    Team America - World Police Bullies

    So I've been following the news latley about Iran's Nuclear Interest, and can't help but reading it somewhat like this:



    Iran developing technology to build nuclear power plant to power country, hence removing it's dependance on oil. Team america says "No, you're not allowed to develope WMD's!... Iran is like "wtf, who said anything about weapons of mass destruction you war mongering bigot?!...we're making a power plant!", Team America says "no no no, No Nuclear Bombs for you!!!", Iran rolls eyes saying "Nuclear power plant. Idiot... like you're one to talk about nuclear bombs *cough* hiroshima, nagasaki *cough*. Team america gets pissy and says "FUCK YOU", then proceeds to scuttle off to his friends the EU and gets them to gang up with him against Iran. Now US and EU impose imbargo that Iran cannot export oil to anybody anymore. Not to china, south korea, Japan, ANYONE. Iran get's annoyed and says FINE, then i'm not going to let you use our big canal at the Straight of Hormuz. Team America is like "watch me", and strolls in with US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincon with his buddies; a British Royal Navy Frigate and a French Warship. (FYI, the USS Abreham Lincoln is a Nimitz class aircraft carrier. IT IS... wait for it.... NUCLEAR POWERED!)

    poor iran :(

    In the original song, or in the snowman movie. I think they're different. Pretty sure I heard the one from the movie guy on the radio recently.

    Bet he gets all the ho's.

    Aran Islands DOES sound sufficiently similar to Iran Islands in an American accent to justify full on war with Ireland. I'd say we should be putting our airforce on standyby just incase...

    Yes Damn those american pigdogs, why can't they be more like us.

    P.S Can we still have your investment money though. Oh and say hi to my uncle and the other 12% of Irish America. P.P.S petrol is 1.50 a litre now, can you sort that **** out please ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 347 ✭✭quietriot


    Like with Iraq, they need a reason to force the oil back into $. It has nothing to do with nuclear abilities, don't delude yourself into thinking this.

    With China and Russia beating their chests in retaliation though, I don't think anything is likely to happen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    This is one situation were america cannot win. The few at the top might get the war they want. America, though, will suffer. So will we.

    Well at least there is a reason to not believe the US

    Didn't they already use this tactic in Iraq? ie pretend Iraq had 'weapons of mass destruction' and then invade finding absolutely nothing

    Maybe Iran wont make the same mistakes and allow inspectors to enter the country and work unimpeded. Unless they have something to hide.

    Why do they have to hide what they are doing? If they want nuclear weapons whats the problem? America have an assload, I wouldnt trust them as far as I can piss. Russia? yikes!!! China? well they keep to themselves and dont tell us what to wear or watch. Iran have never done anything other than defy Isreal and america and are thus punished and we get nice news stories about them being crazy muslims, when infact of all muslim states they are closest to moderate.

    Even if they are making weapons, what are America getting involved for?

    Israel have undeclared nukes, if them nutcases can have them, surely Iran can have them aswel. Put it this way, if I was an Iranian citizen, I sure as hell would want a nuclear bomb as a deterrent against Israel and the US

    Well OP.... let it all happen, China will get the oil, the US will further decline as the 'hyper power' and in a few years nobody (else) will give a shít what America says.
    And I thought they'd get the message after what we they did on Sept. 11th ........ Phuff, the capital of Australia is Dadbag!!!!

    None..... Namely because theocratic states have never had nukes.

    MAD is less likely to work on theocratic states IMO. Reasoning being the powers that be in Iran are going to heaven apparently. Iran not having nuclear weapons is good news for ordinary Iranians as a result.

    you clearly know nothing about Iran. you're assumptions are outlandish...

    Pakistan have nukes, theocratic, Israel have nukes, theocratic.

    Ever heard the phrase "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"?

    The US are singing the very same song as they were before they launched a full scale invasion on an innocent nation in the name of "freedom". Hundreds of thousands of innocent people lost their lives in the name of this "freedom" but hey, the Iraqi oil got changed back from being sold in € to $ and the US installed a government to oversee it. Freedom worth fighting for, right?

    They're now doing the same evidence less posturing, including painting Iran as an oppressive, extremist Muslim nation, all on the back of no evidence once again. Oh wait, there could be a bunker underground that nobody could see, right?

    People have a right to doubt what the US say. Iran, thus far, hasn't been invading and destroying countries on the back of lies, using their military against residents in foreign nations (US Seal teams taking out Osama in Pakistan), etc.

    I'm glad to see Russia and China involved though. The US will not screw with China as china basically own them and the Russians aren't going to be walked over. It might just be what we need to keep them from messing with Iran for the time being.

    I'm not anti-US, for whatever it's worth, quite the opposite. I just wish they'd sit down and let everyone get on with their lives rather than dictating the world as they want it and threatening war if they don't get it.

    Dodgy calling them theocratic states. People with final legal power are not clergymen. Neither have clergymen with sole power to declare war. War being an aspect of MAD. Religion being an aspect of general moronity both at home and abroad.

    Sweet Jesus. They said the same about Hitler. Have we learned NOTHING???

    As for China, yeah they leave us alone. Out of sight out of mind and all that. Unless you're Chinese - and living in China.

    As I've said on numerous occasions - and you've named them all out - I'll take the Americans ahead of the "alternatives". Anytime.:cool:
