Iran Downs U.S. Drone, Warns: ‘We Are Completely Ready for War’
The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Thursday his forces shot down an American reconnaissance drone in international airspace to send a “clear, decisive, firm, and accurate message” to the United States and boasted his forces are “completely ready for war.”
By: John Hayward, Breitbart, June 20, 2019:
“Shooting down the American spy drone had a clear, decisive, firm and accurate message. The message is that the guardians of the borders of Islamic Iran will decisively respond to the violation of any stranger to this land,” said Gen. Hossein Salami, commander of the IRGC, which has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

“The only solution for the enemies is to respect the territorial integrity and national interests of Iran. Borders are our redline and any enemy violating these borders will not go back,” he said.
The IRGC claimed the drone penetrated Iranian airspace before it was fired upon, but the U.S. military said on Thursday the attack was unprovoked and occurred in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran periodically threatens to attack shipping in the strait or blockade it entirely.
“We do not intend to engage in war with any country, but we are completely ready for the war. Today’s incident is a clear sign of this accurate message,” Salami said.
The IRGC released a statement on Thursday morning that claimed the drone was “breaking all aerospace rules and hiding its identification, which is against all aviation rules.”
“While returning to the western Hormuz Strait’s region the drone violated Iran’s airspace and engaged in information-gathering and spying. At 4.05 a.m. local time while the violating airplane was over Iranian territory it was shot down by IRGC,” the statement said, giving the local time for the attack.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry continued claiming the drone violated Iranian airspace on Thursday.
“We give a decisive warning against the illegal and aggressive entry of any foreign intruding object and aircraft into the country’s sky, and against any violation of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s territories,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi.
“We strongly condemn this kind of aggressive and provocative action. We warn against any violation of Iran’s airspace by foreign flying objects and declare that violators are responsible for the consequences of their actions,” Mousavi said.

We Are Completely Ready for War
Glad to hear it, Salami. With Trump in the White House, you may need your full readiness.
Say, did you know Trump has a bigger button on his desk than you and a passel of ayatollahs do? And his button works.

During WWII, I understand, there was ONE big “camp” for the Japanese Heritage People in America. It was not a so called “training camp FOR war”.
Then there were smaller “camps” for the German Heritage People who were “captured”. This was also not a “training” camp.
In both instances, the majority of the individuals in these camps were treated humanly and with respect.
As far as the “internment camp” for the Japanese, it shall always be a black smudge mark in American history. Many of the People from this camp were Americans and they went and fought FOR America.

Dementia Nancy is slurring and jabbering an infantile conceptualization of a deadly serious situation like a spastic.
THIS is the second in line of succession to lead us through a dangerous world full of IED’s laid by obama? What good is a blithering old fool like this, dissipated by her own long failed career of corruption, now or in the future?
They’re all falling down, blown away by something they never thought they would see, the extreme contrast and harsh glare of a good example of a president, a public servant, a patriot. Good riddance and rot in Hell.
Pelosi says Iran is “well-known as a bad actor,” but doesn’t explain why she collaborated with and apparently supported the traitor president’s larceny against us to enrich Iran and extend its malign influence and threat around the world.
Thank God, we have a sober man and a serious decision-maker in the White House and not one of the many, sundry miscreants, drug addicts, delinquents and fools of the disgraced Democrat Pourdy.
We all need to support our president and pray for our country.

Iran military budget = $15 billion
USA military budget = $733 billion
NATO military budget = $1 trillion
– Trump can afford to wait
– and Trump will insist that the Saudis step up first
– the USA now gets zero oil through Hormuz
– North Dakota now exports more oil than Iran

Putting down Iran will not end the clear and present dangers
emanating from the Middle East. The real enemy is the belief system of Islam.
The dangers will continue to exist unless and until the free world accepts the
reality that all of the problems facing us are related to the belief system
that calls its followers to dominate, overthrow, subjugate, reach paradise
through hate and violence. That is our enemy. Until and unless we reject the
concept of “political correctness” which precludes us from stating and
accepting the fact that this belief system is the reason this world is in
conflict, all the rhetoric about Iran is meaningless. What we all should be
doing is setting in motion everything we can to recognize that it is the
sardonic promotion of the belief system of Islam that is the instigator of the
clear and present danger that the free world is facing. Our battle should be to
pursue a continuing ream of broadcasting that the belief system is responsible
for the violence this world is facing due to its instructing its followers to
overthrow all of us others, and until the belief system comes around to
rejecting its teachings in that regard, the rest of the world will stand
against their principles and diligently act in whatever manner is necessary to
stop these believers from endangering our free world societies. That is the
only place this battle can be won.

That archaic and stupid belief system is really all they have got and without it they are an empty shell. They’ve wasted 1400 years on such a myth that a child of today could see through but absurd as it is they’re not going to give it up now as without it they loose their identity.
What a waste!

IRAN DOWNS U.S. DRONE, WARNS: ‘WE ARE COMPLETELY READY FOR WAR’
He would have liked to have said, your Negro, the sodomite one, gave us money. Aeroplane loads. Thanks Negro.
We have NEVER attacked Iran going back decades on all kinds of atrocities. We were a paper tiger then and a paper tiger now.
Trump has never had Hillaryous arrested, and no real border wall. But we do have record illegal immigrants coming in and only his friends have been SWATTED, ARRESTED and JAILED (something that should have been done to Hillaryous and the sodomite Nerogro, etc.). Hillaryous is FREE as a bird. So is the Negro. Why he is vacationing in France or something with George Clowney showing off his Barbie doll collection.
So is Dying Frankenstein and Wassername. Corney is free too and a bunch of others. That’s the reality. What’s holding Trump back?
These people need to be SWATTED and JAILED.

Yep! The iranian TOTALITARIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM “administrators” are ready for war. They have been at war with the Iranian People since the “imammmm” GRABBED power over the government. These ‘immamms” will be totally flabbergasted when they will be concurred by the Iranian People themselves. America does not have to become involved in this COUP.

Pamela Geller. Great. What’s left to say, really, after her superb editorial line on this story? Vis a vie: “And Democrats cheer them on. They beat their women in the streets in the cause of Islam. of course they’re ready for war. It’s all they are ready for.” Brilliant, Pamela. Keep it up. We will win. All the arguments are in our favour. (Article shared).

Let Saudi Arabia and Israel (a strange alliance) take the lead in this war. Both are threatened by the Iranian government. They will do what we don’t have the balls to do: eliminate the “chief billy-goat” who rules the Persians.

The Saudis are absolutely useless as an armed force. They’re the richest country in the region and have bought the best weapons that money can buy for their troops supplied mainly from the USA and the UK and yet can Not defeat the Yeminis which is the poorest nation in the region with a rag-tag army armed with vintage rifles.

Really? what about the privately owned oil tankers you clowns routinely attack in International Waters? The countries where the owners are nationals have every right to provide security to the point of blowing those clowns out of the water if they try to attack in International Waters – That also is an act of war – I don’t know why the International community has allowed those piss ants to get away with this for so long ..

Everytime they attack an oil tanker in International Waters – IS AN ACT OF WAR – They are at war with every country those tankers belong to that they attack..
