Congrats! You got your war...

Really? What are they now?

The leftists are fascist, racist, and collectivist, there's nothing American about them, or their positions.

And yeah, we don't WANT to be in step with the rest of the world. There's no valid reason to be. We don't want to be globalist, either.

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

Perhaps to get things back on Rabbit's track:

Iran fired a missile at Turkey.  Turkey is a NATO member, and the missile was reported to have been destroyed by NATO forces.

So:  Is Turkey required to ask for help under Article 5, or is that automatic?  If Turkey does not ask, then why?  If Turkey does ask, then what?

- oldman (and please stop snipping at each other)

NATO is relatively meek and impotent, left to their own devices. Honestly, more than half of NATO never meets their commitments, so it doesn't necessarily matter if Turkey is required, or it is automatic. Whether or not they ask, excuses will be made, and it won't matter anyway. Turkey has no desire to get involved. Neither does NATO.


Iran flinging missiles and drones in a desperate attempt to escalate the hostilities, or draw other nations in, is just that, desperate. And extremely unlikely to have any sort of result Iran would find palatable or desirable.

Well then it’s a good thing they live in… America.

Yeah, good for them. If they lived in most any place they claim is better, being rabidly anti government would have them winning the room temperature derby in rapid order. If America was what they claimed it was, they'd have ceased to exist long ago.

Or you know, the rest of the world can be in step with us. News flash Americans created the most prosperous, rich, and advanced country on the planet. Why would we want to be like the rest of the world? We created our own measurement system for a reason.

When the same people who tell me they are pro American while disgracing our founders and tearing down their statues, to me says a lot about their real motives and infiltration of our culture. Americans are a culture. Americans are a people. We arent just a country open for invasion for anyone and everything.

Glad it makes you happy. The rest of the world... we don't want any part of it.

Now we have not only some speaking for everyone on this board but the whole world. At least there is some entertainment value in this.

[AKIron]

The Iranian people and the Iranian refugees around the world are largely supporting what we are doing. Iran's neighbors are getting on board too. Why does anyone elsewhere think their opinion matters more than the people most affected by this?

That's rhetorical btw. The answers are obvious.

[RUSH1]

Glad it makes you happy. The rest of the world... we don't want any part of it.

So you're not denying being a globalist socialist as a few of us have suspected.  Why do you even need the US?  Everything OK in Canada?  Usually people squeak when they feel slighted, or something has been taken from them. So,  what have we taken from you (adjusts to second breast to give Canada a better suckle).

The first torpedo kill since WW2 has been confirmed.

There were 2 in the Falklands in the 1980s

I should have qualified that statement as “the first confirmed torpedo kill bu a US ship since WW2”. What was the West Falkland ship you Brit’s smoked again, the Belegrino?

After speaking to several direct sources, I now feel confident in reporting that an F-15E Strike Eagle with the U.S. Air Force crashed early Wednesday during a strike mission over Southwestern Iran. The cause of the crash is still unknown, though at least one source attributed it…
