Then again Iran is a loose ally of Russia if they want to get even for sanctions.

 

What's weird about that is Russia was considered by Iran to be one of the Great Satans, alongside the US and Israel, up to the mid-90s or so.

Realpolitik has a funny way of getting in the way.

This here proves your idiocy.

 

 

 

I think you should let the adults talk. This isn't new information.

Well, there's Hezbollah. They're Shias.


And then there's the Sunni terror groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad ALSO funded by Iran. But let's gloss over that, "adult."

Most Muslims are Sunni.  This observation is not exactly profound.  

 

 

What is this !@#$ing stupidity?  We've dedicated far more resources to combatting terrorism than Iran...and we've actually fought a couple battles with Iran.

 

See JoeSixPack for why I have to make statements like that. People still don't understand, so these simple concepts have to be explained again and again.

You dullard.

 

Your assertion was we shouldn't be hostile toward Iran because somehow, in your deluded mind, they're not a state sponsor of terror on the order of Saudi Arabia.

 

I provide three examples of organizations that are funded directly by Iran, to which your response was "neener-neener."

 

You're an idiot.

You even quoted me saying "while most terrorist organizations are Sunni". I didn't say all. ISIS and Al Qaeda are two of our biggest threats and they have both attacked Iran.

Your question was:

 

Quote

Why aren't we at war with Saudi Arabia when they are huge sponsors of terrorist organizations. Iran is Shia while most terrorist organizations are Sunni, and yet we are more worried about them.

 

with the implication being that Iran isn't a state sponsor of terror on the order of Saudi Arabia and therefore not worthy of our attention.

 

You're an idiot if you believe that, bottom line.

 Besides pushing out a dictator we put in place, can you factually state one time that they attacked us? 

 

Does seizing an embassy and holding hostages count?

 

It isn't done too often.

Who do you think was doing the most killings of allied forces in Iraq? It was Iran. Your ignorance is seeping off the page. 

 

This leaves hezbollah out of the conversation, but if you add them the attacks by Iran on western people's and interests dwarf that of any other nation state including the Saudis (who you clearly don't know had a massive purge and leadership change in November).

Iran shoots back at Trump: 'Color us unimpressed'

 

"COLOR US UNIMPRESSED," Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted Monday night, employing Trump's penchant to use all capital letters in his tweets.


"The world heard even harsher bluster a few months ago. And Iranians have heard them -- albeit more civilized ones -- for 40 yrs. We've been around for millennia & seen fall of empires, incl our own, which lasted more than the life of some countries. BE CAUTIOUS."

The Golan area is tense with Iranian forces nearby.

Israel spurns Russia’s “100km offer” after 8 pro-Iranian militias reach its doorstep

 

Putin’s emissaries, despite their high rank, had little hope of talking Israeli leaders around when the evidence of his perfidy was in full sight.

 

Contrary to his pledges to the US and Israel, Hizballah and Shiite militias loyal to Tehran were operating freely at this moment on the Syrian-Israeli Golan border. DEBKAfile has obtained a detailed list of these hostile forces:

 

 A high-placed Israeli source said Israel’s answer was:  No dice! Every last Iranian and their militia pawns, including Hizballah, must be removed from every inch of Syria and they must take their precision ballistic missiles with them.

The good thing about Kasich is that when he stands next to McCain, McCain finally looks like a Republican.
