I suppose I'm the only one who foresees the potential of yet another Pearl Harbor event/situation. 

No, buddy, seems you just and for example do not read our comments. That to very much people was obvious from the beginning and especially military-analysers are pointing that out period.The great carrier-fleets are overcome for instance by modern satellites and easy to use fire and forget missiles, of which some fly only some feet above the water´s surface. It is like with the great battleships: they ruled in WW2, but afterwards they all in all were just a good place for Cher to make a music-video on or for corals to create a reef.How do you get rid of them and convince all America that vast investments have to be made in inventing a kind of a new stealth-carrier-clas s invisible to rockets and satellites? Besides having a good thing to point out to the media, for why it is necessary now to kill as much Iranians as revenge cries out for?
They put more and more and more troops and vessels into the relatively small one-way gulf, but the Iranians do still not attack, seemingly not willing to be giving aid to the shadow-government in the US, which needs something bigger than 9/11 now.The Carriers are similar to the WTC: old stuff, once really great and so on, but of no great use today, but high in costs of maintenance. Because the world changes. I was told inside the WTC was so much asbest, the necessary deconstruction of it according to health-law-statutes would have cost too much to be in any way affordable to the investors who wanted to build something more adequate at that very place.To me that was no foreseement of yours, but just a realistic observation of the situation and its intentions.

RT is censoring comments on their breaking news article about the earthquake in Mexico! They just removed every comment that criticized them for getting the name of the Mexican President wrong in the initial article, and they keep removing every other comment that mentions this censorship. RT is not free press, we finally have proof!!! Thats RIGHT TOMAZ.. The ONLY NEWS PAPERS in the WORLD that tell the truth is the USA. THEY only tell the TRUTH on CNN FOX NBC HLN ABC CBS  . I also think the PAITRIATE law is good. I also dont like IRAN they have been INVADING FOREIGN countries for the last 100 years. Just look at there BANKING. stealing MONEY from its people. THROWING people out of their homes. Its TRAGIC .. To much croonyisum in their GOVERNMENT.  Why would ANY BODY want to LIVE in IRAN.???  The SHAW of IRAN was bad and so was FAHROOK in Egypt. I WONDER how they ever got in POWER??? . .

We know you Iranians are sneaking stupid stuff around the world.  Iran we know you were selling Afghan Heroin via Venezuela.  You know that's why the US was there to stop it.

Are you really that stupid or just a shill ? That statement might work in the US with all stupid people believing in CNNABCNBC propaganda but the reality is, that the Taliban wanted to destroy the "stuff" as you call it. It is the US and his hemoroids that are protecting the heroin trade for operations. Heard of Oliver North and what he did on behalf of Uncle Sam ? Read up on it, might catch a glimpse of knowledge. The US is the warmonger on behalf of the Zionist Jew. I say go ahead and bring all your firepower, you might win the war, but you will not be able to go anywhere in the world without fear, plus you bankrupt yourself on the way, but who cares because "United we stand" right ?
Lets SEE the USA is broke, 1 in 4 houses are in FORECLOSURE.. USA PROVES one thing. They have a population of 330 million, the GLOBAL population is close to 7 BILLION.. I dont KNOW why the USA consumes 60% of the WORLDS illicit DRUGS!!!.. Yep life must be PRETTY stressful in the USA.

@  Europe1
Talking about deportation of people for exposing the crimes of the Zionists - well, isn't it just about high time for the Palestinians to deport your Zionist brethren from their occupied land?  The time is coming for the Fifth Column - Talmudic Zionist Jews, to be expelled from every
country; East and West straight to Sibiria.  Didn't Stalin give your the autonomous region in 1934 , Birobidzhan, to establish your state of Khazaria there - and how did your people show the gratitude to Stalin -
they poisoned him.  Most Khazars aren't to be trusted by East or the West.  East have nothing against the people of the West.
It is the Zionist Jews who are creating the divisions.  Siberia is waiting for you.  Ciao

So @ Eurasian :) Enjoy the west while it lasts because your constant anti west propaganda and west hate provoking hasnt gone un noticed and you are easily found. Deportation is only a matter of time. Immigration is coming to a halt (France, Germany, The Netherlands, England) Few examples of countries where the door is slowly but surely closing. The rest will follow.

What's wrong with you people for supporting 'ac'? S/he got 60 positive points. S/he supports Adolf Hitler in his/her comment. Don't you know that he didn't just kill Jews, but also Slavs (like Russians), Roma, politic dissents, religion minority, Deaf people, and more. In Mein Kampf, he believed all races, except Caucasians, are inferior. "All races" can mean American Natives, Japanese, Ainu, Maoris, etc. What if he won the war, his people will kill you if you don't support his ideology or fascism.

The Zionist has no choice just to stick to its role of a big stick. If the America loses its position in the world as biggest military force or regain independence from those parasites, the Zionist will be smoked out from every corner of the world. This is a matter of ‘’to be or not to be’’ for them, and no one should take this reality lightly. They will go to extremes, but from the different angle of view, they will earn their fate.

Perhaps Iran should launch an air raid to "attrit" the Dimona nuclear sight, then "degrade" Israels air power for a generation of defying UN resolutions.

BULLISH FOR STOCKS! When I read what to ordinary people might appear as negative news, I think wow, this is yet another opportunity for the US to print more money at China's expense. In fact, while the US government continues to manipulate everything in the supposedly 'free marketplace' at the same time it lies about every government statistics, the US markets continue to soar! Why? Because bad news is not really bad! It's actually great news when you can print infinite sums of money and inflate your way out of debt! Prices at the pump up? That's not inflationary!! It's just another opportunity to print more money, which is obviously NOT inflationary, because banks and Wall Street love free money to trickle down on the masses. Only pessimists and doomers read bad news into what's really an opportunity to print more money, and hence good news! War is obviously good for America or else why do it so often, right? BULLISH.

China should wake the hell up and realize their future for growth and their citizens depends on China not losing Syria and Iran to the Western war mongering US/Israel forces.

China has already lost 10's of Billions in Oil Contracts and Oil field infra-structure investments in Libya as well as Sudan directly resulting in a loss of 6-10% of their nations present need for foreign petrol-Oil. A loss of Iran would have China on the ropes, entirely at the depraved, corrupt mercy's of the Zionist led US/Israeli wishes.

Russi a should seek a minimum of a balance of power in the Middle East region and offer S-300 anti-aircraft battery's to surround the Iranian commercial nuclear reactor sites under the guise of protecting the Russian technicians working inside those plants.

China should help provide Iran with it's intelligence and communication intercepts under the guise of protecting the enormous numbers of Chinese petrol technicians working in the Iranian Oil fields.

Russi a, China and all nations wanting to avoid a US/Israeli led War on Iran and a likely WW3 which results should flood their media with this:

Paragra ph 4, Article 14 of Geneva 1958 Convention,if Oil Sanctions are imposed on Iran,it's entirely legal for Iran to close the Persian Gulf Access.

If US/Israel cannot be held to International Laws and Treaty's then WW3 is bound to erupt. Nations allowing evil TerroristIsrael to routinely break International Laws and Maritime Laws without warcrimes charges and trials are corrupting the world's courts and legal systems.

Russ ia, China should have the bulk of their nuclear submarines in the Persian Gulf area monitoring against any US/Israeli sub-launched cruise missile sneak attacks and backing up the Iranian naval forces.
Good POINT A Smith excellent observation. WHO knows maybe ROSSIYA just might have a FEW subs CRUISING those waters WHO knows.
