    Just the number of bodies around would cause terrible epidemics. Humanity itself has really never dealt with death on such an epic scale. Even if we somehow survived the effects of the radiation, the entire race might never be the same.

    And the trillions of $ it is going to cost are coming from your pocket?
    How about the toll in life?
    Are your children going to die for it?
    This is a shia/sunna religion war between two Islamic sects. Let the Egyptian army deal with it with Saudi money.

    Well my friend, the power of creation is some much greater than the power of destruction.
    This is why the US is so successful and why the ME is so backwards.
    Your barbaric ideas will get you nowhere.

    I suppose to you the power of creation was what he was replying to

    and just a few posts before that

    You found no problem with these posts which came before. You expect someone to take the suggestion of genocide against his own people with no response.

    As far as
    Well you cannot be talking about the US with creation as we know it is the leader in destruction. Even one of your own President's describes you as the most warlike country in the history of the world.

    I have been following the Houthis since 2010

    from your link

    Saleh broke with his putative ally this month, signaled to Riyadh that he was flipping sides again, and was killed days later. The Houthis won the battle for Sanaa but are isolated from the rest of Yemeni politics and political parties. Riyadh portrays them as Iranian puppets, but many Yemenis see them as patriots fighting the country’s traditional enemy Saudi Arabia and America, Israel’s defender. Houthi propaganda plays to the line that Yemen is under attack by a Saudi-American-Israeli conspiracy.

    You may want to check some of the links I posted. I don't think Genie has drilled a single well. Israel did something similar in 1998 with the help of Hayseed Stephens, Zion Oil and World Net Daily they sold worthless stocks for a decade over the "Largest Oilfield in the World.

    Maybe I can still find a link for you.

    Israel home to world's largest oil field? - WND
    https://www.wnd.com/1998/10/3351
    Dead Sea, is expected to begin in early 1999, according to respected Texas. oil man, Harold “Hayseed” Stephens. Until now, Israel’s Islamic enemies have possessed nearly 75 per cent of. the world’s oil reserves with Israel’s supply only a fraction of that.

    Because it is disputed territory... Trump only recognised the Golan Heights recently as Israels

    3 months ago... Jeesus you know what... forget about it... I don't care if you people know about this or not

    Unless the US somehow convinces itself that Iran will not hit back at any action it takes against it, the idea that the US has any reasonable military options against Iran is absurd. At least, to me. Iran, along with its actual allies -- Hezbollah, various Iraqi militia, various forces in Syria, along with the Houthis -- are enough to turn the region upside down. I have gone over what a war with Iran would actually look like in numerous threads on this subject and you are welcome to visit them to find out. What I have said is what any informed military analyst who has studied the issue would tell you, unless they are paid to tell you something false.

    This is also why the US has never been eager to engage Iran in an actual, direct, military war. There is no conceivable 'victory' for the US that can arise from something that will certainly take everything to uncharted territories that no person can reasonably predict or control. To put it simply, the idea of war with Iran, absent something that would truly justify it, would be stupid. And even if this attack, against a Saudi regime engaged in genocide and war in Yemen, was somehow directed from Iran, that would still merely highlight the kind of things that can happen with war with Iran. It wouldn't make those things any more palatable or justifiable to seek.

    There is, however, a lot of pressure on Trump to do something. His own instincts are divided, while those who have his ears tell him opposite things. Under the circumstances, he decided to punt the issue to the Saudis. And so we now have to basically wait and see whether the Saudis choose to throw another roll of the dice, this time not against a rag tag group like the Houthis, but against Iran? Or whether they will heed the message delivered to them and act accordingly.

    That is the truth. But what is better than truth? The whole truth.
    Truth be told many Americans are sick and tired of carrying the world's security on their shoulders.
    Why should they be the one keeping the gulf open to the world's oil (they have enough oil of their own)
    Why should America be keeping the South China Sea free for international navigation (Hague pronouncements are all the EU can do)
    Why should America provide a nuclear umbrella to stop the every nation on earth having and using nukes?
    Why should America have to fund the defenses that Europe won't pay?
    Why should America be called upon to stop Serbs and Hutus from going on killing sprees when Europe and Africa won't?

    get the idea?
    got any ideas who will step up the plate if America goes back into isolation?

    He was talking about decapitating USA.
    Hardly any creation involved there, only destructive wishful thinking of a child brain.

    I was responding to the idea that decapitation of Iran is "easy", making the point that 'destruction' is always easy. Even of those who you think are big and immune of such destruction. Otherwise, my actual message is about letting people create, not destroy.

    You see, the power of creation in USA is so strong that it can even overcome an idiot like Carter as its president.
