Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Immortals]

Whatever you say...
But lost the context of the post I was replying to... which purported the hostility of GCC on revolutionary Iran.

Hostility of PGCC comes from being Iranian and Shiite.

If Iran was a Sunni country, the entire Middle East would be fighting Israel right now.

But the monarchs were always afraid that Shiite religious fervor would come into their own countries and overthrow them. Because Shiite Religious countries don’t believe in the concept of “Kings”.

That it’s. That’s why they don’t like Iran. Most of Saudi Arabia’s rich oil fields are…..on Shiite population grounds. They are marginalized inside the country and Saudi Arabia always feared Iran would stir unrest there.

Everyone knows none of the Arab Monarchs are actually religious in any sense of the word. They just share power with the clerical Wahhabis establishment to keep their local populations sedated.

I think we will all know at about the same time tomorrow.

So he waited all his life to keep his word now?
Don't think so...
He's probably changing his mind on every conversation and call He's getting and than playing his mind to leverage the situation... for all we know he may only be considering how to manipulate stocks and bonds.
He lost! And the only reason he doesn't believe that is because in his mind he can still escalate. And as long as he can he'll assume he has options.
This is not a president, as a barer of the state, but a narcissist using the authority of the office and therefore the state to leverage his end and by extension those who control him.

I am less sanguine about it. If tomorrow's planned action comes along, I am expecting $8 gas. I have to show more love to my old compact car if I hate looking at 3 digits when filling my SUV.

War is the continuation of politics by other means!
Carl von Clausewitz.
Politics my guy...
Or you quoting some clusterfritz?
In bolds too...

The original is 'policy', not politics.

I strongly recommend these two books:

On Wars by Michael Mann
The Rage To Conquer by Michael Walsh

After reading them, I understood the difference between 'policy' and 'politics' are not to be mixed. Wars are not the results of failure of politics. The option for war is ALWAYS at the germination of policy.

This is absurd.

The US and Zios are openly saying they are ready to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure. Thats a slamdunk going into war criminal territory.

And what does one think Iran will do? Sit idle? This would mean all GCC and Zio energy and water infrastructure fed into Iranian missiles target bank and ready to be launched.

The Americans really need to reign in the Orange guy and the administration should grab the Zios by their throats and retreat to 67 border for lasting peace with their neighbors. But the Evangalical Christians and Zionists just want perpetual war.

We're taking it in a whole different direction and a rabit hole that is not the subject of this thread. Suffice to say the Saudi monarchy came in with it's own agenda on the backs of foreign patronage... they were co-opted because they were weak and that weakness was leveraged by amplifying hostility in the region, namely Iran. How many battles have Gulf Arabs and Iranians fought in last several hundred years?

And that right there is your answer. Zion doesn't just play states, it plays communities(ethnic, linguistic, religious) within them... promotes culture wars where they do not matter.

Yes and what is worse than that is actively collaborating with zios to destabilise the region working against muslims with their petro dollar resources posing as custodians. Total hypocricy.

That never happened.

My god this forum is filled with the most gullible people alive.

So China promised $400 Billion investment in Iran for nothing?

Lol!

The Iranian Mullahs are the reason why the GCC has submitted itself to the Zionists of the USA. The iranian mullahs have inflicted constant instability in the regioan, exactly as required by the previous British Empire as well as the Anglo-Saxon American Empire and now the Zionist American super power. Otherwise these Arabs are the would be sons of Shah Faisal who believed they would go back to living in the desert eating only dates and drinking only goat milk.

Provide proof, what instability? The GCC supported Saddam, then supported the US for Gulf War 1 and GWOT, then supported rebels in Syria. Stop being obtuse.
