Thread Name: BS: Hillary threatens to obliterate Iran
Subject: RE: BS: Hillary threatens to obliterate Iran
Hell, if Iran attacked Israel with nukes, Israel would be able to totally obliterate them, let alone the USA!
Talk about stating the perfectly bloody obvious...
Israel does not need the USA's nukes in order to totally obliterate Iran...Israel has plenty of nukes of their own to do it.
An how is it taken when an Iranian politician makes such provocative statements in regards to Israel or the USA? Not well.
So why is it deemed perfectly okay for our politicians to make such provocative statements in regards to Iran? Why is our sabre-rattling assumed to be perfectly okay, but theirs is considered criminal?
Double standard. As usual. We are apparently considered human, Israelis are apparently considered human, but Iranians? Oh, they're just Islamic vermin...to be exterminated whenever we see fit. That is the underlying message of this kind of jingoistic blather. It's what resonates unspoken between the lines. We're human. They're not. We will destroy them.
The only question appears to be: when? Nice attitude.
