justin3651 Posted January 8, 2020 #30 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I do agree with strong retaliation but a nuke and/or destroying their capital is a bit much. Bombing out their military installations and military assets and maybe some targeted missle kills of various leaders would suffice at this point imo. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted January 8, 2020 #31 Share Posted January 8, 2020 What’s the flight time from Diego Garcia to Tehran? I’d flyover Tehran and do a letter drop, with the letter reading in Farsi “if you’re reading this, you’d be dead if that was a bomb. This was your only warning”.

Because the neocon ideas, including "regime change" are a recipe for perpetual war. I do not think it is good or neither intelligent to put US troops in danger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now... imagine that they'd been allowed to complete a nuke to put atop one or more of them. They already certainly have chem/bio capability. If they send one of those to Israel, we could easily see a nuke used in that exchange. It won't surprise me AT ALL to see Damascus destroyed completely in the coming hours or days.

Whatever they do, hit Iran 10 times harder until they stop playing this tit for tat nonesense. I say we Nuke them, and take out their Captial, if they don't surrender continue to destroy cites until they do, I mean fire purifies. peace NUKE????

+susieice Posted January 8, 2020 #41 Share Posted January 8, 2020 NBC just broke into programming. They are saying two bases were targeted. Helicopters are in the air. Iraqi authorities say there are some Iraqi casualties. The missiles came in two waves. Iran says they fired ballistic missiles and will attack again if the US retaliates.

DarkHunter Posted January 8, 2020 Author #42 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Trump is about to address the nation, Iranian jets are scrambling. The bases I heard hit so far are Ain Al Assad airbase, a base near Erbil, and Taji but conflicting reports on if Taji was actually hit or not 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
