Rayvin 4964 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) UAE involved in the war then. Almost certain that we're going to be launching planes as well isn't it... Â Israel, Iraq.. I mean I'm not at all clear what Iraq is going to do here actually. They want rid of the Americans but do they want rid of them enough to ally with Iran? Â I think this is going to be a proper war tbh. Edited January 8, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Fuck knows. They must have a plan. Iran leader is in the control room. The operation is called Overwhelming Response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Iran's plan is to kick them out of Iraq by force and then leave it there. Not sure if US forces in Iraq can repel the full might of Iran's armed forces. They're fairly serious power wise and fairly high tech. It's not like Iraq or Afghanistan.  If Trump decided on this on the fly with no prep, I think Iran might actually hand them their arses. If they pre-planned it then Iran is in trouble. Edited January 8, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 It's in the UAE where the yanks are launching from is my best guess. Although i don't know why they'd telegraph it so maybe it's false info..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Why is that significant? Who are they? I know you posted their tweet but still. Â Also reports coming in that for all this sounds serious, Iran's missiles killed precisely no one. Impressive shit. Â Maybe that's enough to avoid a conflict...?

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Dunno some radgey posting probably fake news. Seemed creible though. Got shut down pretty quickly though. I don't think 0 fatalities is confirmed is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Fox and CNN reporting it.  I reckon, unless a lot more is about to come out, that this is not as significant as it originally sounded. Which makes sense when you factor in that Iran would have to be fucking mental to do this  Trump has now apparently cancelled his planned TV announcement. Has Iran just trolled everyone by firing the world's least effective rockets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 They were ballistic missiles apparently. I read Iran were claiming to have killed 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13841 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Iran are saying they’ve totally destroyed bases, fighter jets & killed scores of soldiers as well as actually downing a US fighter jet.

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Iran threatening to set Hezbollah loose on Israel if the US responds man why on earth would they want a state as ruthless as Israel involved in this too? This is all bluster IMO. They will claim internally that they won a famous victory, and hope that the Americans consider the attack so superficial that they don't bother to reply.  If so, as much as I hate to say it, Trump has made a decent play out of this.
