That is because the enemy already has agents poisoning your culture, undermining your people's belief in themselves and everything they hold dear, and trying to convince them all to roll over and die and let their enemies take over. Clean that out, and you'll be in a position to win against your...

And you and I both know that the reason the ChiComs are able to do this stuff, and get away with it, is that they have much of the US govt in their pocket. That the people leading the Demoncats are actively trying to help Communist China take over the world, just as the same sort of people - or...

If the USA were to up and invade Mexico or Canada with the goal of replacing the governments there with ones more submissive to US policy, I think someone like Marduk would be cheering. And if China or Russia started sending weapons/etc to those countries to help them defend themselves, he'd...

Jimmy Carter. And yes, it's literal. Carter actually was farming peanuts before getting elected as president in reaction against the Watergate Scandal.

That's pretty Hobbsian and "there can be only one".

That would be "pull out of world politics AND go into complete isolation and technological stagnation while pretending the rest of the world does not exist".

Those people thought that history was over and that everyone in the world was going to become like them.

Hi GoldRanger, not seen you posting here in a while. No, I'm not trying to "bothsame" it - for a long-running feud to start, one side or the other have to start it. But the thing can then take on a life of its own, where if you ask them "look, what is your grievance with those other guys?"...

"Our totally justified defensive actions" vs "their senseless aggression". Because in both sides' minds, when the other guy hits you back, it was never because of what you did. No, it was just an out of the blue act of hate. So you hit him back. And then he hits you back. And then... This sort...

Iran is not part of "the Arab world".

Well, that would the portion of their stock that they are willing to use for Israel - and have already positioned there. A big enough missile swarm could overwhelm the interceptors they have there, and do lots of damage before more could be brought in.

If Iran has the big one and means to drop it on Israel, they'll want to make sure that it gets through. Remember, these people are not Arabs. So if that were the plan, what we might expect to see would first be a lot more non-nuclear attacks. Waves and waves of them. Anyone who's old enough to...

From what I've been told, most non-Arab Muslims don't have anything good to say about Arabs. One Muslim who spoke to me about this seemed to really despise the Saudi regime in particular; he said they were people who believe they can do whatever evil they like because they are "the chosen" or...

And of course, neither claim is true. The Israeli's think themselves invincible because for decades they have been fighting Arabs. The Iranians.. are not Arabs.

More air power where? The IDF might have a nice airforce, but flying those planes over to bomb Iran sounds like a trip that many of them would not make it back from. Especially if the Russians decide to intervene. And they could - they have non-trivial military assets stationed in Syria still.

And I'm curious as to why anyone thinks it matters. They've not going to be able to send armies against each other. Only missiles and bombing missions.

But the US military does in fact have people there in Syria.

Look, with people like the PLO, there's giving up on the idea of destroying Israel for real, and there's postponing that goal for the moment.
