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

[Ali_Baba]

Brother, tempers are flaring in Iran and they are Iranians here voicing their opinion, if an Iranian member says the moon is made of cheese doesn't make it true. Please can I respectfully ask people just to get along with each other or if you don't like someone you can choose to ignore them using the ignore feature:

All of India should thank Iran for shutting down Dubai for at least 20 years to come

Except Dubai hasn't shut down even a bit. Was there few weeks ago. It didn't even felt that the area was under attack. Absolutely not even slightest sign of anything hit. Shining skyscrappers and busy roads. Investments, property market, services based economy everything is at same usual levels.

Tourism is for sure effected but the people who were residents of Dubai didn't left.

yes the UAE goes to great lengths to keep up appearances , including a media blackout and heavy investment in social media influencers. But the diplomatic, strategic and economic setbacks to it from the Iran war are un-deniable.

Man can Americans do the world and themselves a favour make trump a lame duck in November then hopfully the progressive and anti genocide leaders can cut his budget to end his illegal wars. May help with a diplomatic solution because there is not a military one.

Democrats are as equally blood thirsty for wars against muslims, America is a lost cause, its a 300 million nation of war criminals, the sooner the muslim nations realize that the better for their own sake.

Weird - I personally know three families that have moved back to the UK.

My friend has moved to Dubai for tax reasons and today we had a chat. Shitting himself at the thought of being bombed and he is giving us an insight in the REAL fear is

Brother,

I understand you are trying to offer a counter opinion, which is okay, but let's be honest here. GCC people are largely lazy; they buy don't build.

They are hyper reliant on the US for their security and their own armed forces, although well-equipped, they largely lack an indigenous defense industry, relying and depending on foreign contractors to operate and maintain advanced platforms.

Historically their militaries have conducted nothing more than minor self-defense roles. As such they are simply not built or designed to function as a strong institution.

This is simply because their raison d'etre is to secure internal regime survival and border defense rather than projecting any form of expeditionary power.

There is a complete lack of Cohesion between the GCC nations, they may say things in public but don't sing from the same hymn sheet, even the touted unified military command - Peninsula Shield Force failed to achieve its enforcement and operational cohesion.

The outlook for the foreseeable in terms of GCC posture will be “active defense” plus enabling support for US-led operations whilst calling for "negotiations and deescalation" in public.

Iran's missiles, drones, and defensive geography would make any conflict prolonged, costly, and difficult to resolve decisively, the GCC nations know this, which is why they are playing possum for some time now.

Remember that the GCC nations are businessmen, they don't want anything to upset their apple cart.

I get all that.

GCC has a lot more resources, and they can and usually do outsource their defence and security.

That's what all rich people do and they usually see more success than hiccups in life.

The fat cats.

I'm not so certain the threat is fake. The killing of Soleimani is still a sore spot and now the Ayatollah.

I don't think Iran wants or, or will because Trump is doing what Iran can only ever dream of doing. Trump is burying the economic future of the USA, destroying alliances and alienating friends. All to the determent of the USA as a super power.

The only people who will take out Trump are the Israeli's and the fact the Israeli's are "leaking" about so called Iranian threats, is Israel setting the scene to carry out this act and then try and "setup Iran to take the fall"..

imho..

When you're fat it's best not to behave like a rat.

These are very valid points, but i can’t understand why they the zios would take out trump. JD is not going to take up their cause like Trump. He was the only one crazy enough to attack Iran!

If zionists take out trump in a false flag with impunity, do you think jd or rubio would refuse to toe the line considering their lives are on the line if they refuse to carry out zionist's interests? Tucker carlson has stated on record that trump is scared for his life.

That you think outsourcing defense at the mercy of far away empires is a positive and a sign of success as opposed to gasping for air by artificial sand statelets is amusing. Please continue.
