I understand why you think that. You're probably an actual American without any hyphen. Remember though, you're talking to Jews. They have their own calculus. Endless death in a pathetic desert is something that activates them. They vitally thrive off it.
I too enjoy Crusader Kings.
I'm on page 5663, they are? Lol.
Airstrikes are the new gunboats for nations without shorelines. He doesn't need boots on the ground for any of it. Send in the B-2's, the Iranians radars are shit from the stone age so they can't get a lock, drop the bunker busters, and go home. Let Israel deal with the rest. World saved from nuclear weapons
First of all, the real goal is regime change. That’s impossible without boots on the ground. And highly unlikely even then.
I think the hope is if we bomb them
You can bomb a country from the sky, but you can't rule it from the sky. You need men on the ground to topple the current regime, set up one of your own, and patrol the streets/wipe out any resistance.
There's no locus of resistance against the current Iranian regime. There's scattered pockets of resistance, but it's highly unlikely they can unite and topple Iran's government, especially when the bombing will probably kill more than a fair share of Iran's civilians, which will make them less likely to rise up against the Supreme Leader.
You’d think that lesson was learned in Vietnam.
What’s the demographic of these pockets why are they unlikely to unite? Are they just too different?
Sometimes, a lesson must be learnt twice or thrice before the person learns something. I've seen it myself.
Around a few of them are Christians who don't like the Ayatollah; most are just people living in squalor looking for something different. None of them are armed, and even fewer are willing to die for America. Especially if American bombs kill Iranian civilians. At that point, they'll just drive more people into the Ayatollah's arms.
Let's be real, if Trump really does launch us into another forever war, it'll only take people about a decade to forget and vote Republican again, just like with Bush.
I was right in that the leftists were probably lying.
Is there any historical precedence for something like this ever happening outside of the neocohenservatives delusions? How young (or old and senile) are some of the people here? This didn't even work in the 20th century with any of the WWII air campaigns or Vietnam, it didn't work in Iraq, and it isn't going to work on a country in the 21st century whose people are far more educated on average than either of the former two cases. Iranians have had access to the internet for decades the same as anyone else here, they're well aware of the fact that Israel/ZOG want them dead. In what world would they want to side with the people who are responsible for creating economic hardship for them through sanctions and are now literally trying to kill them?
>dying for Israel
If regime change is the goal, then why aren't we sending troops?
Then don't these recent actions by Trump make you think regime change isn't the goal?
If i was being generous to Thiel and Elon. They also want a strip mall. But have thought through that strip malls need supply chains and security and parking lots and people actually buying from them and what do you know? Sounds like alot of annoying nation stuff.
Because it isn't, apparently.
I think Netanyahu telling Iranians that "now was the time to rise up" gave the implication of such. Similar to why the likes of Cruz is espousing regime change, it's an easy way to argue the moral necessity of the strikes/intervention even without the presence of a nuke-making capability. That's not to say Iran isn't capable or making progress towards making a nuke to warrant these strikes, but it allows you to cover multiple bases when justifying the conflict rather than just 1 (a claim of WMDs), which the US public has a negative history with, especially when said fact is communicated from the government. If you can foster the idea that attacking Iran is the right thing to do, then it justifies the US's policy of supporting Israel, and if push come to shove, the direct US involvement via air strikes or something else.
