US Politics Thread

[stubbo-admin]

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

The Nez Perce campaign

its almost as if 150 years of history have taught them nothing.

The US don't learn. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran, The " Regime change" could only be done the minority Kurds which would about as palatable with the Iranians as would be with the Brits if we had a minorities regime change , The Shah of Iran was a dictator There is no democracy in that region Kings or Emirs for a reason look at what happened when Saddam got "Regime changed" ISIS got hold of some oil and the money that goes with

Iran have motorboats and jet skis with passengers carrying RPGs firing at ships they can permanently hold up ships the straits of Hormuz until such time the bombings and missiles stop

[Westham67]

Iran want out and the US say no apparently. Meanwhile the US warns its citizens' to leave Iraq, That's not a typo IRAQ

More like Inspector* Clouseau than Frank Spencer.

OK, a relatively simple question, I think, is that now looking like a gigantic fuck up from the orange bloke? The great US cap in hand asking for help. FMOB.

Which we should not give.
This is Trump's fuck up and he should own it without endangering any other nation's armed forces.
It is within his power, I hope,.to stop it before it gets any worse.
This whole thing, plainly, has not been thought through at all.and USA has is being lead by the nose by Benjamin Netayahu and his radical cronies.

Agree. I think he’d just walk away today leaving a horrific mess for the whole region to clean up claiming a victory if he could, however hollow and phyrric, but he can’t do it until his master tells him he can.

Another one on the mark....

Kenny Everett: US General

Sadly for the USA the level of stupidity of its President grows day by day week by week.

The situation that presents in the Persian Gulf is the obvious example of this stupidity.

Trump is acting more like Frank Spencer than Forrest Gump in that the hapless Gump managed to make things overall better compared to the never quite clever enough Spencer leaving a trail of devastation.

Trump can end this farago in the blink of an eye but he won’t until Bibi gives him the go ahead. Instead of urging Tankers to grow some and try transiting the Straight of Hormuz Trump needs to put his big boy pants on and strike a deal, it’s what he delusionally prides himself on, but that won’t happen until Israel meets its own objectives.

As for the many countries that Trump has denigrated and disrespected they should leave Trump hoisted by his own petard.

*Straits of Hormuz not straights

Ok I lied, one more for Goose so he can pick apart two clips in disbelief....LOL

 

 

This is the funniest one, it’s actually a pro government rally they’ve used.

disbelief is probably the right word to sum it up.

[Westham67]

Lets not make this personal, The UK , France, China, South Korea and Japan have not responded with any actions to the US  request to assist them to allow the free passage of merchant ships through the straights of Hormuz

In so many words Iran want a deal but the US are not ready 

[goose]

Nutsin son, you really should check some of the stuff you post first.
You’re proof that some people will read & repost anything.

If they continue to have problems holding off Irans attack in the straits of Hormuz, just send Mavropanos to deal with them.

He repelled a missile pretty fucking well!

Fucking LOVED that commitment. Send him to the middle east and he'll headbutt any nuke away piece of piss.
