We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

As I said in the other thread...

Do you really think Israel won't respond to a direct attack from Iran involving

.. 200 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles?

Yeah, I say Israel attacks a coupla Iran's nuclear facilities and calls it a day...

Yes, Iran, the world's leading sponsor of terrorism, is now more isolated than ever.

It is believed Saudi did more than close their airspace. US and British planes also took part in downing the Iranian invasion.

Iran is becoming increasing isolated by their action.

Time for the US to stop funding "humanitarian aid" so the regime in Tehran can use their resources for military purposes and for another software bombing of Iran's nuclear program.

170 fewer drones for Iran to sell to Russia for use in the Ukraine
The ship the Iranian commandos seized was a privately owned freighter, not a container ship. This is big for a couple reasons. This route has yet to contend with pirates or terrorists, and it was an oil tanker. Insurance rates will now go up for this this route and transporter, thus having more a negative impact on inflation.

Regarding Irans isolation, it is believed up to 9 countries were involved with Saturdays attack. Iran, Iraq, Yemen and Syria, while Saudi, Jordan, US and UK also involved in the defence.

Apperently Bidan made a very timely phone call to Benji nixing a retaliation.

France was also involved in the defense.

At least a dozen countries have condemned the attack from Iran.

Likewise the European Union and the United Nations.

Nixing a retaliation? :?

Israel will take their time and then retaliate in some fashion.

Pretty much a certainty...

Has Justin dressed up in a hijab and announced Canada’s neutral stance and desire for a peaceful resolution with promises to send more non-functional WW2 equipment overseas to assist in defensive efforts?

And justifiably receiving flack today for releasing that National Security discussion all to appease the far far left Hamas supporters within the Democratic Party.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

Wouldn't you want your pound of flesh if they launched 200 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles at you?

Can't set the precedent of letting that go without retaliation.

And hey, wouldn't we all love to see the world's largest sponsor of terror have their nuclear facilities blown the fuck up?

Iran is on record saying they will use their nukes just as soon as they're ready.

You want peace in the Mideast? Take down Iran (regime change?).

No more Hamas (Palestine), Hezbollah (Lebanon), Houthis (Yemen), Islamic Resistance (Syria/Iraq).

War is a trillion dollar business.

Just look at how much money companies are making replenishing countries stock piles of weapons.

Bombing Iran's nukes is a win-win. How can you not do it?

Well Iran was just exposed as impotent on international television and is now about to take it up the ass.

Jordan, Turkey and the UAE also assisted in downing drones.

The Sunni Muslims hate the Persians more than they hate Jews.

An all out conflict in the region at this point will have strange allies and foes.
The Syrian government is pro-Russia and pro-Iran, but most of the Syrians are not.
Lebanon is also split, with Hezbollah being close to Iran while most other political parties are not.
Jordan is pro-USA, but sympathizes with the Palestinians, while trying to have a peaceful coexistence with Israel.
Qatar, who are squeezed between the Saudis and Iran, are trying to be friends with everyone. Cooperating with Israel and funding Hamas.

It could easily become Iran against everybody, but some countries are on the fence.

A lot of people thought it was smart to invade Iraq.
Then it lead to the creation of Isis and fucked up the whole region even worse than before.
