These cars are purchased with US taxpayer money. If it was delivered by Halliburton, it probably cost us $150K.
Didn't delete anything as the photo was the point and not the small photo hidden in the link it came from. #7 actually listed the article itself, but wasn't needed for the topic of the thread. Stop trying to make this thread more than it was meant to. It is a.....

Yep that is an Iraqi flag. Why would an Iraqi soldier be in Iran? To quote South Park's Johnny Cochran, THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

As Iran expands through Iraq, through Syria into Lebanon usually people would connect the dots. Numerous posters seem to not have that ability. They think, nah it's the Middle East it'll never effect me. People in the US said the same thing twice in relation to Germany. It's just a matter of time until they make it through Turkey and then the Europeans will be crying again: Help me, Help me.

Somehow "Like a Rock" has an entirely different meaning... Or maybe it's "Like Iraq"

I think you need to get out a little more. This isn`t 1955.

Iran is filling the power vacuum we left open in Iraq by pulling out. We can argue if we should have even got into there in the first place, but WE DID this. Trump was the sitting president when this happened.

I thought Turkey wanted us out of Syria to take Syria over...

Turkey want's to kill all the Kurds first. Thus opening the door to connect the next dot and switch sides.

You may want to get out more as they use a large amount of iPhones, drink large quantities of Coca Cola and smoke large quantities of American cigarettes. Also Izusu in the Middle East is mostly GM vehicles.

Exactly!


Too many people cannot differentiate between the two. Ive had threads on this in the past, relating to 'national security' not really being used to protect the nation itself, but rather to protect the US Govt!
