorn.

 

[ASHES]

Islam hasn't been a competent or aggressive military force for centuries.

Yeah, ever since Europe kicked their asses out of Europe and then stayed ahead technologically for a couple hundred years.

 

[ASHES]

And your thinking is based on irrational hatred of Islam, so it isn’t a rational analysis.

That's not a fact or an argument, that's a personal attack.

 

[Variant]

Yeah, ever since Europe kicked their asses out of Europe and then stayed ahead technologically for a couple hundred years.

You're talking about issues that all happened before gunpowder was invented.

 

[ElChupacabra]

No wars on Trump’s dime…..

Is it too early to say the "world is on fire!". So we've got the conflict in Gaza, the ongoing war in Ukraine and now Israel's going rogue and attacking Iran.

 

[Questerr]

That's not a fact or an argument, that's a personal attack.

You’ve made it clear you think Islam is some kind of hive mind out for world conquest.
