Here's your counter offer, Satan...

You open that fucking strait right now and we don't put a crater so deep you that you aren't part of the fucking strait yourself.

Capisce?

so....The Spice Must Flow...but who are the USA in those books?


they are bored with Trump, they will maybe go full jihad...as the Taliban have done they turned to jihadi islamist religion for guideance

Iranians, Arabs they follow a bunch of folklore, religion, fictional crap that you might find for example in Dune books

the sky blackens

like Jews and Christians they have Doom stories, a violent subhuman group called Gog and Magog, a tyrant spreading corruption and mischief called the Sufyani, but also a "messianic figure" there is an arrival of the Beast of the Earth an eschatological figure in Islam mentioned in Quran or Koran, maybe you can conmpared it to the movie the Omen or Anti-Christ story but there are also type of Armilus stories like Hebrew an anti-messiah figure in medieval Jewish texts, Dajjal, is an antagonistic figure in Islamic eschatology who will pretend to be the promised Messiah and later claim to be God, Trump himself has made AI tweets of himself as 'holy' posted Golden Statue crap

They see Trump as a type of Anti-Human a type of Arrival of Satan's servant speaker...not to mention the history of Arabs, Iranians various muslim factions and the Jews and the Iranians going back and forth killing each other adding more to their Doomsday Prophecy and 'signs'

the Shitte needed an Iranian to be killed to fulfill a prophecy, most of the jihad warlord leaders after Mohammad were Arabs...Trump gave their jihadist spirit islamist nonsense a Shiite story, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s killing plays into Shiite End Times prophecy

maybe they can all be characters in those books


I think some modern places like Portugal and Poland are less concerned about Empires, trying to maintain forgotten lines drawn across sandss in the Middle East

Herbert seem to have mocked religion and wanted people to think, hung around the hippie and Arab Iran India culture a while...raised Catholic but became Buddhist, he had a strong attitude of cynicism towards religion

Intimidating Iran by murdering millions of Iranians with A-bombs won't work politically for Trump. The population of Iran is 93.4 million. The government of Iran would be sanguine with Trump killing millions because the country is overrun with people. But the population of the United States would overthrow Trump if he murdered Iranians, especially with nukes, which he has to use since he doesn't have sufficient conventional weapons to do the job. The choice is either nuke Iran or give up because Trump doesn't have the guts to invade Iran to overthrow the government as Bush did in Iraq, capturing Saddam Hussein.

The Iran war is dragging on, and dragging more nations in — As Donald Trump has swung between vowing to strike Iran “very hard” and hinting at peace “pretty soon”, the war in Iran has spread in new and dangerous ways

Wow, that's so stupid. We don't have enough conventional weapons to do that. We ran out of all of our "spares" trying to eradicate Iran's leadership and weapons back in February, remember? So unless Trump is willing to use nukes, that's a toothless threat.

Another stupidity. HOW would you invade successfully?

It's not lack of guts. Missiles and drones changed the nature of war. The adversary is prepared. We can't fly in and deliver "shock and awe" like before. Heck, we can't even approach Iran with our aircraft carriers for fear of them being sunk.
Invading would be all cost and no success.

No "they" don't. Not the leaders who don't believe any of that superstitious bullshit and use it to control their people.

A bunch of dipshit cultists might believe it. Especially if their prices to live are skyrocketing while all of this is going on. Like Democratic voters here, they're easily led people. That's what happens when you're in a cult.

That's why we don't threaten. We just start dropping nukes on them.
