I was talking to a guy the other day who’s a Major in the Reserves. His unit is top of the list for deployment if anything kicks off. He’s not impressed by what’s going on right now.

I concur.

I'm going to Kuwait and New Delhi shortly, I'd also rather it calmed down please

At least the free in flight beer will numb it should the worst happen!

Worse than having to go to Kuwait and New Delhi?

What a place to be. It’s not like Iran has nuclear capability or anything like that...

Fingers crossed something else will be along to distract Trump soon.

I actually side with the stupid orange cunt on this one. Iran are being very naughty boys and a good botty smack is more than in order.

While I agree that Iran aren’t brilliant, I can’t see anything good happening if we go in and smash another country to bits.

Especially considering that the Americans have been itching to go in since Trump got in.

Well the regime change in Iraq went brilliantly.

It’ll be too much of a shitshow to have a full blown war, Iran are much more powerful than the other Middle Eastern countries that have been invaded so far, and Russia seem to have a much greater vested interest in working with them.

Yeah but we got rid of all their weapons of mass destruction and thus stopped the Middle East falling into further instability and secured the safety of the West at the same time.

Where's the money in this for the US? What's behind the sudden push? Must be money related. Threat of cheap nuclear fuel or something?

Not even past the key points and

"The plan also proposes nearly a billion dollars to build up the Palestinians’ tourism sector."



Errr, might want to ask the Israelis amd Hamas to tone it down a bit then!

The cheapest thing would be for America to just pay the $50 billion surely. Hasn’t the war in Iraq and Afghanistan cost over $2 trillion so far?
Anyway isn’t the whole instability in the Middle East a great money spinner as the USA and UK can keep selling lucrative arms deals to Saudi?
