Kinglicious 01/04/20 7:34:14 PM #342:	Also no Iran isn't going to war with us. They'd never declare it and that's not their way of operating, they MUCH prefer covert actions and have been doing that for decades. There may well be an escalation on that, though if that gets tied back we'll probably kill some more of their military leaders as the only place their budget has gone to thanks to sanctions collapses. And if we don't, Israel will. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake.

red sox 777 01/04/20 8:24:30 PM #345:	LordoftheMorons posted... I doubt they will intentionally escalate to a full on war, but they will be compelled to respond (and then Trump will of course respond) and so on, and at any point in the chain there's a risk of one side miscalculating. If they see this, it makes more sense not to escalate. Offer submission, apologize to Israel, and build Trump Tower Tehran. Would you escalate against Trump knowing that he's just threatened to level cities? The rational move is to back down. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:932470330] in Politics C...
