This is why Iran is not a military threat to the US. Terrorist threat yes, military threat no.

They are neither. The US wants regime change cause the Israel lobby runs the US. The media is hilariously over hyping the protests.

Iran backs terrorism in its proxy war against Christianity, Democracy, and western cultural influences in general, so they are only an indirect terrorist threat.

Militarily? Doubtful. An American soldier sitting at a video console under Cheyenne Mountain can press a button to order a drone to fire a missile at an Iranian general and send him on a one-way trip to Allah. All Iran can do to retaliate is rouse their rabble to scream in protest, fire a few missiles, and then shoot down one of their own planes -- that's not much of a threat to any of us here in the 'States.

The US and Co have been backing Al Qaeda in Syria, organ eating Jihadists who have murdered priests.

You've been wrong so many times before, there is no reason to believe you now.

You are conveying what I was getting at. There is nothing to worry about.

What have I been wrong about? I said Iran could have shot down the plane but I didn't think it was likely, partly because the US lie about everything else.

Where are Western reporters caring about the mass murder going on in Yemen? Where are they when Chile protest? UK reporters fly over the French people who have been protesting for a year to go to Hong Kong because we hate China. Wake up.

^ John, may I ask how you describe yourself politically? (Recognizing that political cultures differ from country to country.) Leftist, rightist, conservative, liberal, socialist, anarchist, globalist, nationalist, monarchist, Trotskyite, Calvinist, Venusian, etc.? Or do you consider yourself a party of one?

Sure. Why does it have to be any? Out of those I'd say I'm a nationalist. Imperialism isn't nationalism. Trump said he'd put America first but he always puts Israel first. And ISIS thanked God for him killing the General :roll:
