Title: Iran and Azerbaijan
Post by: WLJ on October 01, 2021, 07:53:24 AM
Ed Nash takes a look at a potential flash point that if it goes hot could drag in other nations like Turkey, China, Pakistan, plus a handful of others and maybe even Russia. It's a short 5 minute video that explains it way better than I could in a paragraph or two.

Glad we have a strong President in the White House with the strength and resolve to deal with things like this.

Let 'em all have at it, and keep our nose out of it.

This x 1000.  Seeing a protracted war somewhere that doesn't involve the US would be a nice change.  I don't think it is our job to get involved in other people's wars or stop them. 


The weakness of our President only means that parts of our govt agencies might try to get involved in one way or another and the President won't stop it.  The only one we are obligated to help is Turkey.

And Erdogan is no friend of the U.S. We should cut ties with Turkey, as well. But ...

And their lies the problem. Weak presidents often will get involved to appear strong but lack the strength to see it through to success once we've up to our necks.

The last president we had with any resolve was Harry Truman.

You mean the guy who gave Nork, Chinese, and Russian pilots a safe haven north of the Yalu River?
