Iranian Defense is a Threat to the US?

In light of recent reports which have revealed that the US is conducting illegal terrorist operations inside Iran to destabilize the government and is intent on attacking before the elections, somehow an Iranian missile test has become the real threat. Somehow Iran has become the agitator in this scenario, even though it’s still well within its rights.

US troops are currently occupying Iran’s neighbor illegally and a nuclear Israel has been running bombing drills for months. Imagine if a heavily-armed group of murderous thieves killed your neighbor, took up residence in their house, and made it very clear that you’d be next. Would you then be in the wrong for buying a weapon for protection? Would you be the threat? The fact that Iran can defend itself, if only slightly, is really only a threat to nations like ours who are intent on attacking it.

  1. It’s absurd how this whole israeli thing really is. The biggest hoax ever to increase disastrous capitalism. You know as soon as they invade it’s going to be a big mess like iraq all over again.

  2. That analogy was right on the mark.

  3. The sadness is the threat is not to US, but to someone who pays off our so called representatives to support their agendas and not ours. When I say ours, I mean the people. As people we are forced to look away and support ourselves as best we can, for our government does not support us.

  4. Personally, I cannot see the American people backing a war with Iran if it comes to fruition. Israel attacks Iran first, and then the United States retaliates on behalf of Israel, I do not see much public support for such a war.

    I have heard rumors that oil prices will dastically increase if war is waged against Iran. This, coupled with the idea above, I do not see the American Government having an easy time selling this to the people.

  5. I actually looked on Iran’s missile threat as a good thing for us.

    Seriously.

    Look, Iran may be decades away from developing a nuclear missile, but the fact is they are, as a nation, much better off than Iraq was. When we invaded Iraq, it was done with a certain level of impunity. First of all, they HAD no ballistic defense in the first place, so that was good. And their military paled by comparison to ours, so that was good too. It’s almost understandable why the Dipshits thought it was going to be “roses thrown at our feet.” (Of course they failed to calculate the whole “human spirit” factor, with the long drawn out guerrilla war in which it results.)

    But with Iran, it’s a bit different. They are not economically as weak as their occupied counterpart. They have a much more sophisticated military. (I’m not saying whether or not it’s up to par with ours, simply because Iraq’s WASN’T, and look at our situation with them.) And now, with a missile test, it’s showing the West, “Look fuckers, you come in here, expect a goddamn Fight!”

    It makes the Chicken-Hawks in Washington at least pause for thought before sounding the charge. At most, it may just deter another costly and unnecessary war altogether.

    I see no negative here.
