Are they still trying to find the basement at Cosmic Pizza?

This is the old LaRouche organization. Calling them clowns is unfair to clowns......who laugh at them
Eastern Med is not exactly close to the Strait of Hormuz where the carrier is going. French have a land base at Abu Dhabi
I'm not sure you understand how the IRGC works. It's incredibly decentralized. Think of them as your friendly neighborhood homicidal thug. They are in the populace and can rock n roll pretty quickly

It's not like a regular army overall
That's pretty far from the Strait of Hormuz

Maybe you should rethink your capacity as a purveyor of information.....or misinformation.

You are not good at either one
With Abraham chairing the campaign, she's now running for second place. Doc is a smart guy, but not terribly politically astute.
Officially yes, but the reality is different. Maybe 60% identify as Muslim with the majority of the rest identifying as secular but culturally Muslim , there are some Christians in the Northwest. There used to be a few hundred thousand Jews but they have migrated to Israel, the US and other countries. Zoroastrians are still around but not in any particularly large number.

There were no mass forced conversions when the Ayatollah took over. The country was overwhelmingly Muslim then.....Shah used to go on pilgrimages to Mecca and used to bring a camera crew with him to film it.

You said whatever it takes, so they need someone who is experienced to catch shite on the ground in Iran. So you fit the description. You should re- up since you think it such a good idea to get your arse shot at in someone else's country. Hey, kill them over there so we don't have to do it here.

We ain't defending shite there unless you think protecting Israel's or Saudi arse is somehow protecting our arse. Don't hand me the nuclear argument. Bibi has been peddling that crap since Rabin got killed 30 years ago.....and besides did we not obliterate their capacity over the summer?

I'm tired of placating Saudis and Israelis, because that is what we are doing.

So, you enlisting and looking for some action in Bandar Abbas or Isfahan? You say whatever it takes, so I assume you will abandon your keyboard assault and volunteer for night action in the Iranian cities or maybe countryside?

Can the Marines or Army count on you, or are you thinking this is a good idea for someone else or their kid?

re: Who purchases Iranian oil?

Posted by KiwiHead on 3/2/26 at 4:03 pm to
China purchases about 90% of Iran's oil or about 12% of its daily needs
Not as many Grey's to touch his leg and get in a fight with.
We had to. Israel probably only has the capacity to keep up long range capabilities for 3 weeks max at any one time.
French navy is pretty good. Not as big as the US but pretty effective. Good sub fleet as well. They are probably moving into the Eastern Med in a support capacity for us. Usually we have the French patrol the Caribbean for us.
The only thing the Chinese like more than wanting to invade Taiwan is making the West think they want to invade Taiwan. The Chinese will just buy more oil from the Saudis and Iraqis. They are quite content in playing a long game watching us expend treasure and assets in the Arab world. They'd rather have us wear ourselves out.
There was a high incidence of close cousin inter marriage between royal families in Europe until the first World War.
Sounds like he needs the Whipping Post....He's No Angel.
I suspect that the mullahs went out of their way to install a majority of the bureaucracy and governmental offices with a bunch of paranoid and equally brutal as well as ideologically similar shitheads like themselves. 45 years of institutional conditioning.

There are a plethora of unknowns in this game....among the US and Israel as well as Iran in particular
Why? They are content to watch us weaken ourselves
Israelis don't give a frick about anything but Israel. If they can get the US to feel the same......even better.
Do you honestly think that Persian Shia are going to tolerate Arab Wahabbist Sunnis as an occupying force? Iran looks like a complicated country to govern.
You do realize the Shah was in power in 1955 when he went to work there. She was born there in 1956. Shah was not too crazy about Communists. And she moved to Chicago in 1962 so unless she was a precocious 6 yr old, your argument falls flat. So I'll grant you the fact that she was born there to American parents.
