Iran ‘ready for war’ after its Revolutionary Guard shot down US drone

a reply to: RazorV66

We've been in an interesting position for a few decades where that's concerned. On the one hand, we've kept Israel from being attacked because the major players have little desire to draw the full breadth of America's ire towards them. On the other hand, we've held Israel back from outright attacking some of the more excitable countries in that region as well. In my eyes, any freeing of Israel to handle the situation would involve us making it clear to the rest of the region that clap backs will be dealt with instantly and with great consequences.

" The drone in question, though, wasn't violating Iranian airspace. It was shot down over water and fell into the water."



Well, that is what we're being told by the US government/MSM AND shot down over water can still be in Iranian airspace.

Don't jump to conclusion too soon as it could very well be another setup by the US to gain the population's support for an attack on Iran. Iran has been a target for a long time by tptb.

It's a sticky wicket.

A cluster F since the 50's in attempts to install/support/control by more than just the USA.

There’s a little more to it then a setup, the scientific evidence which proves the drone was in international air space is actually an act of war by Iran. Trump warned them to never threaten the US ever again this is leaps and bounds beyond that. He playing it cool the tones are calm because real steps towards actual conflict are being made. If he was barking I’d be less sure of that. The evidence is being looked at to justify the actions they want to take place.
I’m thinking something is being prepared this time not sure if it will be war like many would expect all kinds of mysterious destruction can transpire with the capabilities at hand.
Chances are good for a public display though there is an election coming...

If anything it was sacrificial BAIT. A reason to act, to bring in assets closer. and rattle sabers.

they are nice people and they have a nice country and they know that people like themselves just want to carry on and live their lives in peace .

it really is the crazy men with money and power that start wars , but it is the people that have to suffer .

"But the protests like the prayers went unanswered and ignored
and God, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence
There were fortunes to be earned, there was purpose to be served
Before a peace could be called to stop the fighting."

Is that it...?

Cause that’s all I heard...

Then again...I never could get the hang of reading lips with my ears...no sir...

Even if it was in international waters - which remains to be proven - surely shooting down an unmanned drone is hardly 'an act of war'.

People should die - on both sides - because a drone was shot down?

Please lets put this into perspective - no-one died, no-one has invaded your country....do people really deserve to die because of this?

cant we just be sick of war? i'd like to wake up some morning and read "world is sick of war" and go back to sleep with a smile.

"All wars are banker wars"...

In this day and age, it's not just financiers who benefit from war... sad but true

they absolutely loath the mullahs and their outdated and draconian BS.

If the public in Iran had their choice, the Mullahs, the Guard, and all the religious police would be sent out to float on leaky boats.

But every time they try to raise up for change, they are shot dead in the streets, or later executed in the public square

Maybe Iran wants to justify setting of a bomb in Israel? Or they think China and Russia are going to back them? All I know is that this will end very badly for them

I’m not saying there should be or shouldn’t be war just saying how it’s likely to play out...
I wish everyone was on equal footing nobody pulling the strings but that’s not reality...
I wish Iran wasn’t an actual threat with no interest in terrorist activities about to get what they need for nukes...
But that’s not reality...
Each and every one of us can wish for things and crap in the other and all we will end up with is dirty hands...
That’s reality...

a reply to: 5StarOracle

I wish Iran wasn’t an actual threat with no interest in terrorist activities....

Yet the biggest sponsor and exporter of Islamic extremism and terrorism in the world is Saudi Arabia.
No moves to declare war on them?

Why not?

Possibly because the US buys Saudi oil and possibly more importantly Saudi Arabia buys # loads of weapons, ammunition and other US military goods and the not so insignificant amount of money that the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority has invested in US bonds and other investments.

I'm really liking this guys musings.

We've given our CIA billions of dollars. Surely they have a way to discreetly get rid of the Iranian leadership. Let the people choose their Replacements. The people are sick of their leaders anyway.

We've given our CIA billions of dollars. Why can't they find a way to get rid of our unwanted leaders? Start with the FED, the DHS, and the NSA. We're sick of them, anyway. We won't even need replacements. We can print our own money interest free, walk on to an commercial flight without being sexually assaulted, and not pay for the government to spy on everyone.

The US government has properties along the Canadian border...doesn't mean we're planning to invade.

Meme education, so so smart!

In the previous decades the population admired and emulated the US, and were far more modern and progressive than what most would believe.
