Iran: In Trump's Crosshairs

You really need to be spoon fed just like a baby.

You don’t see the similarity between a dual US/Israeli citizen and a dual US/Saudi Arabian citizen? I’m not one to go around calling people names on forums because it is childish, but you are one dumb mother fucker. Go suck your mama’s titty.

You didn’t say the Saudi had dual citizenship. In that case, it wouldn’t bother me.

I may be a moron but I’m not an antisemite who questions the loyalty of Jewish Americans. You might want to think about the company that puts you in. I’m talking about people like Drumont and Hitler. Both of whom were proven wrong.

Again, calling people names again.

How old are you? I thought you were a grown man but the way you have been acting lately I wonder if maybe you’re in grade 6 or something. Do your parents approve of you getting into online discussions about things you can’t understand?

The first step to overcoming a problem is realizing that you have one. Don’t worry, there are people that can help you.

I called you what you are and I haven’t seen anyone who has disagreed with me. Not even you.

You sound like you need your diaper changed.

Ok. Your point is?

All is well

-Donald Trump

But it’s impossible to hide casualties like @thefourthruffian said, this must be fake news. We can only trust PressTV from now on.

Actually, if you took the time to consider it this is an illustration of exactly the type of thing fourthruffian was talking about. You don’t get to hide casualties easily. And these aren’t even serious things… Concussion like symptoms happen literally ALL the time in sports.

The spokesperson said “we will continue evaluating service members for potential injuries”. Some guy gets his arm blown off or a shrapnel wound, you don’t say “we’re evaluating them for potential injuries”. They get a damn medic!

And I absolutely hate you for making me defend Trump, but concussion like symptoms can often take time to develop, which means in an after action report they’re not going to be seeing these as “casualties” because the symptoms haven’t appeared yet. So it could be completely legitimate that Trump wasn’t hiding anything.

Yeah, having to send a whole bunch of troops to another country for medical treatment is no big deal at all.

If you were in a missile attack and you got a concussion, do you really think that nothing else was injured other than your brain? Last I checked they don’t wear football helmets while hanging around on a military base.

The thing is that if they immediately admitted that a whole bunch of soldiers were injured, which is the very least of what may have happened, Iran claims to have killed around 80 and they have more credibility than the US right now, then Trump is stuck in a bad situation. Either he has to retaliate as he threatened before Iran attacked, which could potentially lead to a full scale war, or back down and look like a complete fool to everyone.

Right now he looks like a complete fool to me, but obviously this approach to the situation worked quite well because people like you guys are swallowing anything the media gives you. If he had immediately said that there were numerous injuries but nobody died (which is the current story) but he was going to let it slide, how would you feel about that?

US is worse than ISIS…
Iran is more credible than the US…

Damn dude, show me on the doll where Trump touched you.

It’s not big news anymore, WW3 may have been averted or delayed. People can forget it now. I would expect that it gets harder and harder with time to keep a lie like that going, with less and less benefit. Letting the truth leak out eventually makes it easier/more likely for people to trust, especially those inclined to do so
Twitterer in Chief ftw

Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America, a non-profit organisation, slammed the Trump administration for taking so long to reveal the extent of casualties.

“This is a big deal,” its founder Paul Rieckhoff tweeted. “The American people must be able to trust the government to share information about our sons and daughters in harms way. Nothing is more serious and sacred.”

“…Yeah…some of them had some headaches…”

(Trump’s words, not mine, prior to leaving DAVOS).

I’m still trying to figure out how 34 people can get brain injuries in a missile blast with no other significant injuries to the rest of their body. If nobody died for real it is a miracle. The limited satellite photos show completely destroyed buildings, if anyone was inside there would likely be blown to pieces.

Good thing he didn’t disrespect by troops by kneeling down while the anthem was being played. Because that would have been outrageous.

Ireland voted by referendum to have exactly that.

I wonder how many Americans have grandparents born in Ireland, and can thus claim citizenship? More importantly, can they be trusted?

Shockwaves or impact of missiles. Ever felt artillery impacts ? It rattles your entire body from hundreds of meters away never mind close proximity. My good friend got a tbi from an ied that hit ahead of him.

According to Bostonians, about 400 million Americans.

Ah, it requires a birth certificate from a parent or grandparent. They don’t just take your word for it. A friend of mine has lived in Cork for 20 years and had to get special permission from the immigration office to get the naturalisation without the documentation.
