Ralstonite Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Time to get the popcorn out! Soleimani could prove to be the Franz Ferdinand of World War III. Trump seems to be particularly obsequious towards Israel, for example by recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Israel has been agitating for war with Iran for ages, with Natanyahu's speech to Congress eliciting dozens of standing ovations: Iran have promised to retaliate and, given the reaction across the country, the leadership would look very weak if they don't. This could escalate very quickly. Edited January 3, 2020 by Ralstonite -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralstonite Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 It suits Trump, and will win him the support of AIPAC. Israel has been desperate for this for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Oh this is going to be good. We're going to see just how many Scottish football fans on an obscure message board are experts in Middle Eastern geopolitics and warfare. Have the Jews been blamed yet? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one has to be an expert now to have an opinion? As for Israel, I take it you didn't watch the first video? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't safe until you were 42 by the end of the Second World War, presumably because that's the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Even then, you still had to do some kind of national service if you were younger than 60. I understand they just shot the pensioners and make them into pies to beat rationing. I'm sure you'll be delicious, @Granny Danger. Edit: I've just realised that I'm too old for active duty, even at times of extreme national crisis. At this rate I might have to give up any hope of playing for Scotland Edited January 3, 2020 by BigFatTabbyDave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on IT'S WAR. Hang on a minute. You do know that they tend to cancel the league season during times of war and even if they don't then crowd numbers will probably go down. Not sure you have really thought this through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 America deploying more patriot missiles to Israel and Saudi Arabia. I always remember them being deployed during gulf war. A lot of hype but they were utter shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
