Iran: With our missles, we can hit 34 US bases within minutes.

Polarizing the entire nation against us? No, pretty sure Barry already did that when he chose to ignore the uprising a year or so ago. Sanctions aren't an act of war. As a matter of fact, they're one of the final stops of peace. An act of war would be detonating a suitcase nuke in Tehran

An uprising funded by the United States; just like the rest of the "Arab spring."

The statement "sanctions are an act of war" can definitely be argued, but in most all cases, it leads to bombs being droped.

I think we can both agree that United Nations sanctions are a complete joke. Back when I was a GOP go-hard I scoffed at them because they NEVER worked; they don't persuade the state to act in the desired way.

Yes, sanctions cause suffering on the State being "punished," but it also really hurts the commoners. The state government blames the sanctions, and now there is a common battle cry that unites people to the radical government that probably wasn't supported by the people in the first place.

Just look through the past. Sanctions have lead to war ever since World War II. We stopped selling oil to the Japanese, and in turn they had their fiasco at Pearl Harbour which was the first external attack on US soil since the war of 1812. Some say these sanctions were designed to get the United States into the war, but I digress.

Really? Pretty sure we shot several of them in Iraq opening fire on us.

So that represents the entirety of the Iranian citizenry? What I am saying is that we are causing them to rally and further support that crazy guy Ahmadinejad.

Am I saying Iran is "good?" No! I am saying that imposing sanctions against a sovereign state is ineffective and probably serves to induce the opposite desired effect. Moreover, it is tyrannical in nature as sanctions threaten the sovereignty of a state. This is why I believe sanctions to be an act of war.

Don't worry folks, we will be sending rounds downrange in Iran at some point soon. It has been the end game all along. The healthcare debate is now settled and gas prices have room for a good run up after this winter/election. Expect an attack on a US ship or an aircraft shot down to be the breaking point.

Great response. But you know that what I said is true.

Iranians are reasonable people who want to be left alone and live their life; they don't want a war. But the more provoke them, the more they will support their crazy ass governing officials.

We are pushing Iran into a corner here. It is only natural that they repond with threats. Sanctions are an act of war. There are terrorist groups in Iran funded by the United States that have killed innocent Iranians, blown up military installations, etc. We are polarizing the entire nation against us.

I would say 34 is a low number of US bases that are within short range rocket of Iran. You have to remember that it is bordered by Iraq (US Embassy and International Zone) and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan we have several hundred bases which are occupied by US forces. Even dropping one large rocket on 34 bases in Afghanistan would cause casualties in the thousands.

They're ignoring the anti-missile capabilities we've put in place since they uttered this stupidity. If our ships see the launches of missiles, it's going to get very bad there, very fast

LOL. Really? That is a pipe dream. I have stood on the walls and could see Iran. A missle launch from anywhere in Iran would have a huge leg up on time and distance that anything the fleet could do to help us.

I'm not saying we would get them all, nor would we even try. I'm saying we'd launch a wall of anti-missile missiles AND fire on them at the same time.

Even with the "reduced presence" (which is false advertising, for the most part), with only 2 or 3 cruisers/destroyers near the Iraq/Kuwait coast, we could knock down anything within 150 miles within seconds of it being launched. And with combined naval assets, we could wipe out everything capable of launching anything bigger than a mortar within 15 minutes.
Sure, we might get a right cross on the chin, but we'll feed them feet-first into a wood chipper for doing it.
Again, it will take NCA leadership with some actual cajones to order it though.

Very true. I guess about the only advantage to being an "old guy" on this board, is I lived (and voted for) Reagan and saw first-hand what it's like for the world to bow down to a badass world power. There were a few shit-talkers, but when push came to shove, the world kissed our ass.

I miss them days, When ron said jump Gorbachev and he did.

This just in.


North Korea says it can hit 36 United States Imperial bases within seconds of an attack....

This just in:

North Korea is a country full of brain-washed mongrels and fat pornographers posing as leaders. It's like the shit hole is run by dumbshit COD nerds at a LAN party.

Every time I think of KJI or his inbred mouth-breathing runt of a child, I imagine this pic:
