I was not expecting to hear this for at least a couple of weeks.

Another hour, another indication of what a complete cluster**** Trump has initiated.

Or perhaps Trump is using that threat as leverage instead of ridiculously alleging that there will be limits on the force used during a war.

I'd say the chances of Trump putting any meaningful number of troops on the ground are slim to none. Perhaps special operations, and the sort, but nothing more.

It's far too late at this point. Trump is either talking out his ass or looking forward to Operation Epic Fail II. I'll just repeat my prediction from last year that we won't defeat Iran short of a ground invasion.

As a Christian, you must affirm that any worship outside of Christ is demonic worship. Period.

They've built 48 mosques in Texas in just the last two years. Think about what we're surrounded by




Nonsense. Jews and Muslims are not devil worshipers.

Anything that is not of Christ, and leads men astray, is the work of Satan. I think the vast majority of Christians understand that (or should).

Are you trying to tell me that Jews worship Satan?

Tell me, do you believe that Jews and Muslims are worshipping the same God as Christians? If no, what is it they are worshipping?

Yes.

And since you believe that Muslims and Jews likewise worship the triune God of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, do you believe they are saved?

I didn't say that, and you didn't answer my question.

I asked you whether Jews and Muslims worship the same God as Christians, and your response was "Yes."

That being the case, what God do you believe Christians worship? I am not Catholic, but it's my understanding that even the Catholics believe (or purport to believe) in a triune God. Is that not what you believe?

As for the Jews and Muslims, they aren't worshipping God at all. There is only one God, and it is the triune God of the NT. If you don't believe in that God, then you are worshipping something else entirely. What it is, I am not sure. Maybe just a figment of their imagination. But whatever it is, it is indeed of the devil.



Jews, Muslims, and Christians worship the God of Abraham, but only Christians understand his triune nature.

I'm still curious what you think is the Good News and why Catholics don't believe it.

No, it's not God's nature Jews and Muslims get wrong, but God himself. They don't worship the true God of the universe.

As for Catholics, they don't believe salvation is a free gift, but instead they believe in a works-based faith. I've encountered Catholics who I believe are Christian, and although misguided on some issues, get the important points right. You are not one of them, based on many of your comments on this board, as well as the issues you support.

Unbelievable.

Only to the non-Christian.

LOL. I won't further derail the thread just to dignify this nonsense.

Why should anyone care about your predictions, Sam?

What credentials do you have that demonstrate comprehension of the stakes, much less the current conditions, not to mention the eventual resolution of this crisis?

I see none. You have only your anger and your spite.

You made my point for me. You (and Iran) don't know whether he's talking out of his ass, or really would engage in a ground assault, which as you suggested may be the only way to defeat Iran.

Thus, that kind of uncertainty gives him leverage.

LOL uh, no. Geeze what a doofus you are. In geopolitics, you don't take anything off the table. Never. Ever. Make think you'll nuke 'em for nothing. Don't hit 'em hard. Hit 'em furiously, often, deeply, everywhere.

The cluster**** was the last 47 years of unwillingness to deal with the problem. Even Reagan screwed the pooch.

You make the mistake of thinking the message was directed to Iranians rather than Americans.

And of course you believe Reagan screwed the pooch. He was a realist, not a fanatic. We're about to see what happens when you fanatics have your way.

First Kuwaiti I ever met was in Khartoum in 1992. I walked up to a group of Arab diplomats (some of whom I knew) so they would introduce me to the ones I didn't know. First new hand I shook introduced himself as 1st Secretary of Embassy of Kuwait. I introduced myself, of the "US Embassy". His eyes opened wide and he quickly stepped forward gave me a big, long bear hug. "Thank you for saving my country." The other Arabs all smiled. A couple clapped. Was a good day to be an American. One of the more memorable moments in my life.

It is always fashionable to ***** about America, but down deep, everybody knows we are the good guys. Especially the bad guys. It's why the hate us.

Reagan totally mis-managed the response to the Marine barracks bombing. Sent a message of weakness to the Mullahs. Trump is the first POTUS to actually poke them back in any meaningful way.

But you live in an alternate reality, so none of that matters.

They're using drones, decoys, and old missiles to dry up our defenses. We'll get tired of it and tell them to quit before too long. I have it on good authority from Trump that the Iranians will obey.

Talking about predictions, aren't we all glad that if we do run real low on our weapon stockpiles that China, North Korea and Russia that we can predict they won't take advantage of the situation?
