see? I was right----you never met an Iranian----Iranian nationalists do not take
their history back ONLY 100 years-----that's a drop on the bucket of time. -----
Iranians claim virtually all of the accomplishments of the ancient world-----

Even Iranian jews claim themselves to be THE REAL ORIGINAL JEWS-----
(ie --they are just as arrogant as their muslim countrymen) Iran ----way back
in the time of "queen esther"------ventured forth and was in control----even of
AFGHANISTAN (remember the queen that preceded esther----"VASHTI"----
she was from Afghanistan) --------Iranians got HISTORY----all the way to KABUL---
when Kabul was a real city. They were LITERATE long long before whatever
community spawned you (am I assuming too much?)

See? I was right. You can't list even one nation Iran has invaded in the last 100yrs or more. But i'll try something different. List all the nations your own country has invaded in the last 100yrs or more. Who's really the Empire aggressor?

rignt now Iran is invading Yemen find a Yemeni. then find someone with whom he is confortable enough to talk candidly. Even though hubby is a jew---he
was born in Aden ------THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT credential. Hezbollah is
an invading force-------it controls southern Lebanon and both the capital of
YEMEN (Sanaa---sorta in the middle) and southern Yemen (sorta aden and
the precincts) Hezbollah is also linked to terrorst action ----around the world---here and there. HEZBOLLAH = IRAN

Iran has not invaded Yemen. You have no credible proof for that assertion. Sunnis and Shiites are fighting each other there, but there has been no Iranian invasion.

more BS------the HOUTHiS (more accurately THE HATED) are an impoverished
minority (poor in yemen is-----really really poor---like starving) have been armed
and even fed by IRAN ------for their USEFULNESS-------AND their are HEZBOLLIANS in that land too-----armed and trained and fed and paid for by
IRAN------and entirely under the direction of Iran. The fighting now going on
in Yemen is not the OLD CIVIL WAR-------Baathist vs Royalist. ------now it is
IRAN-----majority Yemenis via impoverished houthis and hezbollian plants
fact1: 40%-50% of yemenis are shia and they have right
fact2: shia hadnt any power in yemen
fact3: houthis are fighting for freedom and their right
fact4: suidi arabia killing children and woman in yemen
fact5: you cant find 1 iranian army......... in yemen

True. It's appalling the U.S. and the UN have completely ignored the Saudi carnage in Yemen. It's conducting horrific bombing raids around the clock. It's killed thousands of women and children. Iran doesn't have an effective Air Force. It hasn't bombed in Yemen. And it certainly hasn't invaded.

Yes, Sunnis and Shiites are killing each other there. What's your point? But Iran has not invaded Yemen. You're wrong. If they had, you Warmongers would be calling for WWIII 24/7.
Muslims kill other Muslims... And anyone else they don't agree with. That is the way of Islam...
 
M(utually) A(ssured) D(estruction) - to destroy them, all we have to do is repudiate our China debt, and they collapse overnight. Mission accomplished.

That's the way to go. Destroy our credit rating because we don't know how to play well with others.
Merely articulating our trump (no pun intended) card, should we ever need to play it.

Not necessarily a 'trump card.' It would have a devastating impact on our own economy...
So would a thermonuclear exchange or regional war.

In any circumstance in which the present state of affairs becomes intolerable and unbearable and unsustainable... if given a choice between War against China and Economic Depression (after repudiating our debt to them), I'll take the Economic Depression, every time. We'll lose far less people and can more readily recover from that, eh?

... American Business now relies heavily on China...
Thanks to decades of trade-giveaways and off-shoring on the part of both Democrats and Republicans, and the Corporatists.

Time to break that dependency, rather like a junkie being weaned off of addicting drugs.

...But China relies heavily on us as well...
Indeed. It's a symbiotic relationship. Advantageous to both. Until the Chinese push us too far. As they are beginning to do in the South China Sea, etc.

...That's why war makes no sense to either country.
Correct. At present. But the world turns, and conditions and goals change, yes?

Both Dems and Pubs are showing signs of committing to bringing manufacturing jobs back on-shore. If that materializes, conditions and goals will, indeed, change.

And, of course, once set into motion, change oftentimes unfolds far more quickly than the naysayers would have imagined possible prior to its unleashing.

Strategically, we need to begin preparing to become self-sufficient again in the manufacturing sphere.

Over-dependency upon cold, calculating, pragmatic foreigners, is not in the best long-term and strategic interests of the United States.


---agriculture and manufacture -----time to STIMULATE the productive
capacities. For all you ISOLATIONISTS out there----right now----bad
news>>>> we depend on the rest of the world BOTH for our lunch and
for our UNDERWEAR. The situation makes me nervous
And that dependency is dangerous and unhealthy.

Time for the junkie to go cold-turkey.

Once, we dominated in such matters.

Now, we're more closely described as The Dominated.

Time to turn that around.

And Devil take the consequences.

maybe she is talking about Achaemenid Empire and great cyrus 2500 years ago.
and maybe she is angry for save jewish by great cyrus ..!!!!!!

Now you're starting to crack me up. You can't list even one nation Iran has invaded in the last 100yrs or more, yet you swear it's the 'Empire Aggressor.' Try looking at your own Country's invasion history. Then get back to me on that.

watta joke according to dani a FULL 50% of the Yemeni population are
OPPRESSED by the evil rest of Yemen. In fact---the religion of Yemenis is
a kind of syncresis ---mostly sunni but with shia element corruption. OSAMA BIN LADEN was Yemeni--------quite a Shiite there ---hug dani? The shiia in Yemen
tend to be illiterate and impoverished and IRAN is using them just as the
AYATOILET KHOMEINI used the illiterates of the hills and country side
of IRAN to take power------"democratically" via local mosque influence. Iran is
controlling the underclass shia with _MONEY, FOOD, AND ARMAMENTS----
the real Yemenis are relativesly unarmed which is the ONLY reason that SANAA and ADEN fell into their PAWS------they are also attacking Saudi arabia over the
border at the DIRECTION OF THE AYATOILET DOGS

Wishful thinking. Will not happen as long as we continue to elect neocons and neolibs...statist warmongers all.

War is the health of the State....and the bigger the State the more war we get.

do so------Saudi arabia is---BOMBING their encalves in return-----ANYONE OUT THERE INTERESTED IN REALITY-----find Yemenis in the USA. They are
RUNNING from the Iranian puppets in Yemen
 
How would these "experts" know ? They haven't had a real military against them in 70 years. They better try whipping cave men and gangsters before entering that "theatre". It's all just a movie anyway.Buy popcorn and Prozac. Enjoy the show. We'll send you a bill later.

yes.yemeni are savage and barbarian and illiterate and . yemen is hell. so what ?

So, no invasions in at least the last 100yrs or so? You acknowledge that, no? And i don't give a shite what they do in their own country. It's none of my business.

You Warmongers are so bizarre. You truly believe your own country can invade and kill anywhere anytime, but God forbid any other country do it. It's such loony hypocrisy. Take a realistic closer look at your own country's history of bloody invasion. After you do that, we can have an honest rational discussion.

Cyrus was a Zoroastrian------Zoroastrians FLED THE FILTH of Islamic
Iran-------and ended up with lots of jews who fled the filth in BOMBAY---
(now Mumbai) Jews and Zoroastrians still get on well in Mumbai---to the
CONSTERNATION of the local muslims------In fact there are Zoroastrian
temples in Israel------only a few ---barely holding on in remote areas of Iran.
More interesting factoids------"ZOROASTRIAN WRITING" is the stuff from
which the Arabic script was invented-----only about 1600 years ago. Ever
meets a ZOROASTRIAN---paul? I have.........such people may not want
to know you
