haha.I didn't even comment on the reasoning behind applying the sanctions, so how was I claiming there was "no reason" ???
I claimed their removal would be a red-line for Iran in order to follow through with the agreement.
Again, all you do is argue against strawmans, not what is actually said, but what you perceive to be what I'm "acting" like I'm saying, and then you want claim I'M the one that lacks credibility?
I'm tired of the shtick. It's been going on too long with you. You aren't willing to engage in serious debate, so you're being sent to the ignore realm. You want to argue against a Strawman? You got it. Don't expect any responses anymore. Yap away in that cornfield against an unresponsive object.
It was even more refueling tankers than previously reported.
The number of tanker aircraft that took off from their home base overnight after the takeoff of the planes from New Jersey increased to 32.A significant number of the aircraft were sent to Moron Air Base in Spain, the rest to the UK, Germany, Italy and one to Estonia. Several aircraft were sent to the CENTCOM area of responsibility.In the context of the rather unusual air activity, there are suggestions that the planes were heading to Europe to take part in the Atlantic Trident 25 exercise, which is scheduled to involve 40 aircraft from the US, UK, French and Finnish air forces.The following two points may indicate the opposite version: the almost simultaneous take-off of such a significant number of tankers, which is not required for the exercises, and Spain as the final destination of the route.Spain is noteworthy because American strategic bombers flying to the Middle East usually fly across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar and on into the region. In this way, they remain in international airspace the entire way, without notifying European countries.We will not rush to make statements about plans to involve American strategic aviation in the Israeli operation or about joining tankers to refuel Israeli aviation, but the activity is interesting. Let us just add the news about the beginning of the movement of the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) carrier strike group from the ITR to the Middle East.
You don't send 30+ tankers to a NATO exercise with only 40 planes, they're clearly setting up for something big. Parking them in Spain points to preparation for a large strike on Iran with strategic bombers.
If its important then its dealt with imo. Iran is hard to predict but essentially there are always deals to be had. There was no attempt either.There was no political will left from Iran or Europe to do so. Why would they agree to a international agreement that took years to get in place that the US fucked up for no reason at a stroke of pen? Not to mention providing domestic cover to the deal it in the first place took a huge amount of political capital from Democrats.
Israel will be Israel. Iran supports Hamas and all the nonsense that goes on.This shitshow lies squarely at the feet of the Republicans, Trump and Bibi. Remember he was the one who sabotaged and lobbied for it in Congress and caused a rupture in foreign policy decor and tradition by doing so.
I'm not totally saying it was right. Because they never picked it back up. My point is there should have been renegotiations ensuing as soon as they pulled out. That lies on Trump and the administration. But it's not just proxies it's all the terrorist sponsorships. Iran has a horrific regime but you have to deal with them and not ignore them either. It's not that you can't figure out who fired off a nuclear weapon or detonated one. But it makes countries almost uncontrollable. And counting on a country not to do something drastic is a mistake. They're always has to be some caution just in case.It makes no sense. If you and I agree to A, B, C, and then you pull out of the deal because of X,Y,Z, that's just idiotic. Negotiate a separate agreement for those matters.
And again, Iran's proxies got decimated in Syria, as they are currently also getting beat down in Lebanon and Gaza. The US should take that win and move on, there's no point throwing out an entire nuclear deal for something that isn't much of a threat anymore.
More complex, more precise.
But again, this is all really academic, because if a bomb goes off, it's really not hard to figure out who it is out of the limited handful of nuclear powers in the world.
What has Iran done in recent years that's hard to predict?If its important then its dealt with imo. Iran is hard to predict but essentially there are always deals to be had. There was no attempt either.
Yes, as discussed extensively, every country has its proxies and nasty people they use to annoy and hamstring their adversaries. We do, Israel does, Iran does, the Soviet did, etc.Israel will be Israel. Iran supports Hamas and all the nonsense that goes on.
Dealing with Irani means seeing them as what they are, a wannabe regional power with a despotic government that competes with Saudi Arabia and Israel. Seeing them as mustache twirling villains with illogical motivations doesn't help the US.But it's not just proxies it's all the terrorist sponsorships. Iran has a horrific regime but you have to deal with them and not ignore them either.
I agree with nukes, yes, the fewer that have them usually the better. But in this instance, it wouldn't make Iran uncontrollable(setting aside the faulty premise that you can control other countries), it would put them at nuclear parity (sort of) with Israel if they can guarantee a second strike (deterrence comes from that, not a first strike).But it makes countries almost uncontrollable. And counting on a country not to do something drastic is a mistake. They're always has to be some caution just in case.
I don’t pretend to know as much about military tech as @GhostZ06 maybe they’ve been recently supplied?
I don't know how much and what models of missiles Iran does have.@SandisLL how long can Iran stay alive 'fighting' with Israel 'alone' as it is now? And how much they can last if US gets involved in a bombing campaign? What is their potential against US military bases, they have a lot of them much closer than the distance to Israel right?
You could make a bigger case that the Muslim woman in that video is propagandizing; I've heard her say some super crazy things in a lot of those interviews. What IS fact is that the particular group of fundamentalists in Iran specifically see the destruction of Israel as an objective, and that groups like Hezbollah and Hamas are their proxies. That's pretty much not in dispute. Other wings of that religious faction elsewhere don't necessarily see it that way, but those in Iran do.You didn't even watch the video. She definitely propagandizes.
Sounds like this spat is almost finished
This lady, Elica le Bon, is a professional Israel shill that constantly goes on Piers Morgan and gets owned. She's a propagandist.
How is this "spat" almost finished? Iran just bombed Israel for the 5th time, and everything is now pointing to the US joining in to bomb Iran. If that happens, the chances this can turn into WW3 explode.
Also how does Israel and the US bombing Iran nonstop help with regime change? What do you think Iranians are going to think of Israel and the US moving forward?
Seriously this is so damn comicalHow is this "spat" almost finished? Iran just bombed Israel for the 5th time, and everything is now pointing to the US joining in to bomb Iran. If that happens, the chances this can turn into WW3 explode.
