Maybe the USA could mind their own business for once and leave other countries be instead of trying to control everything.

Nobody can stop America.   

 

Nobody.

 

So they will control everything.

 

This is the way.

 

Please, write to your Embassy and demand a mean letter to be sent to Trump.

  • Budget:
    The US military budget is significantly larger than any other nation's, allowing for investment in advanced weaponry, technology, and personnel. 
     
  • Technology:
    The US military possesses cutting-edge technology in areas like aircraft carriers, fighter jets, submarines, and precision-guided weapons. 
     
  • Global Presence:
    The US maintains a vast network of military bases and personnel around the world, enabling rapid response and power projection capabilities. 
     
  • Special Operations Forces:
    The US has highly trained and well-equipped special operations forces like Delta Force and SEAL Team 6, capable of handling complex and dangerous missions. 
     
  • Logistics:
    The US military excels in logistics, ensuring that troops and equipment can be deployed and sustained effectively anywhere in the world.

    Iranian airspace belongs to Iran. How can the US just fly in and bomb them?

Vietnam war lost

Korean war never ended.

Afghanistan war solved nothing, Taliban rules again.

 

What is your military going to do against a barrage of nuclear war heads?

With what pray tell are you going to do that? you have no Airforce, (at least not the ones you want to send up and lose them, right?) you're hiding your Navey vessels, yes, you have 8 subs, but if you want to lose them too, send out to initiate

a blockade. Go On.

The cult operates in nearly every country, probably all countries....especially China/Iran/Israel/ America

 

Islam and Judaism worship the cube of Saturn...I.e Satan, they are worshipping and answering to the same being.......who has got them fighting each other for him while he is laughing hysterically at the mayhem he is causing

 

Iran vs Israel + America , is just pure theatre, The cult desired outcome is to jack up oil prices to abusrb levels $150-200+.........(Close strait of homuz, damage irans oil facilities + iran could launch massive strikes on Saudi Aramco fields etc)

 

How long can China Economy survive with $200, It can't and the whole world economy will fold because of it.....and the cash economy gone

 

The cult wants every human to have ...... No paper money but Trackable Digital Currency with AI....where governments can approve or dissprove any transaction.........don't take a vaccine.........you are shut out of the whole system etc.....

What strain are you smoking and where do you get it?

What Iran could do is announce that only ships belonging to its allies (Russia, China etc.) are allowed to go through. Whatever, this would be an opportunity for Israel and the US to eradicate Iran's navy, which has been spared up to now.

Did you mean like the USA bombing a country that they are not at war with without even consulting the few allies that the USA has left?

 

That sort of law and order?

What states the US must consult with anyone? 

On 29 June 2008, the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said that if either Israel or the United States attacked Iran, it would seal off the Strait of Hormuz to wreak havoc in the oil markets. This followed more ambiguous threats from Iran's oil minister and other government officials that an attack on Iran would result in turmoil in the world's oil supply.

Vice Admiral Kevin Cosgriff, commander of the U.S. 5th Fleet stationed in Bahrain across the Persian Gulf from Iran, warned that such Iranian action would be considered an act of war, and the U.S. would not allow Iran to hold hostage nearly a third of the world's oil supply.

🙄🙄🙄 Keep living your naive life and you are going to be horrified whats going to happen in the world within the next 5 years

 

Remember just a few years ago, when you weren't allowed into any facilities,  or hotels, or a job or allowed to travel without a vaccine certificate?!

 

That was just a feeler and little taster or what is planned

THey don't even have to close it, just like someone said before, ......sink a few cargo vessels and the insurance premiums make going through the strait unprofitable and would completely cut supply

@EVENKEEL seemed to be saying Iran can't do dat, it's against international law.

 

You know, like bombing some country you're not at war with.

LOL. International Law is totally irrelevant unless there's a way of policing it... like China building islands in the South China Sea, just off the coast of the Philippines. No one takes any notice of International Law.

Or perhaps they hate the fact that it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of BS. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

 

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W. look smart and articulate. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: 'My God… what… have… I… created?

 

Unappealing, unattractive, idiotic, incompetent, hateful, hurtful, abrasive, rude, blowhard, liar, cheater, thief, infantile, failure, loser, fraud, sexual abuser, incestuous, tax cheat, insurrectionist, un-American, dictator-loving dictator wannabe, out of control, sociopathic, convicted felon, toxic narcissist & brutish A-hole.

 

Everything about the con-man referred to as Trump is unlikeable. He's everything wrong with the human animal, all stuffed into one specimen. 

 

Wanna know how I really feel? And how inaccurate your assessment of this man is and how misplaced your devotion is?

Iranian airspace might belong to Iran but it's now totally controlled by Israel. As for "just fly in and bomb them?" that's easy. Take out a threat of nuclear weapons which would threaten the US, US personnel and interests, and the defence of an ally, Israel. What do you imagine would happen. The US contacts Iran to ask if they can come into their airspace so they can bomb their nuclear enrichment facilities?

 

There's that pesky thing called  terrorism.

Is that really a surprise ?  Having more CSGs, although, they are spread out kind of thin.  Irrelevant, as USA will never be involved against CH or RU.  Any other country isn't a match, and or, are allies.
