Israel also already at war with Lebanon in everything but name. 550 Lebanese are dead at the hands of Israeli rockets since Monday, notwithstanding those hurt in the pager explosions, all in the name of destroying Hezbollah. Israel's genuine defence of their actions is that they sent an emergency alert message telling people to get out the way, less than 24 hours before the airstrikes began in ernest. Oh, and those people can return to their homes once their campaign has finished. How amazingly generous.Lots of hinting on the Webz that something is about to be set loose shortly.

Many people forget that Iranians / Persians do not view themselves as lowly semites like their Arab neighbors. They do not want to rush into a war on behalf of what they view as a semitic conflict. Many still cling to their Aryan origins, the proclamation of Dariush etc. Only in the northern provinces are there still any families that have undiluted blood, pretty much everywhere else in Iran the people are mixed with Turks, Mongols, Afghans, and Arabs, even some Africans in the south. If any of you have ever spent time in Mexifornia you'll notice a lot of them in the Los Angeles county. These are mostly the "Persian" jews who left following the revolution. They're just as ugly as regular jews.Israel also already at war with Lebanon in everything but name. 550 Lebanese are dead at the hands of Israeli rockets since Monday, notwithstanding those hurt in the pager explosions, all in the name of destroying Hezbollah.

The majority of the dead are likely not connected with Hezbollah in any way (from memory only two senior commanders and a handful of soldiers have been killed in the airstrikes) and already details of the number of children being blown to smithereens at the hand of Israel is being buried; the current number stands at 50.
This is a genocide in everything but name and the government's of the west stand silent. I expected nothing less.
What Iran does from this point on is the real question. Leave Hezbollah to be the bomb sponges, or use it as an excuse for a head on war with Israel?
Iran does not want a war with the United States which is why they’re restraining from fighting Israel which could drag them in.HOWEVER, this strategy by Israel to bait Iran into a war is EXTREMELY FOOLISH. That won’t rescue their situation in Gaza but 1/2
If I was Iran’s National Security Adviser, I’d tell them to NOT fight Israel. Let Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah, Iraq, etc… do the fighting. Iran has Israel EXACTLY where they want them to be right now. Don’t change it and give excuses for America to enter2/2

20+ years. Once you've lived long enough in America and heard all of the "America is coming to an end" soon for 40+ years you begin to realize that life as we know it today won't just "collapse" overnight like some Hollywood armageddon movie. The Decline will be gradual. And as of today they are building another Starbucks up the street from my house and my electricity is flowing freely during a hurricaine dubbed as "the worst storm in this state's history." In other words, The Decline hasn't even really begun, much less are we nearing some crisis-apex that would necessitate a draft.How long until there is a military draft in the USA?
If you have lived in the USA for 40+ years and don't see a significant decline, then either you are not being honest or you are not paying attention.20+ years.

China will never have to lift a finger. Maybe supply the proxies with some satellite images or some extra high tech devices. The US military is so understaffed, so weak, and so full of diversity disaster that when ships start getting hit by missiles, and the call to land and go house to house is made, all hell will break loose.^I agree about the decline being slow and continuous, but f there is a war with China, things will take a big step downwards.

Or I'm choosing to see something positive that you are denying exists. You're talking to me here as if I'm some low IQ nitwit. I'm telling you my "facts." My life in America is the best it's ever been, I'm making more money than I ever have, the electricity flows 99.9% of the time and I just paid $2.62 a gallon for gas. Guys like you have been trying to tell us that your ideas about some future Mad Max world where all women hate all men and where the US dollar collapses exists now. That's bullshit. It does not exist now. The dollar is strong, gas is cheap, there's still good women to be had, and life is good if you frame it that way. Yes, some things have changed for the worse, and we all agree on that (the browning of America, women becoming masculine, jewish run government/media, atheism, expensive housing, etc.), but when handed lemons you must make lemonade. Things are good if you want them to be. If you don't want them to be, then you're left with no other choice but to flee to another country. But beware, "The grass is always greener on the other side."If you have lived in the USA for 40+ years and don't see a significant decline, then either you are not being honest or you are not paying attention.
Sure, but that's not my point. The collapse is relatively mild and slow and there is still plenty of opportunity and time left. The Starbucks example is just that, an example that contruction is booming, that we are still building, not armageddon-style collapsing.Starbucks, to me, represents part of the collapse.
