  • Iranian official warns more US spy drones can be blown out of the sky

    An Iranian military official said Monday that Tehran is capable of shooting down more American spy drones as tensions between the two countries continue to simmer, according to a report out of the country.

    Rear. Adm. Hossein Khanzadi, Iran's naval chief, said Iran can deliver another “crushing response … and the enemy knows it," according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

    ...Trump expressed his willingness to open talks with Iranian officials without any preconditions – saying that he doesn’t want a war with the Islamic Republic, but if it comes down to an armed conflict it will be “obliteration like you've never seen before.”

    We have many enemies, both foreign and domestic, who seem intent on dragging President Trump into a war.

      I seem to remember Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein both bragging similarly before being carpet bombed into extinction. You would think Iran would have learned the lesson by now.

        Gaddafi wasn't carpet bombed into extinction; he shaped up, more or less, after Reagan's tactical strike (even moreso after GW II). He was more or less behaving when Team Obama/Clinton decided to take him out in an attempt to further the "Arab Spring"; Libya's been more or less in a state of chaos since.

            I'm fairly certain that was an unintended consequence, though I suppose it's not out of the question that a rival donor to the Clinton Foundation desired that result.

              And the lessoned learned by dictators everywhere? Even if you do straighten up and start doing what we want we'll still take you out so you might as well continue doing what you want.
