Maybe you should word your bets better before you place them, instead of backing out when you lose.

Maybe you should think more clearly?  Why would anyone bet that troops suddenly stop being moved about? 

3 months since the OP warned us and still the US hasn't even moved troops into staging areas let alone prepped an invasion of Iran.

Anyone taking bets on this still being the case in 3 more months ?

1. If you want to take this bet, the US will have "prepped" the invasion of Iran as it did Iraq and
2. the US will be moving several hundred thousand men into countries that share borders with Iran along with the kit needed for an invasion.   

Clear enough? 

In the example you gave, the US has not even suggested that an invasion is possible and the men in Kuwait would have to invade Iraq before they invade Iran.  I don't believe that qualifies but if I am proven wrong, I'm more than happy to eat crow and pay you 10 BTC.  If these men have not invaded Iran in 3 months, I have no doubt that you will be sending me 10 btc.

Oh ?  I'll take your bet.  10 BTC.  Hopefully you can cover that.

"The United States is not at war with Iran yet, but just in case,the Pentagon says they want to be prepared. To do so, the Department of Defense has dispatched 15,000 troops to the neighboring nation of Kuwait."

Seems like a pretty big troop movement into a staging area to me.

Please pay it to 123gmMWUrwVBZ7orpU8kEdZiC8qUmcAGMK

Iraq is quarter of the size of Iran.  The US deployed 466985 troops in Kuwait for that.  Also Kuwait does not share a border with Iran.

Keep beating the drum though...

Oh, I'm sorry...I didn't see where you specified a minimum amount of troops to be moved.  It looks to me as though YOUR bet was that, in 3 months, U.S. still would not have moved troops into "staging areas" for Iran.  Yet, days prior to your statement and bet...the U.S. did move troops into "staging areas".  I'm pretty sure that when I posted the acceptance to your bet, it was within your "3 month period" and troops had been moved.  What does the size of Iraq have to do with anything or Kuwait sharing a border with Iran ?

Like I said...Please pay 10 BTC to 123gmMWUrwVBZ7orpU8kEdZiC8qUmcAGMK...unless you want to default on your own bet.  Is this really the reputation you want to uphold around here ?

Sorry - I can see the ambiguity but the thread is about invading Iran.  The US moves troops all the time.  Its not going to invade Iran this side of a US election and it won't have moved troops for the invasion into place in the next 3 months.

But of course, if the US does invade Iran and uses the 15000 troops deployed to Kuwait as its invasion force, feel free to PM me for payment.

I can see how that may be seen as such, you know...the thread is talking about the actual invasion and all.  Except, your bet had nothing to do with the actual invading of Iran...it had to do with moving troops into staging areas, did it not ?  Maybe you should have made a bet that we won't invade Iran within the next 3 months.  That's a bet I wouldn't have taken with you.  Why are you weaseling out of this ?

Please pay 10 BTC to 123gmMWUrwVBZ7orpU8kEdZiC8qUmcAGMK

lol try harder.  As you highlighted yourself, its still the case that the US has not invaded Iran despite the warning that it was imminent.  



Try harder to do what ?

What were you exactly betting on, since it wasn't troop movements into staging areas, obviously ?

What a joke you are LOL.

Invasion of Iran of course.  Read the OP.

Nor are they going to invade Iran. Doesnt mean a war will not be fought.

A war is being fought and it has been going on since 1979.  The title of this thread is "Count down to Iran invasion."  The endless skulduggery between the CIA and Al Quds people does not count as an "invasion."

+1

I've been arguing in the favor of the op here. Actually I don't think there will be an "invasion" in terms of ground troops actually invading, that would become a bloody mess pretty quickly. But I guess there will be war... actually one could argue there already is (scientists murdered, currency attacked, embargo,...)

They have been caught lying in the past and hold positions that are beyond the pale for a nation-state.

Interesting and thoughtful comments. Not withstanding the facts stated above, I do not trust Iran. They have been caught lying in the past and hold positions that are beyond the pale for a nation-state. They are an international pariah for a reason.

The reason for them being a pariah is they do not take orders from Washington.  BTW, its only the US and EU and their puppets that see Iran as a pariah.
As for "positions that are beyond the pale".. what are you thinking off exactly? I hope didnt buy in to all that "wipe Israel of the map" nonsense.. or did you?
If you mean their religious views and inspired policies.. yeah, well, cant disagree there, but compared to most of our close allies in the region, they are extremely progressive and almost a  model democracy. Ever been to Quatar or Saudi Arabia? If Iranians want that changed, its up to them, not us to impose it.

They do not want a war, as they will surely be among the looser. My opinion is that they are trying to play a dangerous game of brinkmanship.
