Iran / Iraq V US again

[BillMasen]

that's new to me, thx Bill for the tip as my own media here is totally silent about things like this.
have to check that news too..

I cannot find the bloody article now, It was about extremist groups operating and training in Europe, I think it was RT but not sure.

 

[jontte]

well,they are training here in Europe,wether we like it or not and despite RT being the mouth piece of Kremlin,we all know Kremlin likes those terrorists as much as we do and would also like to see them dead..possibly not buried but in millions of bits and pieces..

Yes after the Moscow theatre attack and the Beslan school massacre the Russians have no love for the mohamedans

 

[DrHenley]

I take what I read in RT with a grain of salt. It is usually reasonably factual but they like to put a spin on it and like engage in some hyperbole.

I will say this...they have a helluva lot better track record than the MSM as far as accuracy goes.

 

[lonewolf]

I watch the RT channel as it gives me an alternative view point from the usual.

 

[DrHenley]

Well...

So much for the Stock Market Jitters. They seem to have already forgotten that the sky is falling...

 

[DrHenley]

But the Gold Market is still in Chicken Little mode...

Keep climbing, I'm getting ready to sell

I made a tidy profit when it hit $1540 a while back. That was paper gold, but now I'm tempted to sell some physical. I think most of it was bought at $1300 something. Silver still has a long ways to go before I'm above water.

Several States here in the USAhave had Islamist terrorists training camps . Even here in rual Tennessee there have been a couple .
I think sleeper cells are more numerous than one would think . Like out West maybe Texas there was the group that hab buried the Kid that was killed in training.

Yes there were similar reports in the UK of islamists having camp sites out in Wales, The Borders, Highlands etc, but none recently.

 

[lonewolf]

"training camps" more like.

This could fit a couple of Our threads .

I was talking to a Young Lady that works in the medical field . She says the Nurses and their Boss were talking and said . We are going to War with the Middle East , all the Military is going to be deployed , Iran has a giant bomb , they are going to kill all of Us We are going to die .
I pointed out the flaws to their conversation and gave Her some facts but She insisted that these were smart professional People that said that .

 

[Maverick]

Looks like iran shot a bunch of missiles at US Forces in iraq

Read, stay aware of current events and form your own opinions about things. This is exactly why it’s good to stay informed and keep aware of things.

Reckon they will kill a bunch of Iraqis ?

Getting more interesting. Missiles launched from Iran didn't hit any of our troops. Of course MSNBC announced 30 US troops were dead (wrong). Then I saw that military flights were taking off from Turkey (no news on their mission). Then the Iran leader threatened the US with another Lockerbie. Oops. Apparently a few hours later a Ukrainian jet with 180 passengers crashed a few minutes after leaving Tehran (Iranian media claiming the plane had technical problems). Oops.

This is getting real. Iran doesn't seem to know when to stop and sit down and shut up. Everyone remember when they predicted Trump would start a world war? He's barely flexing a finger and Iran is doing the most damage to themselves without help! But definitely a time to keeps your head on a swivel.

Oh, and I forgot. Trump warns Iraq that if they vote to kick out US troops, he'll happily sell them the air force base there (pay up & we go). So the Iraqi parliament votes to kick US troops out of Iraq. Their gov't hadn't yet followed up (it takes the gov't to actually do it, more than just the vote), and Trump declares we'll pulling out troops right now, in a matter of days. And they're leaving the front against ISIS immediately (so good luck Iraqi troops).

This is getting more interesting by the minute. Wow.

(double edit) And at the terrorist's funeral, 50+ people were trampled to death. Talk about primitive people. People were forced to attend the funeral. What a messed up country & culture.

 

[TexasFreedom]

Do you remember the game as a kid, where you run up to someone & punch them in the shoulder. Then immediately declare PEACE so they can't hit you back? Childish game, right?

Well apparently that is Iranian foreign policy. After they launched the 30 missiles, they announced that it was the end of escalations. That they intentionally did not directly target US troops, in fact they tried to avoid casualties. That they do not want war. Of course, the Iran media announced that 30 US soldiers had been killed (0 from what I've read).

Trump's response will be entertaining. I suspect he's not doing a counterstrike, militarily. Now who knows what he'll do with a cyber attack. I suspect he'll double down on sanctions. We'll see.

Msnbc chose to use news feed from the Iranian state ran news outlet .
The letter sent from the Iraqi government asking the U.S to leave was unsigned .

WISH YOU THE BEST OF RETURNS FOR THE NEW YEAR BRO!!

A bit of a puzzling response by Iran. I get that they think they are saving face, but it shows that they really don't understand Trump, nor the views of the American people. It really doesn't matter that there were no casualties. It doesn't change the fact that they first attacked a US Embassy, and then attacked US bases. The no casualty bit isn't a "free pass". Personally, I think we should immediately make it so that they are IMPORTING oil this year....

This is iran's outwardly response, a deliberate miss, now it's a wait and see such as cyber attacks and cell attacks.

I do respect that trump didn’t decide to respond militarily. I expected he would but I think right now cooler heads will save lives of the men in the military, on both sides. That’s a good thing.

Alleged to be cell phone video of the missile strike on the airliner. Judging by the time gap between the flash and the audible explosion (13 seconds) it's about 2.7 miles away.

At any rate, the video has gone viral and the Iranians got some splainin' to do.

crash site was cleared with a bulldozer, very suspicious.

The reporter who wrote that story is a moron. The pictures showed a front end loader, not a bulldozer. They have to use a front end loader to lift large pieces of debris, which is completely normal in a plane crash.

I'm not saying Iran won't hide evidence, but the story was not proof of that in any way shape or form.

This is NOT a bulldozer! (picture from the crash site)

This is what a bulldozer looks like:

 

[DrHenley]

Normally what happens after a plane crash is that the pieces of wreckage are taken to a hangar and "reassembled" and then examined to try to understand what happened. Pieces laying haphazardly all over the ground where they fell aren't much use in doing the investigation.

 

[DrHenley]

In this video they talk about how the Iranian people see all this.
This is a MUST WATCH video!

 

[DrHenley]

Iran finally admitted that they shot down the airliner
