War on Iran

Can't find the clip at the moment, but the other day an Iranian professor remarked that (paraphrasing) Trump has now reminded a whole new generation of Iranians that when the Great Satan isn't busy raping little girls, they're dropping bombs on little girls.

It is not “wild”. Iran knows the key card it holds is the ability to disrupt fossil fuel supply and to some extent international trade through the Red Sea. Hence the attacks on oil states and shipping off the coast of Oman. Shipping insurers are already baling out, the prices of oil and gas are rising sharply, and Maersk is re-routing via the Cape of Good Hope.

Iran hasn’t the means to attack the USA directly, but it knows American voters are highly intolerant of presidential policies that disrupt supply chains, and increase inflation and the cost of motor fuel. So it looks to me as if their actions make perfect sense.

This calls to mind, not for the first time, the ancient Welsh martial art of Llap Goch

I am so glad to have learned of this ancient method, though I feel you were rather irresponsible in posting something which led to me trying to pronounce Welsh correctly for 20 minutes and then needing medical attention. Now I can't even pronounce "rural."

Yes, Llap Goch is what this is. Though Turnip is such an amateur, because the masters understand that killing your enemies, if done sloppily, only increases their numbers.

Yup. The best method of defence is attack. And the best method of attack is surprise. Therefore: you attack your opponent before he has even thought of attacking you! -_O

Ask me ten years ago if I would have thought an American president could make Maurice Chevalier seem way less creepy singing "Thank Heaven for little girls" and I would have said no. Now, however...

With respect to international relations, how exactly is the leadership of Iran "insane"?

One would think that you, of all people, would recognize that funding Hamas and Hezbollah, for instance, is simply Iran acting in it's own self-interest. Netanyahu, sociopathic, genocidal leader of the sole nuclear power in the region, has openly stated that war with Iran has been his dream for the past 40 years--that is insane!

Your claim that the leadership of Iran is "insane", without any attempt at explanation, just seems to be further evidence of your own bigotry and supremacism, or just simply trolling.

Yes he's something of a specialist in self-interest. ;)
 
One thing this war is showing, though, and it's quite important, is that the US bombs are now smarter than the President! ;)

You are confusing being rational and sane with agreeing with your beliefs. The fact you dislike their beliefs doesn't change the fact they are acting in a rational manner given their goals and capabilities.

My thoughts/beliefs/opinions on Trump are well known. So well known I would dare not ever try and go to the USA. My thoughts/beliefs/opinions on the Iranian regime is determined by measuring their political standards and actions, against the International human rights standards and principles. Iran's ideology is catastrophically flawed by any standards of measuring. The same International human rights standards are also attacked under the Trump regime. I abhor both. Just as I can understand that over throwing the cruel regime governing Iran, is desirable,, I also understand that it is being done at this time for all the wrong reasons, and against the charter of the UN. To let such a regime, (Iran) obtain a weapon of mass destruction. considering the fanaticism and contempt they have for International human rights and law, is flirting with danger. Perhaps as Trump so hypocritically has put, the every day Iranian citizen should rise up now against their oppressive regime, so to should USA citizens (and the world) rise up and unite against this egotistical, self appraised, pussy grabbing, criminally insane, and convicted felon and known pedophile, that is now President of the USA. I just sincerely hope that they, (USA CITIZENS) do not forget the wrongs of this clown, when this current war is over.

He is just acting in Israel's own self-interest, right? Are you too bigoted to see that? Just asking for a friend.

Your continued focus on typos rather than defended your statement would suggest you are either to cowardly to defend your position or not smart enough. but you've always mindlessly supported the republicans party's decent into fascism. So again I ask to ever plan to show why you think Iranian leadership is insane or is it just your casual bigotry.

So you admit than you idea of sanity is based on conformance to your ideals and not based on rationality. I would pray you aren't in a position to make decisions of import.

Why are you so fixated on the word "insane"? What has bigotry got to do with it? It's a terrorist leadership. Implying cowardness or not being smart, is a weak way to have a discussion. I don't "support" the Republican Party or any Party.

I don't have a problem with grabbing Maduro or bombing Iran however.
