The US likes to lecture other countries about what they can and can't do while boasting about its own capability to vaporize anyone at any time.

Flynn is just acting like a stooge for Israel.

Recent apparent Iranian attack on a Saudi naval vessel:

That's true, we're the only nation to use nuclear bombs as an act of war. The Japanese weren't able to launch a retaliatory nuclear attack though. You can be sure it will be different this time around if the whacknut in the White House now goes nuclear. We're toast.

I personally expect that Israel will trash Iran if they actually develop an ICBM. They've made noises about that for decades. Ya know, it would be really nice if people could get along. Yeah, I know, fat chance.

Trump just wants a war. He'll get one, too, if he keeps going the way he's going. And he's too crazy to stop himself, and sadly he's the type of individual that cannot be talked down from something he decides for himself.

Israel is pushing the US to do its dirty work.  Hopefully the Washington dummies aren't that dumb.

Unbelievable. No. We used nuclear weapons in the end because of Japan's acts of war. What did you even learn in History class? Kids in schools and in colleges these days are being indoctrinated instead of being educated.
Not just you, but also everyone else who jumps on the "Blame America First" bandwagon before looking at the history and the reasoning behind why the United States dropped nuclear weapons on Japan at the end of WWII. Why do you suppose that, then democratic president, Harry Truman, gave the final approval to drop Fat Man and Little Boy on the two Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Japan was a much different country than it is today in this post WWII era. It's ideology was nationalistic and militaristic. Their brutality was on par with Nazi Germany. Do some research, Japan's invasion of Manchuria, its invasion of the South Pacific Islands, the way that Japanese soldiers raped, murdered, brutalized, enslaved, and starved the citizens of the countries they invaded. How Japan also starved, murdered and tortured the allied POWs they captured. Research Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and how that after the fall of Mussolini's Italy and after the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, the remaining axis power, Japan, refused to surrender and vowed to continue fighting. Japan was not a peaceful and innocent bystander in the second world war.

After Obama's fabulous no nuke deal I remember watching on the news that Saudi Arabia was willing to provide Israel with intel and allow them to use their air space if they decided to make an airstrike against Iran. That nation's goals is to conquer and control the oil rich Middle East. Not going to be so easy now.

I tried to read the OP but was distracted by the sound of your splooge hitting your computer screen at the thought of poor black kids being sent to die in a war that the US neither wants, needs nor can win.

Israel won't thrash Iran because they've not got the manpower nor the allied capabilities to do so. What they've been making noises about for decades is trying to force the US to thrash Iran, and no US president has yet been stupid enough to listen to Israel on this position.

I didn't twist your words around. The way you worded your response left me with the impression that you believed the U.S. was the aggressor who used nuclear weapons in an unprovoked attack against a helpless Japan 'as an act of war'. So you do know the reasoning behind Harry Truman's decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan, then?
