>Cameroon prosperitythat's an oxymoron
Trump explains how the US smuggles ships through the Strait of Hormuz:>"We're bringing in ship after ship. Every once in a while, they throw a little missile. We go, bing. That's the shit of the missile. We knock it out. I tell you, how cool is that? You know? The miss... Missile is coming. Missile is coming. Missile is gone. That's it. And the ships just keep sailing."https://files.catbox.moe/cwvltc.mp4OMFG xD
Important threads always slide xD

>>543910087How is Iran still launching missiles?Why can't we get a single boot on the ground affer 7 months? Even Russia got inside Ukraine by day 1. Are we worse than Russia?

>>543915289>How is Iran still launching missiles?the mullahs glow, so even if they're not, glowniggers can make it like they are
>>543916489Is this really the new loyalist cope? That Iran is mossad?
>>543916702fact of the matter is, Iran was coup'd twicethe first time installed the Shah, but once the Shah turned out to be too nationalist for globohomo's tastes, they did the process again and instead used a faceless unelected board of religious authorities so that a single person wouldnt be the lynchpinreminder that in 2009 Iranians, who hate the mullahs, tried jumping on the Arab Spring bandwagon since it was the rage all across the region at the timenot realizing that all Arab Springs glowed and this is the reason why glownigger Obama called this lone grassroots uprising fake and gayand then once he said this, the mullahs went on a killing spreeand once their killing spree was completed and control of Iran no longer under threat, Obama then gave them pallets of cash in return for their help
>>543909659Good. Thank God. Shut down all global shipping and trade please Allah

>>543909659People were told from the 70s to stop burningboil. They could all be 100% electric for heating, cooking, transport 10 years ago but no, people didn't want to comply. So now they'll comply.War will be needed to get rid of the most stubborn. They chise their fate.
>>543915289Russia is right next to Ukraine and has a huge flat land border with pro-Russian enclaves already set up. Iran is a mountain fortress with a coastline and has been preparing for an assault for decades.Not really the same

>>543919228I was posting on here during that time actually.
>>543918772Sounds like it was a bad idea to start a war with a country that we can't get inside of. What happened to all those bases we had around Iran?
>>543919178>when israel threatens the samson option its winning and strength codedNo one said this.
>>543919580>Sounds like it was a bad idea to start a war with a country that we can't get inside of.Yeah I would agree. But we are a disposable civilisation
