Iran Did Do It..............says Trump

    I wonder does the lack of fighting ability of the US's local allies make a war less likely. The Saudi's have proven themselves to be the worst fighting force in the region in their war in Yemen. Their ability to lose every time they encounter even lightly armed forces is astonishing. They have lost huge amounts of weapons and war material including top of the range western equipment. They often abandon it on the battlefield after the first few shots and leave the sandal clad Yemenis to burn or blow it up.

    Effective enough to clear most of the jihadis out of most of Syria with the help of Hezbollah

    Ehh you missed the part where they couldn't find isis ,
    The Kurds with an international coalition defeated isis for most part ,
    The Iranians apparently spent their time waiting for the Israeli jets to pass before coming out of hiding and in a lot of cases dying from Israeli strikes.

    Have to say they (Iranian navy) know how to sink recycled garden sheds too

    The Kurds who are confined to the north east of Syria did a great job of defending their land despite regular attacks on their positions by America's other great ally in the region, Turkey.

    The SAA, Hezbollah, and the IRG are largely responsible for clearing the rest of the country thus far. Hezbollah and the Lebanese Army have also done Sterling work defending their own borders.

    Hopefully in the near future there will be a formally established Kurdish state which is recognised by the international community without harassment from Syria, Turkey, Iran or Iraq.

    I remember you thinking the Syrian "civil war" would be over in no time back when you were cheering for the 'Free Syrian Army/moderate rebels'. In reality you were cheering on the various incarnations of Al Queda, just like Isis which is just another franchise of wahhabi terror. The white helmets, great bunch of lads according to you, and that slob in a semi d in Coventry that called himself an observatory.

    The bulk of the conflict was in the large urban areas, not the north eastern desert.

    You remember me thinking or I actually said that exact words .

    That's you making it up again isn't it.

    So I never said the white hats were great lads or anything if very little on the Coventry slob .
    I certainly remember you ,and one of two others well known bridge dwellers constantly bringing them up like every other post .
    While denying chemical weapons were being used against the population of Syria by its own unelected leader and the direct targeting of civilian hospitals and schools and markets by russian aircraft.all denied by you and one or two others .

    It's seems pretty obvious that your attempts at baiting a reaction have badly failed again ...

    Successful launch and test. Estimates the missile would be able to hit targets as far away as Greece.

    Nothing like a little sabre rattling nk korea fired similar missles very recently too .
    And Russia came very close to having several aircraft shot down on what looked like a dummy bombing mission in South Korea territory ,
    South Korean aircraft scrambled and eventually fired off flares and then live warning shots to deter the Russians.

    Get the feeling trump might start with the rocket Man jibes again

    Of course a single missile can be shot down. Iran tactics would be to overwhelm defences with missiles. Since they have the largest ballistic missile inventory in the middle east they can do it. They also are not boxed in and can launch missiles from other areas and locations across the middle east.

    This Shahab-3 missile was fired successfully and travelled 600 miles across Iran and this would reach all US based bases in the gulf region. Shahab-3 MRBM variant is the alleged missile fired and tested here can travel 1200 miles and this would pose a risk to UK bases in Cyprus.

    North Korea tested short range ballistic missiles and while considered a threat, there not ICBMs. There only designed to penetrate defences in South Korea. Similar like tests were carried out in May 2019.

    Russia and China were involved. They were conducting a military exercise or incursion together. Russian planes went further in and entered Korean airspace and 300 warning shots were fired by South Korean airforce. This is bad news for America, if Russia and China are working together to undermine US military dominance in the region.

    As you very know -

    Or you may not actually know -

    China and russia have always worked together in North Korea it was China and Russia who pushed the the then north Koreans to invade south Korea in the 50s ,
    The funny part was russia crying to the UN denouncing the invasion of South Korea while it's forces attacked and killed UN forces .

    Iran can have all the missiles in the world stock piled and buried under mountains that still means feck all when they can be hammered 24 /7 from land ,air and sea from multiple sources and states .
    Secret underground James bond bases and tunnels are only good for mass graves and saving on burial costs

    A few pages ago he claimed Iran hadn't the capability to launch long range attacks....until I reminded him they hit ISIS targets accurately inside Syria launched from Iran and flew across Iraq,hundreds of kilometres just recentky,the chap is a pure waffler who seems to jizz in his pants bigging up the US military might and trying to downplay others,I've told yas before....too many Rambo/Vietnam films as a kid

    That was interesting, showed how Stuxnet has backfired big time on America.

    And while America is like a devoted puppy to Israel, Israel on the other hand does not give a toss about it's puppy's interests.

    Very clever stuff for the most part ,

    Specifically targeting only certain computers that were used for command structures in irans nuclear infrastructure ,
    They did the same previously when they realised russians were stealing industrial secrets the Americans purposely designed a faulty oil pump that the Russians used in pipeline that was designed to fail and especially wreck the Russians pipeline .
    While actually happened .

    Shows that America and other state's know well how to fight in a non traditional war and battlefield

    Amuurka, hell yeah... They do know a lot about non traditional wars, masters of using their terrorist proxies in the Muslim world. False flag attacks and staged colour revolutions. Don't mind who they support either , fascists in Ukraine, mass murdering commies in south east Asia, fanatical head hackers in the middle east and beyond, just a few examples, the cost in human lives doesn't matter one single iota to them, they couldn't care less about that.

    Trump is playing an absolute blinder with Iran.

    Iranians are expert at these sorts of tactical games and have easily given the wishy-washy Europeans and that hopeless Obama the run around.

    In comes Trump. Used to playing hardball, knows how to leverage, negotiates with contractors and real estate all the time.

    Suddenly the Iranians aren't looking as smart as before. They're confused and lashing out.

    Iranians are good folks for the most part (40 years of state propaganda takes its toll and there are some real nutcases) and they deserve to rid themselves of this regime.

    Sadly many of the left wing anti-west sorts seem to want to prop up one of the worst regimes in the world. Literally hanging gays from cranes in public with school children walking by. Absolute ****.

    Waffle waffle waffle. No desire to be part of Ukraine? They were a part of Ukraine. What gave Russia any right to enter the territory of a sovereign nation.

    And you probably think the outcome of the referendum that followed were as a result of a free and impartial process too right?!?

    Eh .... read some history.
    Crimea was Russian for hundreds of years until 1954 when Khrushchev decided that Crimea will now be part of Ukraine without consulting a single solitary citizen of Crimea. But if you think Khrushchev's decision was 'democratic' and a free and impartial process I won't argue with you.

    Quick question...... how far Back in time do we have to go before it’s decided who is the rightful territorial owner? Khrushchev was the leader at The time, he signed off on the transfer. It was Greek before the Russians got there, does that mean The Greeks should be allowed take it back?
    Going by your measure what gave the US the right to enter Syria set up a base there,and then shoot at that countries army ?

    Really nope what have been you watching lately. Shooting and destroying military drones, tankers on fire, increased tension between navies in the region, Iran and UK doing piracy of tankers, increased Iranian enrichment of uranium. He is done nothing here to solve the crisis, he made it worse. Trump played this one stupidly and can go either way now. Trump after all blinked first and to be honest i think he made a wise decision, he be involving himself in far bigger war than the Iraq war. Soon or later Iran willl react even more severely if they try to cut their oil shipments to China or India. Iran already warned the build up of US and UK warships in strait of Hormuz is a provocative act, they might move to counter it if tensions keep up. Right now there is a slight decrease in tension, but only takes another trigger event and we back to crisis mode again.

    Trump didn't blink ,he well knew what he was doing he backed Iran into a corner where they either have to put up or shut up ,

    They interfered with foreign tankers litttrally tried to sink several what were they planning to achieve??

    Then they shot down the drone and got no real response bar having one or two of theirs taken out ,still no American military response a few extra ships ,
    Oil prices haven't really increased either diminishing iran again .
    You have isreali jets flying over teran for fecks sake
    What have Iran gained in any of this nothing bar an empty ship they boarded and siezed .

    They got nothing and yet they are losing due to tighter and tighter sanctions
